There's something unmistakably Staten Island-bro about the Impractical Jokers, and yet none of it is offensive or gross. They are like your old school pals you used to drink beers with, just a tad older and balder.

2049 is a better movie, as far as structure goes, but let's face it, the original Blade Runner isn't as influential as it is because of its structure. 2049 is also incredibly unsubtle. Both are fine films though.

I bet most of you are familiar with extremely recognizable floaty animation style of Animation Magic, a company from Cambridge, Massachusetts which in term founded a subsidiary in St. Petersburg, Russia where young and starving artists were trained in animation and gamedev

 Sat Apr 04 23:47:40 +0000 2020

Their CD-i output of two Zelda games, & DOS edutainment fps "I.M. Meen" have legendary internet meme fame, and their input in King's Quest 7 is fairly unmistakable. But did you know about their involvement with Knowledge Adventure, Brøderbund Software, and Davidson & Associates?

 Sat Apr 04 23:52:28 +0000 2020

ScummVM even supports a handful of Animation Magic kids adventure titles!

 Sat Apr 04 23:53:48 +0000 2020

Sometimes they would only handle animation, like in King's Quest 7. Sometimes it was both animation & code, like in I.M. Meen. Sometimes even parts of the design. Their amateurish style pretty much disappeared by the mid-90s, and the quality of animation became quite high.

Tetsuo II: Body Hammer. I recommend it highly.

 Mon Apr 06 01:44:17 +0000 2020

It's a bit of a shame that Shinya Tsukamoto's Tetsuo films aren't recognized as universal classics. First film "The Iron Man" is currently available on Shudder (free for a month w/ code SHUTIN), and the 2nd film "Body Hammer" is very much worth tracking down, if you can.

 Mon Apr 06 01:46:14 +0000 2020

Both films are quite obviously inspired by works of Lynch and Cronenberg, but have enough of their own energy to be unique and memorable works. First movie is more dark and cerebral, second is a bigger & more action-y interpretation of the same themes.

Decided to finally give Tiger King a shot. Maybe I'm just not in the right mood, but so far this bit from episode 2 sums up most of my feelings on the subject

(I definitely don't support wild animals being kept in captivity though. I think that goes without saying. I'm also aware that there are plenty of trashy people around. But let's see how the rest of it plays out.)

Stop motion with people is called pixilation, and Tetsuo films have some of the most memorable examples of that.

What I'm getting from Tiger King is that I should talk less shit about the Amiga because some day I can be on trial for alleged Amiga murder for hire, and they're gonna show the jury all my tweets.

So that was Tiger King. It was a well made doc, they really had figured out how to tell this story well. But I sort of hate-watched it. Animal abuse is a big trigger for me. Also I've hung around enough dirtbags to try to avoid them. And here I just subjected myself to 5 hrs.

It's Friday night during a quarantine! Who's ready to join me on a journey through Russian pop hits of the 90s? We're going all over the place! It's gonna be terrible, cute, and occasionally great. Let's go, comrades! 🇷🇺 https://x.com/dosnostalgic/status/1247233290312060929

 Sat Apr 11 00:51:50 +0000 2020

Preface:
90s Russia was a weird time. Following the disappointing Perestroika, and the subsequent collapse of the USSR, the overall mood wasn't the greatest. With an alleged democracy Russian Federation imported fast food, videogames, foreign tech goodies, drugs, and crime

 Sat Apr 11 00:54:15 +0000 2020

But everything felt new. Despite low wages and standards of living every market was full of products and content unseen and unheard until those days. Anyone with a decent amount of money and a few cheap synthesizers started churning out dance songs that were instantly consumed.

 Sat Apr 11 00:57:04 +0000 2020

Let's begin with no so great. This was a MAJOR hit by Kai Metov called "Position #2". For reasons completely unknown to me he became every housewife's dream. It's objectively terrible, but I absolutely can not hate this *amazing* official music video.

 Sat Apr 11 01:02:44 +0000 2020

Another hero of the early 90s Bogdan Titomir. Having separated from the successful duo "Car Man" he positioned himself as a "rapper" from the streets with this cheap Marky Mark knockoff video (see bicycle tired on a bike) "Делай Как Я" (Do as I do). It was mega popular.

 Sat Apr 11 01:09:23 +0000 2020

Titomir notoriously once answered an interview question "Why are you singing this kind of garbage?" with "People eat it up." thus giving quite a slogan for all modern Russian show business.

 Sat Apr 11 01:12:37 +0000 2020

Clones? We got em! It was the 90s, and what was popular? That's right, Ace of Base! Well, meet Vostok with their only hit "Миражи" (Mirages) from 1996. Pupper alert!

 Sat Apr 11 01:15:02 +0000 2020

And now a legend! DJ band Ruki Vverh (Hands Up) with their super hit "Крошка Моя" (My Baby). They were extremely cheese and super prolific and became hated by just about everyone. The style was instantly recognizable. But cheesy didn't mean you couldn't dance to it!

