I still think of 2008 as 5-7 years ago... how has it been 16?
That is because technology is stuck
@@noize2sound This is true
Exactly 😂😆 It's like 2008 is barely a decade ago. 16 sounds crazy
@@noize2soundYes
that's because of the old pants.
The world changed fast after the late 00s. It's crazy how 2008 feels nostalgic now.
It's so nostalgic, that if they made Vice City today with the same time gap, it would be GTA IV!
this was so recent yet so long time ago... in 4 years it will be 20 years...
I was a teenager in 2008. I was 16 yrs old! I miss does days! I am now 32..a Mom&married ..lol thats crazy I remembered this year like it was yesterday... life is short...
Definitely not true with that spelling
I almost cried when it ended lol.
I was 14 years old going in to 2008. I’ll be 31 later this year in December. I’m getting old!
I was 25 years old.
i was 5
Interesting time in history as smart phones were just coming out in masses and movies like Dark Knight hitting theaters.
Had the LG VU that year and a back up V3XX
I would agree that 2008 was the start of the modern era of technology we have been in for the last 10 to 12 years.
🧢
@@xpensfanatic2009reminder that 2008 was 16 years ago now. you're getting old!
We still had the anxiety of queuing through a cinema ticket line only for the show to sell out
Oh man, I turned 14 in 2008. I remember seeing Wall-E, Dark Knight, and Tropic Thunder in theaters. It was a good time
same here! Now we are 30…..
@@editorgrayson1073 I am 10 years older and saw wall-e three times at the cinema.
@@TauruSeason I have you like movie theaters or streaming services ?
Yep i was 14 also and i just turned 30 last week
I was 12, I remember seeing Wall-E, Dark Knight that August and there was another superhero movie with Will Smith called Hancock I remember seeing
I worked at a movie theater in 2008.
Good memories.
I used to have to actually climb a marquee above interstate 75 and change the letters out.
What a time to be alive.
Long live Showcase Erlanger!
Really weird to think about this being a significant amount of time ago. It was before things had gotten so crazy as they are now. Really wish I would have taken advantage of those times in a better way than I did
Same.. I guess I thought I was gonna be a teenager forever 💀
Same.
I mean this was the same year of a recession and a rather significant election (which I'd say worked out for the better imo) so I wouldn't exactly say it was entirely free of craziness lol
but hey the Olympics were pretty cool
@@h0lly_blue I was laid off for a few months when the stock market crashed.
I remember thinking 2008 was so boring and that this is how the rest of life would be. Boy was I wrong.
I was there opening day. Will never forget the intro bank robbery and the audience reaction throughout the whole movie.
Incredible year for movies.
-The Dark Knight
-Wall-E
-Iron Man
-Kung Fu Panda
-Tropic Thunder
-Cloverfield
What a year!
Don’t forget Delgo and Disaster Movie!
You could have left Cloverfield off that list 😊
Gran Torino and Rambo
Don't mess with the zohan 😁😂
Synecdoche, New York
The Midnight Meat Train
Repo! The Genetic Opera
and not to forget Step Brothers
I remembered going to see this movie when it came out. Im now 26 years old... time does fly.😢
I'm 26 too about to turn 27
Damn, I was too young, wish I could have seen it on theatres
I went to see the entire trilogy... one of the best ever made
I was 18 and now I'm going on 35 😢 haha
Which one, The Dark Knight?
2008. What a great year for both games and movies!
@@BRIANOCONNOR2003 how so?
I mean...for cinema, absolutely. In America anyway, the country was on the brink of another Great Depression.
@@gierer797 because we used to get movies that felt like it only belongs in 2008
And we had some commercials that were weird like that axe body spray chocolate commercial
But that's not saying much
Because there were some stingers
I remember going to see the dark knight when it first came out in theaters. I remember it being in July of 2008. I like watching these videos. It brings me back to the good old days when I was a kid.
takes me back to the good old days when I was 36.
I was in high school then. My parents took me to see The Dark Knight in theaters because I was upset about Heath's death. RIP 💖
Same!
This is a gold mine from the thumbnail alone! This is why I sub and love this channel!
Thanks Jacob. Very kind words 😊
Dark Knight, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Iron Man. Good memories!
I was 8. 2008, especially the summer of that year, was one of the best moments of my life. My favourite Pixar movie came out that year. Hard to believe its now over 15 years old, and the animation is still very current. I also loved watching Bee Movie that summer as well, which came out in 2007. And being from Texas, we had hurricanes Ike and Gustav.
I am in Houston and remember all of this.
I immediately think back to what I was doing during this time and it really hits just how long ago it was yet it feels like yesterday.
