Favorite 80's Vampire Movie?

2008-07-23T19:24:31Z

Even though Lost Boys featured Diane Weist and both fuckup Coreys, there's one I liked even better.
Before Dawn? Before Nightfall?
I can't think of the name, but it featured a vampire gang, one of whom was a confederate soldier. Woman director. I've tried to find it on IMDB with no success.

Back To School

2008-07-01T15:02:51Z

This was on TV yesterday. Had to see it. OMG! Still a funny movie.

Some highlights:
a young Robert Downey Jr. with blue hair & being "anti-establishment".

Billy (er, William) Zabka who fought valiantly for the title of ultimate 80s bad guy against James Spader.

Can't forget Sam Kinison.

Jason Hervey plays the younger version of Dangerfield's character. He even did the collar tug (of getting "no respect").

Edie McClurg (of Ferris "righteous dooode" Buehler fame)

Plus, the rockin' tunes of Danny Elfman & Oingo Boingo. It's a deadman's party!

And of course, Rodney Dangerfield & his blessed triple lindy.

But probably the most inspired scene comes when Thornton gets an F on his Vonnegut paper (written by Vonnegut himself). And Sally Kellerman's character says that "whoever wrote it doesn't know the first thing about Vonnegut". Cut to Thornton telling off Vonnegut on the phone & saying "Fuck me? Hey, Kurt, can you read lips, *fuck you*! Next time I'll call Robert Ludlum! " LMAO!

Devo sues McDonalds

Devo is suing McDonald's over New Wave Nigel, a toy that the fast food restaurant gives away with some Happy Meals. New Wave Nigel is part of an American Idol-related line of freebies based on various genres of music.

"We are in the midst of suing them," (Devo's Jerry) Casale told AAP.

"This New Wave Nigel doll that they've created is just a complete Devo rip-off and the red hat is exactly the red hat that I designed, and it's copyrighted and trademarked.

"They didn't ask us anything. Plus, we don't like McDonald's, and we don't like American Idol, so we're doubly offended."

Go Devo!!

Tribe may be dead, help keep it alive

2008-05-09T23:45:01Z

Not sure if you have heard the rumours, but Tribe is in serious financial trouble. The revenue streams from Google ads have not been
enough to support the operations of Tribe. You may have noticed increased outages and downtime due to this.

I love Tribe. I think it is the best content-driven community web site. I loathe Facebook and MySpace (my perogative). I am even willing to pay
and monthly fee of $5 per month to keep Tribe alive. I don't know if that would be enough.

Some of the Tribes I moderate and participate in are part of my daily life.

I have met some quality people on Tribe and interacted in communities
around the world.

Here is a posting by the Tribe folks regarding keeping Tribe alive.

quiet riot lead singer dies

2007-12-12T01:43:14Z

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Kevin Dubrow, lead singer for the 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot that scored a hit with "Cum on Feel the Noize," was found dead in a Las Vegas home. He was 52. The cause was not immediately known.

A neighbor summoned police and paramedics Sunday to the house where he was pronounced dead, police and coroner's officials said.

There was no forced entry, and no suspicious circumstances were reported, police Officer Jose Montoya said Monday.

Quiet Riot was perhaps best known for its 1983 cover of "Cum on Feel the Noize." The song, featuring Dubrow's powerful, gravelly voice, appeared on the band's album "Metal Health" — which was the first by a metal band to reach No. 1 on the Billboard chart.

DuBrow recorded his first solo album in 2004, "In for the Kill," and the band's last studio CD, "Rehab," came out in October 2006.

"I can't even find words to say," Quiet Riot drummer Frank Banali wrote on his Web site. "Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend Kevin DuBrow."

Determination of the cause of death was pending an autopsy and toxicology results, Clark County coroner's spokeswoman Samantha Charles said.

need help finding a "Love Shack" alt. mix

2007-08-15T10:55:24Z

I recently heard a mix of Love Shack that I can't find anywhere. It started with what sounded like the first minute or so of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and then went into a very accoustic sounding "Love Shack". It was SWEET, but because of where/how I heard it (don't ask) I will likely never find it again without help. So, HELP!!

