A confluence!

Airwolf Season 4? What’s that all about? I saw an episode & thought I was dreaming.

Almagamated mirror world tv show on laughing gas.

Not the Jan Michael Vincent & Ernest Borgnine jaunt in a weaponized whirlybird I was accustomed to!

Airwolf SE4 was broadcast on the USA Network, budget slashed, had the entire cast replaced, they filmed in Canada, & reused the flight scenes from earlier seasons! The chopper was a fake too!

Watch Airwolf Season 4 episode 20 “The Puppet Master” either on Hulu (why is it on HULU? Bandwidth be damned!),

or a dedicated fansite! http://bit.ly/9kSIp (OF ALL THE THINGS TO MAKE A FANSITE ABOUT?)

OMG! THEY'RE GONNA MAKE ME WATCH IT!

Spoiler: It’s like the Bloodhound Gang meets Skynet on the set of War of the Worlds the series. (Yes, I watched WOTWTS.)

It’s just so bizarre on many different levels.

Here’s the intro to Season 4 on youtube:

It’s not quite the same is it without JMV and EB?

Think I’ll go back to watching Banacek.

Ahhhh, R.I.P. George Peppard.

In honor of the The Boss playing in Boston tonight (and the weather)

I thought it appropriate to share one of my favorite songs from Born in the USA.

Downbound Train is a lament and a dirge, like only Springsteen can do it.

Bruce , Paris, 1985

Bruce , Hamburg, 2003


Mark, his basement, 2007

The ultimate re-gift.

The ultimate re-gift.

H & M’s holiday commercials play around with size and proportion and what’s inside of their pastel gift boxes. Some of the boxes have jewelry, others have crowds of tiny party-goers.

One has a human head inside.

The 2 second pitch for this ad might have “Se7en meets Gulliver’s Travels in the Roaring 20′s .” (and throw in a little Michel Gondry for good measure.)

It’s a flash site, so no direct link to the clips :( …

It’s filed under FILM and I prefer the Version NR. 2, it’s a bit peppier.