I was a sophomore in highschool, the world of 2008 was so similar yet just off by a bit. The era of smartphones was in it's infancy and even though the Internet by then had become an integral part of life it was still largely confined to desktops and laptops, it didn't necessarily go everywhere with us like it does now, that's what I genuinely miss.
Definitely. That was the 2000s though, so much technological innovation in its infancy. The whole decade was like an odd mixture of the old and the newly emerging. It was the last unique decade IMO.
@@charlesswitzer8378
So many experimental shapes and formats for all the different devices, I adored having a slider phone.
@@nathanventura548 Exactly! I miss Windows XP and digital video recorders haha.
Does that bring back so many memories! I remember all the hype and reacting surrounding The Dark Knight at the time.
The release of "The Dark Knight" was such a huge event in 2000s pop culture.
I watched it 8 times in theaters over the course of several weeks, and each time the theater was packed.
I'm a lifelong Midwesterner. i was 9 years old and vacationing in nyc the week this video was shot. I'm 25 now. i don't recall a lot from that trip, but I vividly remember the dark knight posters everywhere. I will always associate those theatrical release posters with my first time in new york. amazing footage. this channel is a gem, thank you!
i was 5 in '08
Too bad Heath Ledger never got to see The Dark Knight (2008), he would be so proud of his own performance as The Joker.
Wasn't he in brokeback mountain ?
@@javiervega1065 And 10 Things I Hate About You (1999).
@@markkenny2001 But his role as The Joker was a whole lot better than those 2 roles.
Absolutely sad indeed and it even topped the Jack Nicholson's Joker back in 1989.
@@jasonpalacios1363 that brokeback mountain deplorable role will forever be a stain on his career
I also remember me and my bro had to buy star wars the animated movie tickets just to go to sneak into tropic thunder. Dam i had so many good memories in 08. It was truly a time where i think it was the last time things were normal before the smartphone era took over and well here we are now. In 08 you had to be on a desktop computer to write this comment lol
I was a sophomore in High School in 2008 and I remember everybody talking about going to the movies to see Dark Knight and it was so dope 🔥! Following with Grand Theft Auto 4 coming out that summer 🔥🔥🔥🔥 2008 was really the mold year of when technology drastically changed! 16 years ago feels like yesterday to me and during that time period in my life because everyone was alive
this is literally the last good year.
R.i.p. heath Ledger.
Back when movies were worth watching in theaters
Ah yes, right after I graduated high school. I loved going to the movies with my high school sweetheart, who I married in 2016. Well, she made me a moviegoer during those early years of dating. Some good movies that came out during that time period.
Remember seeing Hancock that year and thinking it was such a awesome super hero movie! Still do, and that it’s underrated. Hoping for a sequel but there wasn’t one.
Probably the first movie theater shown on this channel that I've gone to numerous times
My God. This channel is like time machine. Thanks for that
2008…i had 11 years and that was a great year with the movies
Iron Man
Dark Knight
Kung Fu Panda
The Edward Norton..Incredible Hulk
Indiana Jones 4
Madagascar 2
The Transporter 3
The Mummy 3
etc 😎
If you meant you were 11 years old, me too!
2008 was 16 years ago folks! 😳😳😳
That’s hard to accept
Ikr 😮
Doesn't even make any sense. 2008 feels like a different life of planet at this point.
It still feels so recent but I was a sophomore in high school that year and remember hating it. Hard to believe that I actually feel nostalgic about it.
What's even harder to accept is if they made Vice City now with the same time gap, it would be GTA IV!
Goated era for movies
I remember seeing many movies in cinemas back in 2008, the two standouts being Iron Man and The Dark Knight. I was 7 years old at the time. Pretty cool that both of those films would be remembered years later as game changers for the superhero genre.
Streaming a movie is nice but the movie going experience will never be beat.
I was a high school student and got my driver's license that year. Scary how fast time flies
Man, my senior year of high school still feels like yesterday. Going to the movies with my friends before we would all go our separate ways for college doesn't seem like it was 16 years ago...
Wow! I still remember that summer and the anticipation I had for The Dark Knight, and how it lived up to the hype. Some people may forget how huge that film was, and how everyone was talking about it. Such great times!
Ohhhhhhhh 🤤. A classic time to see that *phenomenal* 👌 movie called The Dark Knight. 2008 was an epic year for movie releases. Another great movie I loved and wished they made a sequel for it is called “Wanted”. Such a huge miss they never followed up on.
Edit: I should download this video to re-live 2008 all over again…
I spent most of the 2000's deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, but one of the best moments actually was seeing TDN in an actual theater on the Air Force side of Balad Air Base in Iraq. Yes, Air Force always had access to the nicest stuff!
