Weekend Event: Cheese


Close enough to cheese? XD

Weeknd Event - Madge = Tilly but Palmolive never changes

This is the German version of Madge, named Tilly.  Even in Germany, "you're soaking in it".


Cult Movies: 2 favorites

I love both these movies...


Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979)

PJ Soles! Clint Howard! Paul Bartel! Mary Woronov! and the Ramones!

Truth be told it's pretty crummy when the Ramones are offscreen. But when they are onscreen, it's fantastic, even if they were lipsynching. (Or when DeeDee was trying to act.)

Fact: according to the commentary track, the Ramones had never heard of lipsynching before this. "You mean the Beatles weren't really singing in A Hard Day's Night?"

I totally recommend the DVD, both for the ability to skip to all the Ramones parts and also for the commentary which is hilarious and informative for fans of the Ramones and Roger Corman movies.

Huge poster:



click to embiggen. I wanted to buy this poster @ a poster shop in NY and the guy wouldn't sell it to me because it was cheesy. :P


And... because this movie is like Rock 'n' Roll High School only serious. And both are really dated, but that's OK! Nice soundtracks too...


Pump up the Volume (1990)

Christian Slater! I love this movie so much.

Contest Entry: Fast Food: Roll 'n Roaster



Roll 'n Roaster was described as "real food served at fast-food speed." I don't know if, at this writing, they have any remaining restaurants; several years ago, they even opened one up on lower Third Avenue in downtown Manhattan, but it closed. As far as I know, their first restaurant was in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.

Good news; they still exist in their original location.

From the YouTube site: Trivia Bit The end where the patron is dancing with the girls was improvised by George and the director went with it. The actual restaurant did not have wait service at all. It was self serve..."

Thirty years ago or more, I was living with my parents and watching a lot of late-night TV; this jingle became embedded in my brain. (According to YouTube™, this commercial is from 1990.)

ABADOX: THE DEADLY INNER WAR

Underrated, awesome, disgusting* and very hard NES game. The commercial both disturbed and entranced me as a kid:



Ignore the preview... hope this works...
