Caddyshack and Spaceballs are still good, so go fuck yourselves.

Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
Wayne’s World sucks- what are some other classic movies that don’t hold up?
- Thread starter BonnieMcFarlaneMe2
- Start date
Not really considered a classic, but The Nutty Professor (1996, never saw the original). I liked it at a kid, but I watched it a few years ago and thought it was terrible and unfunny and Eddie Murphy is hard to stomach with his over the top yelling as Buddy Love. One big fat joke, WE GET IT!
I might get shit on, but a lot of the classic comedies I've tried to watch from the late 70s/early 80s don't really hold up for me like Animal House and Caddyshack in particular. I don't hate them and I can see why they were big and everything, but I just don't really find them that funny. NL's Vacation holds up for me though.
I still like Wayne's World 1 & 2... sniff.

The Alien chest burst scene is pretty hilarious
Gotta disagree with you on Dumb and Dumber, it mostly holds up, but yeah, I would rather watch my family begging for their lives at the hands of Shiite death squads than watch 10 minutes of Ace Ventura.
I liked Ace Ventura 2 more as a kid.
I consider it the funniest movie ever made. Nick Swardson talking about his racecar bed, “my mom is going to get me a CB radio for Christmas. I can talk to other car beds, it’ll be hot.”
I like Ace Ventura simply for the fact that it triggers the fuck out of most trannies.

Hates Spaceballs. Loves real balls.
Dumb and Dumber is still funny to me.
I haven’t seen either Wayne’s World in forever so I’m curious if they hold up for me or not Tried the first Austin Powers a while ago and I barely laughed at all. It just feels like an elongated, mediocre SNL bit. I hated Space Balls even as s kid so I agree there. Caddyshack stinks besides the Ted Knight character and Rodney was ok too. Chevy always bugged me and that kid with the main role was a total dud. I didn’t like Animal House either. Was before my time and just didn’t hit with me. The Jim Carrey comedy movies don’t bug me so much. Ace Ventura is a completely stupid character but I still like Dumb and Dumber and even The Cable Guy has some funny moments to me despite it being under the Apatow umbrella. Boring ass Matthew Broderick brought that movie down more than anything.
I dunno if Independence Day is a classic but I absolutely hate that movie and I always have. Every acting performance in it sucks. The stock characterizations are bothersome. The action is irrelevant. The aliens look stupid. The ending couldn’t be more dumb. Bill Pullman sucks in everything. I’m getting mad just thinking about it. Respect to Roland Emmerich for making so much money despite being a fucking terrible director. He’s made exclusively shit movies and keeps plowing ahead.
V for Vendetta seems to get a lot of praise in some circles and I might hate that movie more than Independence Day. Why hire Natalie Portman to play a Brit when she can’t do an accent to save her life? Watch the clip where she says “you cut off my hair” or whatever. Says hair like “haaaaaaahhhhh!”. Infuriating. Just hire a Brit for fuck’s sake. V is a retarded character. His “remember remember the 5th of November” or whatever date it was speech is annoying and pretentious. The plot is insipid. The critique of modern society was weak and felt like a high school lecture. Hate it.
I hate the 40 Year Old Virgin as well. That Apatow era of comedy mostly stunk. Steve Carrell isn’t funny. Seth Rogen even less so. That ugly broad they had Carrell dating in it was useless and added nothing. It’s just devoid of memorable laughs. No idea why it’s still praised.
I hate Superbad also. Seth Rogen and Fatty Goldstein or whatever his name is aren’t funny. Michael Cera is atrocious with his “gee whiz” antics in everything he does. Fuck that whole cast.
Might be blasphemy to some but I really hated An American Werewolf in London as well. It started off really well but just devolved into a total mess of who cares scenes. The end couldn’t be more abrupt and stupid. David Naughton is not a compelling actor, especially as a lead.
I know Mel is a deity in these parts, but I hate Braveheart also. It’s a mishmash of bullshit. The love story was unnecessary and overwrought. The historical accuracy was almost non-existent. It’s too long. Could have cut a ton of ancillary stuff out and made it less if a quagmire. As an aside it’s also funny to me that in period pieces, the hairstyles always give away the era in which it was made. Mel looking like a late 80s to early 90s rocker with his shitty bedraggled hair with leaves in it. Ridiculous movie.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a boring pile of shit with the quintessential annoying as shit Spielberg child actors. He doesn’t know how to cast child actors who aren’t annoying. If a kid has a prominent role in one of his movies, there’s a 90% chance I hate the movie. This movie gets a lot of praise and I get it as a slow burn in the context of it’s era, but it just annoys me.
Rocky Horror Picture Show. I can tolerate a musical but this pile of shit is just wall to wall loud, obnoxious music. There is almost no time to breath before they jump into another long musical sequence. Tim Curry does a good job as he always does but everyone else in it is forgettable and the music is largely unmemorable noise.
I went overboard with my movie hate here but I stand by it. Some movies really make me fawkin’ brood.

It's got some good performances and Susan Sarandon looks like a fucking snack but the songs really don't have any re-listenability, except for the one at the beginning when they're singing about old science fiction movies from the 50s.
The Time Warp song always bugged me as it serves no purpose to the plot. Nobody's going back in time, there's no subtext, and I think it means all the workers are getting fucked up on 70s party drugs and "warping forward" in time? Maybe make that clearer to the audience.
I really think Richard O'Brien wrote a disco song which was trendy at the time, keep in mind this film was released when "do the hustle duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh" was popular and it just feels like a lame attempt to pander to the rubes. Hey do the dance with us, it's just a jump to the left and a step to the right! But hey I guess without that airbnb commercial song the movie would have never gone mainstream.
Great movie that has held up is Midnight Run. Ignore Deniro's current faggotry. Just a really good movie and one of those rated R movies you can watch with the family without cringing.

yea those stoner movies sucked ass when they were new, I couldnt stand to watch them now. 40 year old and superbad had funny parts, but yeah, as a whole, its okay.
I hate Seth Rogan, but observe and report was cool and so was "make a porno". Thats about it, he is a annoying fat kike.

Another one that holds up is Soul Man (not being ironic). The only thing that doesn't hold up is Harvard's total cost for 3 years of law school- 53k. Reminder: He didn't give up. He got down.
Oh yea, also, Office Space.
Again, It has funny parts, and its a overall good movie, butt.
The 1st act is great, then they make the plot about the "superman III" scam, and it gets annoying and unfunny for a long time. jennifer aniston sucks and that speech she gives really kills the mood of the movie as well.

Jesus, I could write a essay about how most movies people like suck balls. film is such a over rated form of art when you think about it.
I don't think for the rest of my life i'll ever sit through anything Star Wars again, old or new. How Disney fuck that up is beyond me.
I like the 1st two movies, but the whole franchise foes to shit after they leave Jubba the Hutt in the 1st act of the 3rd movie.
the 2nd one "Empire" is odd too, it's a fucking sci fi space movie and I think like 85% of the film the actors are in a ship, or that cloud city and it makes it feel like a closed in feeling.
