RadioactiveKid posted:I was way into Power rangers and power Rangers ripoffs like:  The tokusatsu shows used for Beetleborgs and VR Troopers are actually from the Metal Heroes line, which is fundamentally different from Sentai/Power Rangers. VR Troopers used stock footage from a few different shows, most notably from Superhuman Machine Metalder which was based on the classic Kikaider series that was briefly aired on Toonami late in its lifetime. Beetleborgs and Beetleborgs: Metallix were created from two concurrent series, Heavyshell Beetle Fighter and Beetle Fighter Kabuto, that actually were more like sentai rip-offs compared to the earlier Metal Heroes shows. Beetleborgs was forced to end when they simply ran out of stock footage to use. I really liked Beetleborgs and had quite a few of the toys.

Its interesting to note that the tokusatsu source material for VR troopers originated from the mid to late 80's, so you'd watching footage from a decade ago.

That reminds of a Kenan and Kel joke that sticks out in my mind. Kenan turned the store he worked at into a club at night and would DJ. One night it's packed, and Kenan is on the mic and does the "Wave ya hands in the air, like ya just don't care" line, and a few seconds later the owner bursts in and exclaims "What's going on?! Who are all these people, waving their arms in the air in such a manor that would suggest they don't care?!"

I got halfway down the first page and saw that Sears air conditioning commercial and I heard it it my head. "I'll call today!" "You'll call now." "I'll call now." 90s as gently caress, man. I remember reading Bruce Coville books, too, like Aliens Ate My Homework. poo poo, I still remember the most ridiculous part of it: his little sister and brother called papier mache "pooper mucky". Seriously, Bruce? Seriously? Also Nickelodeon everything. Rocko's Modern Life, All That (get your hands off of my grandmother!), poo poo. I seem to remember a bunch of Nickelodeon movies, too.

That show was loving awesome. I think they just got released on DVD on netflix, im gonna have to add them to my queue. Some of the ska like videos posted maybe go to youtube and relive my late 90's musical tastes The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impressions that I get https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIGMUAMevH0 I remember seeing these guys live at a 107.7 The End's(seattle radio station) 'Board Stiff'(later renamed to Board This for some reason), which was a music festival at a ski slope. Being in a pit with a bunch of people wearing ski or snowboard boots seems like a really bad idea, but it was a lot of fun. Reel Big Fish - Sell Out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEKbFMvkLIc Saw these guys play at Bumbershoot in 98 or 99 and was hooked on them for years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GDZp0bPRcU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCzWPBR30Nk Save Ferris falls into the same category, but I was never as much of a fan of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOlp8frMfsk Same goes for Goldfinger. Now that I've wasted too much time on youtube, i should probably get back to work......

Compilation CDs and the late-night TV advertisements for them. Staying up to watch USA Up All Night (hosted by Gilbert Godfried) led to me memorizing thirty-second-long mashups of five-to-ten-seconds of about ten or twenty songs. Clicking one of those New Age music links finally put me at one of those New Age songs I always wanted to hear in full, and it only dawned on me when it hit that four seconds of it they used in an old compilation CD commercial.

Ditto, I've got a few seconds of Hooked on a Feeling linked up with Afternoon Delight leading in to Smoke on the Water and so on written deep deep in my mind somewhere. If I ever got Inceptioned everyone trying to steal my secret stuff would have to listen to an ad for Greatest Hits of the 70s slowed down 10x and they'd probably have to bail and cut their losses.

