Feel free to join us creating your own post, just place it in the Nineties Friday community and add a shoutout to @geneeverett just to be safe.
Today I've already seen a couple entries and they were a lot of fun. Including references to the Jerry Springer Show by @whywhy . He only for got to add in Ricky Lake...
To kick off this week's post I decided to go with another Tim Burton classic movie, "The Nightmare Before Christmas". It will be returning the theaters on October 11, 2024 if you want to have the original theater experience! I thought of this one because of the re-release and the success "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice" is having at the box office right now. I haven't seen it yet, any of you?
Back to "The Nightmare Before Christmas"... This stop motion animated movie became a classic for both Halloween and Christmas. Production was started in July 1991 and the movie released in October 1993. This movie teamed Hollywood legends Tim Burton and Danny Elfman yet again, Elfman doing to music and singing voice of lead character Jack Skellinton and Burton producing. In the movie Skellington is the king of Halloween but finds himself bored with it. After stumbling upon Christmas town he decides that he wants to have his own Christmas by replacing Santa Claus. For those who haven't seen it, it's streaming on Disney.
The Mask
slashfilm.com
This 1994 movie starring Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz was a huge success. It also helped further propel both stars career's into mainstream Hollywood. Carrey's character Stanley Ipkiss finds a mask that turns him into a cartoonish character with supernatural abilities. If you haven't seen this one it's well worth the time to watch it. I'm not sure where this one is streaming these days, but you can find most movies on one service or another most of the time!
Now let's move onto some music for the 1990's!
The Offspring
guitarworld.com
Formed in 1984 in Garden Grove, California not far from where I live now. These guys took ten years before they managed to break into mainstream music and did so in a big way with the album "Smash". They did produce two albums prior to this that didn't sell all that well, but if you like the band they have some great music. Today I'll go with the song "Self Esteem" off of the album "Smash":
Inner Circle
www1.wdr.de
I've been in the mood for some Bob Marley lately, sadly he doesn't fit into the 90's very well. So next best thing is a cover of one his songs done in the decade. Inner Circle was originally formed in 1968 in Kingston, Jamaica. Founder Jacob Miller who was friends with Marley died in a car crash in 1980. The band came back with a new lineup in the 1980's and recorded well known song "Bad Boys" used in the TV show Cops. In 1991 they did a cover of the old Bob Marley tune "Sweat":
Because I spent most of the 1990's in countries that really only speak Spanish I usually like to throw in one or two songs from the era.
Lucero
proyectopuente.com.mx
Lucero is a Mexican singer that has been in the business since childhood both acting and singing. In her teen years she went by Lucerito (little Lucero literally) and with here album "Sólo Pienso en Ti" (I only think about you) was her big push into the more adult music market moving away from the teen years. Published in 1991 it became a huge seller throughout Latin America and I recall hearing songs off the album all the time back in '91. Her lead track was the song "Ya No" (Not anymore), great song but isn't one of the best music videos I've ever seen. Remarkably this one was remastered, most videos of this era came from VHS and are really blurry.
That will wrap up this edition of #nintetiesfriday . I hope you enjoyed some or all of the items I shared, they were fun to put together! Please feel free to leave any comments or questions below. I want to thank all of you for all of your support, it really mean a lot to me and is greatly appreciated. I am moving closer to dolphin level every day thanks to you guys! Have a great weekend!

Never heard of Inner Circle! I gotta check em out!
Good ole Offspring again! A classic! La la lalala la la lalala 🎸
Mask and Nightmare are classics indeed! I’d throw Burton’s second Batman movie in same great category! 1992 I believe. Shame we didn’t get a third and final to a trilogy. Instead we got recasting and a crappy follow up made to sell toys. No wonder both star & director didn’t return.
You did not??? It was a #1 song in the Netherlands and even now I just need to hear the name and I go lalalalala long..... !LOLZ

I always wanted to see a third Keaton Batman movie, he played the role so well. Burton has always made great movies, it's a shame he's getting up there in age so we won't likely see much out of him. Then again... Mel Brooks is in his 90's and is finally helping put together Spaceballs 2 and should be in production shortly. You never know!
And rumor was Robin Williams was likely gonna be Riddler. Man woulda been amazing if studio stayed out and let Keaton & Burton make the movie they wanted! !PIMP
Oh darn, I was planning on saying I am more a Ricky Lake guy myself as I had sort of a crush on her.....totally forgot...guess I will need to add that confession to next weeks post
Good old Ricky Lake!

Thank you @ssg-community !
I like that you usually throw a Mexican singer into these. It generally throws me for a loop and helps to keep things fresh!
Today's was a difficult one to find, almost all the videos available were taken from VHS and are garbled messes. This is one of those few from the early 90's that were remastered.
Oh wow, that is crazy!
The Jerry Springer show would still be my choice…. and a very interesting choice !😇……………
Jerry Springer has made quite a name from him himself over the years, getting
his start back in Cincinnati in the 70’s when he was the commencement speaker at my high school graduation!😊
This was shortly after he made the mistake of paying a lady of the evening by check, that made national news!🙄
Never pay those shady ladies in check, stick to cash or money order is the moral of the story I suppose! That is funny he was the speaker at your HS graduation, he sure had a successful career though. I think he passed away last year didn't he?
Wow, I didn’t know he passed away… I guess we’re all getting old😳
An enjoyable read, trip down memory lane plus a bonus that I learned a few new things!
Have a terrific weekend!✌😎 @thebighigg