If anyone has a lead, let me know.

At one point, after the nazi security was shoving people off hte dance floor, Brian Setzer stopped in midsong, said, "Hey, guys....These kids waited 15 years to see us preform live...how about letting them dance???" The crowd went NUTS...I have tons of great pics in my album if anyone wants to check them out...It was AMAZING...

Bizarre pop triangle forms in New Order breakup

2007-08-02T15:17:46Z

The bassist for the pop group New Order has threatened to sue his bandmates after they announced they would continue as a group without him.

"This group has split up. You are no more New Order than I am.… See you in court," wrote Peter Hook on his MySpace website.

Back in May, Hook said the group — known for its driving dance rhythms with hits such as Bizarre Love Triangle, No Regret and Blue Monday — had split up.

The band's last album was released in 2005, Waiting For The Siren's Call.

But band members Bernard Sumner and Stephen Morris released a statement recently that they were carrying on.

"After 30 years in a band together we are very disappointed that Hooky has decided to go to the press and announce unilaterally that New Order have split up. We would have hoped that he could have approached us personally first. He does not speak for all the band, therefore we can only assume he no longer wants to be a part of New Order," said a statement released by Sumner and Morris.

Hook then responded through his MySpace site.

"You may have two-thirds, but don't assume you have the rights to do anything New Ordery 'cos you don't. I've still got a third!" insists Hook in his posting.

Hook did end his online message on a conciliatory tone: "[I] am open to negotiation."

Sumner and Morris said Hook had not told them personally about the decision to end the band. But Hook says his ex-bandmates were fully aware of what was coming.

"Whenever you contact me, it's through the management. I did exactly the same. You all knew what was happening re the split in February."

New Order was formed in 1980 by members of Joy Division after the suicide of singer Ian Curtis.

Parker Lewis Can't Lose

2007-06-19T04:42:38Z

I know that this show didn't start until the very end of the 80s, but I can't imagine associating it with any other decade.

I just found a set with every episode, and have been rewatching from the beginning...I've got to say that the show hasn't lost anything at all...still funny, sharp, quick, and even relevant.

Ms.Musso: "What do you think happens to presidents who lie, cheat, and manipulate their way through life?"
Parker: "They get re-elected?"

revisted some of your favorite old movies from the 80's, Only to realize it wasn't quite as "cool" as you remembered?

Of course there are some time honored classics such as the breakfast club... but I'm talking about movies you loved... and watching them now makes you go "huh?"

Footloose is like that for me, Somehow I remember Kevin Bacon being MUCH hotter in that flick, and I can't believe I ever thought playing chicken with tractors was cool!!! hahaha

Knight Rider Trans Am talks up a sale

2007-04-06T07:05:10Z

A California dealership specializing in hot rods and muscle cars is offering a piece of 1980s TV kitsch for sale: the black 1982 Pontiac Trans Am from Knight Rider.

The sleek two-door coupe is one of four "camera cars" that was used for close-up shots and scenes of series star David Hasselhoff conversing with his artificially intelligent vehicle/co-star KITT, short for Knight Industries Two Thousand. The car was voiced by actor William Daniels.

The series, which ran from 1982 to 1986, starred Hasselhoff as crime-fighter Michael Knight, and featured the heroic sports car helping to foil evildoers by jumping across rivers, rocketing to speeds of 300 mph and ejecting flares, tear gas, smoke bombs or oil slicks.

The real Trans Am, of course, cannot perform any of those feats, but fans of the '80s series will be happy to note that the car's scanner light on the tip of its hood and the modified dashboard full of buttons have been configured to glow just as they did on the show.

Kassabian Motors — which specializes in selling pre-owned high-performance cars like Corvettes, Camaros and Mustangs — is currently displaying the modified Trans Am and offering it for $149,995 US on behalf of owner Tim Russo, who purchased the car at an auction a decade ago and has restored the car to its original glory.

According to the Dublin, Calif., dealership's John Verhoek, the car cannot be legally driven because of its modifications.

