If you could spend 1 year to live and experience, which movie would it be and why?
I honestly would love to be in Can't Hardly Wait. It's 1998 and you just graduated high school. You're most likely going to college and having a great time. What's not to enjoy? It's all before 9/11 which makes it even better.
*same*
I'd like to spend a year hanging out with these cats at Cyberdelia
Shit I forgot this existed. I really miss 1995; it's where the 90's truly began in my opinion.
Way before my time but it seemed like such a great time to be young
>groundhog day
Could do whatever I wanted everyday without there being consequences.
probably a porn movie where they do coke and extasy
This is a good one. This was the last day of HS in 1976. Probably the best time to be a teen in the 70's because it's after Vietnam so no worries there and you get to experience the 80's in your 20's.
Music was comfy as fuck at that time and plenty of good films going to be released soon.
Yeah, but you're stuck in that town. If I was living a Groundhog Day time loop in my own area, I'd like the liberty of doing stuff outside of my familiarity.
Gravity
Shit film but at least I get some peace and quiet for a change
Lord of the rings. I want to be a ranger of ithillien.
Fucking this
The year 2015 from Back to the Future 2.
Triumph of the Will. >:^D
better to make it one of those JAV's where rape is legal
>rape is legal
Just move to Japan.
are gaijin allowed in the rape clubs?
Scream, but without the killing.
this, without a shadow of a doubt.
>ywn hang with your friends on the upper levels, smoking sitting on the edge of the balcony, talking about hacking, social engineering, living like cyberpunks
I agree with this. Being a Cali teenager in 1996 would be fun as fuck. Just convince your family to take a vacation or something around the time of the murders so that you don't have to deal with it.
You know, Marty's town seemed like a nice place to live.
youtube.com
>1985 town in California
>Nice downtown area with mom and pop shops
I'd actually kill to experience a year there.
In 20 years time:
>Dude, being a teenager in 2016 must have been so fun!
>all chicks are gross
no, thanks.
I guess. Things are all relative when it comes to nostalgia, but I didn't grow up as a teen in the 90's. I was 5 when Scream came out so I'm more familiar with the 2000's as my teen years. But at least back then, they weren't infected with SJWism like we do today and I say this as a liberal whose now a bit jaded.
I can't even imagine what the cultural landscape is gonna look like 20 years from now.
I saw this when I was a kid and thought that's how life would be when I grew up
It was not
It was filled with violence and trauma and now I can't relate to anyone because they all lived in a different world
The one on the right seems okay. Holy shit, I never noticed that Asian dude there before!
Besides there's bound to be some hot girls in that school.
fucking this desu
Same here.
High school was actually really fucking boring and dragged on way too much. College is where it's at.
I wanted this kind of life so bad... I must have watched this movie in high school at least 100 times
Ever see Everybody Wants Some? It's by the same guys who made Dazed and Confused, it's entertaining. I'd kill to spend freshman year in 1980.
I dropped out and just got drunk as fuck for a while and then went to uni. I'm late to the party but 29 with a law degree is better than a drop out with nothing.
Life is only just starting to reveal that it isn't completely shit
I haven't but you're the third person to mention it so I'm going to dl it now.
I'm not sure it'll be the same.
The technological shift from 96 to 2016 seems more stark than what I could imagine 2016 to 2036. The rise of the internet is a huge difference between the two.
1985 Hill Valley was the worst though.
>homeless everywhere
>trash everywhere
>clock tower still broken
>porn shops and theaters
>black mayor
>everyone moved out to the suburbs
no, she's gross.
I graduated years ago, but I feel like I'm going nowhere in my life. Thinking about going back to school, but not sure if I can hack it again.
Do it. I wasn't disappointed and loved every minute. I like the fact that the 80's are starting to be depicted in movies and shows now.
Online university is my godsend. You skip the travel, you skip the bullshit lectures, you study when you want to.
I just wanted to live in a Hackers type cyberpunk world, but with Can't Hardly wait type excitement / friends, because I didn't really go to parties. Everything got way weird after 9/11, then turned to shit somewhere around 2007.
1995 was one of the best years of all time. 97,98,99 and 2000 were badass.
It doesn't look that bad in comparison to what I grew up. I was one of the few white kids in my town. I actually got chased down the block by packs of blacks and Hispanics during grade school. Even got into quite a few scrapes. I won some and I definitely lost some (even busted my lip badly). And at least there was the Twin Pines Mall nearby and some semblance of order.
