I know the point here is satirical, but this picture gives me a sad.

Fun fact that few people remember: Jeanine Pirro was planning to run against Hillary Clinton in the Senate until it was discovered she'd signed the forms for her husband to do a whole bunch of tax evasion.

Eh, I still see every one of his new movies. I don't mind the bad ones so much as the half-baked ones. Magic in the Moonlight felt like an outline he spent half an hour jotting down on the back of a napkin.

I used to make this wish for Alicia Silverstone, until she became an anti-vaxxer/militant vegan/general crazy person.

Winona Ryder. Yeah, I know she's done plenty of stuff in the past few years, but it would be nice to see her break out from the Somebody's Mother phase of her career.

I have this conspiracy theory that Hall and Oates are just David Mitchell and Robert Webb dressed up.

No can do?

I wonder how many of these places were built just because the owner had some spare land? One sold in my neck of the woods, and there were at least three plausible, completely different explanations for why it was built:

I wrote one about Blue Velvet, and I'm pretty sure we watched Pulp Fiction in class time, too. The nineties were a great time to be in college.

At least they could have added "But Jenny Prefers Paperclips".

Smart and sexy - so of course, she must be secretly troubled!

Millenial Pink sounds like a dirty anime.

Is it just me, or is there something unintentionally hilarious about the title 'A Crow Looked At Me'?

Falling Down is one of those films that was so huge and seemed so era-defining at the time, but seems completely forgotten today. I wonder why?

That feels pretty true to the time, though. The message of the whole movie was "There is no greater sin than to sell out," and boy was that the motto of the nineties.

It was a proto-90s movie, for sure. The fact that there were so many fair-to-middling imitations of it in the 90s (Mean Girls, Jawbreaker, etc) speaks for itself.

Reality Bites was basically a fantasy fulfilment movie for teenagers who couldn't wait to be hip twentysomethings.

This always bothered me about Big. Setting aside the whole thing about hiring some random guy, wouldn't his blatantly false social security number have set off alarm bells at payroll? How the heck did he get the loan on that huge apartment?

That whole obsession with other decades was part and parcel of the era, though. I think why I liked Dazed and Confused so much at the time was because it was a rejection of the 1960s nostalgia that was shoved down our throats so much in the early 90s.

When it comes to films from the nineties which seemed like classics at the time but really haven't stood up at all, Chasing Amy is my number one pick.
