I think that the majority of voters will look past what happened to the rail workers. It's not a labour issue many understand or hear about.

FPTP needs to be stopped. The court needs to get its head out of its rear end and actually call this method of voting antiquated and no longer appropriate.

Interesting that Point Break (1991) and The Matrix (1999) book ended the decade. Point Break focuses on white 20 something kids that dropped out and started surfing, the The Matrix focuses on a 30ish white guy going through an existential crisis. At the beginning of the 90s there was still some hope, that a person could find a small counter-culture and create if not a wealthy life, of something satisfying. By 1999 all hope was gone.

I looked it up, Six Degrees of Separation was inspired from a real incident in the early 1980s. I was wondering why it felt like something from a decade earlier.

Copyright is whatever makes the wealthy wealthier. They'll be copyright reform, but only to protect these new industries.

Wayne's World was trying to recapture Mike Myers' childhood in the 70s and early 80s. So doesn't capture spirit of the 90s.

Biodome

Sadly this might be the most 90s of 90s movie. Others like Terminator are sequels, or movies like You've Got Mail are scripts written 10 years prior. Biodome is a time capsule of mid 1990s.

Felt like it was from the 70s.

That was a throw back to the 1980s Brat Pack, so you can group in the late 80s.

Along with Falling Down, watch Boyz n the Hood https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101507/ and Juice https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104573/

All really the same story of the grungy 1990s.

 

Looking for someone that has a hobbyist website that posts to it guitar lessons.

I'm trying to stay away from Youtube, as it is too hard to sort through so many videos, and many of them are just ads for courses.

Love old website and blogs, from the before social media times.
