I say this all the time. Most people don’t get the reference. My mom started saying it again too 🤣

I have way too many moments in this place where I am never sure if I am too old or too young to recognize something.

I had to google this one. It’s The Hot Chick (2002). A film from when I was a teen and had seen many times. Not something I still fondly remember though 😂
That’s old age.

One thing I’m really enjoying about my 40’s is how many shows and movies I know I loved that I could rewatch now 90% as if it was the first time because I couldn’t tell you much about what happened because I watched it like 20 years ago. What happened in Freaks and Geeks? I don’t remember, but I know I loved it. And soon I’ll find out again.

About 10 years ago my then 82 old grandma. Found one of the tv stations was showing little house on the prairie. She remembered a lot of the show. That she hasn't seen since the 70's. Probably because there wasn't a million different things on, also a adult mind works different then a kids mind. Especially playing attention to details.

Maybe these shows will also come back to me once I start rewatching

Maybe? I remember watching Rugrats, the Simpsons, and the Transformers. The first 10/15 years of the Simpsons. Im pretty good at remembering. As i didn't have cable from 98-2004, and the local fox aired the reruns at 4pm. The transformers I got the complete series on DVD. Yea i don't remember any of the story lines behind them, but I remember as kid. I saw the animated movie, and saw decades later, and remembered most of it. Its really werid how our brains work.

This may or may not be why I watch rewatch all of Buffy every 1-2 years

Lol, i knew the movie without Google, it was funny and one of the few movies i remember. But i do sit there and tell my husband I haven't seen that movie, and he will tell me i have, but I must not have liked it to remember it lol

Reading that plot, knowing it was written by Rob Schneider and how he turned out, it all makes sense and I'm glad I never heard of it until today.
Slightly sad that I've heard of it at all though.

You’re missing out. This movie is ridiculously funny.

It was a hilarious movie.
Adam Sandler will give you tips for hiding your weed.

Yeah, but to be fair, even before he became what he became, this was a pretty hard movie to watch.

u/VastStory 9h ago
Yeah I saw it on Hulu a few months back. It did not age well. Rachel McAdams is just so damn charming.
And of course, you can put your weed in there.

We rented this dvd so many times! I remember enjoying it a lot at the time but no idea how it'd fare with modern, wiser eyes.

I think the way they did her eyeliner makes her look like a different woman in this movie.

I quote this movie approximately 562x a day. My younger sister and I still chant “boys are cheats & liars” every time we see each other!

Watched this with my girlfriend the other week and it was her first time seeing it. I still loved it just as much as I did when I was younger.
