Miami Connection: The Lost 80s Ninja Rock Action Epic Extravaganza

If you can’t tell by the poster, this is the real deal, folks.

So, real quick… Alamo Drafthouse (we’ve featured the killer artwork for their 2nd-run films) has unearthed a lost 80s epic called Miami Connection and are presenting it at their many fine locations. They’re also making the soundtrack and other goodies available online. I think a roadtrip’s in order. Fire up the DeLorean.

The year is 1987. Motorcycle ninjas tighten their grip on Florida’s narcotics trade, viciously annihilating anyone who dares move in on their turf. Multi-national martial arts rock band Dragon Sound have had enough, and embark on a roundhouse wreck-wave of crime-crushing justice. When not chasing beach bunnies or performing their hit song “Against the Ninja,” Mark (Tae Kwon Do master/inspirational speaker Y.K. Kim) and the boys are kicking and chopping at the drug world’s smelliest underbelly. It’ll take every ounce of their blood and courage, but Dragon Sound can’t stop until they’ve completely destroyed the dealers, the drunk bikers, the kill-crazy ninjas, the middle-aged thugs, the “stupid cocaine”…and the entire See the rest »

Oh The Humanity: Meat Loaf Rips Apart America The Beautiful

I don’t want to knock enthusiasm but what the hell happened to Meat Loaf at this Mitt Romney event? If I was a Romney fan I’d probably think Mr. Loaf was an elaborate, malicious, extremely random plant. But I’m not. Yet I still can’t can’t stop watching. Volume way up.

Face-Off: Recognize the ‘Guinness Black’ Guy?

Delicious Face-Off …

My only knowledge of Jack Huston is his Boardwalk Empire character’s war-torn face and compelling acting chops. The show makes you feel so much that you do forget he’s just a regular dude. Until you see him in the latest Guinness spot…

Bones Brigade: Autobiography Doc Trailer is Here. And it’s Rad.

Man, the artwork of VCJ and the guys of the Bones Brigade have a special place in my geeky heart. Junior High would not have been the same without them. This autobiography by Stacy Peralta looks like it’s giving ’em a fitting tribute, too. Screenings times are still rolling in so keep an eye on BonesBrigade.com. In the meantime, they’re making the classic skate film (and I say Film), Animal Chin, available as a free download at animalchin.com. He’s got his own milk carton!

Old Spice: Terry Crews Muscle Music will Flex Your Cortex

This wins the internet for the week. There’s even an interactive player you can use to record your own mix. Kinda like Ron Winter’s QWERTY drums on roids, juice, ludes and some sort of fish paralyzer. Thanks for the tip, Beau.

It’s like this every day in Russia. At least when they come to America they only cause carnage inside (e.g: Crazy Russian Lady Destroys Grocery Aisle). Thanks, Jacob.
