I watched the movie Tuesday afternoon in Boston. The audience was diverse and the theater was packed despite it being a Tuesday afternoon. Not surprising given who it’s about. …Before I begin, I do want to point out Straight Outta Compton is the name of both the movie and the 1988 album by N.W.A. The […]
Who could have imagined the late 1990s would have been the end of the Family Sitcom. We are in an age where “Reality” TV, hour-long dramas and docu-dramas dominate all the networks. While I would normally place all the blame on the networks for taking the easy road–it actually costs much less to shoot “Reality” […]
…And the funny thing is I realized it when I bought the soundtrack from a non-Disney classc, An American Tail. For those born after 1995, you probably have no memory of what I like to call the final days of children’s movie blockbusters. In plain English: Hugely popular movies geared towards younger audiences that became […]
…I’m pretty sure these posters look familiar to all gamers. ALL of them represent one disappointment after the other for various reasons DESPITE the star talent cast in ALL of them. Bethesda put it best in an interview Gamespot shared yesterday: The creative liberties taken to make the movie marketable and fit within a […]
In this age of Netflix and other on-demand streaming services, most who grew up during the late 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s have all but forgotten that just 7 years ago, the weekly cartoon block disappeared from Broadcast TV forever. The reason: The Children’s Television Act (1996). It’s not the law itself that’s actually […]
First, a group photo: …And how they look now: …Yes, those are the original actors 20 years later =O In case you’re wondering, Tiffani Thiessen (Kelly) actually is pregnant. They simply wrote her pregnancy into the sketch. Noticably absent from the sketch–as well as recent reunions–are Dustin Diamond (Screech) and Lark Voorhies (Lisa). Lark moved […]
EDIT 7/21/2019: This post was updated to reflect the passage of time as well as for it being added to another blog. The more I seriously think about, the happier I am with my decision to only watch network TV for sports, the news, WWE and Cartoon Network’s Anime block Saturdays between 9:30PM and 6:00AM […]
In 2012, Bob Saget candidly said he was open to bringing the gang back together. Later that year the cash had a reunion: As you can see, the adults have all aged well compared to the picture at the top. To those who were born after 1995, Full House was kept alive in […]
Originally posted on 140 characters is usually enough:
Picture the scene. A beloved cartoon character, one pretty-much recognised the world over, re-enacts one of their most recognised routines for the benefit of a character from a newer show, a show which is entirely founded on ripping off the original. The other character responds by making a joke…
Update 7/23/2019: If you still have a CD Key for The Sims 2 or ANY of the Expansions or Stuff Packs, SAVE THEM. I confirmed a few years ago that if you enter a CD Key for The Sims 2 (or an expansion or a Stuff Pack) into your Origin Account, you will automatically be […]
