    It’s a favorite campy classic of mine. I love bad movies.

    I also think it’s one of those films with a great idea but terrible execution that could be remade.

    I want to see a remake where Cherry 2000 actually has agency and consciousness and at the end of the film the two women run away together leaving the creepy guy behind.

    I always thought a remake could have Chris Elliott as the creepy guy and he would kill it in such a role.

      I’m surprised i haven’t seen anyone talk about another movie, AI

      One of the main characters is Gigolo Joe played by judge law

        Probably because it wasn’t super well received by audiences and kind of got forgotten by a lot of folks.

        It only holds a 64% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s definitely not hated but it’s not a deeply well liked film.

        I certainly had forgotten about Jude Law as Gigolo Joe.

          It wasn’t well received because of the changes Spielberg finishing it had on the project.

          There’s like 3 or 4 points where the movie should never ended but Spielberg doesn’t do those types of movies
