Movies and TV have done a 180 starting about 99. TV was traditionally shit except for a few jems. Now movies are mostly shit and TV is where the good stuff is. Before 99 you would never see anything even remotely close to the same quality as Narcos, GoT, Black Mirror. Decent TV was arguably started by The Sopranos.

I miss film. Real film in real cameras. Digital pictures and video are cold, like 5000k LED lights.
To answer your question, 90s tv was mostly network comedy and drama. Very safe, very bland with few exceptions.
Indy movies were popular, which wad nice. One of my local theaters had small screens in large rooms with couches and chairs. I went there a lot.
On the other hand, too many 90s movies had really bad cgi. I saw a lot of movies in regular theaters that looked like shit because someone wanted all their vfx done with a video toaster.

While I'm reminiscing, what's with all the blockbuster nostalgia? They sucked. Horrible selection, with dozens of shitty new releases and one rented copy of the movie you wanted to see. Ridiculous fees for being late or not rewinding. They ran out local stores. I don't miss them.

90S NYC WAS THE GOAT

BUT 70S NYC WAS THE MOST AUTHENTIC

Authentic = getting mugged, huh?

It was fun.

Cartoons were better -- Saturday morning cartoons were great.

Wrestling was great, too -- believe it or not.

I REALLY miss 1999. That was an awesome year all around.

mostly cheesy dogshit with the odd kino. Everything was scrambling for a cute catchphrase and fad to sweep the public with so that's why they have a lot of one liners.

Having said that, it was EXTREMELY /comfy/

YES

any news on new new films trickled slow as fuck through magazines and tv. Movies had way more magic, even if they were over the top cheesy bullshit simply because you had to wait longer to receive information and you would hear things through word of mouth a lot more. Trailers were narrated with the serious guy voice and the lack of 4chan meant everyone talked about it in school.

I used to read movie reviews to get a sense of what the movie was about. I haven't read a critic's review in years, maybe a decade.
I used to sometimes go years between reading about a movie I might like and actually seeing it.

Meh, with a few diamonds thrown in. The advent of "reality" shows destroyed network tv.
