I'm sure he just means like the stereotypical "80's" things. Not like "no good movies were made between 1980 and 1989"

 

yep

 

I look forward to when we get past 80's nostalgia.

 

Tbh, movies are bad, who’s with me

 

I'm more itching to get passed 90s nostalgia tbh

 

The Ready Player One/Stranger Things type nostalgia culture is off putting

 

I should be off putting, I’m gaining too much weight lately.

 

I don’t generally care for the concept of guilty pleasures, but the first Breaking Dawn almost qualifies. That book doesn’t have enough plot for a short, let alone TWO movies, so Bill Condon really stretches it out overdramatizing every little thing and putting in unnecessary visual flourishes and it kinda makes for an enjoyably goofy watch.

 

80s movies, specifically horror and sex comedies, are in fact good

 

I didn’t grow up with a lot of them and watched a bunch as I got older. Movies like Ghostbusters, Ferris Bueller, The Karate Kid, etc. are alright, but I guess I’d like them a lot more if they were from my era.
@OhTheWater horror is the exception, horror is timeless haha

 

I demand an answer as to what your username was on AP.

 

If anything the weirder users are the ones who weren’t on AP. How does one just come across Chorus these days

 

Never cared for the Ghostbusters movies

 

You were on AP?

 

Like anything, 80s movies vary. Ghostbusters and Airplane! and The Breakfast Club are great. Flashdance and Footloose are really enjoyable as entertainment you don't overthink. The Karate Kid is good for some empty-calorie nostalgia. And then Porky's sucks.

 

A lot of 80s movies are shockingly awful. I can throw my hat in the ring for that line of thinking

 

Revenge of the Nerds is the one I saw and genuinely wondered how anyone liked it

 

Technically late '70s, but if you like '80s sex comedies but wish they leaned less mean-spirited, Meatballs is a very likeable one.

 

Sonny I was on AP well before you ever came out of whatever weird little internet hole you crawled out from

 

A lot of (any decade) movies are shockingly awful, haha

 

The 60s and 80s are only annoying in how much certain kinds of people jerk them off as the zenith of pop culture or whatever. I guess 90s kids do the same, but that’s usually specifically just about “kid” things, not culture generally

 

yeah we had Eurotrip and The Hangover we're no better

 

really excited for 2000s nostalgia when they have to play Linkin Park in a movie about the Iraq War

 

I have no idea how I found AP but I'm pretty sure it was linked to me by someone dunking on a shitty take I had when I was 12 lol
