The Big Fat Mine Field Thread of 90s Nostalgia

[Mirah]

Saturday morning cartoons. When did they stop? Definitely by 2008. We've already covered Batman: TAS and Animaniacs, but Earthworm Jim was classic. Freakazoid was OK. And forget Jim Nye, I loved Beakman's World--especially when Josie was the sidekick.

They stopped when I turned 10.

It's from 1991, but the part where Robert Patrick walks through the bars (and everything else, really) still looks so good. OF COURSE if it was made today with the exact same effects but shot on our modern cameras it wouldn't look as good, I know that. But it still feels special. I think because there weren't that many effects shots that good at the time they really get the most out of what they do and sell them. Now you'd have a million Robert Patricks walking through a million bars all the time while the camera spins around and stuff and it would cost EIGHTY BILLION DOLLARS and you'd forget it right away. Sorry, I don't want to be an old many moaning about things being better BACK THEN, I'm just saying it's a really impressively made movie that is still super impressive watching it back now.

Well they have now. I remember an fairly decent 90s video game that was based on the arcade classic Whack-a-Mole, but it was Whack-a-Spice Girl.
