Title: Changing the game: Beverly Hills 90210 watching club?
Post by: TVC15 on May 15, 2007, 11:15:52 PM
I just nabbed season 1, and this has considerably more camp and cheese value than Dawson's Creek.  Anyone object?  I will start uploading an ep tonight.

I'd watch it for the camp. I barely remember it. Why did you waste your money on either set though? You should own looney tunes sets.

I was either going to get Dynasty, Dallas or 90210.  Actually, I think I thought Dynasty and Dallas were the same show.  I have a thing for really campy primetime soaps.  In the end, 90210 won out because it is fun seeing 20-30 year olds act like teenagers, and because I'm more attached to the early 90s than I am the 80s.

Also, some of the episode description sound so dated and hilarious:  "Brenda was prepared to go ALL THE WAY, but a speech from an AIDS activist slowed her down." "Pillowtalk threatens to destroy Brenda's sleepover as the girls share their deepest secrets, with unexpected results." "Both Walsh twins face the pressure to drink alcohol when their freinds are doing it all around them."

Plus, Tori Spelling's hilariously awful acting is brilliant.

I cant wait to laugh my ass off. Dynasty and Dallas would have been good choices too. But what about baywatch? that shit is campy too.

"Minneapolis?  But isn't it really cold there?"

I'd watch an episode. I'm old enough to remember this show, but young enough to not have been into it.

I do remember girls in my 4th grade crash being upset when Dillan or whoever got in a car wreck. I don't know why I remember that.

I can't believe you're watching this, White Man.  I'm pretty sure watching 90210 kills more brain cells than smoking weed, and I'm sure it's less enjoyable.

So far, 3 eps in, this is infinitely more entertaining than Dawson's Creek.

Pacey fucks that hot teacher in the first season of Dawson's Creek.  That is totally hot.  Nothing that cool happens in 90210.  What're you going to do after you finish with that? Are you going to move on to Seventh Heaven or something? :/

90210 is pretty much the best show ever made.

Kelly is smoking hot, and Valerie, holy shit Tiffani Amber Theissen has never looked better or thicker  :-*

I have about three years worth on tape, alongside the best years of Party of Five (including The Intervention).  It's pretty much the best tv that's ever aired.

Anyone remember the show where Steve's drug friend O.Ded?  They had a memorial for him, and people left flowers and cards where he died.  Someone put a plastic bong there lol

Steve picked it up and was like "Who put this here?  Who put a pot pipe here?

Best line ever.  He then goes into this anti-drug diatribe.  What's the matter Steve?  Getting high is all fun and games until someone dies huh?

I prefer the later, Valerie years of 90210 to the very early years of this garbage.  Brian Austin Green is a little too Vanilla Ice for my tastes when the show first starts, although it's funny watching him morph from geek with suicidal friend to ultra hip music mogul who graduates with his popular older friends.

Oh, and Claire...holy shit Claire...How that girl hasn't gotten more acting roles I'll never know  :-*

I'll get an ep up after work tonight. Last night ended up being kind of cramped.  BECAUSE I WATCHED TOO MUCH 90210!

And I have already seen most of 7th Heaven.  Also, I had a wet dream last night about Luke Perry.  He is easily the hottest male to come out of the 90s.

Eh, that's fine.... I'm probably going to finish up season two of Doctor Who tonight... I'm on the VERY LAST EPISODE.

Cybermen AND Daleks? Sweet god.

Episode will be uploaded tonight.  Since the first episode is a 2 hour ep, I am going to see if I can't find a logical way to break it into 2 parts.  I am still experimenting with the most economical encoding.

I'm trying to keep it to approximately 100-120 megs per 45 minutes of television, and I'm trying to find the right marriage of quality and resolution.  Unfortunately transcoding takes a while so each attempt takes a half hourish to do.

Not for this episode, at least.  I'm trying to figure out the best encoding settings, and I'm trying to get this done as quickly as possible.  No time for adding a line right now.

I scrapped the putting it up in 2 parts thing because there wasn't a decisive splitting point.  As of right now, it LOOKS like it's going to clock in at about 250-300 megs (if this current transcode turns out well).  It's a double episode (130some minutes), so future episodes will be less than half that size.  I'm just trying to get this one up ASAP.