Verhoek said he expects the car will be bought by a museum or private individual for a collection.

one of my favorite artists from the 80's that made a regulaar appearance on the show was Bobby Jimmy and the Critters - who had a string of hits including "Big Butt", "Somebody Farted" and the parody of the timex social clubs "rumors" called "Roaches" for some reason these songs came into my head the other night and i just remembered where i heard them 1st.

what the hell is this song?

2007-02-23T16:05:02Z

i too have been trying to figure out this song.

the only lyrics i remember are

1 2 3 4
get your booty on the floor
you gotta get up to get down..

BUT!!
its not One nation under a groove by Parliment or george clinton. or at least, its not their version of it.

the guy singing it sounded just like the singer from One night in bangkok, same kind of talking thing going on.

now, this song was on a cassette tape that my cousins stepdaughter had way back in the early 80s. so i have no clue to anything.
does ANYone know what the hell i'm talking about or am i just completly insane? ")

There is not any cartoon worth waking up for on a Satrday morning anymore. I can remember the days when I would look forward to Saturday mornings for all the great cartoons that they had on. Some of my favorites were the Smurfs (All those male Smurfs and only one female? How did they ever survive?) Thundercats, He-Man and She-RA, Dungeons and Dragons, Garfield......The list goes on....... Things just aren't the same anymore. What were your favorites?

our OWN 80's song lyric game

2006-12-23T20:42:30Z

Alright...I propose we start our own game. This will work simliarly to the title game, but instead you post a lyric. Someone must identify the title and artist, and in doing so, they post their own lyric and the game continues. Something similar to this is done in the Princeology tribe, and it's a lot of fun.

I'll start:

You think you're in the movies; everything's so deep.

Totally Awesome

2006-12-20T23:09:32Z

I ordered the DVD from amazon before I knew that it was going to be shown on VH1 for free. I wish I had known it was on VH1 for free before ordering it.... Did anyone see it? It's not bad, but it's not really that good either. The scenes with the dancing are pretty funny, and Tracy Morgan's character gets a few laughs in, but otherwise it's kind of embarrassing. The premise is that they find lost footage of a teen movie made in 1986 (which my roommate believed at first until I pointed out that Chris Kattan was not 40 years old in 1986....) that was never released for some reason. The plot is a spoof on famous '80s teen movies, most notably Pretty In Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful, Can't Buy Me Love, Karate Kid, Dirty Dancing, and Teen Wolf. The '80s looks are interesting, but it's really not that funny, except for the aforementioned dancing scenes. The Wedding Singer was a much better spoof of the '80s.

MTV turns 25 on 8/1/07

2006-12-06T15:05:01Z

NEW YORK - No one knows how to throw a party like MTV. So there must be quite a bash planned for Aug. 1, celebrating 25 years on the air. Right?

Sorry. MTV is staying in that night. There are no plans to even mention the birthday.

When your average viewer is 20 years old — too young to remember Martha Quinn, not even born when Madonna buckled on her "boy toy" belt — perhaps it's wise not to mention you're 25. MTV wants to be the perpetual adolescent.

On a relentless mission to stay hip, MTV casually discards generations. Yesterday, "Beavis and Butt-head." Today, "Laguna Beach."

And at each stop, MTV changes pop culture.

Without MTV, you might not have reality television. Commercials wouldn't have vertigo-inducing quick cuts. Musicians wouldn't need to look like models to survive. Kelly Osbourne wouldn't have gotten near a recording studio. And only seamstresses would know about wardrobe malfunctions.

Our birthday present is a look back at 25 memorable MTV moments:

1. THE DEBUT: Aug. 1, 1981. The first video? The slyly prophetic "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the now-forgotten Buggles. Only a few thousand people on a single cable system in northern New Jersey could see it. Sometimes the screen would go black when someone at MTV inserted a tape into a VCR. Within a few years, millions of kids demanded their parents buy cable so they could see MTV. Along with CNN, it led TV's transition out of the three-channel world. "This was the fuse that lit the cable explosion," said Robert Thompson, professor of popular culture at Syracuse University.

