Just watched this movie last night. This one was always good.

Just watched this last night, just one day after the release date in 2004 (May 28). This was one of my favorite movies of the summer and have always been impressed by the visual effects. I think about it when we experience weather anomalies, and it really sets the tone of climate change. I also remember discussing the movie with a Bible study group and one thing that was offensive to them is that they felt the movie was anti-Bush, as the VP in the movie was a portrail of Dick Cheney. It also reminded me of Trump this year ignoring the warning about the pandemic. I'm sure those same church members are supporting Trump today.

I remember people often citing 2004 as "the last old-school year". It was the last year before YouTube and Web 2.0, the last year Bush was relatively popular, the last year Nick and Cartoon Network still had the 90s shows, the last year before ringtone rap became popular, the last year WWE still had The Rock, the last year where dial-up was still common, etc.

I do miss 2004 (except for Bush and dial-up), it felt like an equilibrium year of the old and new.

I was 5. 2004 is a year that I have a lot of nostalgia for and great memories of. I can remember my Mum coming back home from her holiday to Bali with this huge stack of pirated PS2 games, which was awesome for me at the time! "The Wild Thornberrys", "Jimmy Neutron" and "Spongebob" were some of my favourite shows. I can distinctively remember hearing songs like "Left Outside Alone", "Hey Ya!" and "Behind Blue Eyes" in the car with my Mum, so many of the songs from back then make me feel so nostalgic.

I really enjoyed this video.

I should have led the thread off with it, but then again I wanted to post specifics. Too bad we can only choose 2 videos.

Anyhow I watched this movie recently. I remember the tagline "Whoever wins, we lose". Sounds like this year's elections, lol.

About a month late, but here are some highlights from the Athens Olympics OC. This is one Olympics I missed because I didn't have cable (let alone TiVo) at the time.

First half of the year: I was in my toughest academic semester ever. I felt like I wasn't understanding anything. (That's also when I first joined this site, as stated in a previous post. I just know that it felt good to join a nice online community.)

Second half of the year: I had a "take-it-easy" semester, in which I toyed with the idea of changing my academic semester.

Summary of the 2004 elections. Back when George W. Bush was the incumbent, and Donald Trump was hosting on The Apprentice.

Anyone remember this iPod commercial? I was thinking about it when I was listening to the Black Eyed Peas Elephunk album.

I believe this commercial was from 2004 if my memory serves right.

I've also been listening to Usher's Confessions album (the extended version) on Spotify.

I remember the song Confessions Part 2 and I've always wondered what happened to Part 1?  ???

This was one of the most popular songs of 2004

I remember the song Confessions Part 2 and I've always wondered what happened to Part 1?  ???


Part 1 was the interlude which includes the phone call and from when he sang "Every time I was in L.A. I was with my ex-girlfriend..." to when he said "But there's more... listen". On the album it was 2 separate tracks even though in the music video it was combined as one.

In 2020 he was supposed to release the album titled Confessions Part 2 but that could cause confusion with the song of the same name.

Here's my list of all the things I think 2004 is remembered for:

- Music: Usher, Black Eyed Peas, Kanye West, Maroon 5, Green Day, Ciara, Gwen Stefani, Hoobastank, Evanescence, The Killers
- Movies: Mean Girls, 13 Going on 30, Napoleon Dynamite, I-Robot, The Day After Tomorrow, Passion of the Christ, The Notebook, Saw, The Village, The Grudge
- TV: Lost, Desperate Housewives, House, The Apprentice, Pimp My Ride
- Video games: GTA San Andreas
- Ronald Reagan's death as well as Yasser Arafat, Christopher Reeve, Ray Charles, and Rick James
- The Elections between GWB and John Kerry (including the Howard Dean speech during the primary)
- The Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece
- SpaceShipOne flight
- Kyle Jennings winning streak on Jeopardy
- Red Sox winning the World Series for the first time since 1918 (breaking the "Curse of the Bambino")
- The Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction at the Superbowl Halftime Show
- The "basketbrawl" between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons (mainly Ron Artest who jumped into the stands and fought with spectators)
- The Ashlee Simpson lip synching fail on SNL and the awkward hoe down dance
- 4 hurricanes in the Southeastern US which was a lot at the time (Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne)
- The ongoing Iraq War (especially in Fallujah)
- The earthquake/tsunami in Indonesia/Indian Ocean the day after Christmas. The only event that remotely resembled what seemed to be regular news in 2020.

That's all I can think of. Please feel free to add anything.

This was one of the most popular songs of 2014



Actually, it was a huge hit 11 years before that, way back in '03. :o

They did have another big hit in '04, with "My Immortal."

I meant 2004. It was a typo.  :P

No worries ;)

But yeah, I do remember "My Immortal" all over the radio then.

One of my favorite Christmas movies of all time. I remembered watching this in the theater and it really changed my mood for the better.

I remember watching this ad when flying home from Christmas on a Delta flight for its former subsidiary airline, Song. The song featured is "Wish I" by Jem.

Ah yes, 2004. The year before I was born. At least I was conceived in the late part of it.

I feel really young here.
