I remember going to see it in summer 95 as a kid and it was pretty average.
Was Casper supposed to be a dead kid in the cartoon?
I found the part where he reveals, in detail, his past as a young boy dying and his father desperately trying to save him, particularly depressing for a summer kids movie. James Horner's haunting piano theme that plays during these scenes just makes it worse.
That makes sense about Columbia. That studio was always taking chances on more challenging scripts that the others were too scared to tackle.

Harvey Weinstein had his fat fingers in every pie in hollywood. Guy controlled that industry. He may not have been a movie star but he ran movies and made actor's careers. This is about taking down people in power.
Cosby was ratted out by Hannibal Buress, one of his own. He only started getting media and legal scrutiny after Buress did a whole act based on Cosby being rapey.
Diddy has obviously made a lot of enemies over the years who want to see him go down. He is one of the most powerful moguls in entertainment.
This is all about revenge, imo.
Go on social media platforms like twitter/x and there's millions of them saying this same type of stuff everyday.
Danny Masterson is doing life in prison based on circumstantial metoo evidence. As is Harvey Weinstein.
Cosby and the rest of that motley crew all fall under the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell umbrella. This is about power, not race.
I would've liked to have seen the Stoltz version of this movie. He took a more serious approach to the character of Marty and to the film because he felt that's what suited it, and he may have been right.
For example, there's some inconsistencies in the tone ie take the character of Biff, who was just supposed to be a tough guy, then he suddenly becomes a violent rapist all of a sudden in the car? Then you have the mother coming onto her yet unborn son. This is not family friendly material, no matter what way you spin it.
I googled the name because I haven't heard of this. What excuse did he use for tazering a 95 year old? What an absolute wuss.
Molly would've played Sloane Peterson, Ferris's girlfriend, the part that went to Mia Sara (a good actress who did well in the movie).
Anthony Michael Hall was supposed to play Ferris, but he, like Molly Ringwald, had a falling out with Hughes because they didn't want to be typecast as teen 'brat pack' actors and thus they refused to be in the movie when Hughes told them that he had written their characters specifically for them to play them.
It's all serendipitous because I think Matthew Broderick & Mia Sara were better suited to the movie, and I think it works better when film makers use different actors in their films instead of the same ones all the time. Ferris Bueller's Day Off would've been just a Weird Science/Breakfast Club reunion with Hall & Ringwald aboard, but it became it's own movie with a new cast.
Well, yeah. A normal parent doesn't want their kids growing up in a leftist culture that hates them while importing all the garbage from the third world in a bid to supplant them.
I never said that Jesus looked "anglo saxon". I said he looked like the way he's depicted in western culture, which can vary in different places but he does not have blonde hair and Nordic features on every painting and statue. 2000 years ago you did find people that looked like Jesus (white) in Israel. He was not black or brown as all the insufferable minorities keep telling us.
The problem with you low IQ Americans is that you think whites can only be "Anglo Saxon". That is an archaic term used by British & German immigrants in America to differentiate themselves from the Irish, Slavs, Jews & Italians who arrived with them, whom they saw as beneath them. Since then, you morons think that the definition of a white is now just "Anglo Saxon". No, that's not true. South Europeans, Slavs, Jews and Irish are white, too.
You know what I find interesting about this site? So many of you insufferable, anti-social rejects who post on here make me feel intelligent.
Anyway, another fucking idiot to add to my ignore list. Sayonara, shitstain.
The writer's wish fulfilment, I'm guessing.
Ironically, in real life it's always the other way around with ugly non-white guys falling over themselves to be around pretty white women.
Great choice. Guys like Jimmy Kimmel are insufferable.
I find them to be both pretty equal.
<blockquote>We don't need any more evolution here. We already got the best."</blockquote>
You don't even need to take this woman's word for it. The majority of non-white men in the west who gain access to money and status will invariably go for white women, trampling over their own race's women to get to them.
Ironically, white women are a tiny minority compared to all the non-white women in the world. Technically they are minority winners. Maybe they should have a contest for women from each continent to stop butthurt?
They are portrayed as particularly evil in this. They cast a lot of good actors who played their characters with that traditional english movie villain demeanour/accent caricature, especially King Edward, the Magistrate and the executioner.
Gibson's other period war movie, The Patriot, was even more heavy handed in showing the english as 2D bad guys to the point of being cartoonish. Braveheart wasn't as bad compared to that.
I remember Gibson getting a lot of heat from the English press for being a bit of an Anglophobe, which there is some truth to owing to his irish ancestry, but he didn't write Braveheart.
<blockquote>And comments like yours are why fanboys are a plague, defending all kinds of fucked up decisions by someone/a company through blind praise without any critical thought whatsoever. </blockquote>
Thank you.
Lucas nut huggers are the worst. What he did to the theatrical cuts is unforgivable. He literally butchered so many scenes.
41 million in America and 121 million worldwide is not too shabby. But maybe audiences were a bit tired of Rocky movies by then?
Mel has Scottish ancestry. That's what attracted him to the part.
Are you in North America? The rat drowning scene has always been banned in the UK. The censors just have never been convinced that the rat wasn't suffering when it was submerged and thus it's never been featured in any theatrical or home release.
<blockquote>That liquid they used is a coolant called Fluorinert. I worked at a company once that used that to test the waterproofing of optical transceivers by submerging them in it.</blockquote>
That's interesting. I'm sure many viewers watching the Abyss thought that it was real breathing liquid being used.
<blockquote>Whatever minor gains they might achieve with minorities are more than offset by the loss of White support. </blockquote>
They'll always have that support from white audiences. Who do you think goes to watch all those shitty jordan peele movies? The Acolyte failed because they loaded the cast with all diversity when in reality you still need token whites in there as that's the main audience.
Forced diversity was originally done to appease minorities who complained bitterly when someone who looked like them wasn't onscreen. Nowadays it's simply about being provocative. They know that they put tokens into films where they don't belong, it's the whole purpose.
