what were all the flashback jokes per character it was, like flock-of-seagulls-hair Chandler, fat Monica, I think pre-nose-job Rachel? Flashback Ross's joke was just like "he's still Ross lmao"

Justin Tyme posted:twister is a great movie so theres no way the sequel wont be loving stupid and filled with bad over the top unbelievable cg its going to be incredibly stupid with the most stock placeholder characters possible Twister is one of those movies that for better or worse just kinda worked despite itself and that can't be replicated, especially in today's Hollywood

Gresh posted:its going to be incredibly stupid with the most stock placeholder characters possible everyone's just a regular person going through regular person stuff while doing a stormchaser job and the main dramatic thrust is a separated couple going through a divorce. its a miracle the thing even got made let alone had such an incredible cast they just go hang out at the main character's mom (grandma's?) house and we the viewers feel just as much of a break as the characters do. its one of those movies where someone can ask "what's not the best, but one of the better movies of the 1990's?" and you can justifiably say "twister" and get a confused reaction because who the hell even remembers twister in 2024?

It's weird how there were nostalgic flashbacks in the 1990s and 2000s for the 80s, but people don't really do the same nostalgia bit for the 2000s, or 2010s.

yeah, as i mentioned last time this topic came up, there's tons of 2000s nostalgia. like half of the top 40 right now is basically pastiches of 2000s-era music. olivia rodrigo's whole schtick is just doing a paramore impression. backstreet boys songs are getting tons of radio play

did they just skip over the 90s nostalgia straight from 80s to 2000s or what I distinctly remember spending a lot of the 2010s thinking "the nostalgia probably should have moved on to the 90s by now, why is it still the 80s"

the milk machine posted:a large part of what people consider "the 80s" is really the early to mid 90s The 90s was dominated by nostalgia for the 60s and 70s and the the 80s was dominated by nostalgia for the 50s, so it only follows that as we move forward these things are all gonna blend together as we start becoming nostalgic for the times we were nostalgic. Side note, this is how Frank Zappa predicted the world would end, with ever tightening loops of nostalgia for the previous moment.

A lot of memes have adopted a kind of artificial 2000s aesthetic as far as graphic design too.

Side note, this is how Frank Zappa predicted the world would end, with ever tightening loops of nostalgia for the previous moment. But the 80s bleeding over into the 90s is the opposite of a tightening loop? Depending on what we're talking about it's arguable things like 80s fashion and entertainment kept going into the 90s, it's not like at midnight on a year ending in 9 everyone immediately starts releasing new and different poo poo. As an aside does anyone else feel like the 00s and 10s are much less distinctive stylistically than the 50s-90s? Maybe it's because we're not getting fed depictions of them through media yet so only real ones know and we're not all just remembering the same simulacras of those decades on TV, but I don't feel wistful for media or fashion or even really music from those decades. And yes I did read Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher.

anyways my own take on nostalgia, whatever form, is that i've been alive since the late 80s and i can pretty much definitively state every single year i've been alive has been worse (on a domestic-global level, not a personal growth/achievements level) than the preceding year for it. every year things are just worse, material conditions decline for me and those around me. any social cohesion, third places, and community has increasingly been atomized and alienated into hyper-individuality consumption, deteriorating like a plastic children's toy left out in the sun. there is no future where I see a reversal in this trend where i can say: yep 2024 is lookin' to be a better year than 2023. so it is obvious why burger-people en-masse would want to wrap themselves in warm blankets of nostalgia for a time where things were, objectively, better -- even if it's a re-imagined baudrillard-ian simulacra of images and symbols that are so removed from the original that there is no comparison to a real.
