Playstation, PS2, Metal Gear solid, Dragon ball z, toonami, xbox live, anime. All of it! lol I truly think 80s-2009 was peak. Then dub step and social media was catching on. Everything sucks now.

Same. The years 1998-2003 still don't seem that long ago to me at all, nor do I consider them "old" or "vintage" in any way. On the other hand, the years 1990-1993 already seemed like a long time ago for me during the years 1998-2003. Crazy how that works.

well people who grew up in the 50s-70s felt bad for the youths in the 90s aswell... and the youths of today will feel bad for the youths in the 2040s. i can assure you that most of todays youth dont give a shit when they grow up, because they live in a first world country and are young. being young is always a good time, unless youre in an abusive household or are in a third world country

At least with 2001 after the events of 9/11 the world regained some consciousness by 2004 but then when COVID in March 2020 hit that really f'ed things up in a major way.
I worked in a movie theater when in 1986, when was still in high school. Aside from having much better movies back then, the concession and ticket prices weren't insane. We had $2 Tuesdays all day, even though the theater I worked at was no run down and was in a very nice area. You could get a popcorn for $1.75 and a drink for $1.25. We used real butter on the popcorn and it was popped with palm oil. Probably the most fun job I ever had. Lots of cute girls on staff, we'd throw the NERF football around while cleaning the theaters. The only adults were the manager and the projectionists. Boy were those projectionists an eccentric group, with crazy stories.
My man are you by any chance a time traveler? You can tell me, I'm open minded. Cause these videos you've been posting are insanely out of this world, I can't get enough of them. Keep em coming please.
In 2001, people would watch video tapes of 1978 and claim it was a better time. In 2047, people will watch videos of 2024 and claim it was a better time. I'm saying 2001 had its good moments, but nostalgia is a powerful tool.
Not me defiantly not , because watching many time travel movies slightest change in time could effect future time line . I could of ended up being married to the wrong girl and all kinds of problems .
It's crazy - the Regal I go to has a big ticket booth in front that is always empty since covid. They must've learned they don't need it. Everyone's using kiosks or ordering via the phone app these days. I don't supremely miss a ticket booth experience, but it's interesting how I've moved on from it completely, just so it can be a thing of the past. No more legit "movie tickets" that I used to try to keep for posterity.
I use Letterboxd now to track all my viewings. I've documented all my theatrical viewings going back to the early nineties which is as far back as I can remember.
very interesting, back when it was square soft and not square enix. just by watching this i can just can smell the video! yumm! and wow everyone still had cash on hand and actually looked clean and decent!
Im 32 i remember going to the movies with my dad in the early 2000s as kid seeing Tomb Raider, Queen of the Damned, Fast and Furious, Chronicles of Riddick, Scooby Doo, X-Men, The Recess movie,Scary Movie 2 etc...kids now will never understand and how cheap it used to be lol
I too remember this; it was such a fun time and a great family outing; I loved going to the movies with my dad! I remember seeing so many good movies; Spy Kids; The Grinch, Tomb Raider etc 😊❤😊❤😊❤ I miss it 😢
Oh yeah, this is when Hannibal came out! I saw it at an AMC Southroads 20 theater. I saw a trailer for Blow at the end there lol! Back when they were still using REAL film projectors and not practically showing a blown up blu ray on the screen from the digital projectors we have now.

