Second Chance Movies


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

First time I watched "Skyline" I finished thinking "that sucked".

 

Caught it again last night on cable and thought I'd give it a second chance.

 

Still sucked :(

 

But on the flipside, I know there are a fair share of movies I've seen that didn't make as great an impression on me the first time through, but seemed a lot better the second time around.  SWAT was one, also Dune and The Last Starfighter, and the original Night of the Living Dead.

 

What movies have you given second chances?

Too many to count...

A lot of it has to do with how you view things as a kid versus as an adult. The Keaton Batman movies come to mind. Thought they were incredible as a kid, then saw the first never a year ago and couldn't believe Jack Nicholson signed up for it. Still a lot of value just because of the memories, though.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I was told by people that The Village was a stupid, horrible movie. I watched it the first time and felt it was lacking quite a bit. When I re-watched it later, I thought it was a good movie.

I am guessing you are a lot younger than me! But Jack Nicholson was a great joker....i rewatched Batman a couple weeks ago. He was brilliant in that movie....the cheesy henchman with purple and yellow cars, not so much.

I will also make the statement that Jack Joker > Heath Joker

You're not gonna find many takers on that notion.

 

Our old buddy Epistaxis put it well:  "Ledger's Joker was actually The Joker.  Nicholson's Joker was Jack in white face paint.

    • You do, the guy who doesn’t appear to grasp projection.  as the entire board knows, I do in fact, take positions.  The position here I have taken is that Bryce Young is a weak bottom tier starting QB, without NFL starting QB tools, that we must move on from.  
    • The OP for one. Asserting that people blamed Bryce for the loss in the title of the thread. That was not the prevailing sentiment at the time this thread was created. Very much a minority thing, I don’t remember but maybe one person if that, putting it on Bryce as the main reason. Troll thread. Did a good job too. Look at the pages.  Someone counting up the draft picks as 10 on offense and 10 on defense or whatever the number was, today or yesterday - of which the offensive ones were heavily 1s and 2s and the defensive picks were heavily day 3 and declaring that proof that the offense wasn’t favored like people claim. The obvious neglect we watched for two years. I spent time refuting that bullshit because someone needed to.  People saying we are bad horrible people and hate poor lil Bryce for no reason, as if it is a personal thing. Constantly.   Along the same lines is people saying we non Bryce fans would rather lose than have him play well and the team wins. That we are mad when the team wins   Point illustrated.
