PSY must be laughing his ass off all the way to the bank! Even though he isn’t getting paid, people are having so much fun making all these parodies….

Posted this the other night. The cameo appearance was what sealed the deal on this video for me.
Just curious if any of the admins have seen the email I sent them last night. Got quite the important music video for everyone to see.
See, now this is just the opposite of the previous thread.
I have no earthly idea what this is about.
@ lobo91:
Seriously. I said the other night when I posted it that if people don’t know the movie that the parody song refers to then I give up all hope for humanity. Lol

7.7 mag earthquake off the coast of British Columbia. If true, that’s a biggy.

Mars, I’m guessing it’s from a Jackie Chan martial arts movie, which one?
AZfederalist wrote:
Nope no Jackie Chan. Kurt Russell directed by the great John Carpenter. A film many years ahead of it’s time.
Psst…. The name of the cult classic (starring Kurt Russell) is listed in the tags for this thread…. a great movie, by the way…jeez!
Aaah fresh, hot cherry muffin. Right out of the oven.

Add me to the list of folks here with no idea what that video was about…

If that film had been released 10 years later it wouldn’t have just been a cult hit. It would have been huge.

@ lobo91:
This should answer your questions.

For Calo…..
@ Bordm:
You beat me to it.
@ Urban Infidel:
Or this….
@ Lost:
Your link provided some good information.
/No, I don’t remember watching that movie. I may have seen bits and pieces on HBO years ago.
I am seldom able to watch a movie more than once. That film is on my rotation for once a year watching. Along with Brain Donors, Kelly’s Heroes, and American Carol.
@ Lily:
For {{Lily}}
Just because I enjoy speaking french to you some nights
@ Mars:
I stumbled across a Blu-ray edition of it a few months ago, loaded with great extras. The audio commentary is done by Carpenter and Russell.
Nite everyone!
Have a good one!

I’m going to have to pick that up. They keep talking sequel and part of me keeps getting my hopes up, but the other part of me thinks they’d lose something.
(Though it was sure made sequel ready)
@ Calo:
@ Urban Infidel:
i love the sound of that song.
Big Trouble in Little China. A classic!
Yeah, I paid my dues.
@ Lily:
I’m CCR’s number one fan!
Kirly wrote:
Isn’t it great? I haven’t heard it in a long time. It’s more beautiful than ever.
@ Mars:
I’m thinking too much time has passed to make a viable sequel. Have you seen Kung Fu Hustle? It’s hilarious!
So Sad.
Bordm wrote:
Nope missed that one.
They’ve also talked about a comic book sequel. Since they did a better followup to Escape From New York in comics than they did in the movies, I had a lot of hope for it. Never did come out though.
Wo Fat Style!
McGarrett investigates Obama!
@ Lost:
that’s terrible!
Kung Fu Hustle chase scene.
Bordm wrote:
I think my love of the film comes out of the fact it’s done in a 30′s style. (One write up says it was partially inspired by Howard Hawks films. Especially with the quick delivery by the characters.)
I guess I’m kind of old fashioned since two of my other favorites, Brain Donors and Oscar, are both homages to old Hollywoood. (Brain Donors is essentially a Marx Brothers film and Oscar is just one of those hilariously absurd comedies that seemed to come out in the 30′s and 40′s. Also I am one of two people in the world that actually like The New Adventures of Laurel and Hardy, Where’s my Mummy with Bronson Pinchot.)
Bordm wrote:
That does look funny. I know one of the films I have watched half of so far was The Good, The Bad, and the Weird. That film had me laughing my ass off, I really want to finish it someday.
@ Kirly:
I know and there are cases like this everywhere. The ripple on effect of one business going bust is huge. I still can’t believe people are voting for Obama.