This would be around February or March of 2001 better times. If you where a wrestling fan you would of probably been playing WWF No Mercy and watching the close end of the Monday night wars.
The days where one person gets the concessions while another brave soul tries to hold 5-6 seats with their jackets and purses. "Is that seat taken?" Or it was standing in lines in hopes you can get a good seat. Now with reserved seating, plush seats, and ass warmers we've been spoiled and overcharged.
I took my little brother to see Lord of the Rings in 2001 when it was released. I'll remember it for the rest of my life. Different world back then. In many ways it was much better.
I went a saw Deadpool and Wolverine earlier this year and it costed me around $50 just for three seats. Even though I enjoyed the film, I told myself that would be the last movie I would ever go to the theater to see, the prices these days are legit insane.
Movie theaters are on the extinction list, kids. Watch them as they once were. Majestic creatures that provided joy and stale popcorn and watered down Coke. One day soon they will be gone forever.
But it's fine because if everything is on streaming, then you can pirate it for free 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 Also, you don't have to deal with kids not shutting tf up, playing music and UA-cam videos throughout the film, people talking, taking phone calls, all the annoying crap that comes with going to a watch a movie in a cinema.
2001 was a really good year for movies. Me and my cousins went to so many movies here in Seattle and back then nobody was on Instagram looking at their smart phones all day back then movie theaters mostly accepted cash now you gotta pull out your plastic to pay to pay $27 for hotdog and a soda, and that’s not counting the price of the movie ticket
@@RolandKoller90 not always true some movie theaters, depending on what time you go only accept credit cards over here in Seattle some movie theater chains don’t take cash
My local theater closed down because of the pandemic. It was a huge place and it kinda blows my mind that it’s just gone now. It has now became an Amazon hub.
You know the one thing I've noticed in all these videos on this channel is that no one is getting pissed off that they're being recorded. People today flip out when you recording them. What a difference 20 years makes between civility and being a total asshole.
A see the usual pre 9/11 comments which i can notice and resonate with. Although I worked in a cinema from 2006-2011 and this natural vibe and feeling was still there, although it faded around 2010, smartphones I guess..
It started to fade mid 2008 when the recession hitted. It was an overnight thing and the mood started to change. I remember those faces in high school they were mad or sad and confused.
Wow. First, everyone is using cash, and second, the theater is actually full of people who are excited to be there. These 2 things don't exist anymore.
Sometimes I feel like reality just shifts. A touch screen computer in 2001? I don't remember there being any computers with a touch screen back then. Maybe it's just me and I never noticed some businesses were set up like this. I still love the movies. The vibe is definitely not the same as it was back then though. The concession food is priced way too high now. But I still get decent movie prices as the movie theaters around me offer certain days with discounted tickets.
@xjohnny1000 I was actually speaking with a family member a bit ago and they remembered them. I guess I just never really paid attention. 1990 wow how could I not have noticed this my entire childhood 😅.
Things were starting to become more "futuristic" by the early 2000s and even late 90s. Except then, the new tech wasn't everywhere like it is now, nor was it completely taking over our lives yet. it was a nice mix of contemporary and old school, imo.

