Live Tweet Alert: Watch Cutting Class With #ScarySocial!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

As some of our regular readers undoubtedly know, I am involved in a few weekly live tweets on twitter.  I host #FridayNightFlix every Friday, I co-host #ScarySocial on Saturday, and I am one of the five hosts of #MondayActionMovie!  Every week, we get together.  We watch a movie.  We tweet our way through it.

Tonight, for #ScarySocial, I will be hosting 1989’s Cutting Class!

If you want to join us on Saturday night, just hop onto twitter, start the film at 9 pm et, and use the #ScarySocial hashtag!  The film is available on Prime and Tubi!  I’ll be there co-hosting and I imagine some other members of the TSL Crew will be there as well.  It’s a friendly group and welcoming of newcomers so don’t be shy!

 

Music Video of the Day: Give To Live by Sammy Hagar (1987, directed by Gil Bettman)

Posted on by Jedadiah Leland

This music video is one of Sammy Hagar’s best.  It shows how big deal MTV was in 1987 that Mark Goodman appeared as himself to introduce the video.  The message of the video seems to be that happy couples watch Sammy Hagar together.

Director Gill Bettman was primarily a television director but he also directed a few videos from Hagar and Chicago.

Eddie Van Halen plays bass in this song.  In fact, Eddie played bass for the entire album, I Never Said Goodbye.

Enjoy!
