True fax: My first boyfriend (whom I shall protect from the Googles in this tale) while in middle school in 1991 chose his college, his major, and his eventual career path based on the lyrics of Marky Mark’s Wildside.
Cause deep inside Annie had aspirations
He figured that was quite a salary and so, based on the wisdom of Mr. Funky Bunch, that’s just what he did.
The song “heavily samples” Lou Reed’s Walk on the Wild Side a term that seems like a “heavy understatement” and though the story of a kid from Oregon picking a bright future based on a song of bleak misfortune is quite something, that it’s also just three degrees of separation from the real story behind Walk on the Wild Side (complete with Andy Warhol casting) it sounds even crazier.
On a Very Special Episode of "You Married Someone Who Doesn't Remember the Early 90s..."..."
Me:
Do you know who that is?
Ryan:
No.
Me:
You make me want to weep sometimes.
Ryan:
Why, who is it?
Me:
Blossom. Of TV's Blossom.
Ryan:
Silence. (Jenna von OŸ, I'm so old.)
Adele, age 9.
Hi-tops flawless. (There are more. You know you want more.)
Gentlemen, I wouldn’t trust this overgrown pile of microchips any further than I can throw it.
It’s a hacking double feature. War Games and Live Free or Die Hard. It’s part of The Net 101 curriculum.
Verdict so far? Ally Sheedy is no Tish.
“I watched a very provocative film last night about internet safety. It was called The Net.”
Because if you’ve only sat still for two films this year (The Great Justin Bieber Film Never Say Never ((HEY. John Waters liked it too)) and the Russell Brand Arthur, a historical 15th Anniversary viewing with a technology anthropologist is… well, it happened.
Verdict? The one thing the film predicted with great prescience: ordering pizza online.
It’s like staring at two eras, destined for extinction but not yet. One clinging for life, leashing itself to a seemingly more viable host, hoping to hang on for just a little while longer.
It’s an instant snapshot of future fate from the past. An eclipse yet to come.
Also, Sporty Spice. That is all.
Spice Girls Polaroid camera. But why?
GPOYW: The Trick or Treat Edition.
Well, kids. Just because I’m in the swamp, doesn’t mean that you all shouldn’t be amused.
Okay! Here you are then.
Left: That would be an actual legit Glamour Shot circa 1994. Even better, it was taken thanks to a coupon for a free sitting that I got at cheer camp. Yep, it just gets cooler and cooler, don’t it?
Right: Exactly twice as old, just in a different costume, one that I will be wearing a week from today at the promotion board. Hence, part of the swamped.
Somehow side-by-side it’s like a photographic pitch for an updated Major Dad, one with a rebellious daughter in an 80s throwback band. That, or there’s really no good explanation.
Hoot at will.
Stop. Hammer time.
A very hard song to karaoke. Very hard.
Oh HECK yes. This could be the most important quiz you’ll take all day.
Election, Cruel Intentions, or Clueless? Reigning. Champion.
If I’ve only seen five movies and three of them are Home Alone, if I’ve only seen ten — eight of them are in this quiz. Oh yeah, PLUS the director commentary. Scholar, this kid.
With an Open Letter to Christian Bale. Regarding the 1992 Film ‘Newsies’…
In fact, let’s have a screening at my apartment. You can see Newsies for the “first time.” I’ll wear my Urban Outfitters newsboy cap and we’ll use my work computer to print out fake “newspapers” we made in Microsoft Office with a photo of you and an announcement of your change of heart.
Open the gates and seize the day…