Beautiful footage
Man, I was 4 back in 2008 holy crap
Wow this takes me back . I remember me, my brother and my friend went to go see Hancock in theater during summer. Good times.
Thanks For The Retro Upload! Perfect Timing, It's Sunday, tommaro work will suck blah, blah, blah.👍🏻🇺🇲
🤣🤣
I remember being a sophomore in highschool when TDK came out in theaters, My family and I went opening weekend and the place was PACKED like crazy, it received standing ovations when the credits rolled, never had another experience like that. Good times.
Dark Knight was the first that i never went for a bathroom break.
9:19 I think thats Hellboy:The Golden army.
I ended up seeing Hellboy 2 that summer when I was 11 during a family vacation
Wow, what a time for movies that was! The Dark Knight, Kung Fu Panda, Wall-E, Tropic Thunder, Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom, etc. There was also Iron Man, which I saw on the opening day!
I was 18 at the time; now I’ll be 34.
Those were simpler times. I wish I could back.
Early 2000s cinema had much exciting and fun place but the late 00s seems it took the fun and exciting as much changed after Internet and iphone started took us.
I believe 80s, 90s, & 00s cinemas are MUCH better that cinema today.
Hit different when you lived through it
Yepp this is equivalent to the jaws and Star Wars audience from back in the days..
SAME man. Crazy that unlike a lot of vids that focus on the 70s to 90s, I grew up in the 2000s and remember 2008 vividly. Hopefully this channel gets a Spider-Man 3 premiere weekend/month vid up if possible because I saw that at a drive thru for my 10th birthday, even though I fell asleep through a lot of it (which fits how most people feel about the movie, but I was also just tired too because we saw it late)
It's 2008 ... literally every adult has lived through it.
So weird to see more vids from you that come from when I was a kid from like 2008-2010. I never saw Dark Knight in theaters but we did see Hellboy 2. Honestly wish we saw Dark Knight instead, but as an 11 year old Spidey diehard, I doubt I would've appreciated it for the masterpiece it is. Also Avatar The Last Airbender ended that summer and I never thought it'd still be thriving now!
I remember seeing the dark knight in the summer of 08. I remember it well cause I never go to night time movies only in the day time idk y just me but I Remember catching the last showing and didn't get out till like almost 1 am with my cousin 😂😂
That year was one of the best years of my life.
Senior year 2008. I was never a movie guy, but IMAX The Dark Knight was sick. 20 years is creeping up quick holy crap.
Yep class of 2008 as well!! Time flew seriously
This year half almost half my life ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. What a bittersweet year.
Fond memories of 2008. The Office, The Big Bang Theory, Summer Olympics Michael Phelps, The Dark Knight, Barack Obama as President, seems like it was just yesterday.
I was at the movies constantly in those days. Deeply deeply miss the variety of movies that used to come out every week. I wish studios would realize that some of us do still want to see smaller movies in a theatre, at least give us the option!
Also oh MAN I wish I'd seen Tropic Thunder in theatre, I only saw it on DVD and I just know the trailers at the beginning would have been even more hilarious in a packed theatre.
There's nothing like seeing les Grossman dancing to Flo Rida on the silver screen
I was 14 years old when that movie came out. Had to drive from one sold out theater to another across the city to watch it, only to be late and sitting in the front row of a crowded and excited auditorium. Still a pretty epic experience! Films were still projected on 35mm film : )
Hard to believe it's been that long already since Dark Knight came out. I went to the Saturday afternoon showing that next day at my AMC theater and still have my ticket stub laying around somewhere.
I was 16 when Dark Knight came out. I remember going to Universal Citywalk to watch the movie. The movie was completely sold out, I had an extra ticket and some random guy outside was desperately trying to get in. I gave him the ticket for free.
This was recorded on my 14th birthday! I also never knew until just a few years ago that the Dark Knight was the last AAA film to be shot on 35mm film.
Awesome! Happy 14th birthday 🥳🧁☺️
@@vampirerobot Hah 16 years later in 3 months.
That theater looked HUGE with the screen! I've gone to many AMCs back then and none close too that room. I never remember the row of seats curving every room I remember was a rectangle. Seats were perfectly straight across. 👍🏻🇺🇲
That was the IMAX screen. Yeah, its really huge
Which movie theater was this filmed at? It actually looks real nice, but maybe because that was a while ago.
Edit: R.I.P Heath Ledger!😢 I couldn’t believe he died at such a young age.
