The Big Fat Mine Field Thread of 90s Nostalgia

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.

Cameron wanted a liquid metal terminator for the original, but the FX weren't there yet that it could be done convincingly and within budget, so we got Ahnuld/stop-motion robot for "Terminator" and when the FX had come along enough and Cameron could get a bigger budget, he did it for T2. And if you look at the two plots, they're almost identical with the minor changes of John being the target and Ahnuld being the good guy.
 
Yeah, I always thought of T2 as a higher budget remake of the original, more or less. I still kinda prefer the original.
 
 
No. That was the day I realized my local alternative radio station had been bought out by a corporation and destroyed forever.
