"California...California..."

So I watched this awesome movie just now:

No love without the PowerGlove
For you '80s babies, you might remember this movie from your youth. I certainly did cause I thought it was one of the best movies ever growing up.
Of course now, I realize it was nothing but a marketing ploy for Nintendo. But whatever...any movie that has the superior thespian skills of Kevin Arnold is good with me.
Among the highlights of the film:
-that kid that only said, "California...California..." I remember when I was in California and I saw those dinosaurs. I felt like I was part of the movie
-when the oh-so-cool Lukas brought out the PowerGlove in a metal container (!). Then he proceeded to use it. Afterwards, he says, "I love the PowerGlove." Which prompted Kevin Arnold to say the spectacular line, as he put his arm around the white trash girl: "Well as long as you don't put your PowerGlove on her." Awesome, simply awesome
-the white trash girl screaming in the Casino "HE TOUCHED MY BREASTS!!!" which got the attention of the security guards and hauled the bounty hunter (!) away
-a Black Trucker named Spankey
-a retarded kid that is exceptional at video games, finding "secret passages" in a game that has never been played before to that point (Super Mario Bros. 3). Obviously realism is not a big selling point in this movie. Then again, I may be retarded to actual be looking for realism in a movie like this
So after not watching it for like 15 years, it was a blast from the past.
I'm old.
