‘Animaniacs’ set to to return

May 30, 2017 | Kevin

One of the greatest cartoons of the 90’s is about to once again be zany to the max as today IndieWire reports ‘Animaniacs’ is due for a return.The show was a spin off of another animated gem ‘Tiny Toons’, ran for five seasons between 1993 and 1998. It also helped the offbeat show was produced by Hollywood titan Steven Speilberg. For all the retro reboots in entertainment that are popping up nowadays, this one seems to be the most alluring return since ‘Animaniacs’ was such a different show especially for the children’s cartoon genre. It played like a sketch comedy show within the vessel of animated show with Speilberg’s touch for the grandiose and movie-scale music.

The rejuvenated love for the Warner Bros Yako, Wakko, and the Warner Sister, Dot was likely sparked when the show was added to Netflix last year. It reminded many how the show though directed to children, was genuinely a trans-generational exception playing the jokes up to the any viewer. Currently there is no announced network or streaming platform for the potential new episodes.

Channel Frederator goes deep into the show’s production history, how the  show stood out, and unique trivia.

Eddie Vedder Grieves Through Music in First Show After Cornell’s Death

May 29, 2017 | Eric

I don’t know how else to put it, but “silently” paying tribute to the late singer of Soundgarden is how Eddie Vedder honored his friend.  Clearly it wasn’t silent.

During a solo show Saturday night in Amsterdam, Vedder never addressed Chris Cornell’s death directly.  But according to a fan in attendance, “the show was pretty much about Chris without directly mentioning him.”

Here’s captured video and the setlist, thanks to Consequence of Sound.

SETLIST:

Long Road (Pearl Jam song)
Trouble (Cat Stevens cover)
Sometimes (Pearl Jam song)
Can’t Keep (Pearl Jam song)

Tiger Woods Arrested On DUI Charge

May 29, 2017 | Eric

It’s been a rough few years for Tiger Woods, what with the philandering, breaking up with an Olympic athlete, and the complete and total lack of golf.

It was also a really rough morning today for the pro golfer, who was arrested and booked at 7:18 this morning for driving under the influence.

 

Deadspin has got a running article on this.  They’ll keep you posted.  Also, no one ever wins the mugshot game.  EVER.  — [eric]

‘Guardians of the Galaxy : Mission Breakout!’ Disneyland ride sneak peek

May 29, 2017 | Kevin

Disney’s first ever Marvel theme park ride in America ‘Guardians of the Galaxy : Mission Breakout’ opened this past weekend at Disneyland’s California Adeventure with much fanfare and high demand. Thanks to Youtube channel ThemeParkHD we have this first-hand look at the actually ride with the immersive holding area featuring outer-space creatures, appearances by the Gauridan characters,a rocking soundtrack, and an engaging story to the whole experience. It’s neat to see an animatronic Rocket Racoon spitting off wise-cracks. The whole ride looks really fun with well-crafted show of the fun of the ‘Guardians’ movies. Another fascinating part is that parts of the ride are relatively different during each individual romp making it more attractive to get back in line for another go.

As for the lines for the ride, that’s probably the only negative part to share.  According to Gizmodo and many posts on social media by Disneyland guests, the line for ‘Mission Breakout’ had an estimated wait of seven hours without a fast pass. The fast pass line was not significantly better with a reported wait time of five hours on Saturday.

The new ride has angered some Disney fanatics who were not fond of the new Marvel themed ride replacing the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror that stood in the same structure until recently. Still it seems like the Marvel Cinematic Universe under the ownership of Disney was bound to get some theme park love, and this looks like a great start. ‘Gaurdians’ director James Gunn  who contributed to the ride’s development,  had a very fun time at the ride’s premiere based on his Facebook post about it.

Inside the Magic conducted an interview with Disneyland imagineer Joe Rohde who gave insight what went into creating the ride and adapting the story for a theme park attraction.

May 28, 2017 | Eric

Russell first tipped you off to a small bar show the Foo Fighters played Friday night in Napa Valley, CA before they headline the Bottlerock Festival tonight (Sunday, May 28th).  You can see their performance of “Times Like These” in the link.  That’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to see a band like that in a intimate venue.  Kinda like our Lounge.

Found a bonus for you as social media continues to churn out what was captured.  Check out this Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers classic, “Breakdown”:

Conan O’Brien is no match for Wonder Woman

May 27, 2017 | Kevin

Wonder Woman kicks into movie theaters, so Conan O’Brien thinks he can kick…but he can barely get his foot up without cracking a joke. Coco’s best comedy comes from him riffing outside of the studio and this sketch is no different, as he learns combat skills from Amazonian superhero herself Gal Gadot. The fake muscle suit puts it over the moon too.

‘Wonder Woman’ comes out June 2nd.

Here is look at early reviews of the anticipated DCU movie.

Cars stuck in wet cement on Southport Avenue

May 27, 2017 | Kevin

Summer in Chicago may not feel like it’s here just yet, but when it’s close to summer, it’s really just construction season. These traffic-creating projects are popping up all around the city and the suburbs, and a project on Southport Avenue on the Northside has put some not-to-patient people in an unfortunate situation. The pics made their way around Twitter courtesy of the blog Southport Corridor   show some sad drivers who put their cars two tires deep into wet cement. I mean I would understand if they pulled over and just wrote their name in the wet cement so people remember them but now these pics are on the internet forever. That is just as a permanent as writing your name in cement but it’s not nearly as fun.

This particular construction project on Souhtport between Belmont and Addison has been extended to the end of June. DNAInfo has more. 

‘Price is Right’ Supefan wins our heart and wins big

May 27, 2017 | Kevin

‘The Price is Right’ is one of the best game shows of all time, and it’s still got that instant winner glory but when it’s clear a superfan of the show gets to be on the show….and win, well that’s awesome. It all went down big with a contestant named Ryan who made it clear he’s been watching the show his whole life as he keeps repeating “YEAH!” and “Oh my god!” as he miraculously  got called up to play and then proceeded to win a near maximum amount of $31,000 just a few minutes later. The Penn State student scored the best record on the game show’s classic Plinko challenge. You can not help but root for him during the entire video, it’s like there is Ryan in all of us up there in the game of life.

Custom Drum Kit of Pots & Pans + World-Famous Drummers

May 26, 2017 | Marconi🍕

(from blog.williams-sonoma.com)

Last year, drummers Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters appeared on BottleRock’s Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage alongside chef Michael Voltaggio in a demo called “Drummers from Another Mother.” When Smith and Hawkins arrived on stage they were surprised to find custom replicas of their own drum kits—created entirely out of pots and pans. They immediately recognized their places on stage, sat down, and began an epic cookware “drum off.” The crowd went wild as the two legendary drummers played and, eventually, as they threw and kicked their drumsets around stage in a rockstar-worthy grand finale.

No fair!! I thought I was the king of kitchen drumming!! Thanks a lot Taylor Hawkins, Tre Cool and Chad Smith. Just weren’t happy enough being amazing rock stars, had to be incredible at kitchen drumming too didn’t you!?!!