2. BEAT IT: March 31, 1983. Michael Jackson becomes the first black artist with a video on MTV. The segregation was MTV's early shame, ironic considering its later role in popularizing rap. And the early snub wasn't forgotten: "You don't have all of music television when you are leaving things out," says Los Lonely Boys singer Henry Garza.

3. THRILLER: Dec. 2, 1983. Less a video than a 14-minute mini-movie with Vincent Price, ghouls and goblins, the premiere of Jackson's "Thriller" was an event. MTV gave it a set time on the schedule — several, even. It was the apotheosis of the idea of music videos as an art form. With director John Landis involved, it also was proof that Hollywood's finest weren't looking down upon what are essentially promo clips.

4. MADONNA BUSTS OUT: Sept. 14, 1984. Performing "Like a Virgin" at the first Video Music Awards, Madonna popped out of a cake dressed in a wedding gown and writhed through her hit. At that moment, Madonna became a superstar, put the VMAs on the map and set an enduring tone. Who cares about those ugly "moon man" trophies? What matters is making the audience gasp.

5. MONEY FOR NOTHING: 1985. The Dire Straits song was about MTV, mocked MTV and became the band's biggest hit because of MTV. It was one of the first videos to feature computer animation, and Sting made a clever cameo echoing his role in iconic "I want my MTV" ads. The rules for music stardom had changed. Being photogenic was now crucial; an eye-catching video made hits. "It was America's first national radio network," says record executive Phil Quartararo.

6. BYE-BYE VJs: Original video jock J.J. Jackson's contract expired in 1985. Nina Blackwood followed him out the next year and so did Martha Quinn, breaking the hearts of countless teenage boys. Alan Hunter and Mark Goodman were next. Only Adam Curry lasted into the '90s. MTV refused to follow its aging first fans, courting teens instead. It also realized that airing videos was a dead end and began aggressively developing other programming. Those were probably the most important financial decisions MTV ever made.

7. SPRING BREAK: March 21, 1985: College students who couldn't make it south in person could turn on MTV to catch the party. Each year it returns, a drunken bash with young, firm, scantily clad bodies oozing with sweat and undulating to the music. Stop us! We need a cold shower. "There were people who looked like they were having sex on the dance floor," VJ Suzie Castillo says about last year's festivities in Cancun. MTV's spring break coverage arguably gave rise to the "Girls Gone Wild" video series, where the breasts didn't need to be pixelated.

8. RAP BLASTS OFF: Aug. 6, 1986. It's no coincidence that "Yo! MTV Raps!" premiered about the same time rap started becoming the dominant music form for young America. Hip white kids like Rick Rubin or the Beastie Boys may have loved rap before, but "Yo! MTV Raps!" brought it into every suburban living room. "Going from the network that was called on the carpet for not having blacks to this was a huge leap, and it was the right one for MTV," says Christina Norman, MTV's first black president.

9. PEE-WEE'S RETURN: Sept. 5, 1991. It was a hard fall for Pee-wee Herman, from star of one of television's most popular kids' shows to a national punch line when an undercover officer saw him masturbating in an adult theater. Herman went undercover himself for more than a month until creeping out onstage at the opening of that year's VMAs. "Heard any good jokes lately?" Herman asked, to howls of laughter.

10. ENTER GRUNGE: Sept. 29, 1991: Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video killed the hair metal scene and signaled the ascendancy of grunge. The images themselves were an arresting accent, with the tattooed cheerleaders and what seemed like an underwater pep rally in a dank gymnasium. "The band, the sound and the imagery in the video was sort of a breath of fresh air — or a scream," said MTV series development guru Tony DiSanto.

11. CLAPTON UNPLUGGED: March 11, 1992. Only the most desperate of fading 1980s bands — Nuclear Valdez, Squeeze, the Alarm — responded to MTV's first requests to show off their acoustic chops. But fans responded to the intimacy and stars soon lined up: Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen (who got nervous and insisted on an electric guitar) — and Eric Clapton, in his first performance since his son died after falling from a skyscraper window. "Everybody who was there felt something special was going on," says Van Toffler, president of MTV's music services. Clapton had to be talked into releasing the show on CD, and it became his biggest-selling album.

