As on the money as he often was, Siskel carried himself with something of an elitist air at times, while Ebert was very much the common man’s critic. It wasn’t the first time the two had clashed over a film. Siskel instead saw The Karate Kid as a trite and predictable kids movie that deserved nothing of the sort. Arriving at a time when violent martial arts movies were all the rage and every kid on the block had aspirations of becoming a ninja, The Karate Kid was one of the surprise hits of 1984, much to the dismay of high-profile critic Gene Siskel, who scoffed at fellow At the Movies host Roger Ebert’s predication that the film was indeed Oscar worthy thanks to one of the most iconic and endearing performances of the decade. Of all those movies, the one that spoke to me loudest was designed as a much more humble outing. The teen adventure genre, and the modern fancies that propelled it, had suddenly come of age. Blockbuster movies such as Joe Dante’s Gremlins, Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future and Richard Donner’s The Goonies, all of which carried Spielberg’s inimitable ‘kids in peril’ thumbprint, spoke to young audiences on a level that was less condescending than previous decades, understanding adolescence rather than talking down to it. Fun-filled musicals and quaint fantasy/adventure films were replaced by awe-inducing extra-terrestrials, a plethora of booby trap gadgets and characters who were much more dysfunctional and relatable. Kids movies evolved rather dramatically during the Spielberg 80s, the rise of practical effects putting spells on our imaginations like never before. While such a mindboggling existence is no doubt an exciting prospect for Generation Z, those of us weaned on a bubble gum diet of BMX adventures generally got their inspiration from movies of the more traditional variety. With the rapid decline of theatres, it’s easy to imagine a future in which movies don’t exist in the traditional sense, a future in which we literally become the stars of our own movies, where actors are replaced entirely by avatars. They were fun for a while, but their primitive nature always left me wanting more, imagination, creativity and the prospect of physical exploration eventually winning out. When I was a kid, I’d get bored of video games much more quickly. Today, kids lose themselves for months on end in gaming experiences that are so close to reality they trump pretty much anything the imagination can conjure, making them the stars of their very own movies. With Sony Walkmans and home video consoles, modern fancies were already pushing us towards a more insular existence, but immersive environments such as the internet, iPhones and online gaming were still decades away. There was a certain innocence to the 1980s that will never be recaptured. Avildsen’s low-key smash, a movie that punched above its weight and then some If ever a strain was made for the night, it is this one, since light of any kind will become your mortal enemy.Finding balance with John G. My eyes became almost painfully red and irritated, and my vision was reduced to a smudge as my eyes drooped. So in the end, only one question remains: is this “Mr. There was some serious space lock, and I’d suggest it for insomnia at even moderate doses. It also provides that classic OG comforting sense of wellbeing. ![]() Kicks like a mule to the forehead with a big dab, generating heavy eyes and weighty shoulders and limbs. It was sold to me as an indica, and my reaction to it supports this claim. From the given effects, I’d presume an OG. The grow boards weren’t helpful in identifying the genetics, so I was on my own in identifying its lineage. Toffee? Butterscotch? Buttered Rum? It certainly had the profile of something you’d suck on. The scent had an earthy, spiced quality with some sweetness to it as well. When I vaped it on my domeless, it left a residue on my nail and set me to coughing a few times, making me question its purity. Compared to other waxes I’ve reviewed recently, this one just wasn’t as appealing. The wax was a mustard yellow that did glitter some under the lights. After the internet took the air out of my balloon, the business at hand became to prove whether this product deserved that term. ![]() Miyagi is a racially charged name for eye squinting weed. I was going to start this review off with some clever line about wax on wax off, relishing in my chance to use a pun. ![]()
