I miss '90s TV.
I miss coming back to school and watching stupid cartoons.
I miss watching Fresh Prince of Belair and Saved by the Bell just before dinner.
I miss waiting one week to see the next X-Files episode.
I miss being young.

watching Buffy with my father, who suddendly was very interested in vampire fiction for some reason... who's now deceased
Waiting for the erotic movie at midnight.
Comfy 56k internet, buying cd-rom with content
I just miss the 90s style of tv shows. It can't really be replicated without it feeling like parody.
Yup.
*Crack*
X-Files with based Skinner BTFOing Mulder followed by some Resident Evil: Director's Cut while listening to early 90's Jackyl before the band fell off a cliff when Tom and Jimmy left.
Now THOSE were the days.
*Siiiip*
What you actually miss is being a kid.
>it's a Skinner murders Samantha Carter from SG1 and asks for Mulders help to cover it up episode
>I miss being young.
Being young sucks. You have all the time in the world but you are too dumb to do anything worthwhile.
t. 30yo boomer.
Based
mulder and scully investigating stargate would've been fun maybe
RE Director's Cut over RE2?
i miss Friday the 13th movies coming out bros, is Lebron James gonna save us?
Director's Cut was more survival horror and less action while RE2 was more action and less survival horror. Both are almost equal in kino but DC is the thinking man's game and playing it on Arrange Mode as Chris will JUST you so hard that you'll be paying alimony to Brendan Fraser.
Jason's good, but he's second to Michael.
*Crack*
Halloween 6, now THAT was a horror kino.
*Siiiip*
Completely underrated and easily the scariest Myers there was, heh-heh.
*Siiiip*
Television pre-HD and streaming was superior because you got samplings of shows from multiple decades. As a kid, I'd watch shows from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s + new stuff. Then HD killed all the old SD only shows, leaving only new productions on air. Then streaming put the knife in TV networks.
Early X-Files is so ridiculously comfy it's not even funny. Nothing will ever even come close to those levels of comfiness.
Yeah, but we’re getting more Micheal soon
This is why we Director's Cut.
youtube.com
Hackshually a lot of those old shows were shot on 35mm and can and have been remastered in HD. X-Files for example.
Halloween hasn't been good since 6. H20 is a slight exception, but barely. Halloween 2018 sucked. I hold no expectations that Mikey will be back in true kino. Now where's my brake fluid for the lawnmower?
I just miss being happy
Dubs and trips. Nice.
X-Files season 2, 3, and 4 is some of the best writing that has ever existed.
And I also miss not being chronically tired. It's been for so long now I don't really remember being normal anyway.
So it seems, so it seems.
Skinner was a very underrated character. Anyone else agree?
H2018 was good in my opinion
don't let this thread die
Now that the dust has settled, even though both are 80's, which one was most kino and why?
Ackshully, most of them were never remastered and it's an expensive process which never happened commonly before streaming took over and they still aren't aired on television because networks don't want to pay for the license for remasters.
How 'bout a poke?
>buying cd-rom with HIDDEN content
Weren't prints usually just destroyed until like 70s-80s? because they thought there was no point of saving those
>it's an expensive process
hahahaha no it's not nigger, it's just scanning a bunch of 35mm reels, it's really not that expensive. Licenses is another issue I'll give you that, but not the scanning part.
varies, I think generally they've kept the original film masters. There's a whole bunch of old shows that have been remastered in HD.
They were usually lost or thrown out because storing film is extremely expensive and is literally prone to catching on fire, which happened to most of the stuff that was saved. TV shows were preserved much less than movies, to boot. For example, Captain Video had over 1,537 episodes and only 24 have been preserved.
>thinks HD conversion is cheap and easy
>thinks most original masters have been saved
Yeah, you're a fucking moron.
Back when the culture was still strong and white. White people make comfy stuff.
There's no such thing as "HD conversion". If you don't have the 35mm you can't convert it to HD. Shows that have been remastered to HD did so from the 35mm masters. All of them. I never said I knew how many have saved the masters, I just said there's a bunch of shows that have actually been remastered, of course it's more likely to be the popular ones.