12. BOXERS OR BRIEFS?: April 19, 1994. Two years in office, President Clinton submitted to 90 minutes of questions on complex policy issues by 16-to-20-year-olds before a live MTV audience. Everything else was forgotten when 17-year-old Laetitia Thompson of Potomac, Md., asked: "Mr. President, the world's dying to know. Is it boxers or briefs?" "Usually briefs," the president replied, looking slightly non-plussed. Today, most presidential candidates use MTV to reach first-time voters.

13. HEH-HEH. COOL: March 24, 1994: Who'd have thunk that "Beavis and Butt-head" would make the cover of Rolling Stone? When Toffler received a pilot tape of two adolescent cartoon characters playing baseball with a frog, he watched it nearly 100 times. "You have a feeling in your bones that there's something different about it that's unique and it will either flop miserably or succeed brilliantly." It was stupid, gross-out humor — but many older people secretly wished they could act that way.

14. REALITY BITES: June 23, 1994. It's hard to recall a time when setting up a group of strangers in a camera-filled home was a new idea. But the 1992 debut of "The Real World" "invented reality TV," says Thompson. "It's absolutely ground zero." And the inclusion of Pedro Zamora, who was gay and soon to die of AIDS, in the 1994 season did more to promote tolerance than hundreds of public service announcements. "It was probably the most riveting piece of television I had ever seen," says Brian Graden, then a young, gay man and now an MTV programming exec. "I had never seen someone like myself reflected back to me ... it really changed things for a whole generation of gay people."

15. FEEDBACK LOOP: April 14, 1998: Jesse Camp wins the first "I Wanna Be a VJ" contest. Stuck in a rut, MTV was searching for some way to make its audience feel connected to the network. The wild-haired, willfully outrageous Camp seemed sent from central casting, and it was the audience doing the casting.

16. TIMES SQUARE LIVE: Oct. 22, 1998. The Backstreet Boys shut down Times Square during a "Total Request Live" appearance. The ruckus cemented "TRL's" role as pop culture's home page, with Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears as king and queen of the new scene.

17. JIGGLE IT: Sept. 9, 1999. When Lil' Kim presented a VMA with a pasty-clad breast, Diana Ross couldn't resist a playful fondle. Lucky Ross wasn't there eight years earlier, when Prince performed wearing pants with the butt cut out. A year later, Howard Stern parodied that look by descending from the sky as "Fartman."

18. TIPSY: Oct. 1, 2000. Thinking about "Jackass" Johnny Knoxville getting tipped over in the port-a-potty still makes you hold your nose. Knoxville specialized in painful on-camera tricks, and "Jackass" quickly became MTV's most popular show. Unfortunately for MTV — or maybe fortunately if there's no such thing as bad publicity — many stunts were copied by viewers.

19. MARIAH'S MELTDOWN: July 19, 2001. No one knew quite how to react when Carey made a surprise appearance on "TRL" pushing an ice cream cart filled with popsicles. A nervous Carson Daly kept trying to cut to a commercial, but Carey wouldn't stop talking. She said she had a gift for him — then took off her oversized T-shirt to reveal a tight tank top and skimpy shorts. A week later Carey was checked into a hospital for "extreme exhaustion."

20. $ @ !: March 5, 2002: Sharrrr-rronnnn! The first bleeped-out swear word on "The Osbournes" premiere was followed by 58 others. For a while, the foggy-headed rocker, his type-A wife and self-involved kids became America's first family, if only for the sheer weirdness of their life. They quickly wore thin — and were responsible for a rash of dull has-beens who thought their lives would make great television — but not before Sharon got her own talk show, daughter Kelly a recording contract and son Jack a stint in rehab.

21. DOGGING EMINEM: Aug. 29, 2002: The rap star was in no mood to hear Triumph the Insult Comic Dog chew over his feud with Moby. So when approached by the puppet on the VMAs, Eminem delivered a sucker punch and then flew into a rage backstage. "He was really furious," said MTV executive vice president Dave Sirulnick, "which was startling because here was this guy who built his career on dissing and dishing. And this was a puppet."

