"No doubt you will now have changed your opinion of me and wish you'd never met such a weird individual as me."

Um, yeah, pretty much. No offense.

Ok, i asked for it :) Since you are so honest, let me be honest too- im actually offended. No offense. Ive never met someobdy who tells it like it is, so direct. But then im honest about the movies i like, and im not ashamed to admit them :) Yes, i asked for it, but Its actually very shallow to think badly of someone just because of their taste in stuff, in my opinion :). But then everybody is entitled to their opinions of everything , including bad movies. But dont forget, one person's trash is another person's treasure :)

You had some wonderful ideas about making a sequel to the Rescuers, where Penny is all grown up and stuff (that post seems to have gone now, by the way). I thought that would have made a wonderful story too.

"Its actually very shallow to think badly of someone just because of their taste in stuff, in my opinion. No offense :)"

Well I didn't really know what else to say. You went off on this big speech about how you love weird, strange and unusual movies, and then you said you're probably gonna wish you'd never met a strange person like me, you pretty much left yourself open for criticism. There are two kinds, positive and negative, and in life, you will receive both. It doesn't always mean you aren't liked. It's just that not everybody is going to agree with your opinions.

i actually edited the post, where i said:

"OK i asked for it :) But since you are so honest, let me be honest too."

And im PROUD of liking weird stuff, and i accept the fact that you dont. Its just funny that you dont even know me, yet you speak to me as if you've known me all your life. You are usually dead honest with close people, not with someone you dont even know :) Is it just me you are honest with or are you the same with everybody? Im not angry, im saying you should just be careful what you say to whom. Others may not be as accepting as me. But then again, there are even more accpeting people than me. I just treat others the way i want to be treated :)

"Its jus that not everybody is going to agree with your opinions."

You are damn right. But we should all still respect each other, no matter what our opinions. I respect your opinion, even though you may not feel i do. You may not like the movie, but you shouldn't think that people are stupid/ weird for liking something you dont. I respect the fact that not everybody likes the things i do (in fact, the less people who like something i do, the better :))Otherwise, you remind me of some of the girls at high school. Just because some like something that others don't, they automatically label them "weird" or "uncool" . But as i dont know you, for all i know you could still be in high school.

I just think you should respect other people's opinions the way others do.

Alright then. Incidentally, about my Rescuers merchandise, I do believe everybody would buy a Penny doll.

As for Garbage Pail Kids, who had a career after that movie??
The animatronics were terrible and there was no plot. I still don't see how anybody could like this filth. They should've made a Cabbage Patch Kids movie instead.

"By the way, do you know what happened to that thread on the Rescuers?"

Outdated, maybe.

reply

i see. shame really, it was quite an interesting post with interesting ideas. I hate when admins do that, delete threads. Then it depends-if some offensive people came on then its understandable as to why they deleted it

reply

i also liked your ideas about their being more merchandise for the movie the Rescuers, like Penny dolls? The Rescuers was an awesome movie but quite under appreciated.

Shame really.

reply

I like this movie too. So, its bad...so what, I think its a fun movie. Its a childhood classic along with HOWARD THE DUCK.

reply

yes well, some people on this board cant seem to accept people's opinions, they cant think for themselves and end up agreeing with everything you say (eg. me saying that they will have a bad opninion of me now) because honestly, its easier when someone spoonfeeds stuff to you and you dont have to think for yourself. Terrible.

I liked the movie too. :) and if people have a bad opinion of me, i don't *beeping* care. :)

reply

by the way, my previous comment wasn't at you, moviecollector.

reply

I definitely agree with you, Roze. We have a lot in common. I'm a lot like you are when it comes to liking different things and not being into really popular things. I also enjoyed the movie and found it good.

Yay!!:D i love obscure retro movies like that, the less people that know the better. And people who do like them, appreciate them more i guess. My house is filled so much not well known/movies (among popular movies too) like you wouldnt believe. What other movies like this do you like (or any movies really) Warrinnsfuturewife? :)

reply

Like any movie but most action and practically all romance even romantic comedies.
I love horror! Some of my favorite movies are All The Boys Love Mandy Lane, American History X, Party Monster, Stephen King movies, Hangmans Curse, Stephanie Daley, Superbad, Juno, The Girl Next Door, The Tic Code, Highway, Summer Fling, Requiem For A Dream, Donnie Darko, Pretty In Pink, Breakfast Club, Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back, etc.

It's a bad Movie, but I have to admit it has a strange 80s charm to it. The soundtrack ain't bad either (Apart from that hideous 'Working With Each Other' song)
