Best of Alex Trebek

November 8, 2020 | jnettlebeck

We lost the legend Alex Trebek on Sunday, and we are all absolutely heart broken.

But as sad as we are, it’s only right to look back on all of the great times that Alex Trebek brought us all on Jeopardy.

Here’s to you Alex!

No one will ever be able to do it like he could.

November 8, 2020 | jnettlebeck

Did you miss SNL on Saturday?

You should go back and watch it because Dave Chappelle killed it at hosting.

He was so good that he had Pete Davidson spitting his teeth out!

You know it’s a good sketch when the people in it can’t stop laughing!

Man marries himself after heartbreak

November 8, 2020 | jnettlebeck

A Brazilian man was supposed to marry the love of his life, or so he thought, in October.

Turns out that they could not stand each other, so they called it quits. But instead of canceling a perfectly good wedding, this guy decided to marry himself!

“Essa será uma cerimônia um tanto diferente do que nós estamos acostumados a presenciar. Geralmente se espera encontrar aqui na frente um par. E aqui você está. Por ocupar esse lugar nada convencional, alguns podem achar tudo isso estranho ou até mesmo questionar a necessidade. Mas outras pessoas, talvez por serem mais sensíveis, ou mesmo por curiosidade, aproveitam um momento como esse para refletir e pensar sobre nosso próprio percurso. Em muitas culturas humanas, a pessoa, o herói da sua própria estória, precisa de um momento para se encontrar. Para os espartanos era chamado agoge. Os aborígenes australianos adotaram o termo inglês: walkabout, que significa, literalmente, vagar sem rumo até o momento de uma revelação. Fazer uma jornada. Então, essa cerimônia é na verdade, uma forma de expressão de duas necessidades humanas: o auto-conhecimento e a comunhão. Quando conversei com sua avó e tias, Diogo, elas me disseram que uma vez que você disse uma frase para elas que as marcou muito. Numa viagem, a sua tia, Simone, te agradeceu pelos momentos que você havia proporcionada à família em uma viagem e você respondeu: “Tia, a felicidade só é real quando compartilhada”. A descrição dessa cena também me marcou. Porque essa frase que você disse, Diogo, foi citado num livro e filme que descrevem uma jornada solitária de um jovem em busca do auto- conhecimento. Ao se lançar no mundo, abandonando tudo pra entender o que seria de fato essencial ao ser humano, a conclusão que aquele jovem chega é essa: “A felicidade só é real quando compartilhada”. Sozinhos somos muito menos do que podemos ser. Precisamos das pessoas certas do nosso lado. E as pessoas certas não são aquelas que nos completam, a nossa outra metade. As pessoas certas são aquelas que nos amam tanto que nos permitem que nós nos amemos. Ao nosso lado, faz bem aquela pessoa saudável. Que sabe se cuidar, que se conhece, que não despeja em nós suas frustações, suas expectativas. É isso que estamos celebrando hoje: O seu amor-próprio. Seu caminho e aprendizado até aqui. Seu encontro consigo mesmo. Hoje vamos celebrar como todo casamento deveria começar: pela promessa de amar, cuidar e respeitar a si próprio”

A mim, Eu acredito que tudo seja vaidade. Tudo é efêmero e só o desconhecido, que procuro conhecer, me traz a paz em saber que Ele é eterno, Deus. E o que me liga a Deus se não a manifestação do amor? Por isso eu me desapego para ir ao encontro do criador. Eu me desapego de uma ilusão de felicidade, onde 1 + 1 = 1. Eu me desapego da ostentação, eu me desapego do orgulho e eu me entrego à humildade. Eu tenho a mim o que Nietzche afirma sobre “alegria trágica”, como aquele que celebra a vida porque ela é frágil, finita e sem sentido, ou seja, ser feliz, perdoar, acreditar, amar é uma escolha, e a nossa vida é feita de nossas escolhas, simples. Mas, Diogo, se a vida é sem sentido, qual seria o sentido disso tudo? Viver é perder-se. É preciso ter coragem para descobrir seu sentido. É preciso beber da vida para saber seu gosto. É preciso entregar as fichas para alguém e ser traído para saber o valor das suas fichas. A gente cresce na experiência, e quando me perguntares por que tatuei “pain” em meu braço, é para lembrar de que a evolução, infelizmente, vem com dor e choro. Chega um momento em nossa vida que para continuarmos é necessário largar nossos hábitos, vícios, lembranças e traumas para poder seguir adiante. E este ato simbólico de casar comigo mesmo é o meu ponto mais alto de expressão ao meu amor próprio. Eu aprendi que tenho o meu valor e que eu não preciso ser amado por ninguém para me sentir bem. E vou além: eu não preciso mudar minha personalidade ou o meu jeitinho de ser para que alguém possa ficar comigo. Eu descobri o meu valor e eu amo quem eu sou, eu amo a minha história, de onde eu vim, pelo o que passei, e tenho foco aonde eu quero chegar. E para finalizar, eu afirmo o meu maior desejo: que eu nunca deixe de acreditar no amor. Que eu perca a razão, que eu perca a cabeça, mas que eu não perca o amor. “É preciso amar as pessoas como se não houvesse amanhã”, sim, hoje está sendo um dos dias mais felizes da minha vida, pois eu estou com as pessoas que mais amo nessa vida, celebrando o que poderia ser uma tragédia, mas fiz uma comédia 🖤

I’m pro this. There is no one else you know better, you can always rely on yourself, and you can’t leave yourself!

More people should consider marrying themselves.

Watch Foo Fighters debut new song ‘Shame Shame’ on ‘SNL’

November 8, 2020 | Kevin

As we have been expecting for a few days now since we became aware of the gorilla marketing in LA, the Foo Fighters debuted a brand new song on last night’s momentous Saturday Night Live on NBC. The track is called ‘Shame Shame’ and it has some very groove-oriented parts at a slower yet methodical pace. As  for the lyrics, I can interpret as an inner-dialogue of longing for someone or something.

