Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn’t work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there’s so much representation and variety that it’s good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

    Waterworld is a fantastic movie. Creative world-building, unbelievable sets, stunts and performances (Dennis Hoper as an over the top villain? Yes please) I just can’t understand all of the hate it received!

      it was bad for the studio. its production budget ballooned to $175M, total cost $235M. the most expensive movie ever made at the time. it lost money at the box office.

      i enjoyed it.

      May I see your Waterworld and raise you a Poseidon Adventure?

      A lot of fun movies get a bad wrap for being unserious and I fucking hate it.

      I found it quite preachy, but still watchable if you don’t think about it too hard.

      “Oil = bad”. “Smokers = bad”. Hopper aside, the bad guys were as shallow as you can get in character development.

      Plus at 2h15m it was about 45 minutes longer than it should have been, and Kevin Costner is a polarising actor for some due to his lack of charisma.

      All that said, I watched it twice. Once partly to admire Jeanne Tripplehorn’s dress, which should have got a best supporting role.

      I don’t think I’m quite as effusive about it as you, but it was a good movie and I don’t understand the hate either

      I’ll talk all kinds of shit about that movie, but I’ve watched it end to end more times than most movies I’ve seen, and it’s never been a hate watch.
