1999 was such a great year for movies! One of the best is The Mummy, and I've probably watched that one the most out of any movie that came out that year. But also eXistenZ was released, which is probably one of the worst movies I've ever seen (and turned off because it was so bad, which I hardly ever do - I watched ALL of In The Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale).

Mummy is so good!

I also watched In the Name of the King, because I played the Dungeon Siege game. Man, shat a mess.

The Mummy was underrated. It's never referenced as one of the greater movies of that era. I wonder why (seriously, I wonder why)?

I'm guessing because it's kinda silly? I love it tho!

Samantha Kemp-Jackson's avatar

Yes, but so are many movies of that era! The silliness is the point!

I assume that 'shat' is a typo, but also I'm not sure because it still works lmao

lolol totally supposed to be 'what' but I'm gonna keep 'shat' because it totally works!

There was a great indie called Clockwatchers in this era maybe slightly earlier that was like the female Office Space in a way, it starred Lisa Kudrow and Parker Posey. Wish I could find it somewhere!

Lol...UK we had warehouse raves and house parties with massive sound systems. We took a ton of pure MDMA and were pioneers of drum n bass. Underground was the escape until lad culture corrupted everything and indie became mainstream. Nihilist but never depressive. Loved the 90s. We had it all.

Yeah I def agree that Peter's eagerness to work a shovel felt like a stretch. But I think it was more about not living for your job.

Great comment!
