"Aged like fine milk"
Its supposed to be about wine and how it improves with time. However, especially when discussing old media, I like my version as it can mean its spoiled or turn to cheese, interprite as needed
Example,
The movie "Kung-Pow: Enter the Fist" has aged like fine milk.
Is the movie bad for its dated crappy matrix references or is it peak early 2000s cheese. Vote now on your phones.
I've always interpreted "Aged like milk" to mean something was fine when it was created, but turned to trash over time through no fault of it's own.
My usual example is Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
Kung-Pow is an absurdist camp masterpiece. It won't be defamed and aged like fine milk into a blue cheese. Not for everyone but amazing for those who get it
I agree with you, it has transended spoiled milk product into the finest of aged nacho cheese for your Taco Bell product placement. I needed a polarizing example, it was either Kung-Pow or Napoleon Dynamaite; I tossed a coin.
Both are timeless you heathen.
Kung-Pow: Enter the Fist is pure genius. Yes it's dated for a low budget comedy and for its references. That only adds to its charm.
Now accept Steve Oedekerk as your Lord and Saviour or fight me. ;)
[high-pitched kung-fu noises] My face to your fist style, howda like it?
Pay no attention to Wimp Lo, we purposely trained him wrong... as a joke.
If you age that milk into cheese then yeah. 🤌
The Matrix references are dated but not the Lion King references. Or the 1970's movie it ripped off.
