All I could hear when I read that...
- Haven't seen this since I was a kid and I can still hear it
  
  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...
- 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.
- 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
  
  Exactly, and the cell phone that could spring open.

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.
- For a paid employee of the corpos that's winning. They probably want to pay him 25hr
  
  It's honestly surprising they didn't just record him once and then try to get away with paying him minimum.
- It's crazy he (technically) starred in the top two movies at the box office at the time, Fast X and GotG 3.
- True but he did do the other languages himself so I feel that does justify it some despite the context of his lines.

JC Denton before the augs
- Deep cut.

Not afraid of the dark, are you?

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.

Name me something cooler in 2023
- Hell yeah!
  
  Technically the truth
  
  Your Bureaucrat Rank just went up by 1.

It still is.

Damn that looks cool

Tbh late 90s/early 2000s fashion was.... something else.
- The endless expanse of Kahki

Duke nerdem

a lot of people thought he was a massive douchenozzle. still do.
- You can’t talk about Iron Giant like that 😭

I need them goggles

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

it looks hilarious.
