Was 1993 that Long Ago, 1990's Represent ???

Back in 1993, I had just turned 21 and graduated college. After watching this movie it sure makes you realize that 1993 was a long time ago and how things have changed. Rollar Blades, Right Said Fred, ect. I may be growing older but not up. What are some things that will represent the 1990's that rubic cubes, atari, and trapper keepers represent the 1980's? Any ideas?

The Real World, Sinbad, Tom Hanks, Michael Jordan, Chris O'Donnell, good shows on Nickelodeon, Tamagotchi, Beanie Babies, The Spice Girls...

You remind me of a young Chuck Norris, with a bit of Antonio Sabato Jr. thrown in.

Ugh, I know exactly what you mean! Technology has basically spoiled society as a whole.

I remember, as kids, actually going out and socializing with one-another in person. We would go to the park, play Nintendo/Sega Genesis at our parents' house, run around our backyards, watch T.V., and then reenact a scene from an episode, go to the park and play on the swing sets, the list goes on and on...

Nowadays, it seems like a tornado had ripped through the entire neighborhood. I hardly see anybody outside. My parents even spoke to our neighbors, and people knew everybody's names. Not so much anymore.

I love this film because it reeks of the '90s. They were such simpler times. I feel so bad when watching this movie because of how much society has changed since 1993.

I would love a Blu-ray version, but at least we should be grateful that it had a DVD release.
