Another 90s female Oz rock classic.

Agree, the 90's was also the last decade were comedies were a staple diet and there were some timeless classics produced; Groundhog Day, Dumb and Dumber, Mrs Doubtfire, Happy Gilmore, The Big Lewboski etc.
The evolution of TV Shows/series since the 90's (Sopranos's etc.) has also had a huge impact of the movie industry. The available streaming options and amount of content is the reason that production and specifically writing for TV Shows is more than double that for movies.
There are still some decent movies being made; Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Irishman and 1917 are a few recent examples, but sadly because the Superhero/Marvel/DC rehashes and sequels are guaranteed income for movie houses I doubt this trend is going to end soon...

The Irishman was 4 hours of shit

Beg to differ although I'm far from a movie buff. The long shot when Sheehan went to kill Jimmy Hoffa was really well done imo.

Long, boring and senior looked 60+ the whole time when he was supposed to be anywhere from 16-80 [emoji849].

Laughable and terrible watching

Tori Amos was a great 90s female pianist and shat all over Billy Eilish and Tones and I in terms of musical talent.

Cornflake Girl was a masterpiece.

I like/d Tori Amos, and I like Billie Eilish and Tones & I.

What basis do you have for saying she shits over them in terms of musical talent. The two modern girls are some of the most innovating and interesting artists I've heard recently, there's some serious depth of musical talent AND pathos in both of them.

Because for Plugger everything was better in the 90s. Did you also know he lived in London and the US in the late 90s? I think he night have mentioned it somewhere.

I was in my prime in the late nineties too. I still enjoy new things (occasionally).

Crazy to think of some of the conflict/political turbulence that existed in the 90s compared to today, and those that have since developed. Friends of mine visited Syria only a couple of years ago. They posted photos to social media of beautiful old buildings that have since been leveled.

Gulf War is kinda of 'meh' to me because it's just another installment of the US vs whoever on foreign soil. Depending on your definition of Middle East I'd feel comfortable of not being invaded by the US being in Israel and that's about it. A few of the other states have relative comfort due to either being a current military ally and/or being so large that any sort of conflict is problematic, but I wouldn't be sitting in Bahrain for example thinking 'the US is our friend forever and always'.

The Rwandan genocide killed 1m people in the 90s and now the country is developing as an industrial economy and tourist destination. They are the official 'travel partner' of Arsenal.

The various Yugoslav wars went on over the entire decade from the breakup of Yugoslavia through to the Kosovo War in the late 90s. Never as a kid in the 90s did I think the Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia would become favourite travel destinations a decade later. Learning about the seige of Sarajevo, Srebrenica etc and meeting people my own age who were "just playing with the other kids" in tunnels when the sirens went off at the same time I would've been sitting at home watching West Coast win their first flag I found much more confronting than any of the WWII stuff which was all done and dusted before my parents were even born.

The Omagh bombing was in 1998 and while that is now 22 years ago I wouldn't think twice about going to Northern Ireland.

Other places have really destabilised. Zimbabwe was never great under Mugabe but seemed to really go downhill after the 1990s. I remember having family friends who moved out in the 80s and they were nice people and standard 'better life here' migrants rather than escaping persecution. I remember their cricket team being really competitive, then in the 2003 WC they advanced because teams would rather forfeit than play there. Now they don't even qualify for the ODI WC and were banned for qualifying for the T20 version. Pakistan similar from a cricket perspective. Their team has been competitive (not as good as the great sides with Wasim Akram, Imran Khan etc) but they rarely get to play series at home due to security fears.

Turkey is looking pretty shaky now. All of my friends that have been there (rough timeline 5-10 years ago) raved about it but Erdogan seems to want to take them back to the dark ages.

I saw a doco about two people from Melbourne who went to the same school then ended up fighting on opposite sides in the Balkans. The realised at one point, spun out a bit and organised a cease fire.

Sarajevo hosted the Winter Olympics less than a decade before it was under siege.

And you should check out stories and photos from Afghanistan before the US decided to **** with it (to cause a Soviet invasion and give the USSR a version of Vietnam.)

It looks like any Western country on earth in Kabul, at least in terms of how people dressed.

Adalita from Magic Dirt

She hugged me after seeing my arse last year. She's still hot

 

[PT Bar None]

Neither the song nor the performance is 90's, but **** it I'm posting it anyway:


And again... This time with guitar wizard J Mascis - Dinosaur Jr were big in the 90's, yeah?

 

[Plugger35]

I actually posted a Dinosaur Jr song in the first page of this thread so they were definitely a big 90s band even though they were formed in the 80s.

 

[ferball]

And did most of their best work then.

 

[VicPark Bitter]

this is a band that owned the 90s.
and is touring this year!

 

[Plugger35]

Another Dinosaur Jnr 90s classic.

Great song, another Faith No More 90s classic.

Does anyone else remember Small Tales & True? It was an Australian comedy show from 1998 but I can't recall ever seeing it at the time.

I saw this episode late last night on the ABC comedy channel where it was about the Richmond cheer squad and I thought it was quite amusing.

It featured some Australian comedy heavyweights from the time like Bob Franklin, Stephen Curry, Roz Hammond, Robyn Butler, Wayne Hope and George Negus.

Never knew Brian May was in the RFC cheer squad.

While I'm living back in the 90s

Hunters & Collectors Demon Flower from 1994 was one of the best albums of the 90s.

This was the lead single from that album.




It contained even better songs than that though.
