It sounds like all of you should watch The Orange Years, on Hulu! It's a documentary/nostalgia piece about 90s Nickelodeon, the programming you think about for a moment whenever you see something orange, green, or slimy. Seeing Marc Summers and a few of the actors from those shows was wonderful in ways I hadn't expected. I also recognized a friend I hadn't seen in years in the man-on-the-street interviews at the end, which was bizarre. Check it out, see if one of your old friends is randomly in it too!

I rewatched a ton of it last year on paramount+ and it holds up really well.

Also for the record I love hey dude and salute your shorts but Pete & Pete is like genuinely worth watching even now. If you grew up in the mid 90s it's just comfy and puts you in a real specific time and place.

The theme song sounds like they knew you'd watch it years after it came out.

I started a rewatch of Natural Born Killers, for like the 3rd time in 5 years, and I just can’t do it. First couple of times I tapped out at the snake bite sequence, this time was the drug store shoot out. I have seen it before, about 20 years ago, but it just kinda sucks and it’s a real slog. It looks pretty though.

The main thing that resonates from that with me still is the interview with the kids talking about how cool Mickey and Mallory are and then awkwardly fitting in "oh yeah but we respect human lives and stuff". Kinda perfectly distilled a lot of problems with the USA.

yep. it's without a doubt in my mind Tarantino's best movie simply by virtue of being more subtle and subdued. He really brings out a great performance in Pam Grier.

low-key my favorite De Niro performance too. His playing offtype as a stoner dirtbag is so fun.

Pulp Fiction will probably always be my favorite Tarantino movie, just because of the age I was when it came out and how game changing it felt at the time. Jackie Brown is definitely his best though. Robert Forster and Pam Grier are perfection.

The only part of four rooms I remember is the lighter scene. I caught it randomly on ifc in like 2005

I used to watch a TON of ifc back then. Wonder if it’s still good

Inglorious Basterds is peak Tarantino, while Pulp Fiction is still my favorite and the most important work from him. I do agree that his movies have suffered some since the death Sally Menke, but I still liked every one of them.

It would be interesting to see him do more period pieces. Now I've imagined a Tarantino movie in Victorian London and will die unhappy because he'll never make that poo poo

e a sex and intrigue movie about the de Medicis, a Napoleon movie, a movie about the moon landing where the astronauts all hate each other and are actually flying to the moon to find the Nazi moon base

Speaking of Tarantino, I recently rewatched Kill Bill and was a bit surprised to find that I enjoyed Part 2 way less than Part 1. The first one is just full with iconic scenes and my favourite antagonist (as I am eternally weak to Lucy Liu), but the second one just felt kind of overly self-indulgent.

I had a chance to hang out with Summers a while back, a little before his taxicab accident. He was pretty cool. We talked about Hulk Hogan being a psychopath and where to get a good burger. He recommended a place to me but said "it's... mucho dinero" in his TV presenter voice while making a little money gesture with his fingers.

I watched 4 episodes of 3 Body Problem for insomnia reasons and as a huge fan of the books and someone that is hugely aware of how much the GoT people screwed up those ones... it's very good so far.

Episode (edit: 5) contains (major spoilers) the nanowire boat chopping scene, and it's very effectively as horrifying and violent as it should be. Same episode gets the big reveal of the sophons and basically all hell breaking loose.. I'm very excited to finish it up when I get a chance. They are definitely mixing or at least priming elements of future books already, which isn't a bad thing.
