I stumbled across this video the other night while scrolling YouTube, and I thought it was pretty funny.
A lot of 80s references in the video and some great cameos. (No, I did not mean to have two Hanson videos up in a row).
Anyway, check it out.

Let It Be
OK, I saw this the other day and I just had to post it. It is some Swedish talk show hosts or something of that nature and they got all of these celebrities (most of them from the 80's) to lipsink to Let It Be. It's extremely interesting and pretty well done.
How many of these celebrities did you know?

TV Meme: Day 21 - Favorite Relationship
My apologies for this running a day late - 4th of July yesterday sort of ruined my computer time (in a good way).
Anyway, back to the meme. Today is favorite relationship - Mrs. Kano has gotten on me about the amount of Scrubs and Community love I have been giving on this meme. And she is right.
However, I absolutely must stick with my all-time favorite show on this category. My favorite television relationship is Turk (Donald Faison) and J.D. (Zach Braff) on Scrubs.
Their relationship is so great and so strong that nothing can truly come between it. They have been friends since college and remained tight through medical school - and that continued as both received jobs at Sacred Heart.
Even when it appeared that they could be drifting apart, like when Turk got close to, and eventually married Carla (Judy Reyes). Sure, their time together may have suffered, but they always remained close.
The running joke was that they were an old, married couple. And, they even got in on the act most of the time. They even sang a song called "Guy Love" in the musical episode professing their platonic love for each other.
Anyway, I have looked over the rest of these meme categories and I believe that this is my last official day consisting of Scrubs, but when I saw this category the only relationship that jumped out at me was this one. It is so strong of a relationship that even Carla realizes that Turk just may love J.D. more than her. J.D. tells her that Turk loves them both the same.

TV Meme: Day 19 - Best TV Show Cast
Wow. I have been back and forth on this one for a little while now. In the end I think I decided to go with the one that I did because the show is still on and is still just getting started, but already there is so much chemistry between the characters.
At first, my gut instinct had me selecting Scrubs as the best television cast. I mean, for eight seasons they delivered the laughs and the relationships between each and every character just seemed so genuine. That is something so hard to do. But, the cast was actually very close friends off of the set, and it clearly showed on the show.
That being said, I have (and will) be using Scrubs in a great many posts for this meme. Which is pretty obvious seeing as how it is my favorite show. So, I decided to select the show that is, I guess, currently becoming my favorite show - Community.
I seriously hope this show doesn't have a sophomore slump because I am really speaking so highly of it, but only after one season.
As I have said in previous posts the cast shakes down like this. Joel McHale stars as Jeff Winger, a lawyer who gets found out for having a fake degree and must return to community college to get his old life back. Gillian Jacobs is Britta Perry, a love interest for Jeff who is also a large feminist and activist - she has also been called the downer of he group. Danny Pudi plays Abed Nadir, a film student who converses through his knowledge of movies, mostly from the 80's. Donald Glover is Troy Barnes, a former star quarterback who loses his scholarship when he gets hurt tossing a keg. Alison Brie stars as Annie Edison, a brilliant girl who blossomed late in life, or after she overdosed on drugs and had to leave high school. Chevy Chase plays Pierce Hawthorne, the inventor of Hawthorne wipes. Finally, Yvette Nicole Brown plays Shirley Bennett, a mother of two who is freshly divorced and heads to college for the first time.
Also on the show in a smaller role are Jim Rash as Dean Pelton and Ken Jeong as Senor Chang - with John Oliver as Professor Ian Duncan also lending a hand in a handful of episodes.
It's truly amazing just how quickly the cast gelled together. The best scenes, much like Friends at Central Perk, are when the cast is alone in the study room. Without even saying words, but gestures at the table and sly looks they can have you rolling on the floor. But, the dialogue is just as great as the gestures - and the characters have blossomed there as well. Each character has found their niche and they slide together perfectly.
The best character interactions come between Troy and Abed. They have truly developed amazing chemistry together - they remind me a lot of J.D. and Turk (except neither of them is truly the star of the show). I have embedded their Spanish rap below - check it out. If you do watch the show, make sure to stick around for the credits - they usually do something off the wall crazy like this.
I urge you if you have not checked out this show yet and you like comedies (especially a show like Scrubs) then check this one out. Don't just watch a single episode because it might not show you everything you need to see - watch a few and you won't regret it.

