Ahhh HELL! I looked at Paxvision through my Swayzevision glasses and the Near Dark/Roadhouse crossover my mind saw through the timespace rip was so awesome I may never be able to enjoy another movie again. Better go watch Predator 18 times again without blinking.

Hang on, Bud Cort is still alive? Why the fuck isn’t he cast in everything?!?

….Wait, Bud Cort was in *Pumping Iron*?!?!?!?
Did someone bring him so they could stand next to him during a competition? I’m pretty sure that’s the one thing bodybuilders consider doping

Please never mention Bill Paxton wrangling his hog through town again. Or write about nothing else, I’m not sure which.

…Inexplicably, yeah, you’re right. Would. I thought I’d come to terms with a deep weakness for gremlin looking men but usually they’re not Bill Paxton, you know?

I think I can safely say THIS was the high point of human art. We will not see its like again…

Brockway you magnificent bastard…

Now I HAVE to join your accursed Patreon.

I cannot allow an article about Martini Ranch go unread… especially if it’s on 1-900-Hotdog.

That’s basically Internet Christmas for someone with my tastes🥰🥰🥰

Back again, as a certified Hot Dog Hero, no less😊

As fantastic as “Reach” is, do yourself a favor and check out “How Can A Laboring Man Find Time For Self-Culture?”

It was co-written and co-performed with two members of DEVO, it looks like a Fritz Lang movie, Anthony Michael Hall is in it, and it was directed by legendary music video auteur Roky Schenk–who gave the world Barnes & Barnes’s immortal “Fisheads” among others.

It is pure, unfiltered, weapons grade 1980s…and I love it more than several members of my family.

P.S. Bill Paxton shows up in several Barnes & Barnes videos, that’s actually how I discovered Martini Ranch. I was on a Barnes & Barnes deep dive (fairly representative of my leisure activities), and Martini Ranch came up in YouTube’s “suggested” queue.

You could do a lot worse than to feature a Barnes & Barnes article…

…I would seriously write that for you for free if nobody else is interested.

One final note (or I’ll be here all day writing accolades that I’m fairly certain no one is ever going to read)

I thought the official “freaky little goblin” of the 1980s was Tracey Walter?

You know him, even if you don’t know the name: he was the thief in Conan The Destroyer, as well as Joker’s goon Bob in 1989’s Batman, and “Cooky” in City Slickers.
