The Star Wars Christmas Special

Not to be confused with the God-awful Star Wars Holiday Special of 1978. This litle gem was recently put together with some neat little "photoshopping" and a better story overall. I'll let HotAir's Allahpundit tell you better...

Yogi Bear Parody

It's about time Boo Boo showed Yogi who the boss is. Apparently this is going viral, so you might have seen it already. If you haven't, you may want to visit the laboratory before you watch it.
Instant classic.



It may be a little tasteless. But c'mon, it's animated. No actual bears were harmed in the filming of this sequence.
You gotta love the The Assassination of Jesse James ending.

Technology Blossoms a Fountain of Youth in Hollywood

A younger Jeff Bridges in "Tron: Legacy" shows how George Lucas' idea of "digging up" deceased Hollywood stars maybe eerie, but not that far off. Thus the age-old question, what will they think of next?

It Was 30 Years Ago Today

December 8, 1980. The day lone gunman and self-described Beatles fan, Mark David Chapman gunned down John Lennon in front of his Dakota apartment building and his wife, Yoko Ono.

I was only nine when this went down. But I still remember the TV news reports, the outpouring of emotions (from both strangers on the street and on TV as well as my sister's friends bawling. It was a weird time for a kid not knowing who this guy was at the time. What was the big deal, I wondered. Well, once I found out who Lennon was and what he meant to the music world and the history of rock and roll after getting into the Beatles in grade eight (and being forced to endure the chuckles and snickers from my musically ignorant classmates) I, like the rest of the world learned to appreciate what exactly he had contributed. Not only in the Beatles, but, as some people may opine, more importantly his solo career.

Released in 1988, Imagine: John Lennon probably remains the best account of Lennon's releatively short solo career.

Meanwhile in New York's Central Park...
