Tarzan is awesome. Space Jam is not. Good night, amigos. Spaghetti out.

[DAR]

I'll take Come and Ride the Train for my Quad Cities DJ fix thank you

[wileECoyote]

As a Looney Tunes fan Space Jam is nowhere near as funny as the classics.  Watched it once in the theaters and never again.  Same thing with Looney Tunes: Back in Action

[DAR]

Speaking of Phil Collins I've had Misunderstanding as an earworm all day

[LexJoker]

I loved Flubber when I saw it the first time.

[Spidey Freak]

Nobody who wasn't a kid in the 90s will care much for Space Jam. Fortunately I was so I believe I can fly..

I like Space Jam. However, it isn't a good movie and even as kid I knew that.

 

It is just so bad it is hilarious. Michael Jordan's acting was hilariously bad.

The song Pompeii will be more successful than the movie Pompeii, discuss.

I find it funny that the movie didn't use that song. Instead "Mr. Peabody and Sherman" is using that song for promotion. Missed opportunity.

I guess Pompeii didn't erupt at the box office.

The least Pompeii could have done was put some Timber in the commercials.

It wouldn't fit the theme of the movie though.  Not like marketing for Pompeii was decent anyway, but a historical period adventure + a modern pop song would've been a weird juxtaposition.

Considering the amount of effort they put into an accurate historical portrayal, the song would have fit in perfectly.

...or explode lol

Who has seen this? Even if it's crap as long as it's fun it's okay.

I have. It is fun once the volcano explodes, it is a drag till that point. The "Bay of Naples Tsunami" looks awesome on the big screen, and some of the destruction is shown very well. The love story sucks, and Kiefer Sutherland is basically phoning it in completely, he looks disinterested throughout.
