What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

[fishonjazz]

I've been introducing the National Lampoon Vacation to my kids, 11 and 6 .... Still hold up very well and are substantially more edgy than I remember.

Ranked so far.

1. Christmas Vacation
2. Vacation
3. Vegas Vacation
4. The Ed Helms vacation one from a few years back
5. European Vacation

I agree European one sucks the most.
My favorite is the Wally world one. (I think you called it simply "vacation")
OMG I jerked it so much to Christi Brinkley in that hotel pool scene.

Metropolis(fully restored version) was on TCM, what a wild ride. Visually stunning for when it was made, just the scope of it is insane. Yeah there is a lot of silliness but you can overlook that when it's so far ahead of it's time. Inspired countless movies.

my college gf looked like Christie Brinkley. In fact her name was Christie. Graduated with like a 3.85. We fought too much doe and I broke up with her going into our last year.

I haven't seen the Ed Helms one, but the rest are perfectly ranked. European Vacation remains the only movie I walked out of the theater on because it was so bad. The only other one I remember walking out of was David Lynch's Dune, and that's because I was sick - I ended up vomiting in the hallway, couldn't even make it to the bathroom.

They did a Christmas Vacation 2 with just Cousin Eddie and his family. I haven't bothered watching that one.

It's not good but it does have its funny moments. It was better than I expected, but I expected nothing.

Honest question, how does Ed Helms get work? Nothing about the dumbass is funny.

Does he still get work? He was ok on the first few seasons of the office. When he became a main character he quickly started sucking though. I can't think of anything he's been in since Hangovers and Vacation though.

Quite a few things. That one where he has to go with his family in a Winnebago to Mexico or somewhere. Drugs were involved. I think he was in that movie Grand Rapids a while back. TAG which was way better than I expected.

Just looked at his IMDB. He's still in things but nothing that major since Vacation in 2015. He's fallen off quite a bit and for good reason as I agree he's a dummy.

Watched Good Boys on HBO last night. Extremely mediocre. Had solid reviews but was just Superbad redone with 12 year olds instead. But done poorly.

Yeah, definitely not going to give Charlie Chaplin or Woody Allen or Mel Brooks a run for their money - but I found it entertaining.

I found the message to be useful - no matter how much PC nonsense or overprotective rules or helicopter parenting you drill into kids these days - boys will still be boys.

And it helped that the kids were likeable.

Finally watched "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."

Yes it was a bit indulgent but I didn't care - still enjoyed it a lot. And I found the ending cathartic. I'm beyond sick of the glorification of Manson.

Thays funny, because my wife and I thought all 3 kids were selfish little dicks.
