Digg it!The 90s isn’t so memorable on the culture end because the prevailing culture was more of a carry over of the 80s. Some even say that it was a confused time having come after such a colorful time in the cultural end.
It’s a different story in the technological end.
Some of the things that are dominating the world were children of the 90s.

Michael Ramsay and Jim Barton were involved with TV and entertainment at Silicon Graphics Corp. Ramsay dealt with the studios that used Silicon Graphics equipment during production, while Barton handled early video-on-demand trials.

I’ve never been too big on lists. At the Filmspotting message bdraos, members are encouraged to participate in a variety of top 100 lists. The top 100 movies’ list is fast approaching and it’s arguably the most interesting of them all. But then again, that’s a very general list. Whenever it comes to these top 5 underwater battle sequences’ or (top 5 ghost movies’ I always feel that the end result sells the movies on the list short and ignores others that should have been on. Why narrow down things so precisely anyways? Are films not flexible? Then one gets into arguments about what constitutes an underwater battle sequence or a proper ghost and bla bla bla, the fun is taken out of the endeavour.
It is amazing how often humnas overlook, or outright ignore the most obvious .usually directly within eye-shot, or something known for many years .the SIMPLE. We need to learn to be PRESENT; and STAY SIMPLE!!
