Honestly, this movie is a solid 10. I’ve spent years actively avoiding it, but I finally stumbled upon it by pure chance the other day, and man, was I wrong to skip it.👍

You really got me with that "believe in an angel" line, but I’m hoping someone will actually join me in trashing this absolute garbage.

SO, IT WORKS FOR CONGESTION—JUST TAKE IT IN SMALL DOSES THROUGHOUT THE DAY IF YOU WANT THE EXPERIENCE TO BE AS PAINFUL AS POSSIBLE... DIARRHEA IS A TOTAL GUARANTEE....🙈

I’ve already mentioned Ferrara in another thread as a cult classic..
You can't really draw a comparison here, not even with the two actors carrying the whole film, but I do notice that Nikola has tapped back into that psycho-cool vibe he had in *Vampire's Kiss*. That’s actually a good sign, because his work was much more solid back then—especially when he was citing Gary Oldman as his main influence, at least according to him. So, who knows, maybe after a while, something interesting will actually emerge from him again..
But comparing this to the original? That would just be a joke. Then again, Hollywood is such a massive machine that they'll film just about any piece of filth without a shred of dignity; with them, you truly never know what kind of mess you're going to get..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05xm2...eature=related If this doesn't count as spooky, then I honestly don't know what does... besides everything else, this one just won't leave my head.

Tom Sizemore — born killers, just total maniacs... I don't think he actually played that role in that one..😈
Lee Jones in the same movie—Dwight from McCluskey-Madness—you can't even decide which performance was better (though my money is on Tom)..

Directed by Abel Ferrara. Harvey Keitel as"Bad Lieutenant"😠

and of course Mickey Rourke — Bullitt and Barfly🙏

I'm with you on this one.😁

Honestly, you're a little late to the party... a retrospective like this can sometimes skew the core of the story, which means you might have just missed the mark... forget about it, though, because it probably won't sit right with you now anyway.

In a way, he’s been a defining force in my life; he was my idol back before he even touched the radar of mainstream popularity... and honestly, that hasn't changed. He's one of a kind, a singular phenomenon. And look, if people want to fixate on how much he’s let himself go, that’s just his business. He earned his spot in the legends long ago, and he’ll stay there, standing tall alongside figures like Henry Kissinger, regardless of whether anyone likes it or not. Too extraordinary to live, too rare to die... that’s Mickey Rourke.

If you don't actually have a comment or an opinion on conditioning, why bother trolling like this for no reason? (And no, that isn't a question, so please don't try to answer me here!) 🤷

I have an opinion, and I’ve already stated it. This isn't even a response to you specifically; it's just that everyone has descended into some sort of amateur psychoanalysis of one another, which makes reading this whole thread pretty ridiculous. You're all just talking in circles...☕

Auuuu, where the hell is this all heading...😕

Missing the mark on the actual point isn't exactly a rare occurrence around here, especially when it comes to those poorly translated titles.

I’ve always leaned toward American media—that's just how I was raised—and I honestly struggle to get into anything from the Germans, the Japanese, or the Italians. It's just not my speed. But it is interesting to see how high-end production values can change the way you perceive things. For instance, seeing a title like "They Eat Dogs in China" felt like a total slap in the face; I was left sitting there like an idiot, almost unable to speak anything but Danish (or maybe Mexican, damn that Ratko). It's a similar feeling with Spanish media; whenever I'm watching Torente, there really isn't a better sense of humor out there than the Spanish style—I start cracking up the second the dialogue kicks in.

Do you honestly think it’s easy being Spock’s mother?

Man, I tried heading down to the beach too, but there just wasn't any room left for a turtle... what a letdown...

Great, I’m probably going to wet myself when he hears about this... and he’s only three. To hell with these turtles... I’m out here showering with their shampoo, eating off their plates, and Donatello—whose heart beats like a church bell all day long—is staring me down from the wall because of that clock. Now that he's seen the movie poster 🤷
If only they were female turtles...

Richard Wilson4 said:Look, don't drag guys like Dolph or Dudikof into this discussion, because let’s be real—they were never top-tier A-list talent...

It's pretty simple: if you had their posters tacked up on your bedroom wall when you were just some 14-year-old kid, it just means they were B-list actors... 😂😂😂

True enough but they definitely had their moments in the spotlight, I'll give them that.

Take Michael Paré, for instance—he was all over those old TV dramas and movies back in the day.

I took another look at it yesterday after such a long time... and honestly, everything I said before still holds up perfectly.

Well, if we’re playing by those rules, then Dolph Lundgren never actually retired either. The guy is constantly on some set somewhere—and sure, half of it isn't even worth watching, but hey, he's working... I was really talking about that specific "A-list" presence, that omnipresent aura where their names just echo in everyone's head the second you mention the genre.
When you brought up action, I assumed you had Schwarzenegger and Stallone etched into your brain, or maybe Jim Carrey for comedy... but things aren't quite like that anymore. Honestly, we wouldn't even be having this debate if things hadn't shifted.

Take those two idiots, Haim and Feldman, for example. They were basically the teen idols of America; nothing could move without them. It was all popcorn, hamburgers, chocolate, and milkshakes, man... and then, suddenly, it's like they were abducted by Mulder’s aliens or something. Just vanished. Like they ran some sort of experiment on them and tossed them back down to see how they'd react—one burned up on reentry and the other made a pretty messy landing.

As for Kurt, I honestly think he just faded out of existence overnight... that’s all there is to it. And then you have Alec, who seems to be fighting tooth and nail against retirement, but the truth is his brothers—all three of them—were absolute icons for a brief window of maybe three or four years before they just vanished from the cultural radar entirely...
Nobody seems to be mentioning the other duo, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. Feldman actually went out and filmed what felt like a cheap knockoff sequel to *The Lost Boys*... honestly, if you ask me, the guy looks more artificial than a piece of plastic with an expired shelf life.

Absolute trash... honestly, these two patients are acting just like those guys who hang around the local Walmart trying to redeem plastic bottles for scrap. When the second-hand stuff finally shows up and they start acting all tough, they just end up tossing the bottles everywhere like complete losers.👎
