Tommy Chong to Huckabee: Weed Lies Like Yours Put Me in Jail (VIDEO) {AOL TV}

Aug 6th 2010 12:44AM Should someone make it clear that Tommy Chong did nine months in a Federal prison for selling GLASS.
That's how crazy the insipid drug war is.


"The estimated cost of Operation Pipe Dream was over $12 Million and included the resources of 2,000 law enforcement officers" Well done. What did that accomplish?

Madchen Amick -- Today's Crush {Asylum}

Dec 25th 2008 11:13PM "Twin Peaks" was a show brimming with beautiful women (Peggy Lipton, Joan Chen, Lara Flynn-Boyle, Sherilyn Fenn, Heather Graham...), but Mädchen Amick was always at the top of my list. Who wouldn't have killed to go to the diner for a slice of her cherry pie...

Movie Gadget Friday: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai {Engadget}

Mar 1st 2008 5:04PM 1. The movie never made any money.
2. It took three viewings and a half-ounce of reefer before you could suss out the plot.

And THAT'S what happened to your sequel. Actually, there was talk of a TV series on Fox, but that fizzled, too.

According to http://www.banzai-institute.com/0901FAQ.html:
"Earl Mac Rauch and W.D. Richter, in collaboration with Reno Nevada, have written a pilot script for Buckaroo Banzai: Ancient Secrets and New Mysteries, a proposed TV series for Fox TV. A short promotional trailer (with a computer-generated Jet Car) was even made for the project by the visual effects wizards at Foundation Imaging. Unfortunately, the pilot was shelved by a network management change, although another outlet has reportedly expressed some preliminary interest. In the meantime, you can see the amazing Jet Car trailer on the DVD edition of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai."

I guess Dubya is a fan, too. Monkeyboy.

Movie Gadget Friday: TRON {Engadget}

Mar 1st 2008 4:38PM You're right, the plot and character development are definitely geared to the average 10-year-old, but this was one of the first depictions of cyberspace and for that in gets some kind of recognition.
The movie that blew my mind in this regard was "Scanners" (which preceded "Tron" by a year). It was the part where Cam gets on a pay phone and connects his brain to a mainframe. Oh, and the exploding head was pretty kickass, too.
