Oh God... no, no, nonononononononono... MAKE IT STOP!!!!
As exciting as it would be to see the return of some franchises from the 90's, I think I'd rather have my nostalgia left in tact, where I can still look back and see something pleasant. But, as the aim of being alive seems to be making money, it will lead to inevitable destruction of childhood memories and beloved franchises.

With all probability, he'll make a "Captain Planet" movie... imagine gritty-looking Planet killing bad guys with a minigun with American flag peeking somewhere in the cluster...Neverhoodian said:
Shit just got real... for real!
Having lived through all the 90s I'd love to go back, but we're not talking about going back to the 90s. We're talking about digging up their skeletons and putting on a puppet show directed by 4kids.
Maybe if going back to the 90s meant forcing all major developers to make SNES games for a few years we might see some good come out of it.

Correction: It does work when Yahtzee does it (see Extra Punctuation) It's just that you need an amount of comedic talent, and not just enough bile to make the average 13 year old CoD player blush. You also need to be able to write eloquently.AceAngel said:
OT: In terms of music, a 90s reoccurrence could only be a good thing.
If the 90's are coming back, I guess the US is going to be in an economic surplus here shortly.
On the other hand, I wouldn't mind a revive of the 90's. I mean, come on! He-Man? X-men? It's great!
Or at least, it would be, if any of these resuscitations were any good...but no. They aren't. And I'm not going to explain why. Bwaha.

I would loathe a repeat of the 90's. That decade was one of the most backwards times in human history. Case in point, post-90's is when atheism really appears to have taken off, and become socially acceptable, especially in the media.Adrian Madhog said:
to the OP, what do you have against Seth MacFarlain and Mike Judge? Those guys created some of the best stuff to come out of the 90's (barring the Simpsons which was having its hay day.).
edit:
for generations to come, people are going to view the music from the 90's the same way my generation views Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.binnsyboy said:
You just made me a really sad panda. =( I cannot for the life of me imagine why someone would like that movie.Adrian Madhog said:I really, seriously think (as a film critic who was never a fan of the original product) that "G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra" is one of the best summer blockbusters I've ever seen (which is the same as to say it was a golden ring amidst a huge pile of molten scat, which are basically all the other summer blockbusters): it's fun, with a good pacing, with action and narration blend pretty well together without bothering each other, it's ironic but not a self-parody, the villains are over-the-top like in a comic book or anime, it looks good (not a blatant cluster-fuck like Michael Bay's movies), and it features sword fighting ninjas with jetpacks, among a million other things... it's one of those movies who not only is proud and unapologetic about its own nature, but it's also directed with a certain savoir fare. It's overall enjoyable and I couldn't stop yelling "G.I.JOE!!!!" for a while after that. And before you say anything, know this, I'm a film critic that every year goes to Venice Film Festival to watch so-called "Film d'Autor". So, I have an open mind about what to base my criticism from.Sunrider84 said:
I believe Moviebob can explain why that movie is awesome better than me. Check his video review.
Anyway, it's ultimately just an individual opinion, just like yours
I wouldn't have said anything about your arguments even if you didn't tell me you're a film critic and whatnot, don't worry about that, I just thought it was probably the worst action movie made in the history of over-the-top action movies.
Though we won't get anywhere with this, so I'll just drop it.
Cool effects though!
I was a kid in the 90's and ya know what? I thought the 90's was a damn fine decade. I think you're jumping to conclusions though. Even if the 90's are coming back, it'll take some time. I'm only now noticing 80's fashion return to the world. We have to endure the horrors of the 80's before we can glimpse the splendor of the 90's.
Can't be possibly worse than "Revenge of the Fallen".Sunrider84 said:You just made me a really sad panda. =( I cannot for the life of me imagine why someone would like that movie.Adrian Madhog said:I really, seriously think (as a film critic who was never a fan of the original product) that "G.I.

You thought GI joe was a good movie, your opinion is therefore invalid.[/quote]
Again, same thing I said to the other person:

I disagree. Not saying RotF was good (it was pretty damn bad), but not worse than G.I.Joe.Adrian Madhog said:Can't be possibly worse than "Revenge of the Fallen".Sunrider84 said:You just made me a really sad panda. =( I cannot for the life of me imagine why someone would like that movie.Adrian Madhog said:I really, seriously think (as a film critic who was never a fan of the original product) that "G.I.

Like any decade there are pros and cons. Awesome rock/metal and the variants like grunge, and then there's cheesy Euro pop. Oh God, and boybands. Let the Nineties return by all means, but let's put Louie Walsh far into the desert. He can lecture the camels about how they just didn't own those grunting noises they make.
I hated the 90's. Though I was only six when they ended. Looking back as a teenager I see the 90's as horrible mistake, a painful transition we had to suffer in order to get where we are today. For a few reasons. The movies (most of them, there were some really good ones), the music, the television (apart from cartoons, 90's cartoons were definitely the best) and the clunky, grey computers with dial-up internet.
Also this:
Really, this was considered fashion?
Also remember this?
I loved it at the time, but I was five...
Also OP, the GI Joe movie sucked balls.
