I Miss John Candy
June 2, 2008
It is so sad that we have lost so many great comedians, especially John Candy. John put out some of the funniest films during his prime in the late 80’s. Some of my favorites are “Uncle Buck”, “Who’s Harry Crumb?”, “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles”, “Spaceballs” and “The Great Outdoors”. I recently found some snippets on Youtube that I saved in my favorites, and thought that I would share some of John’s comedic genius and great delivery with you. It’s very sad that he never was really happy with himself.
John - Thanks for the laughs. Miss ya so much man and I wish you were still here.
The Lost Boys - A Trip Back To My Childhood
May 28, 2008
It was during a sleepover party in 1987, at Jaime Segura’s house, that I was introduced to what would become one of my favorite movies: The Lost Boys. I was 10 years old and was a fan of Nintendo, skateboarding, Def Leppard, and scary movies. I was a typical kid of the 80’s and I was damn proud of it. I often find myself, on a day like today, wishing I could go back to those times: summers that lasted forever, the way popsicles tasted so good, the sounds of awesome music, the WWF and Hulk Hogan, and some of the best movies ever made.
I found this video mashup of different scenes from The Lost Boys edited to the song, “Cry Little Sister” by G.Tom Mac. This definitely took me back
This is what makes the internet so awesome! I was able to relive a couple of these awesome childhood memories and escape from the b.s. of today via streaming video
I also understand that there is a second Lost Boys - The Tribe, coming out soon. I just don’t know if they will be able to pull it off without Jason Patric, Keifer Sutherland, and the rest of the original cast. Times change…people change…priorities change…I am glad to read that Corey Haim WILL be featured in the film. I was really let down when I read that he was not going to be featured in the film. I mean seriously, how could you make a second installment of The Lost Boys without both of the Coreys? Turns out that is not the case, and Haim - “Sam” will be present and accounted for in the film.
Here is the trailer for The Lost Boys 2 - The Tribe: Straight to DVD & Blu-Ray 7.29.08
Being a die-hard fan of the franchise, I owe it to myself to see what The Tribe is all about. Until then I will always have the original to fall back on, when I need to escape back to those lost days as a kid of the 80’s. It has been over 21 years since the first movie came out! Damn, I’m getting old. To hell with getting old, it’s all about your frame of mind. I gotta get back to my time machine and listen to this kick ass song one more time…care to join me? I promise I won’t “VAMP OUT” on you.

New Media Will Take Over Old Media…Or Not?
May 17, 2008
The fall of old media is upon us very soon. The fall of it will be very great and for some, too soon. Or will it?
For the past few years, I have been convinced that the rise of podcasts, social networks, live streaming video, and other web technologies will ultimately seal the death of “old media” such as radio and television due to the fact that these old Read more

Get Your Tase On - Let’s Party
May 9, 2008
Ok. I have seen tupperware parties, southern-living parties, and others, but a taser party? This morning, while scouring my feeds, I came across an article on the BBC Americas site about the rise of taser parties in The U.S.A. You know, those hand-held devices that can bring the biggest of men to their knees - “don’t tase me bro”. One such organizer of these taser parties, Dana Shafman of Colorado, holds these parties to both educate women and also sell the devices. Read more
