In honor of Fred Astaire’s birthday, here are two scenes featuring Fred and Cyd Charisse from the 1953 film, The Band Wagon!
Yay! It’s Ari Lehman’s birthday!
Who, you my be asking, is Ari Lehman?
Well, you’ll definitely recognize him in this scene that I love from the original Friday the 13th!
That’s right! Many actors have played Jason Voorhees but Ari Lehman was the first!
And today is his birthday.
Happy birthday, Ari Lehman!
Today is James Franco’s birthday! That’s practically a holiday here at the TSL Bunker! Or, at the very least, it’s a holiday here in my little office.
We’re all very excited about James Franco’s upcoming film, The Masterpiece. Directed by James himself and based on Greg Sestero’s wonderful book, The Disaster Artist, The Masterpiece will take viewers behind the scenes of the making of The Room! Along with directing, James is playing Tommy Wiseau while Dave Franco will be taking on the role of Greg Sestero.
But, before we see The Masterpiece, why not rewatch a scene from the film that started it all? The scene below is one of the key moments from The Room. Johnny (Tommy Wiseau) finally confronts his “friend,” Mark (Greg Sestero) over the fact that Mark has been sleeping with Johnny’s future wife, Lisa (Juliette Danielle). This is the scene that features the classic lines, “I fed up with this world!”
Enjoy this great scene!
If you’re celebrating James Franco’s birthday today, why not read some of the following James Franco-related reviews:
And, if you’re a lover of The Room, check out Jedadiah Leland’s interview with Tommy Wiseau!
After you’re appreciated The Room, why not read a review of a different film that happens to have the same title?
And finally, here are my thoughts on The Neighbors, Tommy Wiseau’s TV show.
And now, let’s sing it!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Poor Linus but at least it worked out for Snoopy and Woodstock.
Today’s scene that I love comes from Groundhog Day! In this scene, Bill Murray speaks truth to power and let’s us all know what the future holds for us!
(Incidentally, I believe that, earlier today, the groundhog did not see his shadow, which means that we’re going to have an early spring. Bleh! I was hoping for a longer winter, if just because I’d like to get some snow down here. I’m tired of living vicariously through my blizzard-addled friends in the North!)
So, I’ve never actually sat through the 1989 movie Teen Witch but, thanks largely to Val and her review of the second Nightmare On Elm Street film, I have sat through several YouTube clips. Fortunately, Teen Witch is going to be coming to Netflix in February so I’ll be able to get some context to go along with the two scenes below.
First off, there’s this scene featuring a bunch of suburban teenagers telling each other to “top that!” It’s hard to know where to start with this scene. I’ve watched it a countless number of times and I’m still not quite sure what to make of it. The main theme seems to be that teenagers in the 80s were incredibly lame but I’ve seen Fast Times At Ridgemont High, The Breakfast Club, and Say Anything so I know that can’t be totally true.
Another odd thing about this clip is that looking at the guy wearing the suspenders fills me with an indescribable rage. If I ever ran into the actor, I would probably end up yelling at him, freaking him out, and then feeling really bad about it afterwards.
ANYWAY! Here’s the Top That scene from Teen Witch! It’s a scene that I love despite myself:
And here’s the second scene from Teen Witch that I love, the I Like Boys musical number. Seriously, if I didn’t know this was a low-budget teen movie from the 80s, I would think it was a documentary filmed at J.J. Pearce High School.
I’ll be so happy once February arrives and I will finally be able to put these two scenes into the larger context that is Teen Witch.
It’s been a year since Through the Shattered Lens lost one of it’s own: Semtexskittle.
In honor of his passing I’d like to share one of the films he and I share a love for. I think he may have been one of the few who truly wanted this film to be nominated as one of the ten films picked for Best Picture for the year it came out. While the Academy voters were sorely shortsighted for not nominating the film, it still remains one thing Chris shared with everyone at the site. Whether it was his love of sports, anime, video games and everything in-between.
We all still miss you, Chris.
