Puréed essence of the mid-2000s.

>>1137 That was one of the only Adult Swim shows I ever got into, around the same time I was just getting into metal. I'll always remember the "food library" bit. I might have to revisit the show sometime.

I've found this a while ago when I was trying to familiarize myself with Singapore. I think I will use this thread to post similar things whenever I come across them. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Kstf6FXBpAY

>>1315 I just got done watching that. It was pretty good.

>>1137 Good shit. I also watched Aqua Teen Hunger Force. >>871 The episodes where Lisa became a vegetarian and Buddhist should have been the signs of the obnoxious preacher she would become in later seasons. Her ruining the pig BBQ pissed me off even as a kid considering the pig was already dead. Amazing how that inspired similar failed vegan "protests" today. The same thing happened in Family Guy with Brian, although his change was far more drastic. Somehow the writers for Brian thought it was smart to make him an atheist despite him also having met Jesus. I'm not sure if he was actually religious in the early seasons, but he was definitely far less of an asshole.

Her ruining the pig BBQ pissed me off even as a kid considering the pig was already dead. Amazing how that inspired similar failed vegan "protests" today. Absolutely. She was a complete bitch even then.

The first season of Rugrats is actually very funny.

>>1405 >Somehow the writers for Brian thought it was smart to make him an atheist despite him also having met Jesus South Park is also weird like that, with various characters witnessing other deities' gods performing miracles and retaining their religions. It's not meant to be consistent, those shows are episodic with their beliefs played for laughs.

>27 posts >still no CN City

>>1449 That was the time Cartoon Network started circling the drain for me.

>>1433 Rugrats has a lot more jokes/references aimed at adults than I realized, especially if you pay attention to the adults' conversations between scenes with the babies. I'll probably re-watch the first couple seasons at some point to see what else I missed. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=1vs55Z7t7bk https://yewtu.be/watch?v=j-MA9jBfMT8 https://yewtu.be/watch?v=wv5Eb26VAIQ

>>1449 >31 posts >still no Boomerang https://yewtu.be/watch?v=_3X-76GO8vE >>1460 Thanks, I forgot what those were called. Yogi Bear Jam is actually better than I remembered. Who did the music for Boomerang/Cartoon Network? Even for commercials and bumpers a lot of the sound production or songs they made were really good.

>>1463 I used to wake up early on Saturday mornings and watch the Boomerang stuff when it would come on Cartoon Network, like Herculoids and the original Space Ghost series. I wanted the actual channel as a kid but never got it.

>>1464 I had it for a few years with Time Warner, but later they dropped it along with a bunch of other channels my parents watched. I still watched it on occasion at my aunt and uncle's house when I visited because they paid for a bunch of extra channels. My uncle was surprised kids were interested in the classic Hanna Barbera shows he grew up watching, and actually enjoyed re-watching them with us when he had time. Too bad it's used now as a dumping ground for relatively recent CN shows. Even some early 2000s shows they haven't aired in years would fit better considering they're close to 20 years old now. If millenials still watched TV they could even re-use classic bumpers like CN City or Powerhouse for nostalgia. Boomerang is a re-run network anyway. Nostalgia is its main purpose.

My uncle was surprised kids were interested in the classic Hanna Barbera shows he grew up watching, and actually enjoyed re-watching them with us when he had time. I was just as interested in older shows as newer ones as a kid, maybe even more. One of my favorite shows on Cartoon Network was ToonHeads, but they stopped airing that not that long after I first discovered it. I guess I was interested in history even before I thought of it as history Nowadays I'm even more of a grognard than I was then. >Too bad it's used now as a dumping ground for relatively recent CN shows.

Channels like MeTV do the same thing too from what I've heard. I haven't been a regular TV viewer in a long time, but it kind of defeats the whole point to me to have newer stuff on a channel dedicated to classic boomer TV shows. I miss the experience of sitting down and watching TV, but there's no going back for me after discovering torrents as a teenager. What sucks is that a lot of the torrents that interest me are completely dead.

>>1466 >I miss the experience of sitting down and watching TV, but there's no going back for me after discovering torrents as a teenager. Pretty much. Even though TV is nice to just sit down and watch something, it's hard to beat being able to look up anything you want and not have to sit through commercials. Even if Boomerang didn't have commercials, you still had to wait for the exact hour or half-hour for a show to air. >MeTV I forgot about it. It has a mix of classic shows and cartoons, but doesn't have the full cartoon catalog Boomerang does. It's also has commercials which I don't have the patience to sit through anymore.

