OK, there’s no Kipa anywhere in the video, but Lil Chukee is definitely rocking my favorite tee from this past Fall, Black Magic. And, Wayne definitely calls him the cutest. It looks like they were all having fun, and Birdman stops by with his black diamonds to makes a cameo.
During the early hours this morning, Corey Haim died of a drug overdose. He was 38 years old.
He hasn’t done many movies of late, although his IMDB page has nine movies in production. The last one I saw him in was Crank 2. After Lost Boys and Prayer of the Rollerboys, Haim could’ve retired. Total bummer, indeed.
Has anyone tried watching The WWE recently? Is it me or has it slowly mutated into recruitment propaganda for the Marines? It’s amazing that this thing is still going on! Why are they even trying? There’s nothing in the world that could touch the golden era of the WWF (circa 1985-1990) — not movies, not cartoons, music, comic books, NADA. We fell into a bit of a renaissance with The Rock, Goldberg, Triple H, Stone Cold, et al. But man, the spectacle of the golden age was our generation’s Vaudeville. This was EPIC drama with Meth-addled Barbers, Loud mouthed Scotsmen, Weasels, Pimps, Hitmen, Giants, Hacksaws, Hammers, Commies and Snakes! Now that the best is behind us from the House McMahon, it’s evident that one Swatch sunglassed, sequened robe rockin’, feathered haired man stands as the Greatest Wrestler of All Time.
MACHO MAN Randy Savage.
Come join me in this retrospective in OH YEAH!
Early Years – You can see the impetus of a schtick which will eventually explode into the luminous nebula of Macho Madness!
In my pre-teens, I was partial to Hogan and later Ultimate Warrior — the former being a horrible wrestler with inspiring charisma, the latter being just what a young hessian needed. I loathed Macho Man back in the day!!! That sleazy, scary, abusive, arrogant, rude and crude cretin!!! It would be years until I realized that these very same qualities are what add to his legend of the WWF’s G.O.A.T. Savage owned it all! The charisma, the acrobatics, the gimmick, catch phrase, overall steez, and man oh man, could that dude improv in a promo!
I like to fantasize about Macho snorting a huge rail of coke in the Gold’s Gym locker room with Hogan when he came up with his infamous “OH YEAH!” catchphrase. His Intercontinental Champion era was his finest if you ask me. He jumped the shark as the Macho King with Scary Sheri!
A Goldmine of Macho
It’s no revelation to speak of his rivalry with Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat yielding the most amazing WWF match in history. Now, if you were like me you were down with Team Steamboat and those Chinese Stars and Tiger Claws stuck in your backyard tree were indicative of that. But looking back, Steamboat is such a herb!
The plot thickens! Here’s a video of Beetlejuice (as we’ve dubbed him) AKA Michael on Wild 94.9 giving his side of the events from last week’s epic bus beatdown with Tom “Tom Slick” Burso AKA Epic Beard Man AKA I AM A MOTHERFUCKER! In case you missed it last week, here’s Epic Beard Man’s vietnam flashback take on what happened.
I don’t know, this dude sort of looks like the guy from the video, but it sure doesn’t sound like him. I don’t remember Beetlejuice being as well spoken as this guy. Regardless my main question remains, what the fuck was up with the I AM A MOTHERFUCKER T-shirt, who made it and where can we get one!?
I know a good chunk of you follow Pee-wee Herman on Twitter, but I doubt many of you realize Elvira has a Twitter. I of course do, because I love Elvira. A few days ago she tweeted the above pic of her and Paul Reubens back stage from one of his Pee Wee performances. I thought this was a pretty adorable picture and was happy that two of my childhood faves are still in touch…
“Still in Touch?” Oh you never realized that the Mistress of the Dark was in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure? Skip forward to 2:08 mark of the famous Tequila scene and you’ll find Cassandra Peterson in a rare cameo sans her usual Elvira get-up. I think she still looks great at almost 60.
It just makes for a funny blog title is all… But is that OK in the Black Metal community? To be out? Just wondering…
I really like Gaahl’s 19 year old boyfriend (pictured to the right). He not only looks really happy to be there, totally not Black Metal but also a little like Jodi Foster. I also really like the story of how they met… “Suddenly I saw a glowing figure in the door. That was Robin. I thought to myself that he must be mine.” White wine can be a bitch.
Last week the annual Bergen Gay Galla was held, and various awards were presented to persons and institutions that have contributed to the gay community in Bergen, Norway. The most prestigious award was given to Kristian Espedal (a.k.a. Gaahl). The former GORGOROTH vocalist was named “Homosexual Of The Year” and accepted the award in person.
“I don’t need an award to be myself. But if this can help other people in the same scene as me, it’s a positive thing,” Gaahl told local newspaper Bergensavisen.
Gaahl, 34, is involved in a relationship with 19-year-old Robin Jakobsen (pictured below with Gaahl). When asked how he met his current partner, Gaahl said, “It was after closing time. I was at Fincken (gay bar in Bergen). Robin came to the club to look for his former boyfriend. I was buzzed on white wine, and suddenly I saw a glowing figure in the door. That was Robin. I thought to myself that he must be mine.”
Was it love at first sight? “No…I had to work a little for it.” Were people surprised when you came out as a homosexual? “I think it’s strange that it wasn’t known before, but I never had a need to go public with it. Finally a German journalist had the guts to ask the question, and I answered him. It wasn’t any more painful than that.”
I know John Prolly really fucking hates Gorgoroth without Gaahl and I could actually see John settling down with a dude like Gaahl. Farming, raising a few chickens and goats, setting some churches on fire, cycling through the countryside. John, would you like to spend the rest of your life with Gaahl?
So congrats to Gaahl! I’m sure being gay within the Black Metal scene is no fucking picnic; hell I’m sure it isn’t even as pleasant as a blood sacrifice in the woods.

