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...
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
Sorry, I wasn't as clear. I'd meant the jokes told about the future back then were better than how the actual future turned out. The jokes from then were mostly slurs tbh
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
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!
You could get phones like that overseas. There was way more variety and a bunch more models that never got released in the west.
I still want that. Those new folding RAZR phones fall super short by not being able to flip open or slam shut quickly
I remember I thought he looked fucking huge.
I feel sorry for the boys growing up now looking at all these roided out monsters thinking they need to look like that to be good looking. In the 90's we had actual regular sized people as the peak male specimen.
Holy shit, that's like... You haven't even seen beginner gains, haven't learned proper mind/muscle connection, haven't gotten form and control down, no guarantee this is a real lifestyle for you yet level of noob.
Most women I've talked to don't like it anyway. Just look healthy and fit and you're good. No need to look like the Hulk on steroids.
I can second that. While a little bit of muscle is hot, the weightlifter/bodybuilder/linerback/etc style body does nothing for me and the "roided out" look is a complete turnoff.
That said, you shouldn't do things like that just to attract people. If you wanna be some big muscle guy, do it cause you want to. And if that is the kinda person you wanna be, cool, there will be people who will be attracted to you for the person you are.
... just don't do steroids. That shit's bad for you.
There's a line where you look at a guy and wonder if he can wipe his own ass. At that point muscles are no longer cool
I was just thinking that. Not trying to toot my own horn but I look pretty damn close to him. I started working out/lifting seriously in 2012.
Now you have to be the Chris Hemsworth performance enhancing actor generation to be "huge." He wouldn't be considered shit nowadays, but back then you could just be dedicated and shredded. Now you have to be on gear too.
Then again there were enormous pro wrestlers in the 80s who made Vin Diesel look tiny, so the performance enhancement look definitely isn't that new to the public.
Soon, not even roids will be enough. No human will be able to compete with AI perfection, and at best they'll just use people to record reference footage or something.
Look up hugh Jackman from the first X-Men. The dude was cast to play a military super weapon close combat monster
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.
It's crazy he (technically) starred in the top two movies at the box office at the time, Fast X and GotG 3.
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.
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.
Mel Gibson is 15, 16, and 17 on that list, all over $100 million. That's a crazy year for an actor.
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