The Foos confirmed through this big performance it is the first single from their upcoming new album, ‘Medicine At Midnight’ which comes out February 5th. You can stream the SNL performance and the album version here. In the clip above, Dave Grohl shares in the video clip above that the new album will have a very fun vibe to it because they had so much fun recording it.

Here is the audio version that was released today.

In an emotional second performance on SNL last night, this band reminded you again why they are just so special with ‘Times Like These’ It featured an opening build with an undercurrent of an organ from Rami Jaffee simmered underneath Grohl with those raise-the-hair-on-your-arms lyrics. The simplicity of this reinvented take on this modern classic is just wonderful. The whole song is about reinvention and re-discovering who you are, and the song feels really exciting here.

Watch new ‘LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special’ Trailer

November 6, 2020 | Kevin

Youtube movie guru Chris Stuckman reviews it all with original footage in his his ‘Hilarocity’ series. Beware some NSFW language in the video above. 

We are barely past Halloween and the Christmas holiday media blitz has already started. One of the worst things ever in holiday movie or TV special history, has to be the widely-despised ‘Star Wars Holiday Special’ from 1980. It is laughably bad and as you can see in these review shows covering it on YouTube, you will laugh at it. Now enter the new ‘Lego Star Wars Holiday Special’ which based on this trailer looks to be funny on purpose and will have same comedic vibes of the recent Lego Batman movies.

But back to that TV special from back in the day….

It is without a shadow of a doubt, the worst thing to ever have the ‘Star Wars’ name attached to it. No matter what your opinion may be on the sci-fi blockbuster film series which has spawned billions in merchandise and spin-off content but among those faithful to the Force, they all know this thing is the worst. Most SW fans would rather be thrown into the Sarlacc pit if it meant they could avoid a repeat viewing of this ‘show’. George Lucas himself has said publicly that he wished this special was never made or released to the public.

The ‘Star Wars Holiday Special’ aired only once on CBS in November 1978 on the wave of popularity after the first film, and it featured the major stars of the original trilogy including Harrison Ford, Mark Hammil, and Carrie Fisher. It doesn’t appear like these actors are excited to be there, based on their on-screen performances. Fisher sings a song that is dreadfully awkward. Ford performs like he’s waiting in a dentist’s office. And Hammil has a scene where he speaks directly into the camera with his face looking like a Ken doll for some reason.

Milwaukee’s favorite movie maniacs Red Letter Media roasted the SW Holiday Special in this Best of the Worst episode. NSFW language!

And then a parade of C-listers from the late 70’s like Art Carney, Bea Arthur, Jefferson Starship, and Harvey Corman. The real meat of this dumpster fire on television is performed by Wookies. Yep, Chewbaca’s family is the focus of this special while they just speak to each other in an unintelligible language without subtitles. They then pitched to various segments that all involve someone looking at a screen, so a lot of people basically Skype with each other in costumes. 

The overall story is pretty thin as Chewbacca is trying to make it back to his home planet for outer-space Chrismtas which is called “Life Day” with the Empire chasing after Han Solo and him in the Millennium Falcon. Then from there, it’s just this all-over-the-place mash-up of weird cameo scenes, spliced-in footage from the actual movie, cringe-worthy comedy, and songs that sound like they were not good enough for a way-off-Broadway musical. The only worthwhile piece from this might be the first appearance of Boba Fett, the bounty hunter who helped bring in Han Solo in the films and has grown to have his own dedicated fan base within the SW universe. He appears in a brief animated segment.

If you want to punish yourself with this special, beware.,,,, watch it here

 

 

Check out this dumpster fire

November 5, 2020 | jnettlebeck

What a terribly smelly accident.

A garbage truck caught fire in Atlanta!

I’ve heard of dumpster fires but I don’t know if I’ve ever heard about a garbage truck fire.

That street is probably going to smell for the next three months!

There’s a New Whiskey That Tastes Like Deer

November 5, 2020 | Tim Virgin

If swigging regular whiskey wasn’t MANLY enough for you, now there’s this . . .

 

A distillery in New Hampshire is releasing a new whiskey later this month that tastes like DEER.  Basically, they added venison as they were aging the whiskey to give it a, quote, “savory complement.

 

They’re also releasing a brandy in December that’s flavored with the CORPSE FLOWER . . . which is one of the worst smelling flowers in the world.  They say it adds, quote, “death and decay to the floral notes of the brandy.”  Delicious?

 

(Careful!)  But if you can’t wait for deer whiskey out next week or corpse flower brandy next month, they already have one other questionable product for sale:  A whiskey flavored with castoreum, which are secretions from beaver anuses.  Yep.

 

Check out their website TamworthDistilling.com if you want to find out more about ordering the liquors once they come out.  Seems like the perfect holiday gift for that person in your life who loves interesting alcohol and you also secretly kinda hate.

Foo Fighters teasing ‘X’, Confirmed For SNL with Dave Chapelle

November 5, 2020 | Kevin

Dave Grohl and the crew, could be teasing a new album based on signage that fans have shared online in and around the Los Angeles area. This would be the Foos 10th album so that might explain the “x” but we do not know much more thant that. You can check out the teases have been popping up that also include images of a burning coffen down below. You can see also quick teaser videos from the band themselves with the hashtag “lpx”.

As if that was not enough good news from the Foo Fighters, we got confirmation the alternative band of bands will be performing this weekend on NBC’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ with comedy legend Dave Chaepelle hosting. It will be interesting if we see the band use this national TV opportunity to play a new song possibly. Two great Daves on one show together, 2020 has some bright spots I guess.
