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

I have it. 😁
I'm heading to the theater right now. I'll definitely grab a big bucket of popcorn and have a bite for you too...

Just go ahead and swallow it all 😁
And then we'll see how it ends up in Chicago, where everything always seems to fall apart 😉 😁

Steven Ruiz, what are you watching lately?

I just finished the new Allen movie... I mean, Woody is still Woody, but you can definitely tell the guy is getting older... 😢

I was never really into that featherweight Macchio guy; I was always more obsessed with American Ninja 😁 I think his name was Michael Dudikoff or something...

Mickey, I bet you were totally into Chin O'Brian 😉 😁 or maybe even Chuck Norris 😉

Haha! You see, Steven Ruiz, it turns out I’m not the only one with a massive collection of total trash movies...
Man, I definitely remember Dudikoff too, but let's be honest, Ralph Macchio was the absolute heartbreaker for me...
I can't even tell you how many sleepless nights I spent just staring at his poster hanging right above my bed. Seriously!
Anyway, I was finally sitting down to watch "The Two Towers," and I was right in the middle of it—having just polished off all my popcorn (including a little handful for Mickey, of course)—and just as Aragorn was remembering Arwen, a siren started blaring in the theater and they evacuated everyone because of a bomb scare. And so... now I have no idea what happened next... Nothing is going my way today. Oh, and I also missed Snow White on TV because I decided to head to the cinema, which turned out to be a complete waste of time... 😠
By the way, ruggedjackal46, are you coming by tomorrow?

I basically spent my entire childhood glued to the screen at the local AMC theater watching Kung Fu flicks... and please, let's not start some massive, never-ending thread about Bruce Lee right now 🙂

P.S. I actually caught three moderators chatting in the chat room—just giving the rest of you forum members a little example of how it's done 😁

P.P.S. Honestly, Chuck Norris’s best role was alongside Bruce Lee in "Enter the Dragon" (granted, he didn't have much screen time, but hey, that makes it his best performance by default 😁 )

Um, this isn't really a chat room, you know? Can't you see we're all here talking about movies and famous actors and those amazing cinematic experiences! 😁

P.S. I actually caught three moderators chatting in the lounge—just giving the rest of you guys a little heads-up... 😁

P.P.S. Chuck Norris gave his best performance playing alongside Bruce Lee in "Enter the Dragon" (granted, he didn't have a ton of screen time, but that’s exactly why it stands out as his best role😁 )

Ma Miki, you know I'm a huge fan of Bruce and those classic Hong Kong productions too! 🙂))

That's where Chuck played the villain... man, that guy was great in Enter the Dragon 🙂))

What about Mortal Kombat, Steven Ruiz? 😉

Seriously, who’s out here hating on The Karate Kid and my girl Steven Ruiz? The Karate Kid absolutely crushes it. Honestly, cheers to all those low-budget martial arts flicks! Long live the sequels to Enter the Dragon and Mortal Kombat! Long live Christina Aguilera! And let’s hear it for Bruce Lee! Plus, shoutout to my brother-in-law's weird alt-prog rock!

P.S. I actually caught three moderators chatting in the lounge—just thought I'd give the rest of you users a little heads-up...

And now, a fourth unsigned one joins the fray 😉

I think there might be a little bit of a mix-up here... I don't actually care for Mortal Kombat, but I absolutely adore Bruce Lee!
Anyway, why does it feel like nobody even cares that I was evacuated from the theater???? Now how am I ever going to find out what happened next in the story?

Steven Ruiz said:You guys got it a little mixed up... I don't actually like Mortal Kombat, though I do love Bruce Lee.
Anyway, why does nobody care that I was evacuated from the theater???? How am I supposed to know what happened next?

What do you mean you don't like Mortal Kombat? When I was a kid, I used to count down the days until I saved up enough $3.25 just so I could run down to the local arcade and play Mortal Kombat 3!

What happened next? Well, go to the cinema and watch 😛

Steven Ruiz, seriously, how did they not give you your money back?

If you've got some crazy fast fiber connection or something, go download The Two Towers and just see for yourself what went down.

They gave me a movie ticket for a return screening, but that just means I’m going to have to sit through that first hour and a half all over again when I already saw it...
🙄

Maybe try actually brushing up on your material first 😁

Well, it looks like I’m going to have to go through with it. At least my subject matter is easy on the eyes and good for the soul, unlike that stuff you've been posting... 😛

Anything that doesn't give the mind or the soul a real workout gets boring fast—I mean, where's the substance? (And honestly, what was the point of watching that 90-minute thing you already saw anyway...) 😁

It takes about an hour and a half to sit through most of LOTR. 🙂That’s roughly the same amount of time it takes to actually read a username like Mikilegendocarekupinamcigareyorkov. Or maybe it's the time you spend dwelling on the final episode of Twin Peaks before realizing you didn't understand a single thing that happened. An hour and a half isn't exactly a short amount of time, is it?

Steven Ruiz, how much are they charging you for this crap?😕 😁

driftingowl27 said:Steven Ruiz, how much are they paying you for this?😕 😁

Paying me? I think not. The only thing I get paid for is stopping people from launching baseless attacks against The Karate Kid—which, let's be honest, is actually an underrated masterpiece that only true cinephiles can actually appreciate.😛

ruggedjackal46 said:The Karate Kid is actually this misunderstood, deep masterpiece that only true cinephiles can really appreciate

Oh yeah, clearly only the "true connoisseurs" can handle it. 😛 😁

Look, we can't really be blamed if you aren't actually a true expert on cinema or those absolute masterpieces of film history... Yebiga.
The agency really drilled that kind of knowledge into both me and Sid... 😉
