    That's what South Park is for (really, they modeled the show after Archie Bunker, since cartoons can get away with more than live-action).

      I don't look at Cartman and think of Archie. I just think of that one "edgy" kid in elementary school who bullied the nerds and probably had a nasty home life.

          I'm sure it will be stupid, but not because it's racist but because it will have been released after 1962.

            The Mummy (1932). Don't remember if I saw it before or not. Fantastic movie. Karloff's best.

              The classic "monster movies" are awesome. So underappreciated nowadays.

              And as far as South Park, it's the general nature of the humor. Can you imagine all of that in live-action? The media would have a field day.

              Edit: and Blazing Saddles proves that rape jokes can be funny.

                  When I was a kid there a number of things I loved to watch that were way before my time:

                  1. Monster movies. Mummy, Frankenstein, Dracula, the Mole... Karloff, Legosi, Chaney, Rains...
                  2. Our Gang, The Marx Brothers, A & C, The Three Stooges, The Bowry Boys, Laurel and Hardy...
                  3. Tarzan. I think Weissmuller was my favorite
                  4. The original Godzilla movies. The very first one is really hard to beat, Destroy All Monsters is one the best from the latter years, Ghidorah might be the best, "vs." from the franchise
                  5. Blondie

                      I never saw Blondie but I watched all of those plus Bugs Bunny and Popeye.

                      TCM has been playing Popeyes on Saturday mornings. They are amazing. Really clever and really funny. It's hard to make comedy stand up over time -- almost all the comic radio shows on TCM are so dated they are terrible. The only exception is Jack Benny who, somehow, is timeless.

                          Aquaman:

                          Saw "Justice League" a while ago, and was impressed that they made Aquaman a DGAF Badarse. So, out of curiosity, watched this. The first 30 minutes or so, pretty cool. After that, a moment here and there, but overall what a bloated pile of steaming sh*. Mainly, the movie could have cut a third of the running time and it would be okay. That's just the start.

                          If you're all into the comics, go for it. But if you're not, or if you're marginal, don't even bother. A mess of a movie.

                            I wont get into it, but Aquaman the film is zero like Aquaman the comics. Liking it or not liking it has zero to do with liking or not liking comic books. Either you like mindless action movies or you dont. (no judgement either way)

                            Aquaman is a late 80s-mid 90s action film nothing more and nothing less. Hell it goes out of its way to point it out throughout the film. The movie is not supposed to be take seriously except to say "holy crap Aquaman just beat the crap out of that guy!"

                              I had asked a comic book fan friend of mine about it, and his response was, "They made Aquaman as badarse as he could be." That was truth. They did. However, the multiple montages, the extended battle scenes, etc...those took away from the movie. If it was a 90 minute job, tight editing, I think it would have been awesome. He comes across like a serious/caring Deadpool. *shrug*

                              Edit: if you're a comic book person, you'll forgive some stuff, and I understand that. I do the same with mafia movies.