>>1466 >I was just as interested in older shows as newer ones as a kid Same. It probably helped that older cartoons were just trying to be entertaining while modern cartoons more often had to start adding educational or moral lessons. (usually due to outside influence) Not having to wait for new episodes was also a plus. Most of the time I watched episodes of Jetsons, Looney Tunes, etc it was something I hadn't seen before.

>>1467 Yeah, the commercials are a deal breaker for me nowadays. I have zero patience for them anymore. I'd rather just download a bunch of episodes of a show or buy it on physical media than sit through them. Even if it's better on paper, it kind of feels cheap though. I remember how big of a big deal it felt like when a show I liked would come on compared to watching episodes at my own convenience. >>1468 >Not having to wait for new episodes was also a plus. Most of the time I watched episodes of Jetsons, Looney Tunes, etc it was something I hadn't seen before. I remember really liking the Jetsons movie from the '80s as a really little kid, which I think was actually considered a piece of crap. As bad of a reputation as Hanna-Barbera has, I always liked The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and Jonny Quest. Scooby-Doo was kind of repetitive to me, but I still enjoyed that too. That also goes for the '70s stuff with Scrappy Doo and the celebrity guest stars. I even liked the direct-to-video stuff, although I never saw anything after Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase.

>>1472 >As bad of a reputation as Hanna-Barbera has To be fair a lot of their reputation was with their cheap animation and Scooby-Doo knockoffs. (Some of them I didn't mind, but I would have gotten sick of them sooner without watching other shows.) The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and Jonny Quest were all good. Even Jetsons just being "Flintstones in the future" was more creative than most of their Scooby-Doo knockoffs. >I even liked the direct-to-video stuff The direct to video Scooby Doo movies in the 90s/early 2000s were great. It was actually cool watching them deal with actual supernatural stuff instead of a guy in a mask. >it kind of feels cheap though. I remember how big of a big deal it felt like when a show I liked would come on compared to watching episodes at my own convenience You're right. It's not as special to watch a show at anytime compared to when you waited until 7p on a Friday night for that new episode to come out. It doesn't help that younger generations are getting less patient and have shorter attention spans. I think the most special TV moments to me were the series finales of Avatar & Ed Edd n Eddy, especially considering most shows on Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network would end quietly instead. >Avatar had gone through a couple hiatuses >out of nowhere we get this trailer I still re-watch today https://yewtu.be/watch?v=5avd9_8rXH0 >that week in July finally comes >new episodes every night finishing off with the final movie on Friday >Ed Edd n Eddy advertises its final movie >we straight up got a 24 hour marathon of every episode finishing off with the movie premiere >Cartoon Network wanted to give a proper send-off for its longest running series and fucking delivered My siblings and I were hyped for weeks waiting. Moments like that you can't replicate with livestreaming. It's not the same.

Do you guys know any similar 90s cyberpunk or internet related movies with similar aesthetics? I fucking love this shit, especially Hackers

>>1734 More similar to Johnny Mnemonic, Strange Days Lawnmower Man Closest think to Hackers is probably Anti-trust.

>>1734 Matrix

>>1734 One lesser known cyberpunk movie from the 90s is Ghost in the Machine (1993), very cheesy with lots of dated CGI and "computers are magic" moments, but still a delight to watch. >>1761 >Strange Days Man I fucking loved that movie, leagues above JM too.

>>1764 >Ghost in the Machine (1993), very cheesy with lots of dated CGI and "computers are magic" moments Nice, need to check it out.

>>1766 Why is Big Eyeball Man scarfing down sausage links?

>>1798 Cause he's tubular.

>sci-fi >traditional 2D animation mixed with CGI >nu-metal soundtrack Titan A.E. the epitome of Y2K

>>2016 (CY+1) Been meaning to watch it. It's strange how that poster looks like a game/movie poster from the late 2000s, but it's actually from the beginning of the decade.

>>2033 It was a good movie. Not nearly as cringe as what would come out starting at the end of the decade. Really tried to remain grounded but also blatantly incorporated the dropships from mechwarrior as "terraforming ships" It deserved to be a cult classic since it also had the most alien depiction of aliens I've ever seen in visual fiction. Board owner. WHY THE FUCK DO WE HAVE TO TYPE TWO FUCKING CAPTCHKAS!? "YOU NEED TO PASS A BLOCK TO MAKE THIS POST!"

