Sunday Cinema – “Meatloaf: To Hell and Back”

For October’s “Sunday Cinema” we thought we would look at some obscure movies starring some of the pillars of rock music.

Meat Loaf himself was opposed to this VH1 biography being made until after watching the scene showing Meat Loaf being told he was a #1 hit. His daughter, Amanda Aday, actually has a small part in the movie as a grocery clerk. The actor playing Meat may look familiar, he played Warren in the movie “There’s Something About Mary” and more recently Hugo Root in the AMC series “Preacher”.

Sunday Cinema – “Blank Generation”

For October’s “Sunday Cinema” we thought we would look at some obscure movies starring some of the pillars of rock music.

If you’re into late 1970’s/early 1980’s American punk rock, you might know Richard Hell and the Voidoids (“Love Comes in Spurts” anyone?). This film by Ulli Lommel follows a French journalist as she records the life of rock star Billy. She must make a decision, does she stay with the volatile Billy or go back to her former lover – a journalist on the hunt for Andy Warhol in NYC.

A crapfest of a movie but shows the grit and grime of NYC at the time.

B*tch Set Me Up

B*tch Set Me Up

Rules for thee, not for me” is apparently the modus operandi for government officials (on both sides of the aisle)…

“Homefield Advantage” is a true concept (truer than you might think…)

You can thank NFL Films for dubbing Dallas as “America’s Team“…

Although this isn’t the Rod Tidwell carpet commercial, this one was originally shown after the movie credits (supposed to be a Reebok commercial)…

Here are the latest salaries for MLB players…

Nothing like your woman yelling at your boss (especially when you are a major NFL marquee player)…

Sunday Cinema – “200 Motels”

For October’s “Sunday Cinema” we thought we would look at some obscure movies starring some of the pillars of rock music.

Frank Zappa has been a influence on modern rock through his avant-garde music and stage presence. From his first appearance on the Steve Allen show playing music on a bicycle (!) to writing a parody song that exposed a whole new teen language (“Valley Girl”), Frank has always bucked the norm. In the movie, “200 Motels”, he tells the tale of what it’s like to tour with the Mothers of Invention. Today’s entry for Sunday Cinema delves into the movie with the 1988 release of a documentary of the movie entitled, “The True Story of 200 Motels” with behind-the-scenes action of the making of the film.

Take the Ticket

Take the ticket

Matty was a part of Toastmasters International for many years, even winning several local speech competitions (he has trophies to prove it). Great group for practicing in front of an audience & learning how to speak without using filler words as well…

Fat Guy Across America started out with a mission – to lose weight & get healthy, get his wife back, & become an inspiration. Until the money started rolling in. He was on Dr. Phil not once but twice, more recently showing off his almost 700lb frame

There are books, YouTube videos, & articles on how to talk your way out of a ticket. Just take the ticket…

Even if you don’t like him – respect the office, remember what Major Winters said

Several videos surfaced showing what transpired before the tragic shooting of Jacob Blake…

Sunday Cinema – “Unmade Beds”

For October’s “Sunday Cinema” we thought we would look at some obscure movies starring some of the pillars of rock music.

“Unmade Beds” is a 1976 French film about a photographer living in NYC to capture the essence of the “New Wave” movement of the mid-1970’s. He meets lots of interesting people including Blondie, a New Wave band with Debbie Harry as the lead singer. This is Harry’s first credited film role.