 Sat Apr 11 01:22:31 +0000 2020

Ruki Vverh's input in music outside of Russia was selling their song "Песенка" (Little Song) to a German eurodance band ATC who covered it as "Around the World (La La La La La)" in 1999, and became an international success

 Sat Apr 11 01:27:57 +0000 2020

And now the good stuff. Чугунный Скороход (Cast Iron Speed Walker?) with their hit "Милиция" and a music video shot in a local high school. Having children dance with lyrics like "Hide the drugs, it's the cops!" was sure something. It was a different time.

 Sat Apr 11 01:36:35 +0000 2020

Here's Diskoteka Avariya with their hit "Давай Авария!". Always liked them. These guys from a rural town had lots of talent & energy. They sampled & were influenced by every popular piece of dance music. They mostly played 2 their local audiences until discovered in the late 90s

 Sat Apr 11 01:45:38 +0000 2020

Something a bit more somber. Russky Razmer and their minor hit "Вот Так". This is it. A great tune.

 Sat Apr 11 02:01:47 +0000 2020

Here's the band "Hi-Fi" and their hit "Не Дано". At the time I used to despise just about everything this band's producer was involved in (and it was a lot), but today I really enjoy this particular tune. There's something delightfully simple about it.

 Sat Apr 11 02:08:59 +0000 2020

In my opinion the pinnacle of generic Russian pop that is meant to appeal to multiple generations, but still has a beat. Alyona Apina and her mega hit "Электричка" (Train).

 Sat Apr 11 02:21:07 +0000 2020

Ivan Kupala eventually became known as a band, but it was just a lone DJ who worked with USSR-era recordings of Russian folk songs. The mix of competent music and rural village singers worked incredibly well. This was the breakout hit "Kostroma":

 Sat Apr 11 02:28:32 +0000 2020

Tatyana Bulanova was a folksy singer who scored a danceable hit with "Ясный Мой Свет" (My Bright Light) and then spent the rest of her career chasing that same high with little success.

 Sat Apr 11 02:34:21 +0000 2020

Let's get back to crap for a second. Here's Irina Saltykova with her non-hit "Bye Bye". Irina had a couple of hits early on, but the rest of her output was mediocre at best. She's also known for playing herself as a shallow pop star in the hit film "Brother 2".

 Sat Apr 11 02:46:34 +0000 2020

Ужас какой

 Sat Apr 11 02:52:59 +0000 2020

In my opinion one of the best Russian pop hits of the 90s, here's Лицей (Lyceum) with their super hit "Осень" (Autumn). Unlike most things from 1996 this still holds up incredibly well with its folksy vibe, and audible longing. A great track all around.

 Sat Apr 11 02:57:19 +0000 2020

 Sat Apr 11 03:07:03 +0000 2020

One of my favorites Кобинация (Combination) with the song "Бухгалтер" (Accountant) from 1993. A great music video about an accountant who wonders into a cabaret where all wishes are granted, and orders a song about "life, love, and myself". Great use of nonexistent budget.

 Sat Apr 11 03:13:50 +0000 2020

Да она из каждого утюга тогда звенела. Но всё-равно приятно.

 Sat Apr 11 03:14:39 +0000 2020

It's probably late enough to post something really kooky. Here are Дюна (Dune) with their song Октябрятская-Партизанская. Please don't ask me what any of it means. 🤣

 Sat Apr 11 03:26:39 +0000 2020

Want something creepy instead? Here's Linda with her 1996 hit "Ворона" (Crow). I remember being incredibly impressed with this music video at the time. Now it feels a bit quaint.

 Sat Apr 11 03:33:09 +0000 2020

It doesn't get any more early 90s Russia than Lada Dance and her 1992 hit "Baby Tonight". I freaking adore the goofy choreography.

 Sat Apr 11 03:41:12 +0000 2020

It's almost midnight here, so I'm gonna sign off with Alyona Sviridova's 1995 hit "Pink Flamingo".

 Sat Apr 11 03:51:01 +0000 2020

I think that was more than enough for tonight. Hopefully you found this thread entertaining. Pray that I don't do one like that for Russian rock of the 90s. Good night. 🥂

Seriously the puzzles are super annoying. At first they are so simple that you to go "oh, that's cute". They take 5 seconds. But halfway through the game they become complex enough to take a minute or so, and you just groan every time you encounter one because the game stops dead

 Sat Apr 11 12:20:58 +0000 2020

 Sat Apr 11 21:51:22 +0000 2020

Believe it or not, I also have a few worthless plastic discs that are considered "rare" and are worth more than some vintage hardware I own. Why? Who knows, and who cares. I'm not selling either of them.

I wish they'd just finish up & release the Snyder Cut already, just so everyone can shut up. It would be interesting to have another Exorcist 4 situation, where both movies are available, and they are both crap, but each in their own unique way.

 Sun Apr 12 17:57:55 +0000 2020

Seriously, remember when they made this movie *twice*? Poor Stellan Skarsgard. I hope he got paid a lot.

