The Goon Show – Not Quite Establishment

Friday, April 6th, 2007

The Goon Show was sometimes cited as very entertaining without having to resort to sexual innuendo like a lot of modern comedy… but it’s all in the mind of the listener:

Reputedly due to his dislike of rules imposed by the establishment, Milligan spent a lot of time working allusions to rude and/or sexual barrack room jokes into his scripts. These were instantly recognised by his peers and went completely over the heads of the BBC and other innocent listeners. …..read more at The Goon Show – Not Quite Establishment

Tv shows online

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

Most people who have been using the Internet for a while have already heard of different file-sharing venues and peer-to-peer (P2P) downloading sites where you can get virtually any MP3 or audio file that you want. The fact that these music downloads are available is pretty common knowledge. What is perhaps less commonly known, however, is the fact that you can also find a significant number of TV shows online as well. Downloading television programs is basically the same as downloading other kinds of files. You first need to find a website that contains links to TV shows online, and then you have to make sure that you have some kind of file-sharing client that will allow you to access the files (often called “torrents” after the name of one of the most popular clients out there).

Do you have a favorite celebrity?

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

Do you have a favorite celebrity?  Alec Baldwin is a famous America actor, producer, and director.  He is the oldest and most famous of the ‘Baldwin brothers’, his younger brothers Daniel, Stephen, and William are all well known actors as well.  Okay, so the most obvious choice is the classic Marilyn Monroe picture where she is standing over the subway grate blowing cool air up her sexy dress on a hot city day—in the movie, The Seven Year Itch.  My friend has a Britney Spears poster in his bedroom.  In this poster, she is wearing a cap, doing a semi-wink at her viewer, has a crop top on to expose or reveal her naval piercing, and is quite voluptuous for the rails that usually top the fashion and celebrity charts.�

V-Chip

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

The V-Chip, short for Violence Chip, is a device that can be used to filter what television programs are accessible in your home. This device was developed in Canada, but it is used mainly in the United States by parents who want to be able to control what their children are viewing on TV. With more and more children having TV’s in their rooms as well as being home alone while both parents work, there are concerns over what a child has access to. Since you don’t want to remove the entire cable set up from your home, the V-Chip is a great alternative.

All television sets that have been manufactured since 1998 have the V-Chip ability programmed into them as established by the Federal Trade Commission (FCC). The goal is to promote safety for our children by educating parents about their options.

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

Westerns used to be staple fare on TV in past decades, before they fell out of favor but a western series with a difference revived the genre when Dr Quinn Medicine Woman ran from 1993-1998.

Entertainment Jobs

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

I felt bad for a buddy of mine who pursued an entertainment job diligently, but came up with nothing. He swears it’s his image. He looks nothing like the typical handsome leading man. To be completely frank, this will hurt anyone searching for an entertainment job. Well, if it’s in acting anyway. Hollywood is always searching for the next talented pretty face. If you’re not up-to-par in the image category, you’ve got a major strike against you.

Home Theater System – Fun And Comfort At Home

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

Of course, not everyone plans to sell their homes but it’s nice to know that you investment in a home theater system will help increase the value of your house.

Lookalikes

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

In today’s day and age there are tons of people who want to look like celebrities. Not only do these people decide to dress and act like their favorite celebrity, but of course they want to look the same way as well. These lookalikes are not uncommon, and you have probably seen them on television at least once or twice. In fact, there have been several television programs dedicated to celebrity lookalikes.  It is quite interesting to see how so many people can make themselves look like another person.

If you want to be a celebrity lookalike you are going to have to put in a lot of work and in many cases a lot of money as well. The first step that you will have to take is learning everything about the celebrity who you are interested in. Take notes on how they dress, how they act, and of course what they look like. When considering physical features you should look at every last detail from facial features down to the feet. After all, the more detail that you can copy the more you will look like your favorite celebrity.

There are two types of lookalikes in the world today. There are the people who naturally look like celebrities and only do a bit of work to cap things off, and then there are those people who work on their body in order to achieve the results they are after. This means that they will eat less if they have to, and even get plastic surgery if it is a must. While there is nothing wrong with this, make sure that you know what you are doing before you get in too deep. In other words, do you want to be a celebrity lookalike for the rest of your life?

Believe it or not there are lookalikes agencies that are becoming quite popular.  These agencies specialize in finding celebrity lookalikes, and then booking them on jobs that suits their needs. This may not seem like a very big industry, but it is actually picking up a lot of steam. This all goes back to the sheer volume of people who are obsessed with celebrities and what they are doing on a daily basis.  

If you think that you look like a certain celebrity it may be in your best interest to get in touch with a lookalike agency. They will be able to give you an honest assessment, and if good enough you may be able to begin booking jobs.  Many people work very hard to tweak their look so that they can become one of the featured lookalikes at an agency.