22. ASHTON PUNKS JUSTIN: March 17, 2003. "Candid Camera" with an edge, the debut of Kutcher's series "Punk'd" had a crew posing as the "Tax Enforcement Agency" seizing Justin Timberlake's possessions after saying he owed $900,000 in back taxes. The title is now ensconced in the popular lexicon.

23. CHICKEN OR TUNA?: Aug. 19, 2003. "Newlyweds" followed the telegenic Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey as they navigated marital bliss. They truly became famous when cameras caught Simpson confused by whether a can of Chicken of the Sea contained tuna. Presto! America had a new favorite dim blonde.

24. THE KISS: Aug. 28, 2003. It was MTV's idea to bring back Madonna for a reprise of "Like a Virgin" for the 20th video music awards, and MTV's idea to pair her with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. The open-mouthed kiss that she planted on the two young stars? That was pure Madonna, and it outranked the creepy Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley for most memorable kiss.

25. STEPHEN & LC: Nov. 26, 2004. Viewers were gripped by the love triangle on new MTV hit "Laguna Beach," and Kristin's partying on spring break in this episode temporarily cost her her boyfriend. MTV's original idea was a reality version of "Beverly Hills 90210," but they ended up with a reality version of "The O.C." instead. The real-life soap opera breaks convention by unfolding slowly, with none of the reality TV cliches like confessional interviews. "Again," Thompson says, "MTV is two steps ahead."

Boy George: new Culture Club singer is 'dreadful'

2006-12-06T03:47:59Z

Singer doesn't rate his replacement

Boy George has slammed the performance of Culture Club's new vocalist.

The 80s star pronounced Sam Butcher's performance as "dreadful" and "terrible", after seeing a video of the reformed version of his old band on MySpace.

Speaking to BBC NEWS, George declared: "I wanted to like it but I couldn't. They're my songs, they're my heart, they're my life.

"To me, the mark of a good band is when someone else can't successfully sing their songs, and he can't sing my songs."

The remaining members of Culture Club recruited Butcher, 29, after Boy George declined to rejoin them.

Culture Club Reborn are set to embark on a UK tour this winter, calling at the following venues:

Manchester University (December 7)
Sheffield University (8)
Harrogate International Conference Centre (10)
Birmingham Symphony Hall (11)
Newcastle City Hall (12)
Glasgow Carling Academy (14)
Aberdeen Music Hall (15)
Liverpool Carling Academy (16)
Brighton Dome (18)
Bristol Carling Academy (19)
Southampton Guildhall (21)
Shepherds Bush Empire (22)

'80s movies that should be on DVD but aren't yet

2006-12-06T00:25:42Z

The new Pretty In Pink edition reminded me of '80s movies I've been waiting a long time for to be released on DVD but haven't yet. If you could pick three movies from the '80s that haven't been released on DVD yet but totally should be, what would they be?

1) Night of the Comet
2) Modern Girls
3) Heavenly Bodies

Lindsay Lohan for Stevie Nicks role?

2006-12-05T20:45:24Z

Apparently Lindsay Lohan has another intention than just covering a Stevie Nicks song like she did in her latest album, "A Little More Personal (Raw)." Life & Style Weekly has reported that the beauty is eyeing a chance to turn the famed singer's life into the big screen and currently is trying to obtain the rights to film her story.

"[Lindsay] says that movies like Ray and Walk the Line are good examples of the kinds of projects she'd like to do," an insider said to the magazine. "She feels like she's found a dream role in a story about Stevie Nicks at the height of Fleetwood Mac's fame. Lindsay loves the music of that era, and [people] have told her she has the same distinctive gravelly voice as Stevie's."

Furthermore, L&S also revealed that Lohan is hoping that her "Chapter 27" co-star Jared Leto will take a starring role in the planned project as well to play Lindsey Buckingham, Nicks' bandmate in Fleetwood Mac also her former romantic partner.

"[Lindsay] keeps saying what a great team they are on-screen and that she has always wondered why [Jared] didn't have a bigger career," a source to the magazine remarked.