USA Up All Night was a classic and this really hits home with something I've said for a long time: That era of TV has died. It used to be up until probably about 2005 that the late-late show and the weekend afternoon movie was sort of a common, but big, thing. USA had Up All Night, TNT had Monstervision with Joe Bob Briggs, 100% Weird, etc. TBS was often known to show odd films on a Friday/Saturday night. Local channels would routinely have older movies after midnight, etc. Then you had the cable networks that did the same, too. They were great outlets for films that would have otherwise been forgotten or lost to an audience. I posted:The other being Vanilla Ice. Snow and Ice seem to be the two that ruined rap music for white guys until Eminem came along. I think at that time the genre was really in a state of trying to find its pop culture niche. Geraldo, Tone Loc, Mix-A-Lot, MC Hammer and others all had a lot of popularity with the genre and mass appeal for a few years, but that all sort of faded away. I almost want to say that Snow, Ice, and others from the era, no matter how 'tough' they were were sort of vestiges of a 'fun' rap scene before the hardcore and more antagonistic rap scene stepped into the limelight around the same time with feuds, deaths, anger, shock, lyrics, etc. made them look sort of 'childish' and 'fake' in comparison. Of course, I wasn't too big into the rap scene, so my perceptions may be off.

GPTribefan posted:Psssh - it wasn't REALLY USA Up All Night unless it was hosted by Rhonda Shear... I remember weekday afternoon movies. In my area it was the 'Dialing For Dollars' movie. A few times during the film, the lady that hosted would spin a big wheel that looked like a phone dial, that would tell her how many numbers down from the top of the list to get the number to call (phone books were cut up into pieces that had 10 numbers each.) You had to be watching to win, if she called you, you had to give the name of the movie. If nobody won that day, they would add some money to the pot for the next day's calls. Did anybody else have a 'Dialing For Dollars' movie in their area. I'm pretty sure it existed in other places, it's referenced in a Janis Joplin song. BTW, this wasn't 90s, but 70s.

So many forgotten memories flashed before my very eyes. Beverly Hills 90210. Jason Priestley working at the Peach Pit... I was absolutely besotted  Here are some early UK 90's stuff that I remembered while reading this thread, they're all 'top banana, brilliant and bonkers': Motormouth show with Neil Buchanan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oBx5MVmMxo Ghost Train show with Nobby the Sheep (go 1:20 in for the actual intro or not if you want to see Michaela Strachan doing the elephant rap and the big TV-AM egg cups): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6hgGp40eYg Wide Awake Club. WACADAY. Mallet's Mallet! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHvdr1E2esE Finders Keepers game show with Neil Buchanan (wasn't he in another art program called 'Zaaaap! dressed up as a stereotypical artist?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=137iNha13Bs And I remember this was playing on every music channel.

This is admittedly a very, very small part of the 90s (and I couldn't find a picture of the original 90s version, instead of this... Blu-Ray re-release?), but... Forrest Gump was such a popular social force that it had its own box of chocolates. Sure, there's movie-food tie-ins all the time, but this one stands out in memory since it replaced my family's usual Christmas chocolates. Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Hollywood. actually, I don't remember them being too bad

Leon Einstein posted:I could've sworn they co-hosted it for awhile. I watched that poo poo all the time in the early 90s. I also enjoyed the Weird Science show that was on around the same time. I thought Vanessa whatever her name is that played Lisa was sooooooooo hot. She still is. Gilbert Gotfried hosted one night, and Rhonda the other, I think. What I remember most was that when they showed Assault of the Party Nerds there were several poorly cropped scenes where you could see Michelle Bauer's nipples. Going back to Joe Bob Briggs, I loved when he had Drive-In Theater on The Movie Channel. First place I saw John Woo's The Killer and where I rediscovered the works of Andy Sidaris during Joe Bob's Girls With Bug Guns month. He even had Andy and Julie Strain as guests multiple times. Monstervision was good, but it wasn't the same.

I posted this in another thread, but I think it deserves to be here, too. Years ago Up All Night played a movie called Getting Lucky: It's story of an alcoholic leprechaun who has to grant wishes to a school nerd. I swear to God, they actually played this scene without any edits on the show back in the 90s.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8Hud1aOvdE I remembered this for years. Then one night about 10 years later I'm talking to a guy I know about UAN and he starts describing this film and I complete his sentence. He's amazed I knew what he was talking about because no one believed him when he said he saw something like that on USA in the 90s. JediTalentAgent has a new favorite as of 06:13 on Jun 11, 2012 |