TV Meme: Day 18 - Favorite Title Sequence
I actually believe that the title sequence has become a lost art. Nowadays shows sometimes bypass the title all-together (Lost), while others will make a great one and then shorten for no real reason (Community).
A theme song and a great title sequence can really get you excited for a show, it becomes one with the show. How many people hear "I'll Be There For You" and think of The Rembrandts? Not many, right? But, how many people hear that same song and think of Friends? I am guessing about 99% of them.
So, I almost wish that all shows would make the effort and create not only a great title sequence, but a great theme song as well. Right now I have multiple theme songs on my phone as ringtones, mainly because of my love for the show, and its theme.
There are so many out there I could name - Scrubs, Community (in its entirety), Friends, etc.
But, one of the few that I sit through during my TiVo watching is The Big Bang Theory. The title sequence is basically just a bunch of random (I say random, but it probably isn't) science-type things, but the theme song is sung by Barenaked Ladies and it is now synonymous with that show.
For your pleasure, below I have attached The Big Bang Theory title sequence. And as a bonus, Community as well.

Stanley Cup Champions
Things are finally slowing down for me (I think) so I should be back up and running sometime this week.
As most of you know, I am a huge Pittsburgh fan, so I was pretty stoked when the Penguins captured the Stanley Cup on Friday.
If you may recall, I wrote about this last year when the fell to Detroit.
Anyway, here is the new gatorade commerical, Enjoy!

A Charlie Scrubs Christmas
Yesterday I sort of came down hard on A Charlie Brown Christmas because after not having watched it for a long time, I finally did - and it wasn't all that I remember it being.
Anyway - here is an alternate version from the great cast of Scrubs.

25 Days: Christmas Vacation
I have to admit, I am not the biggest fan of the original Vacation movie.
I do find it pretty funny, however, that the parents of the movie continue to stay the same, but the children are always replaced - and never look alike at all.
Last night, I popped in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation to add to my 25 Days of Christmas movie marathon.
The film, like all Vacation films, stars Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold.
Clark is looking forward to his "Good, old-fashioned, Griswold family Christmas". He takes his family out to the middle of nowhere to find 'the perfect' tree. He and his son Russ (Johnny Galecki) string the entire house with Christmas lights. And he invites his extended family members to their house for an extended Christmas (they showed up on like the 18th, that's crazy).
Anyway, I enjoy this film because most of the things that seem to go wrong - can pretty much happen to anyone during the holidays. Perhaps not all at the same time, but I can definitely see it happening.
Everyone has that black sheep-type family member, Clark's happens to be his cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid), who shows up with his family unexpectedly.
Then there's the senile old lady, and her grouchy 'who the hell cares' husband. The old lady brings her cat (wrapped of course), who then proceeds to fry itself while chewing on Christmas lights. And the old, grouchy man torches the Christmas tree (and almost himself) while lighting a stogie in the living room.
Most of Clark's misfortunes, however, happen to come from himself. He tries so hard to give his family a great Christmas, which is nearly impossible. It doesn't help that he spent $7,500 to have a pool put in with the help of his bonus check - that just happens to be missing.
The film is pretty darn hilarious, one of Chase's best projects.
BONUS: Although I am not technically apart of LAMB yet (most likely joining after the New Year), I thought I would toss out my favorite holiday scene, which happens to be in this film.
The scene is Cousin Eddie kidnapping Clark's boss and bringing him to the house for Clark to confront. When the cops show off and yell freeze, it's downright hilarious. Especially Clark's wife Ellen's (Beverly D'Angelo) pose.

