What's That Name Now?

So now I wanna watch a bunch of these. 

Others...not so much. 

New 80s Brat Pack Video

This makes me very happy. 

Greatest Film EVAH

I know I know I know. 

I have been sorely neglecting y'all of late. Or neglecting you sorely. Whatevs.

I've got about a half dozen posts about 10%, so maybe if I smush 'em together? Prolly not the best idear. 

Instead, I offer you this, the—seriously—greatest film evah. Not even sure it's out. Doesn't matter. 

Greatest.

Film.

EVAH.

(Sure, you prolly think 'cuz you can see the title right up thar in the preview that you have a rough idea what it's about. Well, you don't.)

((Okay, okay, okay. You do.))

(((Still doesn't matter. You cannot possibly prepare yourself for The Greatness.)))

What a Fetting

I am a geek. This comes as news to no one. Yet I’ve never come close to understanding why the hell Boba Fett is as popular as he is. I don’t think I even noticed him the first half-dozen times I saw the original Star Wars trilogy.

I am also a child of the 80s. So much as I hated this film, every second of this dance is imprinted on my DNA.

Put ‘em both together and you have yet one more reason to say God bless Al Gore and his mighty mighty invention, teh internetz. 

Journey at the Center of the Earth

I always suspected. People thought I was crazy, but I never stopped believin'.

Major H/T to the great and terrible Kristen. 

Office Space: The Drama

I'd watch this.

I Love YouTube

This video proves several things:
I loves me my internets.
Americans are still inventive.
Unfortunately, not necessarily in ways which benefit all of mankind.
Still, this is wicked cool.
Someone will make a comment about “too much time on their hands.”

This video, courtesy the great Krissy, on the other hand, proves several different things:
Walking dogs are funny.
But too many walking dogs are creepy.
Dogs laughing rival the clown under the bed in Poltergeist for Scariest Thing Ever Filmed.
Maybe people always had too much time on their hands.

The Real Top Gun

Making explicit what was always implicit.

This would have been twice the film (not to damn with faint praise) if they’d just had the stones to go in this direction in the first place—it’s clearly the way the movie itself wanted to go.

Biff Sings!

Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Top Management and I were happy to see ol’ Biff on a recent episode of House, but I had no idea about his stand-up career. The wonderful imdb indicates that he’s been pretty busy since his big break on Back to the Future. I can say that I do recall he was great as the mobster who killed Robin’s parents back on the Batman animated show.

Should I ever meet him, I shall refrain from him asking him any of those questions. But I shall damn sure about ask him what it was like when they were filming the movie with Eric Stoltz instead of Michael J. Fox.

H/T: List of the Day

And for Left o' the Dialian Tom E:

He's well over a thousand from the left coast, so the bit about her being a California girl doesn't quite work. But I'm guessing all the rest does.

Frozen Grand Central Station

From, as usual, the great BoingBoing comes some of the most amazing art I’ve seen yet this century.

Inneresting times we live. Really, really amazing.
