Friday Geek Out: Fame

Jeff -

Last week I wrote about the 80s dance movies. There is one more, but it deserves special treatment because of the mini-empire it spawned. Fame is the forerunner to the High School Musical craze of today.
Fame started out as a film in 1980. It followed the high school careers of a group of students at [...]

Taking a Beating, Playing Poorly and Two Wins

Jeff -

It was a rough night last night.
With two minutes left in the Tigers game, which was first up, I got cross-checked in the back… a fist in my kidney area and the stick laid into my back. It was a major surprise because I don’t expect that at all, but in particular in D8 that [...]

10,000 B.C.

Jeff -

The only thing that saves 10,000 B.C. from being a complete waste of time is hunky Steven Strait as a man out to rescue his woman (and a few hundred other people) from the baddies. Other than that, this movie is full of unfulfilled promise.
From Roland Emmerich, director of Independence Day and The Day After [...]

Hockey + Musical = Good Time!

For the past six weeks I’ve been working with one of the co-writers of Hockey The Musical! to be a part of an event the musical is having out on Long Island. Hockey The Musical is brand new and secured a spot at this July’s Toronto Fringe Festival and they are having a fund raiser [...]

Get the weekend started

Will -

How utterly remiss of me! I only just now discovered that Shirley Bassey has a new album out! Below is the video for her new single in which she puts her very distinctive vocal stamp on a popular pop tune. I guarantee you, you’ll never think of Pink the same way again.

Friday Geek Out: 80s Dance-o-Rama

Jeff -

The 80s were great for a lot of things, especially dancing at the movies. In the span of just five years we had three iconic movies: Flashdance (1983), Footloose (1984) and Dirty Dancing (1987). I, of course, loved them all.
Flashdance was the story of a welder/stripper who really wanted to be a dancer. She managed [...]

Breakfast with Scot by Michael Downing

Jeff -

It has been great being on a reading kick lately, getting through two good books fairly quickly.
Breakfast with Scot was a quirky read. The story centers on a gay couple, Ed and Sam, who end up as guardians to Scot after his mother unexpectedly dies. Once they have Scot, they quickly realize the have a [...]

Animated Gladiators

Jeff -

Will came across this at Man’s Adventure, a blog belonging to an artist. This is a great drawing of the new American Gladiators—from left to right that’s Militia, Wolf, Mayhem, Titan, Toa and Justice. It’s a cool sketch and since we love all things Gladiators it had to end up here.

Two Losses, Intense Ronnie’s

Jeff -

It was a losing night for my teams last night.
The Tigers played first, losing 1-5 to the mighty Hotshots. It was a fun game though, another one where the Tigers never gave up. We had Gregg in net last night, so that was different and he made some awesome saves to keep us [...]
