I find it a little difficult to remember just what I saw in the theaters that year, but this next list is probably the stuff. If I didn't see these films that year, it was very soon after.
GoldenEye. Bond with Pierce Bronson. It was good. Not the best Bond movie, but worth seeing.
Batman Forever. Well, Val Kilmer wasn't the best Batman, but I was a huge Jim Carrey fan and couldn't wait to see him as the Riddler.
Tommy Boy. Chris Farley and David Spade at their finest. I still sing that tune, "Fat guy in a little coat."
Ace Venture: When Nature Calls. Sequel to the first Ace Venture movie. I like it even better than the first because it's so over-the-top, it's like a live-action cartoon; frickin' love every minute of it, and could put it on any day, all day, like the way three year olds watch movies. Ask me to quote from it sometime. I know every minute of it.
The Celluloid Closet. This one's about the way Hollywood has depicted LGBT characters over its history. I distinctly remember seeing this in an art house theater because it was on limited release. Really interesting.
Rumble in the Bronx. A Jackie Chan martial arts film. Everyone was talking about the moment someone gets thrown in a tree-shredder, so I eventually saw it. I'd seen The Legend of the Drunken Master the year before and thought it was one of the best martial arts films ever. This one's pretty darn awesome too.
For TV, I still wasn't watching much, but this list is some stuff I saw and knew about.
I didnt' watch much of Star Trek Voyager, but the trailers for it made me think it was going to be great. I thought it was really going to do something new with Star Trek with a female captain and a lost-in-space story. Of course, it wasn't all that, and later, when they added sexy Seven of Nine, my inner feminist was hugely insulted and wouldn't watch another minute of it. I'm still fuming about that.
Aieon Flux was this strange scifi animated show on MTV. I got hooked on it and dug it's bizarre characters and story. Man those French tongue kissing scenes were weirdly animated. Tentacle-tongues, I call them.
Pinky and the Brain was an Animaniacs spin-off show my friend Mark watched religiously. Through him, I have all the quotes I need to add stupid fun to video gaming weekends, "Narf!" "Zort!"
I was a Wallace and Gromit fan and saw all these English claymation short movies. A Close Shave was the newest one. I remember one of my sisters told me she thought the show was creepy. Bah! Not!
And that's my limited screen views for '95. Later on I saw a lot more movies that came out this year, and I have a dozen more I'd like to see too. Oh time.
Pinky and the Brain was awesome. Are you going to go see the Shaun the Sheep movie?
YES! Maybe tomorrow, er, later today.
I have the first couple of seasons of Pinky and the Brain on DVD. I had most of the episodes on VHS tapes at one time until someone borrowed them.
I need to go watch them. I've only seen a few episodes while at my friend's place.
Was Tommy Boy the one where Chris Farley and the lead female were sitting in the boat and the little kids were talking trash? I always get Tommy Boy and Blacksheep mixed up. I saw every flick on your list except for Celluloid Closet.
I liked Voyager but I got into it later on while in college. I liked the storyline, and it reminded me of a kind of pirate ship with a ragtag bunch of a former Borg, some folks who I think were anti Federation, and of course the Federation and a Hologram Doctor.
Aeon Flux was such an odd show yet I watched, dug it, and I think I own the really bad video game based on the movie
I get Tommy Boy and Black Sheep mixed up too. I thought the time they got pulled over by a cop and they were both high on the leaking nitrous tank in the car was Tommy Boy, but after some youtube research, I found out it was in Black Sheep. Both movies are great though.
I watched Goldeneye just the other day with my dad, in the motorhome. It's probably one of my favorite bond movies, but it's also intertwined with my experiences with the N64 game too.
For some reason I never considered playing the game back then. Not sure why since I was playing a lot of shooters.
it's a little dated now, but at the time it was TONS of fun.
I was playing a lot of split-screen multiplayer in Duke Nukem on the consoles at the time.
