I've heard Tommy Lee Jones is actually a gigantic rear end in a top hat probably because he's about a million years old and people are still calling him "Tommy" like it's his turn on the god damned Slip N Slide

Sunswipe posted:I'm sorry, what? I never watched Oz, so I only know what I've heard from reviewers and stuff, but I thought it was supposed to be a serious and realistic drama about American prisons? Either in the last or second last season, some senator or whatever thinks it's a great to test out aging pills as a method to solve overcrowding in prisons. Take a pill and age a felon 20 years instead of having to feed and house them in prison for those 20 years. One of the characters takes it, and the next morning his waist-length hair has turned loving white.  At some point someone in charge must have figured out how loving stupid this plotline was, because I'm pretty sure the nurse character just says, "oh, we stopped the pills, good thing the aging completely reversed itself," the hair is back to normal and no one ever brings it up again.Oz is still worth watching though.

Sunswipe posted:I may need to watch this show. Oz is one of my favorite shows of all time. It's simultaneously hammy, poetic, and deeply dramatic, almost all at once. I've watched through it a ton, and every time I find myself enjoying a new character from a new perspective which, to me, is the sign of a great show. Of course, it also gave us this scene, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSlggxYFu28&t=116s, where you get to see a guy trying his best to be Derek Zoolander. I love the actor, and character, and I feel this perfectly sums up just how hammy the show can get.

A lot of the good, popular stuff seems "dated-but-not-yet-retro", so it gets ignored, and the hidden gems and cult classics haven't had time to find their audience yet, so it seems like nothing good ever came out. I'm sure I could come up with plenty of great stuff from the 2000s if I really sat down and thought about it. GWBBQ has a new favorite as of 23:43 on Dec 10, 2017 |

It blows my mind that Deep Blue Sea was about twice as expensive to make as Jurassic Park but looks so much worse because of those stupid CGI sharks.

The CGI in the submarine sequence in Escape from LA is basically at the same level as the cutscenes in Playstation games around the same time, despite being a decently budgeted movie.

As much as people like to talk about where exactly they think the cultural demarcation between the '90s and the 2000s lies, personally, I think that very ambiguity just serves to further fuel my belief that the whole popular conception of the decade as a single unit of culture over time, separate and distinct from both preceding and subsequent decades, is fundamentally flawed at best. Because from what I've seen, it really seems that the late half of one decade and the early half of the next generally have more in common with one another than either does with the opposite half of their own decade, and I would say that the late '90s/early 2000s, despite the culturally-traumatic poo poo that went down right at the border between the two, are no exception to that. Anyways, have some truly RADICAL stuff from the early '90s, BROTHER! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-gyjldxrU8

There are a lot of notoriously bad 90s movies that I can't help but wonder if they'd be considered 'good' by modern standards. I still say the 90s Lost In Space movie isn't that bad except for the CG Monkey and some of the comedy. I wouldn't have minded seeing another couple films in that universe because it had a gimmick. Family displaced in space/time just trying to get back to human civilization. You could build a 3-4 film franchise out of that.

The Matrix popularizing slow motion and spinning cameras (often combined) reminds me of how the first Max Payne was so heavily influenced by it when it came out. It dropped in July 2001, so still in that border time when the turn of the millennium had hit but 9/11 hadn't yet ruined everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK5PRRITJu8

I think the thing that most separates the 90's and 2000's is the availability of the internet. Seems like by 2003 it was everywhere, and that's led to this hell world now e: content https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShiShrR_nh8 Genderfluent has a new favorite as of 18:03 on Dec 11, 2017 |

ryonguy posted:A tv show even. I thought they were in the process of a new TV show remake right now with Parker Posey as Dr. Smith. But about 15 years ago there was another TV relaunch attempt with John Woo's involvement that was bad by even early 2000s standards. It never went past the pilot movie stage to the point that I don't think it was ever officially aired and someone ended up posting an unfinished effects cut on Youtube several years ago. But given the long-term reaction to something like JP: The Lost World, Batman and Robin, Lost In Space, Wing Commander, Wild Wild West movies, I think to myself, "Are they really THAT much WORSE than movies that get at least passingly positive reviews or box office from today?"

FactsAreUseless posted:What you actually mean is "New Miserable Experience was an alright album." Everyone forgets they released more after their lead singer killed himself. They weren't good. It wasnt the lead singer who killed himself, it was Doug Valenzuela, the guitarist and lead songwriter. Robin Wilson is still the lead singer. They have been touring for years in places like indian casinos (aka where bands go to die) and have been doing New Miserable Experience in its entirerty for it's 25th aniversary.

GWBBQ posted:This is spot on. One thing I would add is that stylistically, the color wash used to set the scene in The Matrix and to a lesser extent, Fight Club, became super common. To the detriment of nearly all films. Matrix did a cool thing where the real world was all grey and cold and blue and the computer world was all mute green and yellow and black colors, really cool filtering that kept you aware of which reality you were in. Now every single gently caress movie is just orange & blue, they filter the hell out of everything by default without even thinking of why. E: I remember the first time I saw Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (another classic late 90s film), I thought the filtering was really wild and cool. Now its so extremely overplayed.

What if we made a movie just like Clue but with all the joy and talent sucked out of it? There are exactly two jokes in the entire movie that land and the rest of the time you're just sitting there staring in horror as the cast tries to make things work.

For some reason the mid 70s up through the early 90s had a real nostalgia boom for the 1930s-1950s, generally, with the 80s having more additional focus on the 60s and the 90s on the 1970s. Was the whole swing music revival the 90s or did that happen later?
