10 Reasons The Early 90s Were Better Than The Early 2010s

10. Movies Had More Impact

Assuming you were alive, you probably don’t remember what you were doing on the day Pulp Fiction came out, but you damn sure remember the buzz that surrounded its release.

Time edits out the clunkers and embarrassments, so it’s easy to glamourize the past and forget that Leprechaun made more money than Reservoir Dogs, but movies had more impact back then. They left a cultural footprint, as it were.

To illustrate the point: Pulp came out to great reviews and saturation advertising (winning Quentin Tarantino a screenwriting Oscar in the process), but more than that, it was an event. 18 years later, Django Unchained came out to great reviews and saturation advertising (winning Quentin Tarantino a screenwriting Oscar in the process), but you knew it’d be available on Netflix in a few months, assuming it wasn’t already streaming on pirate sites.
