Back in the mid-90's I scoured the T.V. guide for new cartoons, since there always seemed to be an ill-fated show that would run for a year or less and get cancelled. I got up at like 4 a.m. when I found out about the Ruby Spears Mega Man cartoon airing first-thing after paid programming. I sleep in on principle now.

FilthyImp posted:RBD was just soooooo blatantly commercialized that it was hard to buy in. That and it just wasnt as relatable. I don't remember much about Rebelde itself. I think it was one of the last big telenovelas of its kind because it was the mid 2000's and most kids were gravitating more towards kids cartoons. Around that time, my friends and I were more into Fox Kids anime like Digimon and Beyblade. Anyway, that one was mid 2000's, so to move back a bit into 90's, there was a kids telenovela called Serafín in 1999. I just found out that in 2001 they made a movie based on it. The animation is even worse than I remember. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A3m3ukzDP8

Obviously it samples that one measure, but Ice Ice Baby is very much not the same song as Under Pressure. However good or bad it is, it is it’s own thing.

I think the absurdity is the fact that the legal dispute was over lack of permission for the sample, not whether it was a different song. Obviously, it was a sample. So his defense was simply irrelevant. It would be like getting pulled over for drunk driving and defending yourself by saying "I'm over 21!" That's why you leave it to the lawyers. (Not that he didn't also use lawyers, I'm sure he did.)

I caught like two episodes back to back before I decided it wasn't for me. One of these involved ancient humanoid Lions entombed near Pearl Harbor rising from their graves to convert humans to their cause with ray vision. The original settlers of Hawaii apparently kicked their rear end pretty hard with nothing but melee weapons, but the lion abominations drat near conquered the planet until Mega Man found his way out of a rope net.

I never watched telenovelas while I was in Mexico, but you know what I watched the poo poo out of? Lucha Libre, especially AAA. Mid 90s AAA was the loving poo poo to me, especially since none of the adults let the kids watch it so we would watch in secret. Watching things like Los Gringos Loco (Eddie Guerrero and Art Barr) fighting against El Hijo de el Santo was like crack cocaine to an excitable young me. Also the cause of far too many injuries because of course my cousins and I tried to fight each other using lucha moves.

There hasn't been a telenovela dealing with lucha yet and I think that's an untapped market.

Ahem...one Zombie/Unstoppable Murder Golem, one Dragon, one time-traveling spaceship who is also a wrestler, one wrestling Aztec God who's unfathomably strong (seriously, Jeff Cobb is amazingly physically strong)...oh, and one female ghost manager.

twistedmentat posted:Can I say that the video for Praise You is one of the most overrated video of the 90s? Its not clever, its just boring and annoying. It's the 12oz Mouse of Music Videos. I think it got recognition and acclaim because it bucked the trend of late 90's videos. Everything else at the time were these big-budget, mini-movies. "Bye. Bye Bye," "Backstreet's Back," "California Love", "Mo' Money, Mo' Problems," etc... So then suddenly there's this mostly unheard of musician (at least to the casual music listener, i.e. prime MTV watcher) with this tiny little video of a community dance troupe shot in a mall on your dad's camcorder. I'm not saying that made it good, just that it made it stand out.

The music video is better once you realize the main leader of the dance group is for some reason Spike Jonze, the director (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Her). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_Jonze

I just got a sudden nostalgia reminder of Fun World. It was an amusement park next to Flea World in Sanford with an arcade, go-karts, mini golf, and fairground rides that opened in 1990. The arcade was like a who's who of all the best early and mid-90s arcade games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OOP-1WHSKE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6aMdA8y7oM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W9juT-4aP0 It closed in 2013 and everything was auctioned off, with Flea World following shortly after. It was mostly riding on nostalgia for its heyday (virtually nothing changed), but it was mainly closed because the guy just got tired of running it and wanted to do something else. The bulldozed lot is still empty and paperwork hang-ups are preventing the shopping plaza and office space they wanted from opening.

As far as I know Fun World never had any incidents major enough to hit the news. It had maybe a dozen rides at most? Action Park is required reading for anyone with even the tiniest interest in theme parks, amusement parks, water parks, etc. It's practically American history and it always gets crazier every time you unearth a new story.

Born in 85 and grew up in a small, rural-ish community that didn't have cable service, so Saturday morning cartoons were all I had throughout the 90s. So the idea of a whole TV network devoted to cartoons 24/7 blew my child mind. So whenever I visited my sisters (who moved a couple of hours away from home), I would binge-watch Cartoon Network as much as I possibly could, because they had a decent cable package. Irony is I wouldn't get AOL until 2002-2003ish, because I needed internet and that was the cheapest I could find at the time. Things got better, though

I was lucky enough to grow up in north Jersey in the 80’s and 90’s and got to go to Action Park on a small number of occasions. We would always hear stories of injuries and people flying off the Alpine Slide to their doom, and while I didn’t come out crippled or dead, I do remember the alpine slide being scary as poo poo when it got going fast and riding the brakes for most of the way down. I also remember how COLD the water was when you jumped into the pool from the cliff or Tarzan swing. By the time I was old enough to go I am sure it wasn’t as completely batshit bonkers as in its heyday, but it still felt like a lawless place compared to Six Flags. This feeling was not eased by the fact that at least once my friend’s mom took us there and just dropped us off to come get us later, leaving us totally unsupervised in that place before we were teenagers.
