The Karate Kid (Kiki, Mickey, and the rest...)

Oh, come on, you’re clearly getting in on the action in this thread too! Besides, I already shared my thoughts on your Little Red Riding Hood and declared it an absolute masterpiece...
So why the sudden attitude?

But anyway, Mickey... once I started this whole thread about The Karate Kid, you actually saw your post count jump up by 16 extra posts!
Since things are looking so good, I think I'll go ahead and start some more topics about our favorite movies and singers, because the forum just feels so much more alive when we're all chatting like this...

Of course they don't get old for me! Every single movie feels like a whole new experience... And please, give me back my title before I lose my mind!
The title is "The Karate Kid"

Look, did he make a profit? Sure. But we’re the ones who backed him into a corner, so you could say we played a part in that too. 😁
As for us moderators, someone like Steven Ruiz should really be setting the standard here. 😁
But anyway, back to the point—doesn't it drive you crazy how almost every single Hollywood blockbuster follows the exact same cookie-cutter formula?

Bring back the old title, I'm begging you!
I mean, how are fans of The Karate Kid supposed to even know where to go to leave a review when you’ve given this thread such a pretentious title that they won't even bother clicking on it, let alone watching the movie...
Seriously, please, just change it back! 🙏

Why don't you just start a whole new thread with this same title so we can have our own little space to debate your boring, pretentious flicks versus my vibrant, colorful masterpieces... 😁

By the way, Mickey, I actually studied media, including film studies, among other things. Ha ha... so you can see why I think that way... 🙂

I changed the title—does it work? 😁
Come on, give me one of my lame movies right now, you jerk 😠 😁

Steven Ruiz said:By the way, Mickey, I actually studied media—film included. Ha ha... so yeah, think about that.

And you’re telling me that didn't help you much...🙂>

You’re such a sweetheart. This version feels so much better... 😘 👋

That’s not true at all! You can clearly see I've developed some great taste in movies lately, whereas before I was just as indecisive as you were... hehe. 😁 😉

Steven Ruiz said:Oh, please. You can clearly see I've developed actual taste in movies now. Before this? I was as basic as you are.

Are you absolutely positive that wasn't some kind of specialized training academy or something... 😁

Oh, right... now that I think about it, I’ve realized I actually have a soft spot for those old Hollywood musicals too... you know, the ones where everyone just bursts into song and dance right in the middle of a high-stakes drama... even when it makes absolutely zero sense... I just love how vibrant and colorful everything gets, with all the flashy costumes and everyone acting so joyful... even if the whole plot just goes completely out the window... 😁

Hollywood is 😎 , if you've got nothing better to do with your 😁

I’ve always got plenty of time for Hollywood, but as for those weird tastes of yours...🙂
Hehe...
I honestly can't believe you aren't a fan of The Karate Kid... oh man... your poor kids... You might actually have to send them over to my place once in a while so they can finally get some exposure to decent music and actually watch some quality movies... 😁

So they can just become blinded by consumerism in its most pathetic, bottom-of-the-barrel form—just like their instructor? Not a chance. 😁

Wait, what??? 😲
I’d say I’m more of a selective consumer...
Um... let's call it a connoisseur of consumerism... 🙄 😁

I think I’ll just blast some Christina Aguilera on the stereo and pop The Karate Kid into the DVD player... unless you can come up with something even better... 😁

I honestly feel like such an idiot for what I just did. 🙂 😁

Steven Ruiz said:I’m gonna blast Christina Aguilera through the speakers and pop The Karate Kid in the DVD player. What else is there? 😁

First we get Aguilera, then we move on to some plastic surgery and a BlackBerry... seriously, where's the cash coming from? 😁

Steven Ruiz said:... and don't even get me started on my massive crush on Ralph Macchio 😁 🙄 .

LOL, same here 😁
Man, when was that even... I haven't had a "taste" like that since... 😁
