As a kid, I couldn't believe how funny Wild Wild West is

It did not hold up well.

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago

I think it did.

But I grew up watching the TV show, and others like it (Get Smart), and appreciate the style of humor.

I think the divide on this is knowing what that genre is about, and some people just don't appreciate that kind of humor.

I get it, I like these movies/shows, but don't like the 3 Stooges.

I still think the movie slaps

So I just watched it for the first time earlier this year and honestly it wasn't bad. It's cheesy (and by most measures not a great film), but it was genuinely fun to watch.

Eh, I never saw it as a kid, and I watched it recently... imo it's a decent action flick. It barely makes sense in more than one way but I still enjoyed the ride

Me too! I saw it in theaters and cracked up the whole time. Haven’t watched it again since then, but I did listen to an interview with the director who essentially disowned the movie. He said something to the effect of: “the couple of moments that were cute were not worth the overall quality of the film.” He said Klein and Smith had no chemistry. He also basically confirmed the Will Smith MIB fart rumor in the same interview.

Say what now?

Will Smith is a farter... he’s, you know, a lovely guy. Just, he farts. Some do, some don’t.

I like that this director thinks that there are some people wired different to just never fart. But with that being said, I kind of get where he's coming from. One of my brothers has no problem letting farts rip. One of his crowning achievements was making a pregnant lady puke when she walked into his office after he had been hot boxing it for a few hours.

As a fabled never farter I can confirm, I simply do not fart outside of during bowel movements.

I'm trying to convince my kids that "dads don't fart" because that will be hilarious when they learn the truth
