Sort of sequel to Knocked Up, This is 40, now has a trailer!

Judd Apatow can do no wrong in my eyes. Do you remember what comedy movies were like before he came along with Knocked Up? I do. It was awful. The R rated comedy was DEAD. But he came and put life back into it like a Necromancer. Yes. Skyrim reference. Boo yaa! Anywho, for those who saw Knocked Up, you may remember Paul Rudd and Leslie Manns characters. Well this movie is about them. It is unclear who else from Knocked Up will be returning but in this trailer we see the gynecologist as well as Jason Segels character. It comes out this Christmas. Prepare for taint joke.

The Return of Leisure Suit Larry! In HD!

Back in 1987, Sierra was king to me. Before there was Skyrim, I was running around in Kings Quest on my PC. And there was a certain guy that taught me a lot about adulthood, even though I was just a young buck. His name, is Leisure Suit Larry.


It appears that Replay Games has been aiming to raise $500,000 to make this game possible, and they have done it. With the help of the original creator of the game, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards will be hitting every PC, console and mobile device possible. And if it is a success, they will continue bringing back the entire original series of games, in HD!

TLC Set for Reunion Tour....WITH Left Eye

I pretty much predicted stuff like this would be coming after my report of 2Pac's return at CoachellaTMZ reports that TLC members T-Boz and Chilli will be doing a 2012 reunion tour.  Apparently the word is that the tour will feature a special appearance from Left Eye as well.  Now we know that 2Pac was able to return in hologram form thanks to millions of dollars, millions of dollars I'm pretty sure TLC doesn't have.

So it looks like they will be attempting the next best thing, which will be projecting Left Eye on a big screen.  It might come across as low rent, but maybe they can make it work.  The bigger question is, can TLC draw crowds to big arenas with only 2 members and some small Left Eye representation.  TLC was the hottest group anywhere 10-15 years ago, but has their time now passed?  I vaguely remember TLC doing a reality show to find a new member, but apparently that never happened as they seem to have forgotten it ever happened too.

It's a bold move, but maybe there is enough nostalgic memories to make people want to see TLC at least one more time on tour.  I have a feeling the appearances from Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes won't be as spectacular as 2Pac was, but still could be pretty cool. The jury is out on this one, TLC is just going to have to hit the road and see how things work out.  It's hard to believe that today is actually the 10 year anniversary of the day Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes died.

Rock Chicks from the 90s!

There was a huge collection of chicks in the 90s who just wanted to rock out and make teenage boys like myself discover the strange new things happening to their bodies thanks to these chicks. Well some of them. Others were a little too scary.


AND EVERYTHIGNS FIIIIIINNNEEEEEAABABABBEEEEERRRRR!!!!!!


I actually saw Veruca Salt in concert. One of them grabbed cotton candy and rubbed it on their crotch and threw it in the crowd. I wasn’t quite sure how to handle that situation at the time.I know I did end up wearing my Veruca Salt shirt almost every day though.



Gwen Stefani was def the hottest rock chick of the 90s. And she is one of the very very few who actually made it out of the 90s. An entire blog dedicated to Gwen will be along at some point in the future.

I remember I bought this album the same day I went and bought a Jenny McCarthy poster. Epic day.

This video made me feel kinda funny.

Major nostalgia with this song.

Never heard any other song by these guys but this song was so awesome they didn’t need any other songs.

This band was referenced on an episode of Roseanne once.

Lucious Jackson actually did a bunch of songs for the show The Adventures Of Pete & Pete.

HOLY CRAP. I forgot all about this song until I started making this list.

This song was so freaking cool back then, I remember I borrowed this CD from this guy I worked with at a golf course, and never gave it back. Ha!

Wowza. This song had me questioning all kinds of new things in life.

This song always pissed me off mainly because there was some weird Jock Jam remix version that was played more than the original version.

Remember buying a CD for just one song? This was that one song.

Lisa. Loeb. Many who know me, know I have had a crush on Lisa Loeb ever since she first popped up on my TV all those years ago. Those damn glasses. I think this list needs to end here.

G.I. Joe Retaliation has a full on trailer! Fully!

I am so happy to see The Rock full embracing and becoming what we all hoped he would when he jumped into movies, an action star. A living action figure. Weve been missing the full on action superstar in movies for years now. And I am also thrilled to see that we are getting a proper G.I. Joe movie. The last one was aimed directly at little kids, and not really for the fans, but this time, it is OUR time. GOOOOOO JOE!!!!!!!

The trailer reveals what happens to the characters from the previous movie, and gives us a bit more info on the plot. So slight spoilers are in the trailer.
