I assume the theater saw an animated movie and immediately thought "movie for kids." Anime was not a thing yet. I doubt the 70 year old owner had the internet.

neutral · AI labelView post →#letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched 1) Kirk's lousy attempt at doing a romantic comedy film; 2) Kirk's underrated war drama about the inner struggles of three soldiers in executing an enemy soldier; 3) Debbie Reynolds as an actress who adopts six runaway kids; and 4) the sequel film to Flubber.

This time, it focuses on the new gravity-busting substance called by Prof. Brainard as "Flubbergas."
neutral · AI labelView post →Flubber is genuinely a fucking insane movie
positive · AI labelView post →Thinking about how in the 1997 movie Flubber they sold the formula and rights for Flubber to the Ford Motor Company. Ford holds multiple contracts with the US military. In their timeline Flubber was probably jiggling it’s fat ass around in Iraq dancing and killing Al-Qaeda members.

negative · AI labelView post →The Robin Williams version of “Flubber.” I watched it so many times as a kid, it’ll always have a special place in my heart even though it’s not very good

Prof. Brainard uses a by-product of Flubber to create Flubber Gas which causes "Dry Rain". Same crazy hilarity as the first film.

neutral · AI labelView post →It makes me sad how big corpos have corrupted the idea of “Artificial Intelligence“ with their greedy and inhumane use of resources to power them. My childhood dreams of AI have basically been ruined… thank you I guess 😔 I just wanted my own little cute Weebo… thats all 😩 (from the movie Flubber)
neutral · AI labelView post →Unlike in “The Absent-Minded Professor,” the remake’s titular Flubber is sentient, self-aware, and references human culture, turning the movie into essentially a pro-slavery narrative.
negative · AI labelView post →[Flubber 1997](https://youtu.be/LTGBwT7U3EM) Not because it was such a memorably great trailer, but just because it was so misleading. I don't want to watch that shitty movie all over again just to verify my claims but what I recall was, there were entire scenes or shots in the trailer that weren't in the movie at all, and they were kind of the best bits. I definitely expected a lot more crazy hijinks and time spent in the flying car with sentient mischievous green goo then what I remember…
negative · AI labelView post →hey how do you feel about the movie Flubber
neutral · AI labelView post →Today's morning movie will be an old Disney film! I hadn't realized the 90s Flubber film was a remake until today so I'm watching #theabsentmindedprofessor it was based on! #filmsky #olddisney #letterboxd #movies #whatfaewatched
