"Pretty in Pink is awful. Rich @$$hole who won’t listen to the girl he’s dating vs the nice guy friend who thinks he’s owed affection. Characters can be terrible and annoying, but the whole movie just has me cringing and hurting for the protaganist the whole time.
In all reality, the rest of the movie was pretty good. I just didn’t like two of the central characters. No big deal"
every...single...movie Costner has been the lead in, is an ego vehicle for him. Dances with Wolves started it when an entire Sioux tribe fell in love with him and in Waterworld he was the mysterious and alluring 'sailor' where men wanted to be him, and all females loved him. He's so self absorbed, I can hardly stand the sight and sound of him.

Qui Gon Jinn. he was dull, lack luster and monotone. Liam Neeson is 6 ft 4 he's huge. he looked awkward, off balance, bored and out of place the whole damn time. the movie didn't need him. Ewan McGregor would have been enough and was definitely the better character. natalie portman and Sam jackson were so busy having perfect elocution while trying to look stately and noble, that they were wooden and one dimensional. the kid was a walking headache brought on by sugar shock, and Jar Jar was the single greatest culmination of bad ideas and stupid cliches that only showed us how terrible Lucas is at making films, surrounded by yes men and women, and generally confused by his own creation. that movie was just plain awful. "Exsqueeeze me!"
It says a lot about Diaz and Decaprio when they can keep me away from a Daniel Day Lewis performance like Bill the Butcher. I can't do it. Just can't. They are just that bad.
If you have that little control over your thoughs and memories I feel very sorry for you. Why would you let anything disrupt a "special" memory or feeling. Maybe it's not the content that changed but you. It sounds like you lost that child innocence and wonder like almost all adults do. They where making the movies you loved as a kid for the same reason, a cash grab.
Example: The original star wars trilogy was my trilogy as a very young child. The prequil trilogy is not for me but my daughter loved it. The new trilogy, also not really my thing but my teenage son loves it. Their experience doesn't inform mine, I just enjoy watching them discover something in the same cinematic world as something I love. It's certainly better than watching reruns of paw patrol.
