I lucked into having the family computer in my room during my mid-teens (somewhere between ‘98 and ‘00 maybe?) because my mother decided she wanted to turn the office into a spare bedroom or something. I inherited the poo poo old TV shortly thereafter and got a splitter for the cable. Yes, we got cable internet by the end of the decade somehow, despite living in a pretty rural area.

I knew how insanely fortunate I was, especially given my tech-suspicious conservative parents.

If you like Clancy Brown, check out Pet Sematary 2. He's the only person who seems to realize the movie he's in is terrible, so he just goes all out.

Is it ZOEY or ZOWIE? My wife have been working on deciphering this for twenty years. We refuse to watch this particular movie with subtitles or look it up somewhere credible as that would ruin the mystique.

I think it's Zowie, but it's hard to understand, and Stephen King didn't have anything to do with it, so there's not a book to go check or anything.

Movie is totally loving insane and well worth a watch, though.

Oh we love the movie, but we always point out the inconsistencies with the pronunciation of the dog’s name. It’s such a rollercoaster of nuttiness.

What really hosed me up was that my parents were doing ok in the 90s and my older brother had literally all that poo poo and I was so psyched to one day be allowed to kit my room out like he had, and then I got to spend my own teen years in the 00s couch surfing with relatives and family friends :smithicide:

If we're talking about bad TV from the 90s, let's talk about EARTH 2

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_2_(TV_series)

First of all, Clancy Brown and Tim Curry made this the best thing ever to 11 year old me. The Kurgan and Pennywise? Sign me the gently caress up.

Secondly, fantastic opening:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHAwFtJrp3c

Dig that Star Trek wanna be orchestral music.


There was so much weird cheesiness. The Terrians are some sort of telepathic superspecies that can psychically tunnel through the planet, the little dudes are kleptos, and Tim Curry's BWAH! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--2_Jk2_byo

Earth 2 was one of those shows that grew out of execs wanting to capitalize on the Environmental movement. I remember it having a lot of touchy feely stuff in it.

Recomended was the intro for Space Above And Beyond
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HLeLEmp1AY

It was a bout of USMC's who were fighting in a war againt an alien race called the Chigs which we rarely saw. Because its in space, they do both ground missions and space fighter combat. Had a good ensemble and each character was district. One of the interesting concepts was AI had been created and revolted (because their designers tried to make them more human by putting in the concept of taking a chance into their base programming) and humanity had created vat grown soldiers and once the AI war was over, these Invitro's had to try to integrate into society. It only lasted one season, so it ends on a pretty big cliffhanger.

Baseketball is honestly a classic. Plus the house band is Reel Big Fish.

Both the Nirvana and the Alice in Chains Unplugged shows were fantastic.

The saddest part of the AiC show was when Layne took off his sunglasses and you could see how far gone he was.

Oh, gently caress. Yeah, that set was SO good, but just depressing as hell to watch in that sense. I used to have Music Bank or whatever and it had a lot of footage of those guys in their apartment or practice space, etc. and that always struck me as upsetting too, because at certain points they genuinely seemed to be having fun. It’s been a long time since I’ve watched it though. I think it was on VHS.

So yea. I used to think AiC unplugged was like the tightest hour long set, but it turns out the 50 some minutes of music took over 6 hours to film. You can hear their manager audibly cry on the album, because he did not think Layne could possibly perform.

Independence Day has so many scenes that just drags it down to a boring crawl. I think it really doesn't hold up outside of the Will Smith/Goldblum scenes and of course the independence day speech. Special effects still look good because of the miniature work.

The CGI was made in an era before motion blur was a thing so it's a little out of place here and there.

I don't like Independence Day and I really don't like Roland Emmerich, but it's easily his masterpiece and despite being a really stupid movie filled with ugly stereotype it just clicks.

It's more the scenes with the alien ships. The assault on El Toro for example. That one's a little rough.

Good rear end compositing on that doggo though. Nice touch with the shadow on the wall and lighting the pup too.

That shot always stood out at me, even my first time watching. I think it's a combo of the dog being so sharp, the black levels being slightly off, and the fact that the fireball should make him look more silhouetted or something.

Came to basically say this. There were a few songs that took about 4 goes to get right. Layne is just so out of it even by then. :(

Nirvana is the one that is basically one long take, theres basically only a bit of dialogue that is exempt from the "album" release and considering Cobain was all over the shop when live it was its absolute lightning in a bottle as far as quality.

I grew up in a household with a single mother, two young gay boys, and me. If it wasn't coming down slow and easy via MTV, the radio, or friends I straight-up did not know about it. Then when p2p hit in the 00s I mostly spent it catching up with indie poo poo to impress girls and anime/video game soundtracks because we all go through that phase. I didn't really learn about poo poo like Alice in Chains until I was a goddamn adult and I hate that.

I worked at the Clown when that was going on, and it was so insane the district manager said customers could either get them plain, or the way they come. No special orders. So many adults threw literal tantrums they couldn't get them without mustard or whatever.

I worked at McDonald's during a similar promotion - but it was .29 and .39. This was when everything was pre-made and we would just make like a hundred at a time and throw them in the warmer case. Special orders weren't allowed with the deal.

My friends and I would go there at lunch from high school and order 10 or 20 each. I think it was Tuesdays only.