I need lesser-known /retro/ Christmas kino. Not interested in shit everyone's seen like Home Alone. Preferably with "wholesome" elements (and curse the reddit faggots who've tainted that word)

Recently I watched a documentary from the eraly 2000's about ufos. They really put some effort doing this sick animation for the purpose. Really like the vibe and the music.

>>2806 Nice find anon, that animation is cool. Source?

>>2807 It's a french documentary by Pascal Carron named En quête d'ovnis. You can watch it here : https://yewtu.be/watch?v=HrsJ8jPwF88

I'm surprised no-one mentioned The Matrix, which I think embodied the 90s "leather trenchcoats and twin uzis are awesome" edge and 00s "the computer is going to kill us all" fear better than almost any film ever made. It's a shame the rest of the series became total Hollywood garbage, but I suppose that's to be expected when the initial movie is such an absolutely stellar product. The cultural impact this movie had almost defies description. Even phrases like redpill and bluepill have endured decades after the film itself has faded from memory. The cultural wake this movie cast was massive. >the cinematic concept of "bullet time," which is now used in everything >the 360 shot of Trinity hanging in the air about to jump-kick (which just so happens to get a great panorama view of her ass in skintight leather) >the shot of Trinity jumping from roof to roof across the street during the opening >Neo dodging bullets >Neo stopping bullets with his mind >"there is no spoon" boy >Morpheus's reflective black pince-nez glasses, which suits him perfectly despite sounding incredibly fucking stupid There were parodies and homages to this fucking everywhere, from other blockbuster films to Flash animations. One of my personal favorites: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=P4lxoqAVm00 I just finished watching it over a couple of nights. Some of the CGI and martial arts are dated or silly-looking, but there's a surprising amount of it that holds up well. I recall hearing once that for some of the more advanced CG shots, the Wachowski brothers took truly inhumanly detailed computer scans of actors likenesses - I'm talking terabytes of visual data at a time when a Compact Disc was new. Perhaps more than just the film's quality and effects was its packaging of philosophical ideas in a way that modern audiences could understand. The information age was and still is unsatisfying and hollow, and there have been hundreds of millions of men like Neo who wish they could wake up from what feels like a dream or facade. Lots of them are like Cypher, and will ultimately be consumed by the machine or choose to be consumed by it because they don't have faith the way Morpheus and Trinity do (the only ones who survive by the end, along with Tank the tech guy). In the 90s, these guys were hackers and webmasters. These days, they're anonymous shitposters or artists like Negative XP (formerly School Shooter). The pain at the center of them is still the same. It's been many years since I saw the Matrix sequels, but I'm not sure if I want to revisit them considering how hollow the ending to the series is. Perhaps I'll finally get around to watching the spinoffs like The Animatrix and suchlike.

>>2942 It is also, from a movie-making perspective, very well-structured. The initial sequence in particular does a great job of quickly and effectively setting everything up from a story, thematic, genre, effect, and general cinematic perspective.

>>2942 >>2944 Yeah anon The Matrix is fantastic, the sheer style alone has a mesmerizing quality. The sequels may not be as good but Reloaded has some killer fights which make it worth watching I think.

>>2942 I never saw The Matrix until the second half of the 2000s, but I remember how constantly people would reference bullet time in the early years of the decade. I remember hearing the bullet dodging referred to as "doing The Matrix" when I was in elementary school. I actually saw Revolutions at a friend's house before I ever saw the first movie. I didn't enjoy it, and it didn't help that I had no clue what was going on. The same friend had an Xbox, and I remember playing Enter the Matrix with him one day when he had it as a rental.

>>2942 >I'm surprised no-one mentioned The Matrix >being this new

>>2949 Enter The Matrix was a game with a lot of pretty neat ideas, but it had very strange controls which hampered it. Seems that the Wachowski Brothers were ahead of their time, given how popular "cinematic" linear games with scripted set pieces are these days. Fun fact: the game even has a fighting game VS mode that you can unlock through the hacking side of it, though it's pretty bad.

>>2952 I don't remember that much of it other than that I seemed to think it was a better game than a review of it I saw at the time would have led me to believe, there was some kind of bullet time mechanic, and that I thought it was fun running up the walls.
