Last year we gazed back into the golden age of arcade and video game advertising, when ad agencies went all in on sexy (and often sexist) ad campaigns. It was a very different time. Well, there were more than enough examples to warrant a sequel post, so here it is. This time, with 100% more … Continue reading The Art of the Ad: Sex, Lies, and Video Games, Part II
What was the elevator pitch for The Hollywood Knights (1980)? “It’s American Graffiti meets Animal House, only twice as silly and half as fun!” Sold! I don’t care how inferior it is to those films, though. I have a major soft spot for this one. Overall, it’s a frivolous and fluffy affair, a crass teen … Continue reading Baby Pfeiffer, Baby Fran, and the Hollywood Knights

The decade birthed punk rock and rap. It was the decade of the auteur in cinema. Subway graffiti art proliferated across American cities as a … Continue reading Lost and Found: Shock Treatment

For a film no one ever seems to remember, this debut directorial effort by Brett Leonard (Virtuosity) has somehow managed to make it to DVD and Blu-ray formats over the years. Still, it’s a pretty deep cut for eighties horror, one which definitely … Continue reading Lost and Found: The Dead Pit
With Academy Award nominations being announced soon, it seems like a good time to revisit a performance that was unfairly snubbed at the 61st Oscar ceremony in 1989. [cue dramatic music] And if they ever ask about me, tell them I was more than just a great set of boobs. I was also an incredible … Continue reading Elvira’s Oscar Moment
