McG directed a bunch of music videos in the 90s, which is incredible because they're all the same music video

I can't technically play the 12-years-old game in the 90s thread cause I was 12 in 1987, but 15-year-old me and my best friend taped SNL religiously and saw the first Wayne's World movie three whole times in the theater. To us, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey were gods who walked as men. Not so much today. The movie mostly holds up, though, and I'll always feel bad for Carvey and his failed sketch comedy show.

I gotta condemn them because we ended up suffering a ton of bad movies with SNL characters stringing five minute jokes into hour and a half films.

I was a huge Jim Carrey fan and I certainly remembered his rise as a big comedy star, but I didn't realize that Ace Ventura, The Mask, and Dumb & Dumber all came out in 1994. God drat.

Somebody played Tootsee Roll at an event I was at tonight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs7f3ssuEjA It was everywhere for a time, to the point it was a routine for some area cloggers. For you non-southerners, clogging is the whitest thing to ever white.

Based upon my knowledge and experience, there is a better than 90% chance that those people are either clogging (dancing, but for white people) to "Dixieland Delight" or the University of Alabama's actual fight song.

This might be better off in the Netflix thread, but there's a documentary on Jim Carrey that's full of behind-the-scenes footage shot during the making of "Man On The Moon" that's fascinating. Carrey was in-character as Kaufman the entire time, and it kind of made him either crazy or incredibly sane afterwards. Either way, he never made another movie again.

Was 101 Dalmatians the first time Disney did a live-action remake of one of its old animated movies? They've done a lot of those lately but I have pretty distinct memories of going to see that 101 Dalmatians movie in the cinema. I don't know if Hook prompted that trend, because while that obviously wasn't a Disney movie, I remember thinking it assumed familiarity with the Disney movie more than the book.

Bizarre fact that I just learned: there's a new non-Disney big budget live-action Jungle Book coming out next year. Less than two years after the one we just got. And given that "the jungle book" is way more synonymous in popular consciousness with the Disney cartoon than the public domain source material, I bet the reaction to this one is going to be extremely confused.
