Nineties fashion is back, but our favorite films from the decade never went away. This Halloween, members of the 605 Magazine & Dainty Obsessions staff channel some of our favorite 90s characters.
Forrest Gump (Paramount, 1994)
John Snyder
605 Magazine director
of sales & marketing
Man at Bench: “It was a bullet, wasn’t it?”
Forrest Gump: “A bullet?”
Man at Bench: “That jumped up and bit you.”
Forrest Gump: “Oh, yes sir. Bit me right in the buttocks. They said it was a million dollar wound, but the army must keep that money ’cause I still haven’t seen a nickel of that
million dollars.”
Wayne Campbell Wayne’s World (Paramount, 1992)
Alana Snyder
publisher
Wayne: “Okay, so I still live with my parents, which I admit is bogus and sad. However, I do have a cable access show, and I still know how to party. But what I’d really like is to do Wayne’s World for a living. It might happen. Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt.”
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Morgan Creek, 1994)
Liz Painter
Art Director
Ace Ventura: “This is double pain, soundproof glass. There’s no way that neighbor could have heard Podacter scream on the way down with that door shut. The scream she heard came from inside this apartment, before he was thrown over the balcony and the murderer closed the door before he left. YES YES!!! OH YEAH CAN YA FEEL THAT BUDDY? HUH HUH HUH HUH! I HAVE EXERCISED THE DEMONS … this house is clear.”
Maude Lebowski The Big Lebowski (Polygram, 1998)
Denise DePaolo
605 Magazine
managing editor
Maude: “I am one of two trustees of the Lebowski Foundation, the other being my father. The Foundation takes youngsters from Watts and–”
The Dude: “Sh** yeah, the achievers.”
Maude: “Little Lebowski Urban Achievers, yes, and proud we are of all of them. I asked my father about his withdrawal of a million dollars from the Foundation account and he told me about this abduction, but I tell you it is preposterous. This compulsive fornicator is taking my father for the proverbial ride.”
Trinity The Matrix (Warner Bros., 1999)
Emily Swan
Dainty Obsessions
sales manager
Trinity: “It’s the question that drives us, Neo. It’s the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did.”
Neo: “What is the Matrix?”
Trinity: “The answer is out there, Neo, and it’s looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.”
