Tenacious_Peaches Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I'll see it. I've been dying for him to be funny again for 15 years. Of course, I'm also contemplating skipping Christmas morning to go see "Rocky 6", so take that however you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 The fact that he has not been funny for 15 years does not bode well for this movie. Rocky 6? Really? Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Come on, give him some credit. Aren't you stuck in the 80's anyway? I'm not actually going to see it Christmas morning, d.a. The next day, however, it's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I tried to give him credit through Holy Man, Pluto Nash, Daddy Day Care, and the Disneyworld ride movie that wasn't Pirates of the Carribean. There are only 2 reasons I'll attempt to give him any more credit: a) You exploited my love of the greatest decade in history, and the thought of Eddie in the blue leather suit he wore in Raw clouds my judgement. Have at it, slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronson Pinchot would be a great return to this as well. The fact that he has not been funny for 15 years does not bode well for this movie. Daddy day care was.. er.. alright. Nothing tops his Bev. Cop role though. And two was bad and three simply stunk! Rocky 6? Really? Wow. Rocky 6? I don't think this one will do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 and the Disneyworld ride movie that wasn't Pirates of the Carribean. Haunted Mansion wasn't so bad, really. It was just unfortunate to come after POTC, so expectations for another great ride movie were high. It didn't come close to meeting those expectations, but it's a decent movie in its own right. Plus, POTC and Haunted Mansion are my two favorite rides in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 That ride would be so much more enjoyable if we were given BB guns before the ride began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Everytime Disney features a movie based theme roller-coaster, it's the same ride they used the last time. They just tear down the background & replace it with new panels to match the movie descripted & then paint the cable cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Well the movie rides- Snow White's Scary Adventure, Peter Pan's Flight, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, etc.- are generally geared toward little kids. If the sets are pretty enough, it works. Personally, I like them too, just because it amazes me how many dark elements are in the rides in the "Happiest Place on Earth". The only rides where there are none are Dumbo and the Carousel (Small World is a point of view, personally I think it's the scariest ride in the park). To me, that's what makes Disneyland great. Little kids can enjoy it, and twisted teenagers like myself can enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
