    fun fact, not only is the "Holding out for a Hero" scene #1) the best scene in Shrek 2, #2) one of the best scenes in an animated movie ever, but it is *also* the scene that taught me how to run fun, intense "storming the castle" sequences in D&D that don't get bogged down in combat

    We are watching Footloose (1984) for the first time and Bonnie Tyler’s ‘Holding Out for a Hero’ being used as the soundtrack to a game of tractor chicken is one of the most ridiculous and incredible things I have seen in a movie

    Watching Tetris on the plane. The Japanese cover of "I Need A Hero" is kind of inspiring. Unfortunately the rest of the movie so far is like. Why is this written this way

    Oh God why? The first movie he's revealed to be a "I'm not a 🍇ist" because he lost his daughter and used a TURKEY BASTER and chained up a girl to get his child back. AND THEN IN THE SEQUEL YOU MAKE HIM A HERO?! Just let this franchise die already.
