I always found the Y2K lunacy entertaining; I know there were serious IT issues that needed to be overcome, but it led to moments of high-camp, culture wise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKv563gbJbE JVI Ministries, as always, was on the ball. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3ESHzdufTw The opening scene of the worst movie I've ever seen. Ignore the fact that it's a cell-phone picture; better picture and sound doesn't make it any less terrible. I recommended that the person who gave it to me destroy the videotape; in hindsight, I wish I would have kept it as a monument to bad cinema. Perusing Amazon shows it was never given a DVD release, and there are only three reviews on IMDB (I wrote one of them). I know I'm venting, but I can't say enough bad things about this movie, and I haven't seen it in nearly 13 years. It's like a Gen-X Coleman Francis film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yIcFaOX6r8 Keep in mind that the star of this film is an Oscar-winner. quote:Sitting up until god knows what hour on FortuneCity chatrooms. Oh yes. I remember doing the same on IRC. And stealing music off of IRC, back before Napster brought the whole music-stealing thing into the open. Good times, good times.

 There was only a very small cultural window that this would be acceptable. One day in 1996, I was perusing the Sam Goody's at the local mall, and I saw a bunch of bottles of this stuff for sale. The SGs didn't have a refrigerator, so they were just lying on the ground, unsold and slowly fermenting. Bulgaroktonos has a new favorite as of 13:34 on Mar 24, 2012 |

Wandering Knitter posted:What makes winamp 90's were the thousands of terrible free skins you could download from shady websites. I rocked a winamp with a TNG interface skin. I'm pretty sure winamp was a host to spyware, or there was something shady about it. Anyone remember MP3.com? It was like a proto-youtube, where the worst musicians in the world posted their inane music. Every time a major event happened, dozens of awful tribute songs would be forthcoming. There must have been dozens of Owen Hart tribute songs, for instance. This is what I'm talking about : http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/09/365-days-254---.html

What about The Net? Almost every movie involving computers had a sinister Bill Gates-like villain (see Anti-Trust). The level of loathing for Gates is quaint in retrospect.

Adamski & Seal: Killer You know, this is a great song and all, but the video is amazing in how utterly fixed it is to what was considered "cool" in 1990. Special note should be given to Adamski's pimp-coat and sideways cap, Seal's spandex jumpsuit (reminiscent of Barry Bostwick in Megaforce) and short-dreadlocks look, and the CGI tap dance. I bet Seal pretends this doesn't exist. edit: I have to emphasize that this is a great song. Bulgaroktonos has a new favorite as of 00:59 on May 21, 2012 |

In the early nineties, I attended a couple of school assemblies where they did this flashy PSA thing about staying in school/don't drive drunk/don't do drugs that was interspersed with clips from popular movies at the time. The first one I attended was a whole bunch of stay-in-school stuff, along with the motorcycle chase from T2 and a scene from Backdraft(?!); the effect was quite bizarre. Does anyone else remember these, or have any information about who made them?