 Sun Apr 12 18:01:03 +0000 2020

This is such an interesting case study. Everything is so obvious. The studio clearly went "oh shit, Schrader's movie is boring. It's just people talking and NOTHING happens! Let's get Renny Harlin to make the same movie again, but with no talking & more EXORCISMS"

 Sun Apr 12 18:05:16 +0000 2020

And they got exactly that. One movie that tries to be as smart of an Exorcist prequel as it can, and ends up being boring and unnecessary, and another movie which is all ridiculous action-style scares & minimal plot. Schrader's movie is better, but Harlin's is more fun to watch.

 Sun Apr 12 18:08:09 +0000 2020

Reshoots always happen. With Exorcist 4 with some minimal changes it's an ENTIRELY new movie. And I love Exorcist 3. There's some merit to some original ideas, I agree, but honestly I think the theatrical cut is a better experience.

 Sun Apr 12 18:18:50 +0000 2020

 Sun Apr 12 18:22:57 +0000 2020

It is fun to see both films. And by "fun" I mean painful, but interesting.

Happy Easter, assholes!

 Sun Apr 12 18:27:02 +0000 2020

RLM brought up "Freaked", an older movie that I love & revisit often, and that doesn't make me feel old. But the second they bring up "Blossom", something just as old that I haven't even thought about in a million years, I begin feeling like I'm ageing with every breath I take.

 Sun Apr 12 18:34:45 +0000 2020

Oof. Yeah. That one was a bit less interesting, just because half the movie is gone. It's like the American cut of The Big Blue that had to get a new score because they cut out an hour+ out of it.

 Sun Apr 12 18:40:49 +0000 2020

 Mon Apr 13 23:18:25 +0000 2020

Btw, profits during this time have been HUGE. Stores have never spent less, and made still made profit. Weeks leading up to the crisis gave some places nearly x2 sales.

 Mon Apr 13 23:20:47 +0000 2020

Btw, I worked for places where 50% markup was no big deal. Yes, if they paid $3 for something they sold it to you for $6.99. Grocery stores, even small ones, aren't struggling businesses. Profit margins are usually huge.

98 was a special year because of DirectX and OpenGL, and hardware accelerators. Supporting DOS didn't make sense anymore, thus making 97 the final year with any sizeable amount of AAA DOS releases. But there were plenty of Windows games before 98 too, and good ones.

I specifically want to say that it was impressive specifically for the time when it was made. Fairly shortly after you could get better samplers that didn't cost $100k. But in 79? And that pre-80s design is so special. Monochnome monitor, lightpen, 8 inch floppies. Gorgeous.

 Thu Apr 16 01:49:06 +0000 2020

Except Toxic Avenger, obviously. That one will always be ahead of everything they have put out before and since (sadly).

Where did our rebellious youth go?

 Thu Apr 16 17:34:51 +0000 2020

I'm fine with that brand, it just as it became less interesting to me, the actual faults of these films became harder to ignore. Toxic Avenger is elevated by inventiveness and honesty that is sadly absent from most of their output.

 Thu Apr 16 18:07:26 +0000 2020

And also the last Troma movie I watched was also *the* worst. I could barely believe it, it was so torturous. That really left a mark.

 Thu Apr 16 18:08:26 +0000 2020

The feature documentaries where Lloyd keeps screaming at people, everyone on the crew hates each other, and general shitshow of a Troma shoot is on display are more entertaining than the films they produce at this point. I always love those.

 Thu Apr 16 18:16:10 +0000 2020

They just figured out how to use the unending meat grinder of young volunteers who want to make rebellious movies. That's their customer base too. Not much to it, really.

 Thu Apr 16 18:20:08 +0000 2020

What is sad is that Troma is the only truly independent studio of that age. No one else even got close. In their own way they're doing something right, I guess.

The really gharish one is the LSL6, especially in SVGA, but I actually really dig that look too. LSL1 remake is much more gritty than 5 or 6, and I think it's very fitting. And also a completely unique style, as far as games go.

I appreciate that television has more time to do character work, and Better Call Saul certainly does that a lot. I think I just dislike how multiple writers and directors handle a serialized story. Any serialized story.

 Tue Apr 21 19:50:27 +0000 2020

Which is probably why shows I don't have that issue with atypically for the medium stick to the same writers and/or directors throughout the season/series. And also why I dislike Marvel's Avengers movies, because it's pretty much the same shit, but for hundreds of millions.

Oof. I don't like it. I get it. But I don't like it.

I can do it again some day. Hopefully with less technical issues this time.

I have a CRT, and I look at it very often. Color bleed is a lot more interesting and important effect than scanlines. The thing is, you can't see scanlines with your eyes at normal distance. They show up in photos, yes, but the effect is different in person.

 Sat Apr 25 17:26:29 +0000 2020

I am against emulating these effects in a way we do today because both modern monitors and print materials lack proper luminescence of CRTs, which is what gives them that specific look. There's no point in "emulating" a crappy part of some tech if you can't get close 2 experience

I prepared a short slideshow introduction to help set up some cultural context for the film, and then just played the film while I spoke my English translation over it. Then I had a little Q&A with the chat after the film was over.

I had some technical difficulties in the beginning, and they threw me off a bit, but then I picked up after a couple of drinks. This wasn't the first time I've live translated that particular movie though, so I was fairly well prepared.
