T.V. : Happy Days - the Amazing Randi

hey it's the magician the fantastic Fonzi!

corny retro fun
The Amazing Randi appears on this episode of Happy Days
22+ minutes - avi - 320x240 - 96mbs
download

OK the real reason I'm posting this is because of the guest star - Randi
If you don't know James 'amazing' Randi is a magician and allot more. He's basically been a proffesional debunker for over 30 years - everything from spoon bending to psychic surgery. He tackles them all in a scientific and professional manner. (He is even offering $1 million dollars to anyone who can proove psychic abilities - no lie!) He is pretty much taking up where Houdini left off (and where Penn and Teller is starting to take over.)

how legit is randi? damn legit!
The James Randi Educational Foundation is a non-profit learning resource aimed at promoting critical thinking everywhere.

Cartoon: Little Lambkins - 1940

The 31st in Fleischer Studios' Color Classics cartoon series.

This one is a little weird -- Little Lambkins is a toddler who lives in the country and enjoys hanging out with his animal pals. When his parents decide to move into more modern digs in town, Lambkins sabotages the electric washer + wringer, ironing robots, and other conveniences, resulting in property damage and potentially fatal situations for his parents. They become disillusioned with the new house, move back into the old one, and Lambkins lives happily ever after. I don't know what the Fleischers were thinking when they came up with this plot!

Music blog - Hair Metal , Glam Rock

If you can't tell by now my music interests are varied to say the least. Well I found a another blog with yet another genre theme.
This time it's Rock and Roll with a 80s edge (for the most part 80s) those old Big Hair rockers. Find full albums, lyrics and info from Bands like : Poison, Kiss, Def Leopard, Accept, Judas Priest, Lita Ford, Motley Crue, quiet Riot, Warrant, Vinnie Vincent and more. This site has enough English to make it accessible and easy to find stuff but not everything is English.

MOVIE: Gulliver's Travels (1939)

The Amazing Characters in Jonathan Swift's Immortal Fantasy Come To Life !

The Fleischer Brothers in Florida wanted to establish an East Coast "Disney" Studio, so they turned out some fine shorts and even some cartoon-features ..Production and artwork at times, were very-very good. Though their best efforts may have been the 4O's Superman color cartoons, many fans believe"Gulliver" an excellent effort to try and match "Snow White"...and as a new cartoon-factory ..they almost did it with this feature. It had some memorable moments to see and songs to hum. This is a real Favorite ...FOR MANY....! (IMDB)
