Michael Jackson may be dead but he lives on in everyone's attempts to make a quick buck off him. It seems the SEGA Genesis game Michael Jackson's Moonwalker will be coming to the Wii.
PEGI listing spills beans. SEGA's classic Moonwalker game may be heading to Virtual Console months after the death of the man it's based on, Michael Jackson. PEGI supplies the evidence: a listing for the game on Wii carrying the 12 age rating. An adaptation of the Moonwalker film, the game follows the story of mean man Joe Pesci and hero MJ, who spins and kicks his way through 1930s period baddies....
Filed under: News , R.I.P. Paul Preminger, former drummer for the notorious Vancouver-based garage punk band the Smugglers , died of an apparent heart attack on October 27. Preminger -- who co-founded the band in the late 1980's, but left to become a chef in 1992 -- played on the band's early singles, debut EP and compilation tracks. Smugglers vocalist Grant Lawrence, who doubles as a CBC Radio 3...
Victoria’s Secret was founded in 1972, but the company didn’t really hit its stride until the 1990’s when it began to use hot supermodels to show off its sexy line of lingerie. Victoria’s Secret has a flag-ship store in New York City’s Herald Square and 1,000 outlets nationwide. They’re all absolutely gorgeous! One reason for that is the incredibly gorgeous models...
Paul Preminger, founding drummer of Vancouver-punks The Smugglers , has passed away from a heart attack. Smugglers vocalist Grant Lawrence remembered Preminger to Straight.com as: A guy that hit the drums hard, and who lived hard. He was a Joe Pesci, bulldog kind of a guy, but very smart, very funny, and very kind. He was one of those guys who'd sit on the couch and answer every single question...
This week, I’m preparing for the beginning of Sesame Street ’s 40th season next week by watching old Sesame Street anniversary specials. Check out my thoughts on the 10th anniversary and the 20th anniversary. So here we are in 1994, and it’s Sesame Street ’s 25th anniversary, and wow. A lot has changed since the 20th anniversary five short years ago. In fact, there were more...
To Our Clients, Colleagues and Friends, The Federal Home Loan Banks of Chicago , Boston and Pittsburg all lost money last quarter. Having a FHLB potentially fail is pretty scary. The markets seem to indicate a real fear of commercial real estate values. At least that’s our conclusion from seeing how the commercial mortgage REITs [...]
Eternal thanks to Videogum for unearthing this 1998 video in which Joe Pesci… umm… raps . Unironically, I assume. And yes, he's terrible. But as terrible things often go, this video eventually transforms from terrible to very nearly awesome. Check it out. So this song ("Wise Guy") is from an actual album that you will find and buy for me—before Christmas, please. It was...
Pretty darn old news, but I was reading about Joe Pesci recently and saw that after that most unfortunate debacle with Sinead O'Connor having torn up a picture of His Holiness John Paul II on Saturday Night Live way back when, Joe Pesci hosted the very next episode and presented a fixed version of the picture. I guess that makes him a Defender of the Faith.... or at least Papal Champion. A little blurb...
Has it really been 20 years since GoodFellas ? Wow. Just think: Sam Jackson played Stacks in that film for a fleeting moment, and has appeared in 108 productions since. I'm not sure where I'd rank it all time, but GoodFellas is in the upper tier. In terms of crime films/mob movies, I don't think you can have a reputable top five list that excludes it. It's Scorsese at the peak of his powers, vintage...
"Michael Jackson's This Is It" premieres tonight worldwide. The film will finally reveal exactly what the King of Pop was working on when he tragically passed away, preventing him from performing his planned 50-date residency at London's O2 Arena. But "This Is It" isn't the only Jackson-related event kicking off this week, as "Michael Jackson: [...]
Blu-Ray News: Warner Home Video have announced the US Blu-ray Disc release of Goodfellas: 20th Anniversary Edition on 16th February 2009. From Nicholas Pileggi's true-life bestseller Wiseguy, GoodFellas was directed and co-written by Martin Scorsese and stars Robe...
On “the President of Europe” from Nosemonkey’s EUtopia The proposed President of the European Council is very far from being “President of Europe” – either in terms of profile or power. Whoever lands the job (and it’s highly unlikely to be Tony Blair) will have practically zero influence on anything, acting instead as little more than a moderator [...]
Why the original Transformers movie is better than the new one? chambers and, perhaps, the Elephant Man's bones. Whether an illness or a form of self-mutilation, it was a shame. The appealingly handsome young man on the cover of Off the Wall and Thriller morphed (as in the famous "Black or White" video) into a synthetic science-fiction construction that could only have inhabited an artificial universe

What is your favourite transformer?
My favourite transformer is Bumble Bee (duh). So tell me what your favourite is.
WHY TRANSFORMERS 2 WAS NOT AS GOOD AS TRANSFORMERS 1
Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen was not as good as Transformers, because in the first movie there was more robot battles, but, in the second movie there...
