RIP Johnny Fontaine

The crooner with his olive oil skin and guinea charm died today: http://www.reflector.com/features/godfather-singer-al-martino-dies-in-pa-at-82-896912.html

Two of the better scenes from the Godfather:

Bannigan

I’m sure you’re all familiar with Adam West from his kitschy turn as Batman on the 60′s TV show, as well as being the voice of his animated self, Mayor Adam West, on The Family Guy:

But have you ever seen him as Ty Lookwell? Someone sent this to me a while back I think, but my [...]

Nerds

A few days ago, I was flipping through the channels and stumbled across the 1984 classic Revenge of the Nerds on one of the HBOs.  I only saw about the last 20-30 minutes of the film, so I missed a ton of good stuff, but in watching it, I did notice a few things for [...]

Marky Mark

I saw this on the Huffington Post site. Apparently Mark Wahlberg isn’t too pleased with this SNL skit. I generally like Wahlberg in certain roles (well, let’s face it, he plays a similar role in most movies), but this cracked me up.

Random Clip of the Day

Our friend used to like this movie as a kid. Who could blame him? For those of you not young enough to remember 1985 (or who may have forgotten), there was nothing hotter than mixing gymnastics (in particular, pommel horse techniques), with martial arts.  Where have you gone Kurt Thomas?

First Pitch

So Mariah lacks athletic ability. Actually, it’s hard to tell if she’s that bad, since I’m not sure she can even breath in those shorts, and the heels couldn’t have helped.

CHiPs Clip of the Day

As you know, I’m a sucker for the cheesy 70′s intro music, but this clip is what CHiPs was all about.  It’s a Gene Simmons and KISS knockoff, since that’s what the kids were all into those days  . . .  Of course, I’m not sure a guy who is so bad ass as to [...]

The Conman Likes this Clip

The other day at work my boss started jokingly referring to himself in the 3rd person, which reminded the Conman of “Jimmy”.  Conman was surprised when the boss wasn’t familiar with Jimmy, so the Conman sent the boss this link. The Conman always laughs when he sees Jimmy.

My Kraut Mick Friend

I’ve been pretty busy this past week at work, so I haven’t had much time to post anything new. And when I’ve had some time, like now, I really haven’t had anything interesting to say, unfortunately. So, it’s filler time.  I’ve always loved this character in the Godfather.  First, the music as they show Tom Hagen landing [...]

Friday Links

We haven’t had a batch of links in a while, so here goes.

Tying in to the recent breakdancing theme, check out this clip from Silver Spoons. My friend Tony from college likes to break out “the move” when he’s on the dance floor. It’s a nifty little thing he does where he bends and puts one [...]