You obviously don't know shit.
the only thing I miss is having cable
I want to get it so I can just turn on some bullshit to stop myself from thinking for a little bit but I can't justify the $75/month or whatever for a basic package. Even though I can afford it it feels like I'm getting raped for low quality shit with tons of ads.
yea sorry didn't mean destroyed but like you said, it's waste of space, so just discarded or forgotten. who wants to watch that again when were making new things mindset. ironically it's the total opposite what's happening today.
Anyone remember this show
Film hasn't been prone to catching fire since the 1950s jfc.
Modern film isn't at all expensive to store, acetate film only needs minor temperature and humidity consideration, and polyester prints practically don't degrade.
Captain Video was a low budget production from a poor ass network, obviously ephemeral shit like that is likely not well preserved. Most major shows since the 1960s have been preserved.
>There's no such thing as "HD conversion"
Yes. There is.
>Locating and cataloging film
>Reassembling the cuts
>Scanning the film
>Color correction
>Aspect correction
>SFX correction
>Sound engineering
>etc
It's an incredibly expensive and time consuming process and you should kill yourself, you know-nothing-but-pretends-to piece of shit
>Film hasn't been prone to catching fire since the 1950s jfc.
Wrong, you fucking moron.
en.wikipedia.org
Then it's not a conversion, it's a remaster because you create a new video master off the 35mm film.
That was older films from before the 50s you absolute moron, mostly silent stuff
>>Locating and cataloging film
oh wow how difficult looking up a reel of film and fetching it so much work takes me 30 maybe 40 minutes
>>Reassembling the cuts
fucking idiot episodes are stored already cut together
>>Scanning the film
literally the only major work required
>>Color correction
They weren't color corrected back in the day, no need for it now, some generic adjustments for the whole ep are enough
>>Aspect correction
uhm just preserve the original aspect ratio? derp
>>SFX correction
if it's video/digital effects it's usually impossible to use the original data, in this case yeah just use the original effects and deal with the shitty look (like with X-Files) or you redo them from scratch. Most simply opt for the former.
>>Sound engineering
just use the original sound which is usually quite good, not much work either
It's a reasonable process that isn't particularly expensive you absolute tryhard pseud who thinks film from the 1950s is flammable and that TV shows get an """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""HD conversion""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
You fucking idiot. Cellulose acetate film is extremely flammable. Kill yourself.
Cellulose acetate film is the original safety film you absolute brainlet. Cellulose NITRATE film is flammable and its usage ceased in the early 50s, and it was never even used with 16mm. fucking KYS
Cellulose acetate aka safety film is still highly flammable, you fucking retard.
Another good thread killed by autism.
The other day I caught saved by the bell on tv. For some reason I was in a weird emotional state and I actually teared up a bit. I’m 42.
No it's fucking not you cocksucking piece of shit.
fuck you
i don't know anything more than that i've seen film scans flying on private trackers. Usually downscaled from 4k to something like 1080p.
so like you said, they don't do any of that stuff unless it's necessary. but that's just some collectors who have the 35mm films and whatever that they scan for fun.
the 90s ruined tv for good. the jewiest decade that brought filth and degeneracy into homes and it never went away. first black this first leabian that etc. disgusting decade.
He was my favorite I met him in Disney land when i was a kid and got his autograph best part of the trip.
>i don't know anything
I can tell
Indeed I do. Miss Parker was so fucking hot.
It's weird how Buffy was the peak of 90s TV, while at the same time was the originator of the Marvel quip heavy style which is such fucking cancer as it is everywhere now.
ye sorry been drinking. there's not that much available but those are crisp as fuck. like watching that indiana jones in the movie theaters again
Well that was new, we didn't know at the time it was the very begining of the end.
Based Mitch/Skinner. He's supposedly hilarious and jolly in real life, as opposed to playing Skinner.
Who wishes Giles was their dad?
good track and trips too
No I just kind of imagined highschool was probably cool with cool teachers like that.
Home Improvement was kino
