City Slickers. It truly was a product of its time, and by that, a :grillman: impregnating a 20 year old in a one-night-stand behind his wife's back is portrayed as a bad thing because the wife got upset about it. Oh, it doesn't end there, far from it, but that alone has sort of memory-holed it as far as I can tell.
Revenge of the Nerds had

as a plot point, a joke, and a heroic triumph of a protagonist character.
PCU is an astonishingly dated movie but at the same time is almost perfectly a prophetic example of :reddit-logo: style enlightened centrism and predates South Park for expressing the idea of "caring about things is stupid, do weed lol." It also has straw feminists and straw vegans to dunk on, and of fucking course the cryptofascists on campus are presented as only as bad as those loony leftists.
Movies about white ppl becoming teachers in inner city schools where they inspire kids to say no to crime and do school instead.
We've been spending most our lives living in a liberal paradise :cat-vibing:
The modern take is the white teacher whose inner city students inspire them to do crimes
I’d recommend it but tell people to not bother with the last 2 seasons or prepare to be very disappointed.
that movie is burnt into my brain because my hot couch best fried played it on dvd every night to fall asleep to and i lived on his futon for 2 years so i got it full blast every night
Bruh sounds like you were in a clockwork orange or CIA blacksite situation lololol
It hasn't faded from pop cultural memory. I mean I wish it did, but it didn't.
I dunno, I still see quotes from that Nolanesque Randian screed here and there. Baneposting could be culture jammed, but still.
Song of the South is the canonical example. Dumbo too really now I think about it.
Tank Girl or fever dream furries starring ICE-T.
They did kill some pedos though, so that was cool.
Still not seeing the connection, but it's been a long time since I saw Tank Girl.
Overboard.
CW: Rape

A few years ago they did a remake which kinda quietly bombed and pretty much everyone was like:
"Who the fuck thought this was a good idea to green light? The original had already become unwatchable at this point because even as charming as Kurt Russell is it's impossible to see him as anything other than a brainwashing rapist now."
If you have no idea what I'm talking about Google it. Exhibit A of rape culture in Hollywood romance comedies.
There was an old Clint Eastwood movie where

the "hero" drags off a mouthy uppity feeemale and rapes her as a moment that was supposed to somehow be funny and show how cool the rapist is.
Don't know about movies but I can't imagine Game of Thrones holding up very well in the future, I never watched that trash, it is probably one of the things I hate the most right alongside Disney and modern Trek. and I only think of it as the time when they thought incest, boobs and making everything dark and gritty was a good thing and the fucking idiots all clapped.
I hope people in the future will realize how much damage that piece of trash caused, it literally influenced everything and made it all worse.
I remember when GoT was still relatively new and all the hype about it chanted that it "wasn't sunshine and rainbows" and how "mature" it was and how it wasn't "cookie cutter."
Grimdark murderfucking was already a thing in "prestige TV" and all GoT did was expand and prolong the fad.