Star Trek
I have to admit, I checked out the new trailer to the updated/revamped Star Trek franchise and it has me very excited. So much so, in fact, that since watching it that first time - I have watched it about five other times.
I have been a pretty big Star Trek fan since the original crew of Shatner, Nimoy and McCoy. Out of all of the films from the original crew, the only one I truly disdain is Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Boy, they really got off on the wrong foot with that piece of junk.
Luckily, though, the movie made money and it allowed for a truly great six-movie arc, culminating with Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Since that film, Star Trek was handed over to The Next Generation crew - and the films were pretty solid at the start.
But, we haven't had a new film since Star Trek: Nemesis in 2002.
Enter J.J. Abrams, Lost and Alias creator.
The film has been rewound and revamped. Abrams has started the Star Trek franchise from its beginning - the arrival of Kirk and his crew at starfleet.
Now, I have heard the grumblings already. Diehards are complaining that not everything in the story is what happened in Gene Roddenberry's original stories.
Of course not. Things have to be changed - and I say it's probably for the better.
All I can say is this: looking at that trailer I am extremely giddy for this upcoming film.
The fight scenes look extraordinary - I mean when did you see such space battles in a Star Trek film ---- it looks almost Star Wars-esque.
I am upset by the move to the summer, because it was orginally planned for Christmas. But, I will definitely be checking this film out when it finally does open.
Casting:
Kirk: Chris Pine
Spock: Zachary Quinto
Sulu: John Cho
Uhura: Zoe Saldana
McCoy: Karl Urban
Scotty: Simon Pegg
Chekov: Anton Yelchin
Nero (Romulan Villain): Eric Bana

Happy Halloween!
It's Halloween, and my house didn't get hit last night for cabbage night - YAHOO!
Let's hope those greedy kids don't hit it tonight because I am not around to hand out candy.
Anyway, in the spirit of this wonderful holiday where you can get free candy, here is the awesomely-bad music video by Ray Parker, Jr.
Enjoy!
Oh, and for you Ghost Hunters fans out there, a 7-hour live broadcast starts tonight at 7 p.m. on SciFi - check it out.

LT meet Troy
This is sort of an extension of the Nike commercial that started last year. A year ago it was the St. Louis Rams' Stephen Jackson running through various NFL teams and field conditions and then the San Diego Chargers' Shawne Merriman doing the same thing on defense. It was pretty original.
This one takes it a little further with two players, the Pittsburgh Steelers' Troy Polamalu and the Chargers' LaDainian Tomlinson. It goes from their birth through high school and college - until they finally meet - Head On.

Josh Groban
I, like many of you, do not watch the non-stop awards shows that seem to be one about once every other Sunday. So, I did not see this live - but thought it was hilarious.
I am pretty busy today, but actually have a few things to blog about if I have time - if not, I will have to write them up tomorrow. Enjoy this though.

No. 100
I have been hoping for a brain wave for the past two days. I was hoping to have something special to put here for the 100th blog.
But, I had no such brain wave. So, I did a quick search of the No. 100 and found this clip on YouTube using clips of movies counting backwards from 100-to-1.
Hopefully, now that this 100th blog is finished I can get back to writing what is on my mind - instead of trying to force something special.

Dark Knight Hits Theaters
As millions upon millions of people head to the movie theaters this weekend to gaze upon The Dark Knight, just remember that the action you are seeing is nothing compared to this:
I am hoping to check out The Dark Knight on Sunday, so if I have a chance (and a working computer) I could have my thoughts on it up on Sunday. If not, I will share my opinion on Monday. With all I am hearing though, it definitely should be a great movie.
Have a good weekend.
Have a good weekend.

Summertime
I haven't technically done a lot during the past few days, besides finally catching up on Weeds, watching some television and playing Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. So, I don't really have a lot to write about today.
I thought I would post this youtube video for two reasons - 1) The release of the movie Hancock today, which I will not be seeing until it's released on DVD - I will probably only get to see one more movie in the theater this summer, and that is definitely reserved for Dark Knight. 2) The weather for the past few days has actually been very nice - so it finally feels like summer time to me. I am looking forward to the BBQ's starting this weekend.
So, here you go. A little old school track to get you pumped for the summer months.