I'd rather stand in line and wait a hour to get good seats than spend more money on processing fees to reserve seats online.
Do you also have 2010s footage, even though there’s already videos of it since UA-cam is mainstream?
Another huge year i went to the movies constantly ❤
When people were making $6-7 and hour but provided good service …. Now they get $15 and 💩 service and EXPECT a tip for doing nothing 🤦🏻♂️
Your videos don't show up on my subscription feed anymore
2001 is closer to the 70s than it is to now
well thats true but partly misleading, its only closer to 1979 than now
4:08 Howdy! 😀
The last bald dudes that didn't shave their head.
I took my little brother to see Lord of the Rings in 2001 when it was released. I'll remember it for the rest of my life. Different world back then. In many ways it was much better.
I went a saw Deadpool and Wolverine earlier this year and it costed me around $50 just for three seats. Even though I enjoyed the film, I told myself that would be the last movie I would ever go to the theater to see, the prices these days are legit insane.
Could you please upload a video focusing on Black Friday shopping at a Mankato, MN Walmart store in 2007? My parents were in it.
Movie theaters are on the extinction list, kids. Watch them as they once were. Majestic creatures that provided joy and stale popcorn and watered down Coke. One day soon they will be gone forever.
It’s sad because it’s not like I don’t enjoy the theater. There’s just no movies worth watching anymore
But it's fine because if everything is on streaming, then you can pirate it for free 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Also, you don't have to deal with kids not shutting tf up, playing music and UA-cam videos throughout the film, people talking, taking phone calls, all the annoying crap that comes with going to a watch a movie in a cinema.
And hopefully with it too, overpaid Hollywood actors.
@@Cake... that would be the only benefit but you know that’s never gonna happen
This is when popcorn was given to you HOT and not that room temperature crap you can buy from grocery stores.
I love those Square Soft popcorn bags. Too bad the company’s movie business plans destroyed them then forced them to merge with Enix. . .
2001 was a really good year for movies. Me and my cousins went to so many movies here in Seattle and back then nobody was on Instagram looking at their smart phones all day back then movie theaters mostly accepted cash now you gotta pull out your plastic to pay to pay $27 for hotdog and a soda, and that’s not counting the price of the movie ticket
Everywhere accepts cash 😂
@@RolandKoller90 not always true some movie theaters, depending on what time you go only accept credit cards over here in Seattle some movie theater chains don’t take cash
6:31 Don Callis very happy with his pop corn
Old times
can you please upload more Toys r us from 2000 to 2009🥺
My local theater closed down because of the pandemic. It was a huge place and it kinda blows my mind that it’s just gone now. It has now became an Amazon hub.
Oh wow, FF9 popcorn bags, that's hella awesome!
7:32 Final Fantasy IX!? I wasn't expecting to see that!
You know the one thing I've noticed in all these videos on this channel is that no one is getting pissed off that they're being recorded. People today flip out when you recording them. What a difference 20 years makes between civility and being a total asshole.
A see the usual pre 9/11 comments which i can notice and resonate with. Although I worked in a cinema from 2006-2011 and this natural vibe and feeling was still there, although it faded around 2010, smartphones I guess..
The 2010s is definitely when things took a sharp turn towards where we are now, imo.
It started to fade mid 2008 when the recession hitted. It was an overnight thing and the mood started to change. I remember those faces in high school they were mad or sad and confused.
Ah, I was a not so young 40 years old in 2001! I still have DVDs I bought then I haven't watched yet 😮
Do you miss the early 2000s?
Very cool. Please more Maryland videos from the 80s 90s wheaton Maryland
Damn, 2001 was -- and likely always will be -- the craziest year of my life.
Buddy, when's the last time a movie theater promoted a video game such as The Bouncer?
This better become a netflix x National Geographic documentary series
The Bouncer popcorn bag 😁 I have that music CD This is PlayStation 2 era 😁
Someone build a time machine please
Wow. First, everyone is using cash, and second, the theater is actually full of people who are excited to be there.
These 2 things don't exist anymore.
It exists just not in very large quantities. Streaming and COVID-19 really killed everything as far as the movie going experience
July 2001 max payne released exclusive to pc .then by 2001 end december released ps2 xbox
Are you the one that shot all the footage on your channel?
2001 november syphon filter 3 released on PS1 exclusive last gen exclusive not on PS2.
Sometimes I feel like reality just shifts. A touch screen computer in 2001? I don't remember there being any computers with a touch screen back then. Maybe it's just me and I never noticed some businesses were set up like this. I still love the movies. The vibe is definitely not the same as it was back then though. The concession food is priced way too high now. But I still get decent movie prices as the movie theaters around me offer certain days with discounted tickets.
I used to design kiosks and the first touch-screen kiosk I installed was 1990.
@xjohnny1000 I was actually speaking with a family member a bit ago and they remembered them. I guess I just never really paid attention. 1990 wow how could I not have noticed this my entire childhood 😅.
I used a touch screen monitor at Space Camp in 1984.
Things were starting to become more "futuristic" by the early 2000s and even late 90s. Except then, the new tech wasn't everywhere like it is now, nor was it completely taking over our lives yet. it was a nice mix of contemporary and old school, imo.
Take me back TAKE ME BACK I don't want to live with TicTok Nooooooooooooooooooooooo
Jet Li's Kiss of the Dragon and The One were released at the time. The One is a B-movie with candy-coated visuals.
Can you do a video of going to the movies in 2008
What’s the lady cashier doing tapping the computer screen? Ain’t no way that’s a touch screen in 2001…. 😤
Look like it...
Touch screens in retail have been around since the early 90s
Good vid.
I wonder what was playing that day?
That video was taken the same month Loews Cineplex went bankrupt. The beginning of the end.
My childhood
its me or the auditorium in that time was huge and betters, i never like the stadium style!
Holy fuck Hannibal was good in theaters!!!
is it me or did a lot of people pay more with cash than using a card?...interesting
Debit cards were so common in 2001 i dont know why everyone is paying cash its not the eighties or early nineties.
