I think this 80's nostalgia thing has gotten too far. Ruthe Stein, SF Chronicle's "Senior Movie Writer," reviewed the recent "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" and decided that it was a bad movie pretty much because:
The potential was there to make another "Splash," an unforgettable romantic comedy about the mating of two different species.because the director "failed" to fullfill such a potential, she didn't like it.
So, this woman is upset because the director made a slapstick comedy about a breakup between a normal guy and a superwoman, instead of romantic-comedy about a normal guy and a fish.
Those of us in our mid-to-late twenties all grewup in the 80's. I think it wasn't all bad, but we were fed a lot of shit that fucked us up pretty bad. For me, it was "Top Gun," "Wall Street," and "He-Man". I guess for Ruthe, "Splash," was Western Civilisations crowning achievement in history.
No wonder people thinks she is crazy.
