I find it a little difficult to remember just what I saw in the theaters that year, but this next list is probably the stuff. If I didn't see these films that year, it was very soon after. 

GoldenEye

Batman Forever

Tommy Boy

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls

The Celluloid Closet

Rumble in the Bronx

 

GoldenEye. Bond with Pierce Bronson. It was good. Not the best Bond movie, but worth seeing. 

Batman Forever. Well, Val Kilmer wasn't the best Batman, but I was a huge Jim Carrey fan and couldn't wait to see him as the Riddler. 

Tommy Boy. Chris Farley and David Spade at their finest. I still sing that tune, "Fat guy in a little coat."

Ace Venture: When Nature Calls. Sequel to the first Ace Venture movie. I like it even better than the first because it's so over-the-top, it's like a live-action cartoon; frickin' love every minute of it, and could put it on any day, all day, like the way three year olds watch movies. Ask me to quote from it sometime. I know every minute of it. 

The Celluloid Closet. This one's about the way Hollywood has depicted LGBT characters over its history. I distinctly remember seeing this in an art house theater because it was on limited release. Really interesting. 

Rumble in the Bronx. A Jackie Chan martial arts film. Everyone was talking about the moment someone gets thrown in a tree-shredder, so I eventually saw it. I'd seen The Legend of the Drunken Master the year before and thought it was one of the best martial arts films ever. This one's pretty darn awesome too. 

For TV, I still wasn't watching much, but this list is some stuff I saw and knew about. 

Star Trek Voyager [TV]

Aeon Flux [TV]

Pinky and the Brain [TV]

Wallace & Gromit: A Close Shave [TV]

 

I didnt' watch much of Star Trek Voyager, but the trailers for it made me think it was going to be great. I thought it was really going to do something new with Star Trek with a female captain and a lost-in-space story. Of course, it wasn't all that, and later, when they added sexy Seven of Nine, my inner feminist was hugely insulted and wouldn't watch another minute of it. I'm still fuming about that.

Aieon Flux was this strange scifi animated show on MTV. I got hooked on it and dug it's bizarre characters and story. Man those French tongue kissing scenes were weirdly animated. Tentacle-tongues, I call them. 

Pinky and the Brain was an Animaniacs spin-off show my friend Mark watched religiously. Through him, I have all the quotes I need to add stupid fun to video gaming weekends, "Narf!" "Zort!"

I was a Wallace and Gromit fan and saw all these English claymation short movies. A Close Shave was the newest one. I remember one of my sisters told me she thought the show was creepy. Bah! Not!

And that's my limited screen views for '95. Later on I saw a lot more movies that came out this year, and I have a dozen more I'd like to see too. Oh time.
