Look, I'm a tail-end Gen Xer, so I was at that sweet spot when this film came out.
3:02
I had watched the TV show, and when this came out, I was very excited for it.
3:08
But this was a span of time when they were doing this.
3:11
They did G.I. Joe, the movie.

cornerstone.

Yeah, I was excited about this film when it was first released.
5:04
I mean, we're in high school.
5:07
This is like a junior in high school, but by this time, I've really started consuming films.

I loved Terminator quite a bit.

Tell us what you are into with MK2.

I brought my roll of quarters with me, and let's just say that I'm a huge fan of the 1990... 1993, 92, uh, four, uh, the five, excuse me, 1995 version of mortal combat.
2:36
I still think that's one of the best video game adaptation films to date because they basically went ahead and took the exact thing you wanted from the game and made a live action version of it.

They didn't get too complicated really with it till kind of the end.

They got a little funny, but that was because of producers.
