>>220930665What the fuck are you talking about?
>>220930681He has long covid and just remembered the movie exists.
>>220930681this movie was, in the past, snuffed out of the popular zeitgeistit didn’t get “passed along” from one generation to the next like other similar movies from the era (e.g. ET)
>>220930728Lol nobody remembers ET besides Gen Xers
>>220930728>this movie was, in the past, snuffed out of the popular zeitgeist>it didn’t get “passed along” from one generation to the next like other similar movies from the era (e.g. ET)Like I said, long covid.
>>220930665>DISASSEMBLE>DEADSTEPH-A-NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEE!
>>220930665Amaze amaze amaze
>>220930665The second one is just way more memorable and popular
>>220930665I really liked the 2 johnny 5 movies and I'm shocked there hasn't been some awful reboot in the 2020s.

remember when the smart indian scientist man was a trope and indians weren't widely mocked and hated? If you tried that shit now even indians would hate on it.
>>220930665It's got Daniel Craig and Kate Winslet innit
>>220931075It's just a shame they couldn't find a smart Indian actor to play him
>>220931223At the time it worked fine as a comedy trope. Watching that clip >>220931058 is instant revulsion now. He was an endearing character originally.
>>220930681You old uncs might not know this but Short Circuit has 0 presence outside of people who watched it in 1986.
>>220931384I watched it shortly before Wall-E started being advertised. I had a book about Robots in different pop culture things and that was where I discovered Johnny 5. I think I bugged my parents either to buy the dvd or get it in a Netflix envelope
>>220931379Why revulsion? The worst thing about it is that it looks less like a movie and more like a Super Mario Super Show bit.
>>220931413There's also a sequel.
>>220931461Indians do not deserve to exist.
>>220930665Forgotten. The word you meant to use was forgotten.
>>220931461The accent is no longer “exotic” but obnoxious.
>>220931058>>220931075>>220931379He's not even Indian, he's a white guy pretending to be a pajeet.>>220931384I don't know about the first one but I was born in 91 and all the kids I knew were obsessed with Short Circuit 2. It definitely was well-known in the 90s.
WHATEVER GOD WANTS HE KEEPS
>>220930665Remember the moral of the story anons>The test for sentience is laughing at a joke about jews.
>>220932075Clip? I don't remember the movie that well
>>220932099OK. Listen closely. There's a priest, a minister, and a rabbi. They're out playing golf. They're deciding how much to give to charity. The priest says "We'll draw a circle on the ground, throw the money in the air, and whatever lands inside the circle, we'll give to charity." The minister says "No, we'll draw a circle on the ground, throw the money in the air, and whatever lands outside of the circle, that's what we'll give to charity." The rabbi says "No no no. We'll throw the money way up in the air, and whatever God wants, he keeps!"

>>220930665I was just talking to my roommate about it yesterday because Peter Fisher was in In The Grey, which we were watching.
>>220930728"No disassemble!" is a minor verbal meme that originated from the movie.
I can think of a lot. Batteries Not Included, Flight of the Navigator, Little Monsters, Innerspace. Even people who lived in the 80s seem to forget about these movies.
>>220932167I have never in my life encountered this meme. I think this is a thing that fell by the cultural wayside.
>>220930665Speak for yourself bitch I still like and talk about this movie you stupid faggot
>>220931384I watched it on cable tv, on a school day, while I was sick, in 2nd grade, in 1998. My mom wheeled our small CRT tv into my bedroom, on its little wheeled wooden TV stand, with a sliding cabinet door on the bottom that was filled with VHS tapes and N64 games, and then brought me some homemade chicken noodle soup.
>>220932211I absolutely loved this movie when I was a kid. Those little alien robots were so unbelievably fucking cool.
>>220931038You know with how well Project Hail Mary did I wouldn't be shocked if it got fast tracked it has similar vibes
Did you know there is actually a Short Circuit 3 that continues the lore and is also a PSA about car theft?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6-dJ7N-jgI
>>220930665Dude I love Johnny 5>Need Input!>No Disassemble
>>220930665was Chappie not a remake?
>>220932636A woke POZZED remake that has nothing to do with the original perhaps.>Now with 100% more niggers! that are somehow white for some reason?
>>220932056Yes thats what made it almost acceptable back then. It was comedy.
>>220932489100% Just surprised it didn't come back as a netflix tv show or some shit by now.
>>220932699It would be funny if they had an Indian character doing whiteface I'd actually laugh
>>220930665I've seen that movie about 20 timesI always liked Short Circuit 2: New York City! better though
>>220932887The ending made me tear up as a kid. Both are kino but I probably watched the 2nd 20 times.
>>220932211I remember Flight of the Navigator because I was a big PeeWee's Playhouse fan at the time. My gf who is only a few years younger never heard of it. I think it being a Disney distributed film made it hard to find once it went into "the disney vault"
>>220932887What you liked was actually Toronto
>>220932887>>220932951>New York City>It was filmed in Toronto>They had to throw trash around the sets so people would believe it's NY.
>>220932211there was a short time in Hollywood where this and Cocoon came out and they starred 90 year olds and made a lot of money
>>220932294Comfy wholesome memory anon. I have many like that as well. Except it was the late 80's/ early 90's for me.
>>220932951>>220932986pre pajeet and china canada was kinda ok
>>220931133What happened to making movies about kids like this
>>220932513lmao wtf
>>220931133Wasn't this the first movie that did the whole "Negro in European history is a le hecking moor!" thing?
>>220932513>Short Circuit 3Scripts for the real movie apparently exist, not just the PSA you posted. >That unused footage from the credits of the first movie where Johnny5 is escaping from the car wrecking yard.
>>220930728You can say this about 95% of all movies everZoomers only know about major event movies from YouTube. Gen Xers are still perfectly aware of movies like Short Circuit and their ilk and will probably quote from them, but only to each other, while broccoli heads look on on bemusement
>>220930728It's too adult. If you show it to kids they'll ask about all the sex jokes, if you wait till they're old enough they'll ask you why you're showing them this instead of Terminator
