What Ever Happened To Bailey Quarters?

Anybody who was ever a fan of WKRP In Cincinnati, remembers Bailey Quarters. She was the smart and shy billing manager that soon gained confidence and became, a disc jockey. As the show went on she became sexier, but could never quite compete with Jennifer (Loni Anderson). Bailey was played by Jan Smithers. Smithers didn't act much after WKRP, except for some small roles on T.V. So, after all these years where has she been? Well the answer simple. She has been in California losing her Goddamn mind. After the show she married the future Mr. Barbara Streisand, James Brolin. The ...

Cry, Cry, Cry You Emo Fag Bitches

I have made in no secret on the site that I FUCKING HATE fag/poser rock Emo/Goth music. Bands like My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy are the worst and most popular examples of this shitty music. They are the new form of music rebellion. All the dumb little fag posers that are trying to be cool and tough are emulating them. They walk around the local malls with their fucking mascara on, their fingernails painted, their perfectly side swiped hair, and either their dumb little fucking tie on or their Slipknot shirt depending on whether they are more Goth or Emo at that ...

The Truth About Michael Jackson

It's been nearly a week since the death of Michael Jackson. The initial shock has faded, replaced by grandstanding, speculation, innuendo, and some very tasteless (and very funny) jokes. Seemingly lost in the pandemonium are the simple truths about the man and the people around him. Truths like these: 1. Michael Jackson was NOT the King Of Pop. It's apparently true that a phrase, repeated ad nauseum, will take root no matter how insubstantial or blatantly false. However, that title, created by Jackson himself, does not belong to him ... it rightly belongs to Elvis Presley, who amassed 17 number one singles (to ...

The Midgets Will Get You

Two of my favorite things are midgets and reading the police blotter and nothing is better than having a midget in the police blotter. Check out this police blotter and scroll down to the first blotter under Rockaway. People in New Jersey are even more fucked up than I thought. I just hope it wasn't the midget above that was hiding.

Kevin Smith Is A Whorish Hack

My hatred for Kevin Smith is palpable. His mugging, formless face creeps into my nightmares ... the words he speaks in interviews cause me to grind my teeth in agony. I'll give the guy some credit; he managed to make it in Hollywood by accident. The one film in his "collection" deserving of any substantial mention or praise - CLERKS, of course - was a foul-mouthed series of talking-head scenes that managed to find an audience due to its ultra-low budget. Smith did it just before video cameras and computers made it possible for anyone to do it, which is what ...

I Love Fred

Some internet phenomenons come and go. Remember Tay Zonday and his creepy Chocolate Rain song? Remember Chris Crocker? Yeah, I didn't think so. These guys and many others have become Insta-Hits on YouTube mostly due to their glaring LACK of talent. They make the mistake in thinking that having the whole world laugh AT you is a good thing. But a recent rising star on YouTube has earned his place due to his suprisingly subtle comedic timing and clever improvisation. He is only 14 years old, and he is simply known by adoring millions as Fred. Fred is the creation of a talented ...

When Music Changed Everything

July 13, 1985. It remains the largest single musical event in history. Twenty hours of music. Over fifty of music's biggest acts. Three continents. 1.5 billion viewers. To date it has raised over $250 million dollars to save Ethiopia. And, sadly, it will never happen again. Inspired by a 1984 BBC documentary about the Ethiopian famine, Boomtown Rats singer Bob Geldof lost his mind and, in a matter of just a few months, managed to pull off the most stunning concert in history. The best acts of the eighties meshed seamlessly with the greatest icons of rock's storied history, combining into a global phenomenon that, for ...

Not Crazy For The Signal

Thank you, Danny Boyle. You made an effective thrill ride with 28 Days Later, combining the best of the zombie genre with modern bioterrorist malaise.

Now everybody’s got the “crazy.”

Since the 2002 debut of Boyle’s left-field horror hit, we have been inundated with films attempting to use shaky-strobe cams and snarling, infected humans as horror film backdrops. Some, like Dawn of the Dead, actually succeed on their own merits. Others just pale by comparison.

We have three more in this burgeoning sub-genre coming our way over the next few months. As we told you here, a new movie called REC deals with a virus that infects a building full of people. We will also soon see a version of the Stephen King novel CELL, which details a mysterious, murderous cell phone outbreak.

Arriving before either film is a movie called The Signal. Its plot sounds remarkably familiar if you’ve read the previous two paragraphs … a broadcast signal goes out of every electronic device, causing people to become maddened psychopaths.

Tell me this new trailer doesn’t look EXACTLY like 28 Days Later:

I am all for horror films exploring our inner psyche and sociological paranoia, but seriously – get a fucking tripod and shoot something besides snarling, animalistic humans. PLEASE!! This almost makes me want to go see Zombie’s Halloween just so I can get a more traditional horror film.

I can’t believe I just wrote that.

Thanks Obsessed With Film!

Okay, NO MORE BEING SARCASTIC FOR YOU!!!

Why is it that every time a good idea comes out (28 Weeks Later) that there has to be a hundred versions of the same movie released within 5 years. I’m freaking tired of this crap.

Because the guys running the largest concentration of creative people in the world have no creativity.
