Ernest is lame. March 30th, Entry #65.

Sara: This morning I had coffee with C-dub and Chelsea.  It's always delightful to sit down with other YMs and just talk shop, just sit down with people who get you and what you do.  Anyways, that is not the point this time.

We got talking about the Ernest movies.  You guys probably have no idea what I'm talking about and that a good thing.  BUT, the Ernest movies include such gems as "Ernest goes to Jail", Ernest saves Christmas" and "Slam Dunk Ernest".  Sounds pretty high quality, right??  No way. 

Mikey told us this story a few weeks ago about how he loved the Ernest Halloween movie as a kid but his girlfriend had never seen it.  So he got a hold of a copy recently and he was so excited to sit down and show it to her....until he pressed "play".  And then realized how awful, cheesy and totally lame it was.  His girlfriend asked him "and you liked this?".  Not anymore.

So then we go to talking about other movies and/or shows that we loved as kid and now realize are totally lame.  C-dub mentioned the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  I brought up Pee Wee Herman.  Saved by the Bell comes to mind as does Full House.  Man, how cool we thought this stuff was back in the day.  But I will say, it might have been cheesy, but at least it was clean and appropriate.

Just think....there's probably some movie or show that you love right now....what are you going to think about it in 15 years??
