Poll: Run for your lives... the 90's are coming back!

[funguy2121]

And one more thing...what was so great about the ot's? Was the last decade, characterized by hatred, fear and American Idol, really so much better than the era of The Fugees, of Pulp Fiction and Heat and Braveheart, of ACTUALLY GOOD First Person Shooters? No.

Wow, thats certainly not a dumb comparrison. Lemme try.

Was that sarcasm regarding the comparrison, Mr. Garrison? You didn't really do much trying, Mr. Snarkymouth.

Did we look again?

If this means a world without Justin bieber and all that POP crap. Definitely a yes.

Are we noticing a pattern that all pop groups except Micheal Jackson sound just as completely fucking terrible?

Hey, at least it can compensate for great bands like Greenday, Nirvana, Blink 182 and the rest.

.....

Okay, first of all I just had a brain annyerism because someone called Blink 182 great.

Second, and what does that make Disturbed, Airbourne, Kanye West and the rest?

Unless "Airbourne" is short for Airborne Toxic Event, it makes all of them tired and sub-par and, in the case of Kanye West, it makes him batshit. Agreed on Blink though. I think they did one song that I enjoyed. Shame, really. Travis Barker really can groove.

Oh, right, cause no entertainer in human history has ever said something stupid and egotistical

*COUGH* BIGGERTHANJESUS*COUGH*

And if you're honestly gonna tell me this


is subpar, then I would have to ask you to return your ears cause yopu're clearly using them wrong.

They're in the mail. Not that this is a Van Gogh thing...

Yup. Subpar.

Edit: (from the genius): Art is subjective. Bro.

i grew up in that decade (born 1992) and even i knew it sucked, the decade after was an improvement in much the same way one thumb screw is an improvement over 2. i have a slight amount of hope left for this decade (woot 2011) as gaming seems to have become a norm for <25-30 and you can loudly call someone an idiot if they cant at least use word and internet explorer...

 

[For.I.Am.Mad]

They're really not, but you might think that because the media overlords are stuck in the past.

You know they didn't write that song right? Personally I feel Disturbed is a subpar band with enough material for crazy live shows. The place they make up for the IMO boring albums. You're right on the rest though, funguys comment was way out there.

As for the nineties, I miss Biker Mice From Mars and Beastwars

 

[Amondren]

Looks like I'll be born again.

 

[Hollock]

Yeah, it's happening. Can't wait for the reboot of legends of the hidden temple.

 

[SilentCom]

I want to watch Johnny Bravo and Invader Zim again. If those two shows were brought back (and not screwed up) then I would be happy.

 

[DustyDrB]

It's that 20 year cycle. Hopefully this means everyone will be jamming to Pavement. I wasn't into the 80s revival of the last decade because I freaking hate the pop culture of the 80s, but I can definitely get into a 90s revival.

I actually loved the first two Scream movies (third one was bad, though. But it came out in 2000). Aren't they meant to be more Horror parody than actual horror? They might be the only horror movies I do like if they do count for that genre, but it's because I think they're funny (I love the meta stuff).

 

[Wintermoot]

I think the 90,s are a bit to young for a return. Also the 90,s kinda sucked.

 

[Adrian Madhog]

If you check the title and the poll, you'll notice that we're talking about the '90... since it was basically a cultural mash-up bridge between the '80s and the '00s, it's understandable why people can get abused, or why some of its aspects are being (not)rightfully underestimated).

 

[BlackStar42]

I just want good cartoons back. Dexter's Lab, Ed Edd and Eddy, DBZ(I know, not technically a cartoon)and Megas XLR. Those were proper cartoons! The stuff on Cartoon Network now is shit.

 

[Dylan Voyda]

It would only be cool if only 90's music was played on the radio.

It was a could decade for that

 

[Dys]

Please fuck give us back 90s music. I mean, 90s pop was probably mostly crap, but it was varied crap...I can, god forbid, enjoy shitty music so long as it isn't all exactly the fucking same shitty music...

 

[Fidelias]

Are you serious? Please tell me you're not serious.

I'm only 20 years old, and I still remember watching that stuff throughout the early to mid-90's. It's not that old.

I'm kind of split on these movies though. On the one hand, I'd love them to make movies based off my favorite childhood shows and movies, but on the other hand, I don't want them to ruin it.

 

[Adrian Madhog]

(On the other hand, that "G.I.Joe" movie was pretty good)

>G.I.Joe
>good

I SERIOUSLY hope you were being sarcastic here, and I was just being an idiot for not noticing. Please tell me this is the case.

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.
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

You just made me a really sad panda. =( I cannot for the life of me imagine why someone would like that movie.
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!

Can't be possibly worse than "Revenge of the Fallen".

I disagree. Not saying RotF was good (it was pretty damn bad), but not worse than G.I.Joe.

At least, in "G.I.Joe" you can actually understand what in the world is going on in the action sequences... when I think back on any Michael Bay movie ever made, ALL I can think of is a blurry mess with no shape, the sunlight burning my eyeballs and some American flag peeking from an angle... and that umbelievable twat that also starred in the fourth Indiana Jones movie (a whole legacy of Suck!)

Well, understanding what is going on is easy in G.I.Joe, since it has the most predictable plot I've ever seen.

I don't agree... but at it least it IS a plot, with some genuine bits of self-consciousness... not a total utter mess with no pacing, no plot, no basys, no characterization, no funny jokes, no good special effects, no direction, no FILM... but with some racism.
Oh boy, do I love to hate Michael Bay? He makes it sooooooooooooo easy!

 

[meowchef]

The most exciting prospect of a 90's return to me is Alice in Chains and Soundgarden.

Hurray.

 

[joebthegreat]

People who lump it into specific periods of ten years are stupid. The early 90s and late 80s have more in common than the early 80s and the late 80s.

Also: Nostalgia and their Rose-Tinted Glasses need to die off. A lot of things were fun to you as a kid. If you honestly go back and reevaluate them you'll notice just how ridiculous some of the things you enjoyed were. ALSO, it is a rule that any modern day take on a really good nostalgic series will be about as good as fanfiction. There will be many plot holes, lot's of the cannon will be thrown out for convenience, and the characters will be ruined by the writer's loving them too much.

See Yahtzee's rant: "This is why franchises shouldn't be continued when the writers are such big fans of the source material. Just look at Dr. Who" (Don't remember the exact quote or what video it's from, if anyone remembers could they help me out?)

See also the Nostalgia Critic: HERE [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic], and pick one of your favorite nostalgic movies (he does 80s and 90s)

I work in retail and saw a little girl last fall, barely thirteen, wearing a black leather jacket (with zippers all over it as was the fashion), a concert t-shirt dated '95, and a plaid meenie skirt. I could not tell if she was wearing Doc Martins. I looked her in the eyes, laughed and said "I remember when your Mom wore that!"

A year before that I saw another little girl wearing a green headband, a gray sweatshirt with the collar torn off and pulled down to expose her left shoulder, tights and ankle warmers. She was working on some photos at a kiosk while a woman closer to my age did the same. She finished walked away and I locked eyes on the older woman and we said in unison "Flashdance!"
