chitoryu12 posted:Unironically, "Kiss From a Rose" is one of the best songs ever. I spent the summer that song came out working in a camp kitchen. It was a magical summer of listening to the same songs on repeat on the local radio for 13-14 hours a day in a 90 degree kitchen. I Swear Counting Blue Cars Roll to Me Found Out About You Kissed by a Rose Because the Night Bump’n’Grind Come to My Window I’ll Remember Linger And one random Ace of Bass song Just on constant loop for two months straight. I can’t think about anything that happened to me that summer without feeling like I’m watching a goddamn Cameron Crowe movie.

Dixville posted:Lol I'm pretty sure they used it at some point when Seinfeld was ending, like during some clip show or something. It's up there with Fortunate Son as far as misused ironic songs go. Yeah it was used for the Seinfeld finale clip show. It was also used in E.R. when a nurse sang the song at the funeral for a child that died of cancer. Someone at NBC either really loved the song or NBC owned the record company Green Day was signed to.

All of those suggestions are good(except Hackers) but they all(except Hackers) have a disqualifying defect. No rave scene, you can't be a quintessential 90s movie without a rave scene. Now Blade, Blade had a rave scene. And a scene where that rave was being sprayed down with blood. And the bad guy was Stephen Dorff.

Dillbag posted:John Popper is also a crazy prepper that was busted with 13 firearms in hidden compartments in a vehicle that was equipped with sirens, emergency lights and a fuckin P.A. system (lol) because he didn't want to be "left behind". Dude is doing his best to behave like a real life Eric Cartman. When Blues Traveler was playing in the area a year or so ago he stayed at the hotel I worked at. After the show he went straight to his room with about 3 dozen wings. I base the count solely based on the number of stripped bones he left strewn around the hotel room. He tore the carpet up dragging the lounge chair over to the window so he could watch tv while eating and used the curtains as his napkin. The less said about the desecration the bathroom went through, the better.

Wheat Loaf posted:I don't know. St Elsewhere had been a very highly-acclaimed hospital drama praised for its serialised storylines, realism and accuracy (disclaimer: I don't know how realistic or accurate it actually was) a decade before ER. Yeah, I think if you really want to track the development of ‘prestige tv’ just look into the career of Steve Bochco. The man had a string of hit series that constantly pushed the medium forward from Hill St Blues, to LA Law, to NYPD Blue. He even gave a boost to what people currently think of as ‘prestige tv’ by pushing up and coming show runners he mentored away from network tv and toward cable when networks started self censoring under pressure from family alliance groups during the Bush years.

Neito posted:I feel like more than that, even some sitcoms were breaking out of the "Status quo every episode" thing. Friends, for example, had actual long-reaching consequences and callbacks. I wouldn't say it wasn't heavily episodic, but it kinda laid the groundwork for having sitcoms with "myth arcs" and poo poo like that. Maybe for network sitcoms but HBO has it beat by a few years with two shows; 1st and 10- a serialized sitcom from the 80s where each season was a season of football. It was pretty popular but sort of disappeared from the cultural landscape between it being hard to edit for syndication and it starring OJ. Dream On- this was actually the first show by Kauffman and Crane and created the template they would end up using a few years later on Friends.

Horace posted:Rather impressively, Veronica's Closet went from being #5 in 98-99 to #86 the next season. They didn't even bother airing the last few episodes. That’s what happens when your first two seasons your sandwhiched between the biggest shows on television and the executives get the bright idea that you’re strong enough to stand on your own.

KHLAV KALASHNIKOV posted:All I remember about Suddenly Susan was Brooke Shields was some magazine journalist and that it also had Judd Nelson, Nestor Carbonell, and Kathy Griffin. Oh, and that there was a guy on there who killed himself irl so they worked that into the plot of one episode. I think the only time this show got a second thought from anybody was the really racist as they kept airing during the summer olympics. A stunt double in a karate gi flipped around a mat and then Brooke Shields squinted her eyes, said “ah so” and bowed as a gong sounded.

twistedmentat posted:I heard a story, I think its from a Simpsons commentary, where they wanted to use an AC/DC song in an episode but they straight up were told no by either the record company or the management. But one of the people on the show knew Brian Johnson or at least someone really close to the band that got the request directly to the band, and they overrode the earlier denial. The opposite happened to The Verve. The orchestral sample in Bittersweet Symphony was from an orchestral cover of a Rolling Stones song, so they went to Jagger and Richards for permission and got their blessing. But Jagger and Richards didn’t own the rights to their music anymore, their manager Allan Klein does. Klein is known for being both a vicious shark and a total rear end in a top hat. He sues and not only gets 50% of the song’s proceeds but 50% of album sales. And then the song blows up and Klein demands 100% of the song and 75% of the album to which the band eventually agreed to.

JediTalentAgent posted:I thought some further story about it was that they were pretty much forced at the zero hour to agree to it because the CDs/tapes had all been produced and were waiting for delivery to the shops or were already there. The only options was destroy them all or agree to the deal. I think someone with the band had said if not for that the label might have fought harder for them. I believe the record was already in stores when Klein came back with the 100%/75% demand, so the label could either accept or issue a recall on existing stock.

twistedmentat posted:Was Andy Richter Controls the Universe around the same time too? Working was the mid to late 90s, I remember the reviews constantly mentioning that they'd settle for the show until the Dilbert cartoon premiered that coming winter. I think it ended up getting a third season on USA? Or it might have just been syndication. Andy Richter premiered in 2001, the very same night Scrubs did. They weren't counter programmed so that was a good tv night for me.

There was a story a month or two back about a local San Fran news team doing a story about the rash of car break ins. While they were inside interviewing a victim the news van was broken into and they stole about $20k in broadcasting equipment. Edit: Sure it's current events but the irony involved is 90s as gently caress.

Amos tended to be coy about her preferences but certain things could be read into her songs and Difranco and The Indigo Girls were out and proud at a time that was a rarity, so all three tended to draw a lot of interest from people that identifies with them.

There was(and to a lesser extent still is) a belief among the hard liners of the LGBTQ community(and even elsewhere) that Bi doesn't really exist it's just people too afraid to commit or even looking inattention by fishing in a shallower pool. Mostly gatekeeping assholes that also tend to be TERFS so gently caress them.

Yeah McDonalds absolutely got blasted over how much Styrofoam the McDLT used, and a good chunk of that time was when giving a poo poo about the environment was still considered crunchy.

It was one those random associations that led there too, she mentioned she was dissapointed the corner store stopped selling little debbie's, which made me think of Camel Walk by Southern Culture on the Skids. Then that video made me want to find old tapings of 120 minutes for more of those beautiful 90s music videos.

Happy Landfill posted:Makes sense. That would probably completely ruin Nick by association. I'm not sure how a channel devoted entirely to kids entertainment comes back from harboring more than one chronic sex creep. Think I heard somewhere that they rehired another sex creep after he served time in prison for something to do with kids...some production guy, I think. The pervading rumor at the time was that, since he started as a child actor himself, Schneider had receipts on a lot of people. Particularly in Redstone's media empire, which is how he got the position he was in at Nickelodeon to begin with and why Redstone had a vested interest in protecting him. For Brittany, as much as it was played up as a crazy nervous breakdown thing, shaving her head was 100% about her being in a bitter custody battle and trying to head off a follicle drug test maneuver from Federline's lawyer.
