From Mr. T To ‘Transformers,’ The ’80s Are Back
October 25, 2006
Right now, no decade is hotter than the 1980s. So, when you have a moment in between watching Mr. T’s new reality show, or re-learning the dance steps to “Thriller,” ask, Where are the movies? Well, plenty of gnarly flicks are moonwalking their way through the production process, on their most excellent way to a tubular theater near you.

TRANSFORMERS Movie Optimus & Starscream Protoform Images/Toy Packaging Leak
October 25, 2006
“Ewwww. They look awful. As exciting it is to see that they’ve made Transformers into a live action movie, looking at the actual robots pisses me off. Fuck you Michael Bay, you dumb son of a bitch!” — digg hater
I am not really liking the look of these toys. Where is the old characterization of the Transformers?! These guys look more like Gundamn toys than transformers. I am sure the movie will do much better.

Video of unspeakable pain: Celine Dion does Madonna
October 25, 2006
Celine does not have the sex appeal that Madonna (still) has. Oh, yeah, she has got the vocals that could destroy Madonna. Maybe Celine is the Madonna of Canada.
A most disturbing stage video in which Celine Dione impersonates mid-’80s Madonna, most badly.

Cold War, Hot Temper
October 25, 2006
Were you in the service in the 80s? This means two things 1) Your old. 2) You get a medal.
“recently learned I’m eligible for a Cold War service medal for my late 70s-early 80s stint in the Air Force. Not being the sort who delights in wearing my old uniform bedecked with medals every Fourth of July, I probably won’t take the time to find all the missing paperwork to prove I’m entitled to it.”

80s Turkey meat shiller goes hip hop
October 23, 2006
Bernard Matthews made 1980s ’so bad it’s good’ cult advertising in the UK. His catchphrase was (In a heavy Norfolk accent) ‘it’s bootiful’. It was a short step to creating a hip hop ‘booty’ video sampled from the ads. Bootiful indeed.
