That is not Will Ferrell. This really is Robert Goulet — as you've never seen him before! Here he plays — get this — an actor working in a police department. Will the incongruities never cease? I mean, the concept is utterly hilarious. Think about it. An actor... in a police station. That just never happens!
This pilot is rendered all the more funny due to Will Ferrell's portrayal of course. You almost expect Robert Goulet to start crooning some gangsta rap rhymes. Even so, it's Robert Goulet. He's got less body fat than a king cobra.
Hot damn. If you don't know the significance of Bad Brains, take a bloody look. This was the band to define what was to come. This was the original hardcore punk band. But they didn't just do punk rock. They were also a fusion jazz band, a funk band, and a dub reggae band (singer H.R. is a Rastafarian).
And what a performance. They aren't just loud and frenetic. There's a depth of delivery going on. You know he's saying something important and you better take heed.
Now here is my dream, and I know it will be a forever unfulfilled one. I'd like to see Public Enemy and Bad Brains together on stage. They are so perfect together. Both share the same political leanings, both are energetic, and both have a message they want to broadcast to the world. Finally, both are a purer version of the genres of music they represent.
So marvel at this performance, even if you don't like punk rock. What you are seeing is one of the seminal moments that would define the next 20 years of music. You like Black Flag, Nirvana, and Sublime? What about the Beastie Boys? You are seeing it all in a very raw form.
They were called Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (a.k.a., GLOW). Most of them were actresses and porn stars who were looking to use this promotion as a stepping stone towards greater things. One performer, Palestina (who depicted a religious Palestinian) later became a successful singer in England.
Of course, this is terrible. The WWE this is most definitely not. The over-the-top comedy sketch is not funny. And I cannot imagine anything more absurd that actually made its way on the air.
However, I will say this: the rap song is awesome.
That's right folks, this is the full version of "Glen or Glenda", one of the worst films of all time. It's not as though the topic itself is not worth filming about. Rather, there's just so much wrong about this.
Bela Lugosi's mad scientist character is utterly out of place in this quasi-documentary. The dialogue is clipped and manic. And what's the point of the bison juxtaposed on the screen for absolutely no reason?
Before all of you start your accolades of sympathy, remember that Ed Wood once gave the advice to "just keep on writing. Even if your story gets worse, you'll get better." In other words, I'm pretty sure Ed Wood knew his film was awful. Sometimes it's the awful things that are worth paying attention to, though.
You may want to click on the image to get a better understanding of who contributed to this necklace. But let me say, this is gross. He's got a toenail from his daughter's first marathon. A good portion of these toenails are discoloured and shrivelled. I just can't imagine anyone wearing this on a daily basis. He did say this is "ceremonial", though.
Now, if this guy wants to earn extra points with me, he's got to sell this on eBay. He's sure to find a buyer. Hell, I'm sure someone would pay a pretty penny for this thing.
Let it never be said that learning how to use Western cutlery is easy to learn. Sure, you may have no problem using a knife and fork, but what about for Japanese people of the Early Meiji period? From their perspective, not only was it hard to learn but it was easy get injured by it.
along with the influx of western culture in the early meiji period came western styles of eating. however, number of injuries caused by the mishandling of western cutlery, with its sharp blades and pointed tines. the collections of cutleries were developed to enable their users to experience the new style of eating with traditional and more familiar material.
As you can see, it's not only recently that Japanese folk have been taking Western inventions and putting their own spin on it. While you may look at Sony, and Toyota, and Yamaha and think to yourself "neato!" just remember that there is a continuous historical precedent. Japan will continue to innovate for that is the nature of their culture. And we all are better for it.
Did I ever tell you how much I love Nintendo? I absolutely do. Only after working for one of their competitors and realizing how much I don't like "hardcore" gaming did I realize exactly what Nintendo offers — the ability to play for fifteen minutes or for hours. In my possession, I have both a DS and a Wii and, for the moment, the DS is where it's at. My current favourite is Hotel Dusk which is pretty much a visual novel with a noir bent.
Anyway, I think this particular idea is neat but it is implemented very poorly. Nintendo Amusement Park purports to offer you a real life video game equivalency. That is to say, the ability to simulate gaming through real life. It's just a Mario-themed obstacle course.
The other thing I should mention is that I don't believe video game amusement parks really work in this day and age. Where is Chuck E. Cheese? Where's SEGA's old amusement parks? For that matter, whatever happened to arcades?
I gave them points for creating this amusing video, though.
