    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

I can see why people would leave Cast Away. I personally absolutely love that movie but it's hard to watch if you're impatient or squeamish.

It's not like I'm overly impatient, I'm a bit older than the people say nothing happens in the Godfather, but it was a slog.

What does that even mean, Petah?

Cast away is an amazing movie and Tom Hanks was fantastic in that. Not sure how you walk out. I've watched it numerous times it's that good.

Imagine you're already terrified of the dentist, and then the ice skate dentistry scene comes up. Yeah, I can definitely see peoe walking out because of that scene.

Who bought a ticket to Spice World and didn’t get exactly what they were expecting?

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.social 2 points 7 months ago

You mean it's not a history of the British Colonialist Empire?

[–] John_McMurray@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

You ask this like the answer wasn't given already.

Spice World is a masterpiece that was ahead of its time

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 1 points 7 months ago

I would like to know more

[–] Trae@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I've got a special place in my heart for Spice World. The VHS tape wasn't the usual black color it was a lime green color. My little sisters watched it repeatedly.

We all went to see it because we thought it would be campy fun like the Adam West batman show, but it was just bad.