Go down to apparel.
@ Mars:
Howard Hawks made some great movies, I have around a dozen of his movies on DVD. I also am an old movie nut and consider the 30′s to be the golden age of movie making.
@ Bordm:
Can’t fault you there. I know there are some greats. I do tend to stick with the Marx Bros, but I’ve watched some other outstanding ones through the years.
Like I said, the ones I listed are almost as if they reached back and pulled those writers to the present. Just some great humor.
Of course I love Rio Bravo, Rio Lobo, El Dorado, Hatari, Monkey Business.
another lena dunham parody ad
nice!
Mars wrote:
To Have And Have Not, The Big Sleep, Red River, Only Angels Have Wings, Bringing Up Baby, I Was A Male War Bride and His Girl Friday are classic also. I need to locate DVD copies of The Cocoanuts, Animal Crackers and Love Happy to complete my Marx Brothers collection.
Bordm wrote:
I’m going for the big set that is done by the years. When I can finally afford it. They also have one for the Stooges.
Comedy is almost a psychological test. Marx Bros or Stooges? (Marx) Addams Family or Munsters? (Addams)
Though honestly I like all of them, it’s just I know what I’m going to watch if there is a choice between them, lol.
My favorite Psy parody…
@ Brick:
That was pretty good. For videogamers there’s the skyrim version.
@ Mars:
I scour the bargain bins at Wally World, Best Buy and Blockbuster whenever I get a chance. Paid $8 for the Blu-ray Big Trouble In Little China, for example. Of the 70+ John Wayne movies, I think the only one I payed full price on was The Big Trail, remastered 70mm and 35mm versions. It’s a great movie in the original widescreen, according to the information with the DVD, very few people saw the movie in the 70mm widescreen format when it was released. Most theaters didn’t have the necessary equipment to project it, so they showed the 35mm version instead.
Speaking of the Munsters, I’m watching ‘Car 54 Where Are You?’ on ME TV, Larry Storch is the guest star.
@ Lost:
What? It’s Obama’s problem they were undercapitalized in their plumbing business?

@ Bordm:
Yeah we used to hit the bargain bin at Walmart before my dad passed.

Nice. I just got Get Smart Season 1 for 5 bucks at the pawn shop. Unfortunately my brother needed gas to help me get my kids back and forth to school this week so I wound up having to pawn it at another shop.
I hope when I get it out I can find the rest of the seasons for the same cheap price. (Hell, I’ll even take the substandard 90′s series if I can get it. Hate Andy Dick but at least it still has Don Adams and Barbara Feldon.) Nude Bomb is pretty expensive to get too, but I got Get Smart Again for a buck at the dollar store about 5 years ago.
These kinds of threads aren’t much use when all the video clips are not viewable.
Don’t see much new in the news this morning, and don’t have anything novel for a gun thread idea. There was a pretty good size quake (7.7) in the Pacific off the Canadian coast resulting in tsunami alerts for HI amongst other places, but I haven’t seen any updates on that yet. Not much new regarding Sandy -- track still rather vague since it’s still move NE and hasn’t turned cack towards the coast yet.
I came across this video and found it highly amusing.
Be warned: If you share it with a liberal Jewish friend,they’ll go meshugeh on you!
Well, I don’t know if this one has been posted on here yet or not (can’t see videos on here any more), but if not, have a look. It deserves a real Instapundit “Heh.”

@ Mike C.:
Crap -- blew it again…
Let’s try that again…
Again, I don’t know if this has been posted here or not. If not, it should be. In fact, it should be “stickied” to the top of the damned blog. It’s not a good videao; it’s a GREAT video.

Good morning.
The Des Moines Register endorses Mitt Romney in todays
edition.
This paper is influential in Iowa and always endorses
Democrats. The BHO Campaign must be in panic.
Mike C. wrote:
WELL DONE!
@ Mike C.:
Puts it in perspective.
Yeah, kinda makes the point, doesn’t it?
@ Mike C.:
Yup
This mornings Chicago Tribune has no mention of Benghazi,
until Clarence Page on the Op-Ed page.
His jist is , “Silly right wingers, Obama did everything right.”
But the Trib does have a story about the Romney Campaign
retaining firms of some senior staff for such things as polling
an ads.
Nothing illegal or unethical, but they just want you to know.
Then the endorse Obama!