>tfw will never relive 1999
One of the best years, ever.
>1995 was one of the best years of all time. 97,98,99 and 2000 were badass.
Are you my astral twin or something? 1995 to 2000 are legitimately my favorite years. There's just something about the movies, music, and the culture that make it comfy.
1999 was amazing in America, easily the height of my childhood. It lasted a short 2 years before everyone's buttholes tightly clammed up and decided it was not time to have fun anymore.
>The rise of the internet is a huge difference between the two.
This
The Internet in 1996 is nothing compared to what we have today. High-speed was something us 56k dial-up could only dream of having. Same thing with streaming and torrents.
Hell, the whole idea behind Social Networking with Facebook made AOL Instant Messenger obsolete since its chat already does it. FB is everything; it's an appointment book, a way to reach out to old friends, keeps you up-to-date with news and trends, etc.
I'd like to have a Groundhog day on 9/11 to see how many different outcomes would happen.
Remember all that hype over y2k? It's amazing how people overreacted over nothing.
How difficult is it to get in?
Yeah, early "social networking" ala AOL, Yahoo, MSN Chat and forums, to me, is more preferable to today's FB dominance.
In one of the planes? Or just yourself where you were on September 11, 2001?
Honestly, I'd like to warn everyone and prevent the Twin Towers from being attacked and those flights being hijacked, but there's no feasible way to do without the government wondering how the fuck do I know what's going.
>that flamboyantly gay puerto rican hacker
truly this is where the SJW agenda began amirite fellow Sup Forumss
Yep, there was variety and much more simplistic. I actually miss MSN a lot.
911 was the end of goofing off and being optimistic all the time. I think that lasted from 79-01 so that's a huge stretch.
2008 was the end of thinking you'd have a job and a home and be safe in retirement just because you weren't retarded. For the past 9 years jobs have been dropping and wages stagnating while prices increasing. The stress is palpable.
You combine the two and there's no room for optimism and fun anymore.
also if the conspiracy nuts are right you would be disappeared in a nanosecond
he was hilarious tho
also he played the tranny in Con Air
>How difficult is it to get in?
Depends on the uni, the course, your experience/qualifications.
There are plenty of eras before 9/11 you could chose and you chose the late 90's? Why? the late 90's was just as bad as the early 00's.
Nope. It was already starting to bear fruit by the early 90's.
This 1993 clip from Kids In the Hall predicted what we'd be dealing with:
youtube.com
Not to mention PCU (1994). The whole movie easily takes jabs at SJWs are in the 2010's.
Yeah, we really took a nosedive in feel-good the past 15 years.
Not trying to tip any fedoras but I dont even have facebook. Or any social media.
Deleting all that shit was one of the most liberating things Ive ever done.
As soon my uncle sent me a friend request all that shit was gone.
These movies takes place during 24 hours. Would you spend a year in those 24 hours like Groundhog Day or would you spend time before and after the movie takes place but within the movie universe?
>1999 lasted two years
u wot m8?
>would you spend time before and after the movie takes place but within the movie universe?
I think within a year of that movie universe is what we're getting at. In the case of Can't Hardly Wait and Dazed & Confused, it's starting from the end of school which is where both films begin to next year's end of school.
Actually, I'd kill to spend a year in the universe of Ferris Bueller Can't Lose. I bet a ton of fun shit happened in that high school. The same for The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, or Pretty in Pink.
>rise of political correctness correlates with the beginning of third wave feminism
coincidence?
one of the comfiest films from when I was a kid
Possibly, I just see it as a natural occurrence since both rely on Critical Theory.
Look, there's a clear difference between not being an ignorant asshole and being a PC fucktard. I'm not going to denigrate anyone for their sexual identity or orientation. Or underestimate anyone whose female in the workplace, sports, academia, etc.
But on the other hand, don't spout out shit like the white cisgender patriarchy is the root of all evil in this world, blah blah blah. White privilege scum and all that jazz.
Many if not most white Americans don't subscribe to that shit, but if you keep demonizing them as the enemy because they don't adhere to your defined vision of the world, no shit they're gonna lash back like they did in the 2016 election.
Whatever happened to people being chill and letting things be what they are?
>1999 was amazing in America
Nah, pop culture between 1998-2004 was shit.
