Justin Tyme posted: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 Your post brought back to mind my tinfoil hat theory about screen writer nepotism. Because you can’t replicate what made Twister good because it’s so quintessentially 90’s, in that main character is a divorced guy. That’s 90’s and you can’t do that anymore. Now the main character has to be child of a divorced guy or otherwise completely estranged from their biological parents.

i say swears online posted:the best line in mrs doubtfire is "yeah, we're his goddamn kids too" that is not the best line in that film. it's when Robin Williams, dressed as a sixty year old woman, claims that a piece of thrown citrus "was a run-by fruiting".

is this a safe space to express the opinion that the new season of fargo is good and that fargo is a good show context i am a gigantic coen brothers fan. the only thing fargo has done wrong is they haven't weaved in any funny coen brothers references like big lebowski or burn after reading or barton fink

skooma512 posted:
It only seems indistinctive because a lot of us grew up in the middle of it. 2000's fashion was, for lack of a better work, extremely bright and trashy. Everyone was a jock or a sorority girl, even the geeks. Mid drifts on everything, weird jersey mutations, cargo shorts, jeans with dresses. And then there were the Emo Kids. and Emo music. Thanks to 9/11, Everything was also tinted in a military aesthetic. Freedom, eagles, patriotism, and love for the troops was everywhere. This decade was also a pretty good decade for stand up comedy, and comedy in general, specifically dark comedy. The darker and edgier, the better. When I think of that decade, I think of Paris Hilton, Master Chief, and Jon Stewart. I guess what I'm saying is it was pretty distinctive to me. The 2010's were a little less distinctive, but I distinctly remember there beign a reaction to the 2000s and everything getting softer, fuzzier, and cozier. You could easily make a nostalgia show based of the 2000s or 2010s, but unfortunately its looking like one of the defining traits of the 2020's is cultural repression, censorship, and extreme corporate control over the culture, so it's harder to make shows like that nowadays.

low-rise boot cut jeans ftw. midriffs rule, 90s jeans rule, and the high-waisted jeans of the 2010s dying is only a good thing I feel like fitness is a bigger societal trend than fifteen years ago so maybe that's why midriffs are back

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. I had a random thought tonight about Australian Winter Olympic hero Steven Bradbury, who through a completely bizarre accident not only became the first Australian gold medallist at the Winter Olympics, but the first person from the Southern Hemisphere to become a gold medallist at the Winter Olympics. When I typed his name into google I was greeted with this picture, and my immediate first internal thought was "That is an extremely 2000s looking guy."

Speaking of nostalgia... We were looking for a movie last night and scrolled past the Aliens series. We had watched Alien and Aliens at Halloween so we were like "We haven't seen Alien 3 in decades. Let's watch it and see if it's REALLY as bad as its reputation!" We ended up sleeping through most of it but, uh, it definitely wasn't good. Dropping Ellen Ripley into a prison of horny men was certainly A Choice. Having her immediately want to gently caress them was another choice...

I got into Huun-Huur-Tu about 15 years ago when I had a mind numbing data entry job where I had to put all this information from forms people filled out into a website and I was in this windowless basement away from anyone else so to keep my soul from dying I blasted songs about galloping across the steppe on magic horses and eagles swooping in the sky and such and such
