56K Modem Simulator

Do you want to simulate what it was like to browse the internet in 1996?

Of course, we all do.

Well then head on down to 56K.rip.

Top That - A Retrospective

The stars of Top That (from the movie "Teen Witch") talk about the making of Top That (from the movie "Teen Witch").

Although the scene remains enigmatic, it is at least a little less so. I've always wondered why what's-her-name would be so in-your-face to the boy she had a crush on.

Also, did you know that's not really the actors' voices in the song? Yes, we all knew that. We all knew that implicitly. Remote tribes who aren't aware that movies exist and have never heard of the concept of overdubbed audio, know instinctively that those people are not making those sounds.

If you're looking for the "Dude-atude" documentary that's notably absent from this blog, you can find it here.

Why Are You Laughing? - Norm on Letterman

For nearly two hours, Blind Mike looks back at Norm's appearances on David Letterman's talk shows.

You don't need me to tell you what I think of it - of course it's excellent.

WATP - Jerry Banfield's New Business Model

I'm currently reading "Debunking Economics" by Steve Keen, in which the modern "science" of economics is shown to be built on false premises and therefore provably false.

And although I'm only partway through the book, my mind is ready for Jerry Banfield's alternate business strategy where he goes into debt and expects money to come to him when he offers no desirable product or service.

Break it down, Jerry.

JonTron - Bicentennial Man

JonTron has returned and he reviews the film "Bicentennial Man."

I remember the movie coming out but have never seen it so I have no further thoughts, other than that this video is great.

They Made a Willy Wonka Game Show

I'm not mad. I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed.
