Wheat Loaf posted:In about 1994, Disney released a Mickey Mouse rap album called Mickey Unrapped, featuring songs like "Whatta Mouse" - a cover of "Whatta Man" by Salt-N-Pepa in which Minnie Mouse raps about how she knows Mickey will never cheat on her. The 90s was weird. There was a Kermit album too, Kermit Unpigged  I used to love this album. I still think the Born to be Wild version on this album is the definitive version of the song.

I musta seen the NBC miniseries of the Odyssey at least four or five times. I went to one of those high schools were putting this on in class counted as reading it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2paSWX2hdNI I remember every scene from that miniseries. A miniseries event! They made ones for Langoliers and the Shining too, in addition to It and The Stand and The Tommyknockers. My mom had read all these books when they came out and I remember her commentary on how the miniseries of the Shining was more true the vision of the book as opposed to the movie. I, the neurotic 10 year old, was sorta scared of the time eating beings from the Langoliers, but my mom just laughed at CGI and called them the cocca puffs of doom. Stephen King books and movies may have been very 80s, but gottdang if Stephen King miniseries weren't peak 90s. I remember even an ad on the SciFi channel that would enroll you in a Stephen King miniseries/movie VHS club. Ha, I was just now getting nostalgic for miniseries events (!) but I realized that's basically what Netflix is now.

One thing that marked the 90s was "edginess" imo. -Beavis and butt-head -South park -Lads mags (maxim and the like) -Spiffy jackets (anyone else remember these? They were bomber jackets with a cartoon character smoking a joint and were popular with young teens) -Ebeneezer Goode (UK dance track that managed to get "e's are good past censors) -when it comes to indie bands, compare oasis with coldplay (sure I wouldn't call oasis edgy per se but they were a pack of swaggering dicks) -grunge -channel 5 showing soft porn on terrestrial TV -eurotrash

Same with The 10th Kingdom, although in retrospect that show as pretty bad. But I was REALLY into it. Those miniseries events were such a big deal because you couldn't just tivo or torrent them back then.

Grassy Knowles posted:I loved the Oasis vs Blur battle of britpop. I was too young for that but my mum - who didn't really like either band - says she was on Oasis's side because she thought Blur were a bunch of posers; said they come off like a bunch of posh boys pretending they were working class heroes.

RagnarokAngel posted:I'd say it was a bit more planned than that given the end credits stinger where Nick Fury literally says "You're part of a bigger universe". You're probably right that if the movie didn't do well they'd call a mulligan but that 30 second stinger shows a fair amount of foresight. They kept Fury to the end credits for that reason. If the movie was a hit then great. If it wasn't then it wouldn't matter because it was just something they shoved at the very end where most people wouldn't see it. It's why they also had to really awkwardly shoe-horn Tony Stark into THE INCREDIBLE HULK seeing as that was already in production when IRON MAN hit it big.

Wheat Loaf posted:I think the last action movie in the 90s that a) most felt like it was a holdover from the 80s; and b) was very successful must have been Air Force One. Air Force One loving owns, but the plot is about as 90s as you can get. The antagonist's entire motivation is how lovely and weak Russia got after the fall of communism, but Russia itself isn't the bad guy, just totally unhelpful. It falls in that 10-15 year pop culture sweet spot between "Russia as the evil communist empire" and "Russia as the evil fascist empire" after Putin came around. Crimson Tide hits a lot of the same notes, now that I think about it. ninjahedgehog has a new favorite as of 20:53 on Sep 16, 2017 |

Two movies from the late 90s - Anaconda and Lake Placid. If these were made today, they'd be Sy Fy originals (and they'd probably have the same casts and budgets  ), but in the late 90s, they went out in theatres and they made loads of money. I think that's funny in a strange way. Those must have been the last movies like that.
