Did you know Buggin Out was Gus from Breaking Bad? Or was I the only person who did NOT know that?

This will be sacrilege, I know— but this is one of those movies that when it came out I loved it and thought "what an important film!" But when I re-watched it a while ago, it was about 75% dated and cringe worthy.

From the ridiculous Rosie Perez opening dance (and her terrible acting), the whacky-ass fashions, to the over-the-top hit-you-over-the-head messaging. And then there's Danny Aiello's "yell-acting."

I think people wanted it to be better than it actually is.

@3 'she's gotta have it ' still holds up though...
( so does 'he got game', crooklyn, and summer of sam. and so will '4 little girls', 'passing strange' and the still timely ' when the levees broke' )
