We’ve been really slow today and I apologize for that. Us DAPS kids have been holding secret meetings where we discuss how best to get our dirty paws on your hard earned clams.
That being said, we don’t want that to take away from the internets pleasure you get from us every day, so I’m going to leave for you a real treat. Here, in it’s entirety, is the Pauly Shore Classic “Bio Dome” because really it’s pretty much the same thing as what we would post anyway.
The rules are pretty simple: Allstar Products Group, the maker of Snuggie, is inviting people to enter the Snuggie Choice Film Awards via SnuggieFanClub.com. All you have to do is create your own tribute, parody, song etc. — no longer than three minutes — and submit it to the webpage above. The contest ends on September 1 at midnight, at which point six finalists will be chosen by Snuggie fans. The finalists will be flown to New York in October. Awards include a $5,000 grand prize and $2,500 for second and third place, Snuggies (natch), and the chance to appear in future commercials.
Here’s my idea (not my real idea, I’d be stupid to give that away).
Scene opens in my living room, I am sitting at my computer (no shirt, mad muscles), blogging like a champion. I’m blogging so much that sweat begins pouring down my face, so I decide to turn the air conditioner on so I can continue being a hero to dozens of millions of readers. Just then, as my body temperature cools, my girlfriend (played by Tea Leone circa 1997) walks into the room, wearing a sexy lingerie set, and says,
“It’s so cold in here Carlo“.
We then get an extreme closeup of her hard, hard nipples (which are exposed because her bra is pulled under her breasts). I say,
“Chillax baby, I need to cool down, I’m gonna overheat from all this mega-blogging that I’m doing. Here, try this on.”
I hand her a Leopard Print Snuggie and she seductively puts it on.
“This is warm, and fashionable!” she says, walking over to me with a distinct and recognizable purpose. “Make ravenous and or violent fuck to me you giant penised man.”
“I due time bitch,” I reply “I’ve got posts to write at the moment.“
What do you say when someone suggests that you remake the 1990’s cult classic ‘Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead’? Obviously a heartfelt “I’m Right On Top of That Rose!”
If you don’t remember this movie, i need to you quietly get up and leave my fucking website… either that or watch the trailer and then go “ohhhh that one”
Now that we’re all up to speed, let’s get to the bottom of this mess:
As I predicted earlier today based on the success of Karate Kid, 80s remakes of family films are likely to be a big upcoming trend. Adults aren’t overall that inclined to see a remake of one of their favorite adult movies, while the brand identity associated with most 80’s movies doesn’t extend heavily to the younger generation. However, the line where demographics meets massive profitability seems to be where adults can introduce that younger generation to new iteration of their favorite films growing up. It’s called the family outing, folks. And Hollywood studios love family outings — that’s four prices of admission instead of two for couples and one for the lonely geeks (see: Kick Ass).
Add Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter is Dead to the pile of 80s remakes now in development. It’s kind of the perfect movie to remake, too. It was fun movie for my generation, one that I have fond memories of, but I don’t feel violated by a remake and understand that the original wasn’t very good in the first place, so it’s difficult to mess it up too terribly. The best part of Don’t Tell Mom these days, in fact, is watching it again to see the very early (and cheesy) work of David Duchovny and Josh Charles. (Via Pajiba.com)
Not to be that kid in class who corrected his classmates like a little smart ass, but Don’t Tell Mom was released in 1991… Just sayin.
Anyways, I’m a little bit upset about the idea of remaking this film. Even though I consider DTMTBD a personal childhood favorite, that’s not why I don’t want to see it remade. Much simpler than that, I’m just so tired of remakes in general. Can I get an amen? Yeah I know, it’s a pretty common stance these days to want original film, but that’s the problem. These remakes keep making big bank at the box office which means that morons are still going to the movie theater to watch them!
If you’re one of those people who complain about a lack of originality in hollywood, might i propose a solution? Ok cool…. Continue reading this post →
This morning we’re working on something really special for you. While we finish cooking, I’m gonna take you back to the mid to late 70s via The Talking Heads.
Mornin’.. Does anyone else think this would be a good song for Weird Al to parody about the movie Signs? You know, that one with Mel Gibson and Joaquin Pheonix and aliens and shit? Yeah, it would be a really late parody, but still I think that it would be pretty fun.
It’s day two of letting the fans of Awesomeness pick our daily morning music selections, this morning we’re letting Avery Veresh choose the music that sets the tone for our day.
Avery asked to hear some Sum 41, specifically pieces. We probably would have picked “Dave’s Possessed Hair” but you’re the bossman Avery.
Here’s what you missed on Jane Blow’s Website this week, in case your 20something year old living at home ass was grounded for smoking the reefer in your house on 4/20 and mommy wouldn’t let you use the computer.
And! I’ve decided to move to Polynesia, take the road less traveled, with my buddy who is in his 30’s with the reaction time of a high-schooler and I’m bringing Wet and Topco with me!
I remember first hearing Mmmbop back in 1997. It was catchy cheesy pop whose chorus was tattooed onto my brain for the subsequent 4 years. I also remember Zac Hanson looking like an annoying little brat whom i kind of wanted to punch in the face (mostly out of jealousy… and as a note i’m much more of a pacifist these days) Those are pretty much the only things i can think of when I hear the name hanson. And when I hear the name Hanson, that’s pretty much the only time I’m thinking about Hanson.
So, yeah that Hanson is back and they’re re-creating a scene from classic film “The Blues Brothers” They’ve obviously learned a thing or two about music, because.. ya know, living in the industry for 10+ years will do that for anyone.
I’m a litte surprised I don’t hate it, then again the boys are now older, have gotten laid and stuff so they’re less tool-y. I’m gonna call it significantly less annoying. However, I’m not conceding on my Zach looking like an annoying brat point, he still does. I might just get drunk enough to catch them at this year’s Bamboozle festival in New Jersey. Maybe.
My question is; What do you guys think of the new sound from the Hanson kids?
Editor’s Note: LOL At Weird Al playing the tambourine
