Twister (1996.) is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen and I loved every second of it.
I love to throw on background movies while I do gradschool work and ended up putting on Twister this morning. I hadn't seen Twister for about 20 years. So much to talk about.Highlights:-The practical effects are fantastic! So many impressive practical sets, from the house collapsing, to the garage at the drive in theater- seeing sets collapse and fall apart with the wind made the action scenes in this movie seem so punched up.-The adrenaline junkie on their team,-The rivalry with the guys in the black cars. Just pure fun- and then they stupidly get sucked into the final boss, er, tornado-"We Got Cows"-Pretty much everything else. The writing is laughable, no chemistry between Jo and Bill (i know there's backstage drama.)-Jo's obsession's with tornados. It is hilariously unhealthy.-The Dorothy and vehicle keeps getting knocked over and destroyed in every tornado encounter just to somehow be fixed up again/replaced. Who's funding all of this?-The van driving through the house blown in front of them.-Quickly dismantling, what I can assume to be, hundreds of pepsi cans and then reforming them to be pinwheels on the balls in Dorothy.-Sacrificing the Vehicle and Dorothy to the final tornado, kissing, running to a torture barn, and then finally strapping themselves to the anchored pipes.-Drive in tornado is by far the best tornado. Then the sister tornado. Then the final tornado. Then the first tornado, then lastly the tornado that goes in and out.I found myself laughing through the whole thing. Anyone have any thoughts on this iconic blockbuster? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3fBaUdA