With so many people interested in the way that celebrities look, it is easy to see why so many lookalikes are popping up all over the world.  As more and more lookalike agencies are established, this industry is only going to get stronger. In turn this will lead to a lot of newcomers trying their hand as a celebrity lookalike.

What Is HDTV?

Monday, January 8th, 2007

But with new technology comes confusion. To understand this new format fully read this article on What Is HDTV?

The Pros and Cons of HD Plasma TV

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

HD Plasma TV is best known for its advanced picture quality coalesced with its hefty and thin screen sizes.

Are You Ready For HDTV?

Saturday, December 16th, 2006

Currently, you can view pretty much all television programming with analog TV sets, but the FCC has made it necessary for all television broadcasting companies to switch over to being able to send their TV signals in HDTV format by 2007, and that is not very far away. Once you view television programming with the combined technologies of HDTV and a LCD monitor, you will wonder how you managed without it all this time. Broadcasts made in HDTV however can reach up to 1080p, which is a standard where 1080 lines of information are shown on the screen and they are all shown together in a progressive scan instead of interlaced. On a plasma screen the calculation is different and there are just over 1,000 lines and nearly the same number of pixels. With a better knowledge of the CRT technology, LCD Screens, Plasma HDTV, and projectors you can make a better decision on what type of big screen TV you want to have.

TV’s Craig Fergusan is a guilty pleasure!

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006

Are you a fan of of Late Night tv’s Craig Fergusan??? I am!

Craig Fergusan has this fiery spirit and gung ho attitude that once you get used to his personality, his performance rises above the rest and puts this man right up there in brilliance aside great comedic minds and the other great comedians I admire.

Craig Fergusan reminds me of brilliant people like Bill Maher, George Carlin, Ali G (Sascha Cohen) ,Conan, Billy Crystal, Dana Carvey and Jim Carrey.

Funny Peculiar, Or Funny Funny? Videos To Have You Gasping On The Couch

Monday, November 20th, 2006

You know, I have found that what I consider funny videos today are not what I would have appreciated as funny ten years ago. I just found new movies to laugh out loud at recently that back then I might have found amusing or worth a chuckle. Age is not the factor I point to here in deciding what is funny. What is funny is subjective, and depends upon the mindset, upbringing, and overall experiences of each group or individual, so how about we consider a variety of funny videos in hopes that each of us will agree with at least one offering on the funny videos list?

David Blaine – The Illusionist?

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

Oddly, David Blaine continues to be described as “illusionist David Blaine” in the press, though, of course, his tricks are entirely illusion-free. I’m certainly not the first ones to point out that the feats of “magician” David Blaine have nothing to do with magic (for the most part). Most of his specials centers on his Houdini like stunts… hence he has been called “the hip-hop Houdini,” “the Michael Jordan of magic,” and “the master mystifier”. Say what you will about Blaine’s unique brand of magic but he always follows through and does exactly what he says he’s going to.

The Latest Movies – Have You Got Your Tickets?

An article about the latest movies   by Bob Renner

How many of the latest movies are 50 percent CG? Yes, I’m talking about computer graphics. This is one of the wonderful aspects of film now-a-days. Not because it requires less of the actors or film crew, but because it allows us to believe. Everything looks so real that we forget we are watching a fantasy world. That’s truly a great aspect of film. You can get lost in it for a while. More recently I watched the movie, Silent Hill, and it did a fabulous job with special effects. I don’t know how they would have made the film without them. On a different note, the cool thing about going to the movie theater these days is the convenience.

The Addams Family

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

Charles Addams created a cartoon for the New Yorker, which ran in the 1930s and was very popular. He didn’t know that it would be adapted for a TV series, three movies and two animated series. His creation was The Addams Family, an eccentric bunch of macabre looking freaks. Despite their appearance, they were a generous, kind family and devoted to each other. They were blissfully unaware that their strange behavior caused terror and bewilderment amongst the neighbors. The ordinary world around them however, seemed bizarre to their freak sensibilities.

42-inch Plasma TVs – All The Big Action You Can Handle

Monday, October 16th, 2006

My 42-inch plasma TV is practically the best that money can buy. I use my 42-inch plasma TV to watch everything, including football games, live war coverage on CNN, the 6 o’clock news, and anything else that you can think of.

Do you love movies?

Oh come on, we all love that escapism we get when delving into a great film. It’s like we can actually leave our mundane lives for a couple hours and live vicariously through some hero or villain. Whether we know we’re doing it or not is irrelevant. But this is how movies work, folks.

When you sit down and become engrossed in a film, you typically relate to one or more characters in the film, and on some level, live through their actions until the film ends. You can feel yourself rooting for them. The cool thing about this escapism…
