It's a real pity that The Queen Haters couldn't play the Platinum Jubilee.
Seattle grunge legends Mudhoney covered "I Hate the Bloody Queen," cementing it as a classic of Canadian Punk, on cover compilation OH CANADUH! 2 in 1998

In classic Grunge style, they slowed it to a dirge.
(Punk Rock and Comedy are the same thing, if you're doin' it right)

Por que Rick Moranis, ator de 'Os Caça-Fantasmas', parou de fazer filmes?
O ator e comediante #RickMoranis chegou a ser um dos mais bem pagos de Hollywood e tinha tudo para uma carreira de sucesso. Veja a matéria completa no portal.
Se falarmos da cultura pop dos anos 80 e 90, principalmente quando o assunto é filme, um rosto que com certeza é memorável é o do ator e comediante canadense Rick Moranis. Não tem como uma pessoa que cresceu nesse período não se lembrar da presença de Moranis nos filmes: Os Caça-Fantasmas (1984), Querida, Encolhi as Crianças (1989), Os Flintstones – O Filme (1994). O ator e comediante canadense…

I am heavily contemplating on buying myself a dvd player soon and buying all the DVDs for a ton of movies and tv shows I grew up watching cuz I miss the magic of dvds
#hear me out on this one okay. but the Barbie movies were magic on dvd back in the day#and I do wanna see if stores are still selling the old strawberry shortcake dvds before I go online for those#I wanna snort that nostalgia so bad#and of course I’ll need to get the dcau on dvd#like all of it cuz I’m so bored with the dccu since we don’t get as much new stuff#it’s always Batman or superman and love them but I’m kinda bored from always seeing a new bman or sups movie#Wonder Woman I wouldn’t mind a new actor for her but I know she’s not gonna be a muscle mommy which I’ll be sad about#give me a Wonder Woman that is built like rhea ripely god damnit#the flash is eh cuz I found out this whole time I’ve been watching the Wally west flash#but yeah Wally is who I want and then there’s the green lantern like dude is so cool iams all we have is the 1 from 2011 I think#sure I could watch some of the tv series they have but I have too many shows on my watch list it’s overwhelming at times so I skip over lots#tho I will have to pray like crazy cuz some of the things I know I want are probably gonna be expensive as fuck even as second hand#saw a class of the titans season 1 dvd going for $81 cad 💀💀💀#the world is not kind to those who don’t love the digital age#I prefers my dvds cuz I own it and no one can take it away from me unless they physically steal it#omg I’m turning into my grandma cuz she still had the vhs player with some tapes too#just wish she never donated the tapes for swan princess 1-3 and Anastasia and ferngully and basically all my faves that she owned#like Ngl a part of me wants to hit up value village just to see if maybe they’re still there or if I’ll find other copies of the same things#cuz a perk about cities with older people is that you get so much older tech and other items it’s insane

