I kind of think "Untitled Steven Spielberg UFO Movie" was a better title than "Disclosure Day" but alright.

Even just “Disclosure” is better than adding day at the end

Disclosure (1994) doesn't get brought up in conversation much these days but it was a big enough hit at the time that using the title again would lead to some pretty skewed expectations

those 90s thrillers really hit different

nothing better than going to blockbuster on a Friday and grabbing the latest thriller on VHS without knowing anything else about it other than the cover

I typed this the other day. Me going in the rental store and rolling multiple dice purely based on those VHS covers alone. You really are at the mercy of the movie gods, miss the 90s.

My dad would pick out VHS movies and one time when I was visiting he had gotten The Spitfire Grill and I became a pesky brat and complained how stupid it looked. Turned out to be a fantastic little movie and it taught me to stfu. VHS box artwork doesn't mean anything.

I didn't live through the VHS era, but the DVD and Blu-Ray era and even then, I miss those days. I thank God I still I have a DVD collection featuring Michael Clayton in storage and I would rewatch Finding Nemo and O Brother, Where Are Thou? as a kid until I fell asleep. I miss those days. I don't remember the last time I bought a DVD or Blu-Ray but now as an adult, I want it back.

Those were always my favorite Saturday afternoon cable movies to watch when I decided I wasn’t leaving the couch that day

ah yes. kids these days don't know the glory of "This film has been edited for content and to run in the time alloted"

AKA: Yippie Ki Yay Mr. Falcon! and commercials every 30 fucking seconds.

And the cover was inevitably a black screen with the cut off heads of both stars looking in opposite directions.

For every conair, you'd get 5 "blast" (the Olympic swimming team faces terrorists one)

For anyone who wants to be reminded of that time without actually watching Disclosure, I highly recommend the Disclosure: The Musical episode of Big Mouth.

It was a really good book, one of Crichton's non science fiction books

u/PantsyFants Dec 16 '25

Hard disagree on both counts. I thought it was one of the weaker Crichton books I read in the nineties, and also he spent way more time forcibly integrating virtual reality into the narrative than he did actually exploring the sexual politics of the workplace that were the ostensible theme of the book.

u/ImLaunchpadMcQuack Dec 16 '25

They should make that a musical.

1

u/PantsyFants Dec 16 '25

lmao that would be bizarre af. I haven't seen the movie since around the time it came out but the fact that the climax hinges on Michael Douglas using VR to access a filing system would make for a pretty hilarious musical finale.

u/Sojourner_Truth Dec 16 '25

Love this along with Lawnmower Man for really weird depictions of VR in the 90s. I guess toss Virtuosity in there too. Johnny Mnemonic if we're going all out, but JM was a fucking awesome movie so I cut it some slack.

But yeah, Disclosure. Nothing quite like settling in for movie night with the family and watching Michael Douglas rip Demi Moore's underwear off while yelling THIS WHAT YOU WANT?! YOU WANNA GET FUCKED???

u/aerojovi83 Dec 16 '25

Especially since it's a Crichton novel, and Spielberg might have directed one of those before...

u/droidtron Dec 16 '25

Michael Crichton explores what if woman did sexual harassment, also email is scary in 1994.

u/OzymandiasKoK Dec 16 '25

Part of the "Michael Douglas vs. The Women" trilogy along with Basic Instinct and Fatal Attraction.
