‘Scrooged’ (1988): Vulgar, slapstick take on Dickens, with a remarkable ending

A mean-spirited, vulgar, slapstick take on Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Thank god.

Latest Atari 2600 pick-up: OMEGA RACE (1983) from Bally Midway & CBS Electronics (remember when every company had a games division before the video game crash of '83?).

From the vinyl vault: Tané McClure, who starred in tons of late 80s & 90s B-films, was a budding pop star in the early 80s, releasing a self-titled album in 1982 under her married name, Tané Cain (her then-husband, Journey's Jonathan Cain, was a producer on the album). The single "Holdin' On" reached No. 37 in the US. Tané later played Reese Witherspoon's character's mom in the Legally Blonde films. . . . . . #tanécain #tanecain #tanemcclure #1982 #80s #1980s #80smusic #rock #rocknroll #pop #vinyl #record #music #vinylrecords #vinylcollector #popmusic #records #dangerzone #holdinon #reesewitherspoon #legallyblonde #journey #jonathancainmusic

My new hardcover edition of Jim Cornette Presents BEHIND THE CURTAIN: Real Pro Wrestling Stories.

From the TV-on-DVD archive, ADVENTURE INC. - the 2002-2003 syndicated adventure series starring Michael Biehn. Most folks don't remember these short-lived, little seen shows, but I loved them! Roger Corman helped producer Gale Anne Hurd deliver this series on time & on budget. . . . . . #adventureinc #michaelbiehn #tribuneentertainment #karencliche #jessenilsson #tvondvd #tvseries #adventure #adventuretv #syndicatedtv #galeannehurd #terminator #aliens #rogercorman @rogercorman

With the sad passing this week of The Cars' Ric Ocasek, thought I'd share this book - LET'S GO!: Benjamin Orr & The Cars. Orr was The Cars' bassist & also sang lead on songs that Ocasek didn't (including the big hits "Just What I Needed" & "Drive"). He died from cancer in 2000. I bought it the day it came out late last year but haven't read it yet. Moving it up the list now. . . . . . . #thecars #thecarsband #benjaminorr #ricocasek #rowmanandlittlefield #book #biography #rockmusic #newwave #newwavemusic #davidspero #joemilliken #70smusic #80smusic #80s #70s #popmusic #publishing #bass #bassplayer #leadsinger #bassguitar #justwhatineeded #drive #mtv
