    Is that another cultural icon I have to watch so people don't razz me for being such a boomer? I mean. Usually it's not a bad reason to watch a movie. I watched Tropical Thunder and The Big Lebowski for that reason. They were good movies and after watching I understood the cultural references for never go full retard, and that's like your opinion, man.

    But I've never seen Midnight Cowboy either. Culturally important? Or skip?
    Probably skip. I saw it decades ago and am not looking to watch it again for any reason.

    You’re not alone, I haven’t seen Austin powers and have no desire to. I feel like some of the pop culture will make you dumber. Maybe I’m wrong.

    One I’d like to see but can’t find anywhere is Slingblade.
    If anyone has the dvd and wants to sell it reasonable…
    Now there is a movie I didn't like. Heard all about it at work....was a waste of my time.

    That's why they make all kinds of movies.

    Should have also let you know I didn't really like Tropical Thunder or the Big Lebowski either. I would watch Lebowski before Tropical Thunder.

    If you hit a cyclist in a fog bank while going fast enough you don't actually see them hit the ground, did you actually hit them?

    Asking for my wife who is driving us to Church.

    Just wanna know if I need to pray for her forgiveness and if she should make a quick trip to confession before communion.

    Okay? So Austin Power is another? Apparent culturally important movie? I've never seen. So. I have no idea what you're talking about.


    Know anywhere I can watch it for free? I feel like pop culture shouldn't cost anything.

    Yes, the library. I have rarely paid to see any movie. (Mostly because I hate how left-wing the major studios all are, and try not to give them any money.) Just wait until it comes out on DVD, and then get it from the library for free. Our library (as are most libraries in Indiana) is part of Evergreen, so I can request a movie or book, and if any library anywhere in the system has it, they will ship it to my local library for free for me to check out.

    Not the other side. I don't think that would help. They'd still congregate. But moving it down 50 or so feet gives people riding down the hill more time see them and more time to slow down. You can make it as prohibited as you want. I've never seen anyone patrolling the path. Some people follow the rules and some people just don't.
    Make it clear that people standing in the path assume all liability for any collisions.

    I loved Tropical thunder. It was hilarious. Big Lebowski, meh, it was alright.
    Well thats just like, your opinion, man.

    Austin Powers used to be on netflix. Its got some funny parts in it, but it reminds me of will ferrell, i laugh maybe 3 times during the movie and the rest im thinking “how the **** do people find this funny”.

    Remember the movie blank check, when the kid on the bike gets hit by a car and the driver gives him a $100 check, and the kid forges it to a million?


    Pfffffft. Another fine example of cyclists lack of respect.

    No but I believe it exists because I know how cyclists are.

    Austin Powers is funny, but not Monty Python Funny. And Monty Python is not Bennie Hill funny.

    Better on a first watch if you don't know what is coming, off the wall, jokes were pretty repetitive later on.
    The first time I saw the "Who does #2 work for?" skit I was crying laughing.
