If you live in the LA area, you know there are plenty of opportunities to go to live tapings of sitcoms, late-night TV, and other video recording shenanigans.
One of the better diversions, especially for latecomers, is the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” taping where you could park atop the TV Guide parking structure and witness bands rock out across the way. We found out last night — while setting up to see Smashing Pumpkins perform — that the Jonas Brothers ruined that experience. Or, at least, their fans did: Continue reading »
This week we take you back to 1984, where Hulk Hogan defeated Iron Sheik to become WWF Champ, Michael Jackson is burned during filming for a Pepsi commercial and McDonald’s made its 50 billionth hamburger. Oh yeah, it also was the year the Summer Olympics took place in good ole Los Angeles, California. What a better way to commemorate this years Summer Olympics than to show you how it was done.
Summer Games is a sports video game developed by Epyx and released by U.S. Gold based on sports featured in the Summer Olympic Games. Released in 1984 for the Commodore 64, it was also eventually ported to the Apple II, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Atari XL/XE and Sega Master System platforms. Amiga, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and Atari ST versions were also created for inclusion in compilations. In 2004 it would be “re-released” on the C64 Direct-to-TV.
The game was presented as a virtual multi-sport carnival called the “Epyx Games” (there was no official IOC floppy disk. licensing in place) with up to 8 players each choosing a country to represent, and then taking turns competing in various events to try for a medal. On most versions, world records could be saved to the floppy disks.
Yup, watched the train wreck again. Viewers are witnessing the demolition of a man crush. Here is a recap of this show and every other episode that is sure to come. Corey Haim is a child actor who cannot comprehend the child. He is not an actor. How can you be an actor when you’ve done nothing but a reality show in what, 15+ years? The show is just him trying to revisit his childhood and continually blaming Feldman for his lack of success. His obsession with Feldman is just bizarre. The full page ad Haim took out in Variety was totally a publicity stunt, aimed at begging people to give him work. How could he possibly believe that it was an apology? Why mention work? In case you missed it, the ad said: “This is not a stunt. I’m back. I’m ready to work. I’m ready to make amends”.
Dumb-butt! For one, that’s the most self-centered supposed apology I have ever seen. Secondly, why the hell does his has-been behind think that the industry has been waiting with baited-breath for his reappearance. My life has continued on nicely with the disappearance of the Lost Boy. I’ve never had a conversation with anyone in which we discussed how much we missed Corey Haim. It’s just sad, sad, sad.
I know I made some people mad while talking about Michael Jackson in my last post. Anybody who watched the Martin Bashir special in which he proclaimed, “There is nothing more loving than sharing a bed with a young child”, should realize what kind of guy MJ really is. My almost five year old still climbs in my bed on a regular basis but I am not dumb enough to say anything like that. There are a million things that are more loving than sleeping in a bed with a child THAT IS NOT YOURS! Michael’s words condemned him. A jury doesn’t have to. What magical world do you people live in where guilty people go to jail? Grow up. Michael Jackson doesn’t do inappropriate things with children any more than R. Kelly pees on people. We’ll just leave it at that.
My husband and I spent the weekend watching the A&E show ‘The Two Coreys’ this weekend. I spent Monday chatting around the water cooler with co-workers about this horrible, horrible train wreck of a show. There is nothing much better than watching others’ misery. The harrowing, nail-biting scene was a showdown at a deli between the two to clear the air. They both started talking about being molested! Really? Why you mad at your friend, Haim? He’s got nothing to do with it. Feldman copped to being molested as a child also. My first thought, IT WAS MICHAEL! Feldman imitated the MJ in the most bizarre way for years. It was uncomfortable to see him with a fake Jerri Curl, fedora, white socks, black shoes, and a single glove. White people ain’t supposed to do that. I would say Feldman was doing black-face but that wouldn’t be quite accurate either. Michael Jackson was doing white face. Anyway, I digress.
