All I could hear when I read that...

[-] Nepenthe@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago

Haven't seen this since I was a kid and I can still hear it

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Back in the days where you had to stay up late to watch the good stuff on late night TV.

Still a mindfuck that we are 20 years past the punchline of this joke...

[-] flipthetube@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Funniest thing in my opinion was that they continued doing it long after 2000 passed.

[-] Nepenthe@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

The jokes were less stupid

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I know it feels good to believe that but no, we were not better than having dim jokes. Hell, most of my favorite jokes are dumb as hell

La Bamba singing that phrase pops into my head about every six months.

In the year two thousand, in the yeeeear two thouuuussaaaand!

I was there and, while Vin looked fine in Pitch Black, no one wanted those sunglasses.

[-] johnthedoe@lemmy.ml 93 points 2 years ago

It was Neo's sunglasses in the Matrix that was the shit back then Even though people wanted Morpheus' sunnies. No one could pull it off except Lawrence Fishburne

[-] MisterMoo@kbin.social 28 points 2 years ago

Exactly, and the cell phone that could spring open.

[-] theragu40@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

It boggles the mind why they never released the phone from the first movie. They thought we just wanted anything from the matrix series so they launched the one from the matrix 2 but that one was bulky and unattractive.

It was that sexy slider everyone really wanted and they denied us!

[-] RaincoatsGeorge@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 years ago

You could get phones like that overseas. There was way more variety and a bunch more models that never got released in the west.

[-] theragu40@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Well that just further rankles my groingle!

[-] Elektrotechnik@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I think you could actually buy that, but is wasn't spring loaded.

Nokia 8110

I still want that. Those new folding RAZR phones fall super short by not being able to flip open or slam shut quickly

Oh man, I wanted that phone so freaking bad!

[-] dingus@lemmy.ml 43 points 2 years ago

And this year, he got paid millions of dollars to repeat one line for a whole ass movie... for the third time in a row.

[-] AzuleBlade@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

It's crazy he (technically) starred in the top two movies at the box office at the time, Fast X and GotG 3.

[-] MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

For a paid employee of the corpos that's winning. They probably want to pay him 25hr

[-] dingus@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

It's honestly surprising they didn't just record him once and then try to get away with paying him minimum.

True but he did do the other languages himself so I feel that does justify it some despite the context of his lines.

Not afraid of the dark, are you?

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.one 15 points 2 years ago

Frightening...

In the year 2000, Pitch Black was the 62nd highest grossing movie with $39,240,659.

The #1 film? $251,628,705?

Having wet jeans that touch the ground when you walk was as normal as casual homophobia. Truly a cultural wasteland.

[-] Hamster@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago

Mel Gibson is 15, 16, and 17 on that list, all over $100 million. That's a crazy year for an actor.

[-] Mushroom444@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 years ago

Name me something cooler in 2023

[-] Lazerbeams2@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Damn that looks cool

[-] victron@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Tbh late 90s/early 2000s fashion was.... something else.

I need them goggles

[-] Borscht@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Fuck this gave me the craziest mental whiplash!! My dad watched a ton of movies w/ me and I inevitably told my childhood teacher that "my favorite movie was XXX" thinking it was the most badass shit ever.

On that note, for such a prideful dude he wore some goofy shit
