Weird Web Wednesdays: Shia LaBeouf Gets Bitch Slapped
Published 6/25/2008 by Sean at Film Junk
weirdwebshiabitchslap.jpg You’ve been waiting all week, and now here it is… another round-up of the best of the worst that the web has to offer! This week I’m pleased to present a celebrity in a compromising situation as young Shia LaBeouf appears drunk at a party, asking his friend to slap him. The thing is, he also lets a certain derogatory word slip, and was forced to issue a public apology ...

The Animatronic Wizard Behind The Pizza Curtain
Published 6/26/2008 at Videogum
Earlier this week, all the blogs were posting a video of the Rock-afire Explosion performing Usher's "Love in This Club." It was a little confusing because that video circulated weeks ago, but I'd heard that Chris Thrash was having some trouble with his videos getting taken down, and besides it's such a great video that who cares. We should probably all be posting it every day anyway. Go watch it right now, please. But who is Chris Thrash exactly? Besides a genius? Well, apparently someone is making a feature length documentary about the Rockafire Explosion answering that very question. It's like a cross between ...

Showbiz Puppets Sing Ushers “Love In This Club”
Published 6/26/2008 by seriouslymcmillan at Seriously McMillan's "She So Ghetto"
As I look for interesting things to put on my blog, I found this juicy little morsel that got me laughing and enjoying the song that I did find annoying at one point. The “Ehh’s” are what I got tired of quickly, but seeing the cool gorilla and the sun sing them is refreshing. These “puppets” are actually from Showbiz ...

‘Umbrella’ Watch 2008: Vulture’s Top Five Songs of the Summer
Published 7/2/2008 at Vulture
Photo: Getty Images A few weeks ago, Vulture set out on an ambitious quest to find 2008's Song of the Summer, a track that would rule the pop charts, be inescapable on the radio and in the streets, and probably wind up on your mom's iPod sometime in October. It would have to be immediately catchy, evocative of the season, and as ...

The Rock-afire Explosion Movie Trailer (Accurately Fun/Creepy!)
Published 7/4/2008 by orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com) at /Film
We’ll take this sentence to offer the ongoing meme for Showbiz Pizza’s house band an extended welcome and a thanks for making so many parents’ divorces and kids’ birthday parties that much more awkward, wacky and bipolar. A new documentary shines a light on the magic inner workings and fandom of The Rock-afire Explosion, the animatronic musical act and variety show that was a loud staple at Showpizza franchises in the ’80s. An indie doc from Window Pictures, the film centers on a 31-year-old Alabamian enviously named, Chris ...

Remember the Rocka-fire Explosion?
Published 7/7/2008 by Annie Barrett at Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch
Sure you do. They're the animatronic band who played at Showbiz Pizza (R.I.P.) in the '80s to temporarily distract kids like me from expertly losing all their arcade tokens in 20 minutes. (I still have two of those things, trapped in this weird, tiny ceramic shoe, at the family homestead in Illinois.) I love this bit of trivia, from Rocka-fire's Wikipedia page: ...

The Hunt For The Worst Movie Of All Time: I Am Sam
Published 7/14/2008 at Videogum
When it was released in 2001, I Am Sam earned Sean Penn an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of a mentally handicapped Starbucks employee, which is funny, because if it wasn't for his performance this movie would never have been nominated in The Hunt. This is the first movie featured in this abysmal project that has an Academy Award nomination, which is mildly surprising considering how many rare misses that organization makes every year, but even more surprising is that it's the first film in The Hunt featuring Dakota Fanning. She's the worst, and by worst I mean 47-year-old animatronic emotionbot. Have you seen the video of her singing ...

The Muppets Continue To Pwn The Internet
Published 7/24/2008 at Videogum
Move over Chris Thrash, Bert and Ernie rap M.O.P.'s "Ante Up." (via BuzzFeed) I'm telling you, just before he died, Jim Henson went back to VSI to complete the final stage of his evolution. He projected himself into the mainframe computer and became PURE ENERGY. How else can you explain this almost daily influx of Henson-based videos and mash-ups? I mean besides the internet's intense passion for anything that combines nostalgia with contemporary pop culture? If you take that out of the equation the only possible explanation is that Jim Henson is the Lawnmower Man. It's called "Gabe's Razor," which is the ...

Benevento/Russo Duo @ Martyr's, Chicago 9/7/08
Published 29 days ago by Mitchell Bandur at LIVE MUSIC BLOG.com
The Duo are one of those bands. They sing barely a sound during their entire set, but they converse with each other through casual banter with the audience. They drink Maker's Mark convincingly. They turn cartoons themes into anthems. They are addictive. This only my third time seeing the two Italians, Andrew said it was near his tenth. All glory aside, there wasn't a huge crowd at the north side venue. Even still, everyone who was there stayed past midnight on a Sunday, which Benevento acknowledged right before he told everyone where to stash the drugs (under his van's left tire). It was a perfect way to cap off a long and strange weekend in Chicago. ...
