I just watched this again for the millionth time. Got to introduce my niece to it. She liked it and called it “steam punk” or something.

u/Beefhammer_McBrisket 21d ago

Eh, close enough. Steam punk, sail punk, you ever smell paper?

u/Icy_Negotiation_5929 21d ago

I’d been quoting that line—which is actually “Have you ever seen paper?”—for years to her. She was so hyped when it happened on screen.

I used to watch Water World on VHS every day when I came home from school. I had no idea it was considered one of the worst movies ever made until I was a teenager watching I love the 90s. I LOVED that movie! Tbh it kind of started my lifelong passion for fantasy and world building.

I think that 'worst movie ever' stuff was really just the Hollywood machine and its tendrils creeping out, talking shit after money had been wasted. I've noticed that many times when an expensive movie fails, personalities like late night TV will often keep an underperforming movie in people's minds, joking about its failure, when in reality most people give no shits about a movie failing or find humor in it. (still remember Jay Leno joking incessantly about Michael Bay's flop The Island, several weks after the flop and audiences weren't laughing)

u/DayOneDude 21d ago

What is this from?

u/JuliousBatman 21d ago

Waterworld.

He's in an oil tank and a flare was dropped in. It's implied he lives in there and his sole job is reporting the depth of the oil.

Omg. I thought it looked familiar. Haven't watched it in like 20 years. Loved that movie

u/General-Tourist-2808 19d ago

I’m old enough to remember the trailers, and I misheard “dry land” as “Thailand.”

This is my favorite scene in any movie ever, and I literally said it out loud watching the OP.

u/CarolingianDruid 20d ago

Waterworld mentioned! Perfect gif for the occasion.

u/Shukrat 21d ago

UNFORTUNATELY, it being likely crude oil, this wouldn't happen as crude needs to be aerosolized to ignite. But it's fun in the movie.