>Nu-metal
>Ugly fashion
>Goth
>Everything is edgy and it's always dark raining
The Matrix movies are the fucking epitome of that era. Makes me wanna puke.
iktfb
I have a dummy facebook for tinder, and instagram just for pictures storage where I add noone outside my immediate circle
When I see people they always tell me shit and act surprised I didn't know, because everyone just publishes their life on FB now
Yea I remember that new years and the subtle tension of all the adults who didn't quite understand technology and thought the grid was going to collapse.
the "90's" time period for most people ends sept 11 2001 because that is when the mood changed from fun to bleak.
>the "90's" time period for most people ends sept 11 2001 because that is when the mood changed from fun to bleak.
QFT
January 1, 2000 up until September 10, 2001 was still an extension of the 90's. That happens more frequently than you think like 1980 being a continuation of the 70's and 1990-1991 still having vestiges of the 80's.
>going back to high school where i had a shit time
haha also
>living in a universe that is the same as ours
you could choose literally any fucking good universe, like star trek or something
being offended by shit is trendy right now
the pendulum will swing back, at least I hope
>The Matrix movies are the fucking epitome of that era
did you forget about all the fantasy movies thanks to lotr?
>because that is when the mood changed from fun to bleak.
I think it changed before 9/11. Just look at this music video from 1999
youtube.com
This is typical late 90's/early 00's pop culture. I don't know how young you were in 99 but probably too young so you only remember kids stuff and those things are always fun and colorful, no matter the era.
I disagree. I fondly remember late nights of THPS on my N64, a six pack of surge and 3000 free minutes of AOL. Weekends at the dad's were childhood kino.
>you could choose literally any fucking good universe, like star trek or something
lol geek
I hope so.
What really boggles my fucking mind is how smug and pretentious the left-wing can be toward anyone in flyover states. It's a serious divide and we might eventually see another Civil War over this.
Is that fucking Dennis Reynolds?
No it's Chris Griffin.
so, so much this
>Silverchair
Damn, I almost forgot about them.
Remember MonsterVision on TNT? And when USA Network wasn't taken over by Universal to churn out reruns of Law & Order?
Yup, people started having a bleak outlook on the future way before 9/11. I'd say 1997 was the year everything became dark and gloomy. 9/11 was just topping on the cake.
Remember going to blockbuster to rent Anaconda and getting your pokemon snap stickers printed on their big machine.
Her was comfy as fuck
>future LA, but not beating you over the head with new technology/cyber punk culture
>socially acceptable to date AI's
>apartments look like the one I own already, though a little nicer
I'm not sure that's a mood change, really. That seems more like post-Grunge stuff than overall mood.
Then again, I can't really recall everything about 2000 -- other than having fun as a kid.
its not about being trendy its about lawsuits. once you find a way to sue for discrimination on all sorts of grounds, thats the end of everything, because people are consistently waiting to get discriminated against for a payday
i expect discrimination payouts werent as common due to media not reporting on them in previous decades, but now that everyone knows theres blood in the water it's never going to change
Oh yeah. I'm grateful for Netflix and streaming, but video rental was so much a part of growing up that you didn't mind doing it.
Absolutely this
welp it's one of those threads boys guess i'll post it
>I want to spend one year in nu-male paradise
you should tweet about it on your iphone 37
Did they? Why was that? Why did the late 90's have a gloomier atmosphere?
the western states started their corporalist policy in the 70s. The population has been consistently getting poorer since then. But it only started to be pretty bad in the late 90s, along with mass economic immigration, rise of violence, etc.
>do this today
>someone calls the cops
>someone punches you
>someone says dont film me thats illegal
What happened? People hate each other now. Was this a small town? In cities people are more hateful
This video... it just makes me sad.
I remember the Woodstock concert of 1999 being a gloomy example of the times.
People being raped and assaulted during the concert. Lighting the place on fire.
What said and also pop culture becoming more and more edgy and dark. Marilyn Manson, School shootings inspired by his music and violent edgy video games, comics and movies like Spawn and The Crow, The Matrix etc. Shit was just gloomy so it became cool and hip to be "nihilistic", and not the fun nihilism like punk rock was. I've always associated the late 90's with the color grey.
Scott Piligrim.
You can get superpowers and a cute gf by beating her exes. Also, comfy as fuck ost.
Sure, Gaijin women.
something about the changing times periods but it all still felt the same, with each new decade
uber comfy
>I've always associated the late 90's with the color grey.
Huh. I've never really put thought into it, but I definitely associate the late 90's with grey as well. How odd.
>I honestly would love to be in Can't Hardly Wait
Me too, but only if I get to be turned into JLH's bras for that year
