RIP, Lou.

So, while I was keeping it Prince George’s real at Shoppers, Known Associate e-mails a post from Twitter telling me Lou was gone. James Gammon (Lou Brown from ‘Major League’) Passes Away at 70 My reply, via e-mail, was “Sigh. Officially depressed.” And, seriously, I am. This movie is in the top five (or six, [...]

And, now, you’re on a watchlist

(via Google Talk) Me: I think I’m going to put up a blog post in a minute asking which is creepier … Me: Conway Twitty’s “Never Been this Far Before” or Benny Mardones’ “Into the Night” Me: ’cause it’s really a tossup MG: Hmm … yeah MG: My instinct is to go with Conway Twitty, [...]

RIP, Les Anderson

God’s onslaught against the 1980s continued today (man, I really hoped we left all of that behind in ’09) with the death of Corey Haim. I totally predicted the wrong Corey to go first. If I’d have been playing Vegas odds on this, I so would have called Corey Feldman going first. It just seemed [...]

The underrated comedy lunch cafe

I hope this is on OnDemand, because I don’t have the DVD anymore and I’m dying to watch.

RIP, Patrick Swayze

DIRTY DANCING- Final DanceUploaded by Stella78. – Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more. I think I’ll dedicate this post to my sister, who likely is tearing her house apart right now looking for the 10th anniversary copy of “Dirty Dancing” I got her for Christmas in 1997. And pre-judge me if you must, but [...]

The art of procrastination

(vegalleries.com) I’ve decided that in honor of the Labor Day holiday (and because I can’t make it to tomorrow’s Friends of America Rally), I would make today Manual Labor Day around the apartment. About once every other month, I like to give this place the hospital scrubdown. I bleach almost everything, I mop, I get [...]

Don’t act like you aren’t jealous

Yessssssssssss!!

Movies that (kinda) suck (but I’ll watch every time it’s on TV)

Last night, as I flipped through Comcast’s on-screen guide, I noticed “She-Devil” was one of the movies available for free. I immediately went to switch over and realized my OnDemand’s been broken for a good month and I don’t have the patience to make another trip to Lanham. No such luck. I’d spend the rest [...]

Someone help me out here …

Alright, I’m putting this out here for the general population, because I’m at a loss. I’ve just spent the last 96 minutes watching this movie, and I really thought it sucked. I didn’t really laugh once. At several points, I actually said, out loud, “This is a really, really stupid movie.” This was an epic [...]

Things I Wouldn’t Recommend No. 1073

Really, I could have an ongoing series about things I wouldn’t recommend. Going on any carnival ride after eating any Chef Boyardee product is high on the list . Trying to squeeze between a closing Metro door. Engaging homeless people in conversation. Watching anything on Lifetime Movie Network with Joanna Kerns. I could go on, [...]