When the history of film is written by Leonard Maltin’s clones, few actors of the 20th century will rival Nicolas Cage. Fuck it, I said it. But he’s also a pretty weird dude. That’s often the cost of being a genius. He was born into Hollywood royalty (his birth name is Nicolas Kim Coppola), he was a comic nerd coming up, and he once outbid Leonardo DiCaprio on a Tyrannosaurus Rex skull (top that, Twerps!). He allegedly kidnapped Kathleen Turner’s dog, then he sued her over it, which is hilarious.
Cage has stated that he used to be really selective about which roles he takes on, but now he’s trying to do more family-friendly movies that his kids can go to. I’m sure it has nothing to do with his $6.2 million dollar debt. For every memorable performance he delivers, there are six or seven shitty ones. He’s worked with some true legends: Scorsese, the Coen Brothers, John Woo, David Lynch, and most recently, Werner Herzog. In fact, Cage’s performance really does depend on the director he’s working with. If he ever collabs with Shane Black, that’s it. My life can end. And judging from the trailers, his role in the upcoming Kick Ass looks like another one for the books.
But until that day, here’s a run-down of my favorite Cage performances.
10. Red Rock West (1993)
In this neo-noir tale of mistaken identity from John Dahl (Rounders), Cage plays Mike Williams, a down-on-his-luck vet who finds himself in the right place at the wrong time. Like most noir “heroes,” Mike finds all the odds stacked against him and takes a beating along the way. It’s pretty Noir Textbook: get money, fuck a girl, don’t trust the girl, stay alive as best you can. As an old vet trying to do what’s right in a corrupt world, Cage nails it. Also, Dennis Hopper plays a masochistic Texan hitman, so this movie is worth watching on so many levels.

9. Birdy (1984)
Yeah, that’s Cage and Matthew Modine in pigeon suits. Cage plays best friend to Modine in this soulful post-Vietnam film from Londoner Alan Parker (Midnight Express, The Wall). Modine plays Birdy, a avian-enthusiast who comes back from Nam basically thinking he’s a bird. Cage visits his friend in the asylum and does his best to snap him out of it. I couldn’t find the link, but allegedly Cage had his front teeth knocked out of whack by his dentist in order to talk differently for the role. Method as fuck.

8. Face Off (1997)
“Suck my tongue.” I’ll never forget that Cage line from Woo’s “gun fu” epic Face Off. Cage plays terrorist Castor Troy to Travolta’s FBI agent and the result is two hours of pure fucking entertainment. Cage rarely gets to play a pure villain; he usually wears a gray hat. So Face Off stands out amongst the Cage Canon for that reason alone.

7. Bringing Out the Dead (1999)
Scorsese directs – Cage never sleeps. I remember watching this one for the first time and never being able to take my eyes off Cage as he ventured further and further into insanity. I’m not sure if he went method for this one, but it seemed like he didn’t sleep for solid week.
—–
6. Wild at Heart (1990)
As Sailor Ripley and his girl Pace, Cage and Laura Dern portray the only kind of couple I’ve known in my life know = fucked. David Lynch infused his adaptation with Elvis and Wizard of Oz bits, and Cage gets to play the romantic dreamer he was born to. This goes down in my top three Lynch films as well.

This is a bit old, but still funny nonetheless!
Former Bulls All-Star Scottie Pippen just issued a press release regarding an upcoming straight to video release titled Mascots vs. Midgets, which due to to the absurdity surrounding it, is now beginning to circulate the internet.
Apparently Pippen agreed to appear in a cameo role for the movie formerly known as A Tribute to Big Red. What he didn’t know is that the director had ulterior motives and set Pippen up for what appears to be a full-on little people beatdown. The scene in the above clip wasn’t scripted and after it was shot, the director explained to Pippen that he’d been “punk’d.”
If this wasn’t strange enough, Gary Coleman is pissed about the movie containing “inadvertent” nude scenes of him. Poor Gary. The only thing missing from this are a few juggalos with some facepaint and Faygo.
Seriously, as if you guys needed any more reason to see Old Dogs, Tony Manero goes and drops this down your throut. Shit in your mouth bro, Old Dogs shit in your mouth…
