Until the season finale, National Treasure: Edge of History is my entire personality. I am not taking criticism at this time.

I'm sorry!

I’m really glad I grew up in the age of Pirates of the Caribbean, The Mummy, and National Treasure because they just don’t make movies like that anymore.

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely

Or just go to browse and hang out! I promise it will be inspiring :)

Can you just do me a favour and block me if you don't like the Fast & Furious franchise, because it really pisses me off when I see someone shit talking it. I like the movies. I don't care that 9 was ridiculous. I like all of them. And I'll like Fast X as well. I don't care that you think they should have stopped at 7. They make me happy.

Look, all I’m saying is that they really just don’t make movies like National Treasure anymore. Like this movie is about two dudes in a van who beat a team of highly trained criminals to stealing a valuable document from a high-security museum, by sheer accident get an antiques expert to come along with them to keep the document safe, get involved in several major chase scenes, escape the FBI twice, find a massive treasure, get someone else arrested for their crimes, and then give the treasure back to museums before yeeting out to do it all over again in the sequel. No one was doing it like them. And the thing is, by all accounts, this plot is ridiculous and the dialogue is ridiculous but it works unbelievably well because the writers and actors committed to the bit. This movie is campy and absurd and it’s also one of the most fun and quotable movies of my early childhood because the creators embraced the camp and did it with such a sincerity that it’s a goshdarn delight to watch. Top all of that off with a soundtrack that went WAY harder than it really needed to, excellent atmosphere throughout the whole film, and visuals that were darn near perfect and National Treasure becomes a classic. I’ve been chasing the high I got the first time I watched it my whole life. What a movie.

On first read, I thought the tone was “and that’s why it’s awesome”

[zerosuitsammi3]

Not the tone the writer intended but nonetheless the correct tone to read it in

Watching Fast and the Furious for the First Time Ever

-They're heisting chunky panasonic tvs? Man the stakes were different back then.

-2001 LA is where they beat the shit out of you for ordering a sandwich. I mean I feel like if you're a grown man ordering tuna on no crust it's not completely uncalled for.

-"WHAT IS WITH THIS FOOL. HE'S SANDWICH CRAZY"

-LIMP BIZKIT?

-Oh okay so Paul Walker is the D'Artagnan of the story

-oh noooo he's a cop or he's being used by the cops or whatever

-THEY'RE CALLING THE BIG RACING TOURNAMENT RACE WARS?? RACE WARS???????

-THEY KEEP SAYING RACE WARS.

-I don't think they've filmed a woman without a slooooow pan up the body yet.

-"I watched my dad burn to death" DUDE YOU PUT NITROUS UNDERNEATH YOUR COPILOT SEAT????

-Diversity win? The dude who used the f-slur less than five minutes into this movie is now wearing a mesh tank top.

-WELCOME TO RACE WARS.

-the dialogue: "I can't believe you've been undercover! I can't believe you betrayed us!" the soundtrack: UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE

-Honestly surprised mesh shirt guy didn't die there. Fuckin' mad max trucker...

-"We raced again and we nearly got hit by that train but we didn't get hit by the train but then I hit that truck and nearly died but anyways we're FAMILY now."

-Conclusion: This has honestly piqued my curiosity as to how the movies are going to get more and more over the top. It's fascinating. It's like there's an engine where the brain's supposed to be.
