Mark says:
of course it was terrible if you only saw it 4 months ago! Unless you saw it when it first came out and grew up on it, then you will never understand the importance and impact of this movie! there are loads of movies that if you saw them for the first time now, you would think were a load of shite, but when they first came out were amazing! Alien, American Pie, scream, to name a few that come to mind… but at the time were big hits!

@ No Deal: “I’ll tell you what. Why don’t we take all these bricks and build a shelter for the homeless, so maybe your mother will have a place to stay.”
I found myself explaining who Tribe Called Quest was to my little cousin the other day. We’re getting old my friends.

rootsradical says:
did you seriously just refer to this movie as terrible?
do you also prefer nas’ new stuff and think that jay-z finally hit his mark with “kingdom come”?
is “friday after next” your favourite of the three? did you like “Carlito’s Way: Rise To Power” more than the original because Puffy was in it? “Until The End of Time” is your favourite 2Pac album?

No question. White Men Can’t Jump is a classic.
Just on the strength of peeping Rosie Perez’s (at the time) fine self naked.