I seen the dark Knight with 10 of my friends and family at midnight will never forget that best movie I ever seen
Wow we still had power tickets back then. It shows how long ago this actually was. Crazy
Still filming stuff on handheld, digital cameras because cameras on phones had not taken over yet.
i was born in 08, i cant wait to see the 10s become old enough to be on this channel, or channels like this one
After Jack Nicholson's role as The Joker in the 1989 version of Batman, no one has ever topped that role until Heath Ledger did back in 2008.
The Dark Knight 😭😭😭 GOOD TIMES!!!! 2008 was a great year for movies!!!
But that's not saying much
Because there were some stingers
Is there going to be "Going to the movies in 2007"?
Yeah I bet you went to go see transformers in 2007 @vampirerobot
man i cant believe i remember goin to the theaters seeing the dark knight as a kid, cars was awesome too.. the culture, people too, movies, drake and lil wayne was on the come up and kayne was making banger albums and Jeezy man where did the time go ;w;
Do you have any footage of universal studios Orlando? I would love to see footage of people on the rides in the 90s
Summer 2008. Btw, can you post some videos about families having fun in the 80s, 90s and 2000s
Wow! This theater goes ALL the way up!
Suppose it has to be a tower for being located on 66th and Broadway in NYC.
Man, 2008 we had, The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Wall-E, and lot of classics, I was 6 that year, time flies fast 😩
But that's not saying much
Because there were some stingers in 2008
I remember my dad and uncle took to our local theater to watch the dark knight, This was the first time I saw a long line of people waiting to get their tickets are to get in. Sadly when we got closer there was a sign that said it was sold out, so instead we decided to watch HellBoy 2, and I still had a good time. That day has always made me make sure to get a ticket in advanced when a anticipated film is coming so it I never miss out. Still kind of wish to have watched that The Dark Knight in theater with a packed audience.
I remember when 2008 felt and looked great, now a days everything the world makes or builds doesnt feel or look as revolutionary as it did back then
I saw The Dark Knight a few times. Probably the last good movie I saw in the theater, back in 2008
i remember watching movies in theaters yrs ago in 2008 it was a relaxin' & cool vibe.
I remember being 10 and watching ironman and kung fu panda back to back, it was great! Cant believe 16 years has gone by
Hi! I couldn't find an email on your account so I'm dropping a comment. What is your policy on other people using these clips in their own videos? Are they available for license somewhere?
Go for it.
@@vampirerobot thank you! If I use them I will credit you 💖
@@vampirerobot Just an idea and if not it's totally cool and your channel is great as is. What about a Y2K compilation? TV footage leading up to it and talking about it, maybe some people capitalizing on it. That's a blast from the past.
Graduated high school in 2008. Havent been to a movie theater but maybe 3 times since then the last time was around 2015
Ah yes, the movie that made cinematic history, the dark knight!
There was an earthquake during the showing of Dark Knight here in southern California so I'll always remember it haha. It was on 07/29/08, a magnitude 5.4 with the epicenter around 40 miles from the theater so the shaking was very noticable haha. The movie theater I used to go to shut down last year, sadly.
I was 9 in 2008 and remembered watching Iron Man, Hulk, and Indiana Jones. I was never into the Dark Knight because i prefer Michael Keaton as Batman lol 2008 was a great year for me. Music was awesome as well.
Nice! Same here, Michael Keaton IS Batman. I appreciate the Dark Knight now but I just didn't get the hype.
One of the last great years for movies 🍿
I love a good time machine. Cheers
Going to the toilet is more exciting than going to the movies today 💩
Wrong
Idk man it was definitely more exciting back then but I still enjoy it
Who hurt you, bro?
He's got a point. I do see better movies on the toilet with my phone or tablet than in the theater
I went to see TDK in theaters so many times with my other 13 yr old friends. When the shooting in Colorado happened… my dad never went to a movie theater ever again.
The first touch screens and wifi public too and cellphones.
I really remember WiFi taking off in 2008 and 2009.
2008 was when i saw Kung fung panda and space chimps (remember that movie?) I was 11 at the time. In grade 6 about to get ready for graduation. I still have my art award to this day. Good times
I was at the movies in 2008. Rave Motion Pictures was an incredible place.
The Dark Knight was super promoted that summer.
back in 2008 when The Dark Knight came out, I was scared of The Joker I didn’t want to see it, but they forced me to go anyway.
Strange as this is, I just went and watched this movie in theaters with my wife last night! Never got to see it in theaters during its original run.
It's almost like I can see my earliest memories
2008 just does not seem nostalgic -- then you realize that was 16 years ago...
Now this, I remember. I grew up in the 2000s. Good times
I also grew up in mid 00's, it was short that i dont remember but i glad i grew up instead live in this dystopia hellhole world.
Love to have all this the dark knight posters
Was This During Opening Hours?
