He looked like the healthiest, fittest dude ever.

Yeah, aside from horrified shock, that was my immediate thought. Marvel didn't capitalize on an immediate sequel, because they were well aware Boseman was going through treatment and hoping he could pull through. The fact that he was doing this treatment for four years makes his black panther work even more…

There was also a lot of speculation about why a Black Panther sequel was so far down on the schedule. I have a sinking suspicion Kevin Feige et al knew how serious the situation was.

There was a photo of him online from about a year ago where he looked really gaunt. I remember people saying he was a naturally skinny guy who bulked up to play Black Panther and that it wasn’t a big deal, but I guess that wasn’t the case.

“Is this your king?”  Yes.  Yes, now and forever.

Yeah, they somehow kept it quiet for four years. While he was filming all those movies. Understandable. 

Wakanda forever! ;_;

Floored by this news.

RIP to the king. Wakanda forever!

I remember when Swordfish had the “bullet time!” moment and I just thought, well, there goes that trend into the grave.

Spin Doctors?!?! Spin Doctors were almost completely over by 1995 or so. I should know, as the random idiot who got really into Spin Doctors right around 1995. 

The difference is that while low rise jeans look good on a tiny number of people and horrible on everyone else, high waisted mom jeans look equally unflattering on everyone. They’re much more democratic.

I don’t think today’s mom jeans resurgence is really any more flattering than the low rise stuff.

I remember feeling like U2's “Beautiful Day” was inescapable that fall— people were so relieved that the ‘experimental’ Zooropa/Pop era was over, coupled with the misplaced optimism about the new millennium.

For me, it’s definitely websites formatted as slideshows.
A throwback to earlier times that couldn’t load more than one image at once and measured advertising impact by the dumbest metric known.

Bullet time in EVERYTHING!!!

Kinda like certain Scorcese movies (Casino, Goodfellas, Wolf of Wall Street). You get drawn in by the fantasy of being rich, well-dressed, respected, answering to nobody, and desirable to women. There are few men on Earth who are all set with the amount of money, sex and power they currently have.

American Psycho much like Fight Club has a message, but the often loud fanbase seemed to have missed the point. High Fidelity and from 99' Election seem to suffer from this too. The sort of thing that made Dave Chappelle run away and rethink he whole career in ways. 

Virgin Suicides is a movie that I still see popular with the new batch of youngsters. Something about that movie just easily takes me back to the strangeness of being a teenager and the frustration of not being able to communicate these feelings of wanting things that were intangible for the first time.

I still need to watch Emma. The only other adaptation I’ve seen is, well, Clueless, and back then I didn’t know it was a modernized retelling of one of Jane Austen’s novels.
