In fact I thought "segue" was pronounced "seyg" and was an entirely different word from "segway" to be used in a similar but slightly different context. As in "the interviewer and the subject were able to segue (pronounced seyg) from topic to topic with great ease". Totally random digression but it has been haunting me ever since. @ odo19

I respect the slow and steady apect of his films that I have seen. frankbooth – I respect your opinion, you are after all ‘telling it like It Is’, and while I was talking about colour, I should have mentioned the scene that spoke out to me in unfogiven would be the yellow green of the ground against the blue sky in the scene where morgan freeman and the younger guy talk about his needing glasses, I thought it was done excellently, not to mention the scenes of the little weasel writer in the jail, or the rainy town with freeman’s character lynched.

And really, what's wrong with that? It's not my thing, but it's their thing. I'm sure people who came up in the sixties and seventies never thought that anyone would ever be nostalgic for the cheesy eighties action movie. But here we are. Most of the trends that "ruined" cinema seem fairly inconsequential with enough hindsight. Even Vern recanted his "the eighties are the worst decade ever" stance. The world keeps turning. Movies keep being made. Most of them suck. That's just the way it is.

Why the change in heart? Maybe it was the lowered expectations, maybe it was that I watched in at 2 in the morning, or maybe it was nostalgia. I'm leaning towards the latter. It's funny though because movies I thought were crap as a kid I now love as an adult just for the cheese factor. Take No Retreat, No Surrender. When you're 10, it's just a shitty kickboxing movie. But as an adult, it's a great time capsule of Jerhi Curls and acid washed jeans. You know it's awful, but any movie that can blatantly rip off Rocky 4, Breakin', any given After School Special, and Bruce Lee Fights Back from the Grave is something special in my book.

Jack Burton - So? I liked alot of those movies you listed too, yet apparently I'm too high brow for dismissing RAMBO 2/3 and THE ROOKIE. Just wait until kids today grow up and whine that everything was fucking good made in "good ole days" with Bay and BOURNE and all that jazz. Because hey it hit a happy button for them. Just wait.

Something about eighties action just pushes the happy button in my brain. Whether the movies are good or bad, it's a Pavlovian reaction that's beyond critical thought. Jack: I’m with you.
