It's one of those deals where you have to pick your plot hole. I choose to ignore the one I'd have to pause and use a magnifying glass :/
Well here is my take. The day Helen and Bob got married...the cars looked like the 1954 era.
The body of the story takes place 15 years after they are banned from being supers (not necessarily fifteen years after the marriage). At the 'present' time, their comic universe has a permanent 1962 feel to it, despite the actual year.
When Edna is talking about the dangers of capes, she mentioned the demise of Thunderhead and Stratagirl with the dates April 1957 and November 1958. So I figure the ban had to have taken effect after 1958 at least. Add 15 years. That's why I figure early 70s.
Actually it takes place around 1972.
Yeah that's what it was pretty much. And yeah it was entertaining but my eyes rolled when they said it takes a long time to animate...
I don't remember an apology. I remember Brad and the voice actors giving a bunch of excuses ('It takes a long time to animate a cartoon') - Really????
If I had known what was in store, I definitely would have stayed home. This has none of the style, charm or danger of the original (which was my favorite movie of all time). The trailers cover everything, pretty much. And all the baby superpowers are covered better in the featurette Jackjack Attack. There are several sub plots (some are quite important) that the film never redeems. Constant screaming and yelling over a basic Scooby Doo plot. I will just enjoy the original and pretend this one never happened.
A star wars fan calling people nerds....lmao
The first weekend consisted of Incredibles fans who waited fourteen years for the sequel. Everybody knows better by now.
I only named one car, a '92 Firebird I called Dash. It was totaled and having a name made it even tougher to let go. I also have an old Escalade that my niece named 'Chewie' before I acquired it. My F-RS is called 'Little Guy' (a friend gave it that name). After Dash I have no desire to name cars. I never understood the female name thing. If you want to name your car or your bike or stapler, name it whatever you want loL
I'm okay with it being like the first one. My fear is it will be the cartoon version of Mr. Mom.
Add Howard Stern to that. He loved it so much, he bought the rights to it.
I believe that was a different Iron Man though :}
I arrived at the theater line for the premiere at around 4am with some friends. When the film was over, I realized we waited hours to see the Muppet Movie. It was a product of its time. It seems like the majority of movies, cartoons etc in the 80s were just long toy/merchandise commercials.
It was the Alan Parsons Project. If you dug that, you should seek out some of their albums.
I never considered him ugly.
That's a tough one. Mike is one of the best TV dads. They could have pulled it off if they kept Mike Brady with a different actor and had great writing. Killing him off or leaving the family would be out of the question for a feelgood show like that
True, I was mostly just trying to make the point that Clark wasn't responsible for the outrageous preachiness in this film.
I came here from the IMDB boards. Hard to remember people without the avatars. Perhaps in time, we'll be able to have those here.
A friend showed me this last night and I'm with you. The cool early 70s visuals and that helped me get through it. I think it's the slowest paced film I've ever seen yet I still had a heck of a time trying to keep up.
Clark didn't write Porkys II but I agree with what you and Jon are saying. The thing with Schwartz in the first one was done tactfully but they just shoved it down our throats in this one.
