It has been 20 years, yes two decades, since Showgirls came out and CinemaSins wanted to remind how horrible it is by showing us everything that is wrong with it. There is so much wrong with it that it took them over 22 minutes to showcase all of its flaws.
So if you don’t remember how painful it was to watch to sit through the movie with Elizabeth Berkley in it, just watch the above video. It is a lot less traumatic, but it will still be etched in your memory for at least another 20 years.
Ever since Jimmy Fallon hosted The Late Show on NBC, he has tried his hardest to facilitate a Saved By the Bell reunion to no avail. I asked him about a year ago, now that he was going to be taking over The Tonight Show if he would try to make that dream come true. He told me, “OMG! I gave up on that. I got bored with that one.”
That was then, and this is now. Tonight, the halls of Bayside High are alive again because it happened! It really really happened. Mark Paul Gosselaar, Mario Lopez, Elizabeth Berkley, Tiffani Amber Thiessen and Dennis Haskins schooled the host about what it was like to be on SBTB and it is like totally awesome!
That’s right Zack, Kelly, Slater and Jessie put on their acid wash jeans and Mr Belding suited up for the occasion and not one of them has aged a day since they graduated from the roles that will forever be a part of childhoods.
I could tell you more about it, but you need to appreciate it for the masterpiece that is. There are so many dope moments in the nearly 9 minute bit that you want to drink them all up. Elizabeth Berkley said it best when she Tweeted to Fallon, “thank you for making this joyful moment for everyone happen! You brought us all back to an innocent time.” It truly was and I am glad for a little bit of time today, we were all innocent again thanks to someone’s fantasy becoming a reality.
We have anxiously been waiting for months to see the beginning of The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story, and today Lifetime released the first five minutes from the telemovie.
After watching those first few minutes, it looks exactly how we knew it was going to be. It’s going to be so bad that it is like going to be like totally awesome. It is like, for sure, going to sweep the Emmys next year.
Seriously, I don’t know about you, but I’m so excited for September 1st. I can’t wait to learn even more about the lives of our favorite high schoolers from the ’90s when the cameras weren’t rolling.
Tell me I am not the only one who is doing a Jesse Spano over this movie, especially after seeing how it all starts out. I am so having a Zack attack as I type!
Twenty-five years ago, teens all over the world were obsessed with Saved By the Bell and Fine Bros wanted to know if today’s teenagers feel the same way about the show. In a word, no.
The boys and the girls that they interviewed hated the clothes, the hair, the stories, the theme song, pretty much everything about it. Which is kind of sad because SBTB is pretty much like those shows on the Disney Channel, and I think they are checking out those silly sitcoms. Which I am not proud to admit I also like. Dang you, Girl Meets World.
Even though I disagree with them about the show, they did have some valid points. That Jesse Spano over the top caffeine high scene was extremely funny, so I found their reactions to it highlarious. I also love that pretty much all the girls chose Zack over Slater. Right now Mario Lopez is hunched up in a corner somewhere over this video. Actually, I am pretty sure the cast of the Saturday Morning sitcom are more upset over the September 1st Lifetime unauthorized movie than this Q&A.
Lifetime released a sneak peek from The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story and the telemovie that debuts on September 1st is going to be an instant classic. I have a feeling it is going to be this year’s Sharknado. As in so bad it is the best thing to happen to television in a while!