I came across this fan made documentary from 2021 on SCTV (Second City TV) that I wanted to pass along because it truly is a labor of love. Most of my childhood was the late 70s into the 1980s and one of the cultural products of my childhood was SCTV (along with Tom Baker as Doctor Who, Dr. Demento on the radio & television programs like Night Flight). What’s been crafted here is a history of SCTV told by the people who created it, in their own words, cobbled together from various sources. It’s surprisingly coherent and engaging and if you’re a fan of SCTV, it comes highly recommended.  Admittedly, this might only appeal to a limited number of you reading these words. SCTV? WTF is SCTV? First, SCTV was my first introduction to anything Canadian (the second being ‘You Can't Do That on Television‘ which basically copied the format of SCTV). Second, SCTV was also my introduction to a host of comedians when they were still young and relatively up and coming. The original cast of SCTV was John Candy, Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, Harold Ramis, and Dave Thomas. You might know some of those names now. Later cast included folk like Robin Duke (who was also on Saturday Night Live), Rick Moranis, & Martin Short. (Quick note: one of the sketches SCTV slapped together to fill up time was ‘Bob and Doug McKenzie’, characters who would become audience favorites and were given a spin-off movie in 1983 called ‘Strange Brew’.) Since I have you here, here’s a few additional items of interest that I recently absorbed into my brain through my ears and eyes: 1). Two different pieces from Defunctland, a youtube channel new to me, A) discussing and uncovering who created the Disney Channel’s four note theme that proved to be surprisingly engaging and unexpectedly poignant. B) This led me to watch another piece related to Disney from Defunctland on The Halyx, the “short-lived science fiction themed rock band developed by Disneyland Records that performed at Tomorrowland in Disneyland in 1981 at the Space Stage.” The band only got one season to exist and perform before the show was cancelled. I knew nothing about Halyx and didn’t think I would want to watch a long form piece on some passing cultural detritus from Disney (not being all that fond of Disney) Turns out, I did, in fact, want to watch a long form piece on some passing cultural detritus from Disney.  2) Another thing I didn’t think I would spend time consuming was from hbomberguy’s investigation into the “Roblox Oof“ sound. I have never spent a second playing Roblox and I have no idea why one would craft an almost two hour investigation into something so inconsequential. With that said, I watched the entire thing so I guess I have extra life to squander too. In retrospect, this Roblox piece has some relation to the above Defunctland episode on the 4 note Disney theme, namely artistic credit and artistic legacies. Having kept my attention and getting me to commit to a subject I had zero interest helps explain hbomberguy’s popularity. (I just saw that Brewis promoted the Defunctland Disney piece in twitter. Well.)  I don’t know people, this is just some of the random shit I’ve been digesting. Thanksgiving’s tomorrow. Distract yourself with some creativity and get yourselves through the holiday gauntlet.

Second City Firsts: Club Havana (BBC, 1975)
"When you have just arrived in a dangerous country like Birmingham, you got to examine all about you. You got to secure your rear. And you notice them carrying the bread, in their dirty hands and in the baby carriage!"
"It's a beautiful slum, like Kingston."
"What, sir? No. Kingston is blue and green! This is concrete and dogshit - and drizzle."
#second city firsts#club havana#single play#bbc#classic tv#barry reckord#pamela brighton#don warrington#mona hammond#julie walters#frank singuineau#alfred fagon#tara prem#most often referred to these days in terms of being the screen debut of national treasure julie walters#but that's a disservice to an urgent and challenging play that promotes black voices in an era which rarely did so on mainstream television#where SCF often concentrated (admirably) on emerging talents and new writers‚ Reckord was already a well established figure at this point#albeit with little success in television. as a stage writer‚ however‚ he'd been working since the mid 50s‚ often with his actor director#brother Lloyd. one significant success had been the Royal Court staging of Barry's play You in Your Small Corner‚ which granada had#adapted for tv in 1962 and which was long believed to feature the first interracial kiss on british television (it later emerged that the#earliest had in fact been in 1959 in play Hot Summer Night‚ tho interestingly it was Lloyd Reckord locking lips in both instances)#Reckord had also written a Play for Today in 72 but Club Havana was his third and final attempt at breaking into tv; he returned instead to#play writing and the stage for the rest of his life. as in Small Corner‚ this play concerns (although perhaps less centrally) an#interracial romance; it's tempting to look for elements of autobiography (Reckord was in a long and unconventional relationship with the#white novelist Diana Athill‚ and like his protagonist hailed from Kingston) but there's little to connect Walters' burnt out barmaid with#Athill's vibrant academic‚ nor in Don Warrington's teacherly ambitions (Reckord had been writing full time almost from his student days)#to the difficult relationship between a blinkered mother and naive son i can say less; regardless‚ Hammond gives a powerhouse performance#as she so often did. a challenging play as i said and comes with the caveat that the language used is often shocking to a modern audience#indeed I'm quite surprised at how much Reckord slipped past the bbc censors. but it feels genuine and human and it works#my mother caught some of this as i watched and did not enjoy: 'just a lot of shouting' was her summary. but hey sometimes that's life#and when a play works like real life it works well

i understand why having large-market cities out of the playoffs is bad for the nhl as a whole but i don’t get why they can’t lean into the successes of a smaller city in some sort of underdog story to get more people excited about hockey

Dinner time! His angel’s heart and some brains :)

also I wanted to draw sth else* but I got sidetracked by this idea. Like he would SO watch kids’ shows, right. And he would definitely follow the commands the shows give him, like in Dora. He sits too close to the tv bc his mom isn’t here to tell him what to do anymore
