Crank Yankers Uncensored Season 1

Okay, so now I've just decided what the hey, let's do TV show box sets too.  Today I'm watching some of my Crank Yankers Uncensored Season 1 box set.  Crank Yankers is TV show featuring puppets acting out actual crank calls made by celebrities to real people.  It's pretty damn funny and if you like prank calls, I highly recommend it!
From the box:

Pick it up.  It's for you!  Don't miss an episode from the uncensored first season of Crank Yankers, featuring all of your nasty-talking favorites from Jimmy Kimmel's Elmer to Sarah Silverman's Hadassah to a special little someone named Ed.  This DVD set also features puppetized performances from artists like Tenacious D (naked!) and Ween.  So sit back and enjoy the cranks, just remember...in Yankerville, no one is safe!

2002, Color, 153 Minutes, Not Rated

Bonus Features: 2 Unaired Calls, "Dial 'T' for Torment: A Mini Documentary"

And here's an audio clip of one of the calls:

Shock Treatment

So I'm finally getting around to watching Shock Treatment.  I've only watched a little bit of it so far but I decided to pause and do an entry before I forgot.  One interesting thing that I didn't realize before is that Jessica Harper, who plays Phoenix in Phantom Of The Paradise, plays Janet Majors in this movie.  I was watching thinking that she looked and sounded a lot like her and lo and behold, it is her!  Just a little random fact that amused me.  From the box:

The musical madness and mayhem continue in this sumptuous "sequel" to The Rocky Horror Picture Show - on DVD for the first time ever!  In the continuing adventure of Brad and Janet Majors (Cliff De Young and Jessica Harper), their suburban hometown, Denton, U.S.A., has been transformed into a giant TV studio, where the brainwashed citizens remain happily glued to an endless series of soap operas, variety acts and game shows.  But before you can say, "We'll be right back after this, the station's unscrupulous sponsor has locked Brad up in a mental hospital and recruited Janet to be the sexy star of her own hit show.  Stay tuned for a shocking lineup of maniacal characters, biting satire and all-out fun!

1981, Color, 92 Minutes, Rated PG

Crazy

I had a pretty fun and crazy night tonight.  I left my house at about 5, and it usually only takes like 40 minutes to get to LA.  IT TOOK ME TWO HOURS!  So that kind of blew, I missed the whole opening act of this show I was going to.  But the rest of the show was good.

AND THEN...

My friend and I were supposed to go out to eat with people.  We were going to pull out of the garage, meet them on the street, and follow them to the place because I had no idea where it was.  So we get out and there's no one outside.  We waited for about 5 minutes, called my mom to ask for directions, and then got gas, checked to see if anyone was there yet, and decided to try to find the place ourselves.  So we're driving through the valley, trying to follow the directions my mom gave me but we can't find a certain street.  We ask a guy at this gas station for directions but he can barely speak English and he gets us even more lost.  FINALLY my friend's mom calls my cell phone to tell us that the people thought they saw us behind them, got to the restaurant, found out it was full, and left.  So now we had to drive all the way back to where we started to eat somewhere that was a block away from the Knitting Factory (where the show was).  But that place was closing so we had to go down Sunset a bit and eat somewhere else.  It was a little stressful at the time but it was fun, and in the end I got to try Thai food for the first time!  It was really good.  Thank goodness for Facebook too, because that's how my friend's mom got my cell number, otherwise we would've driven around aimlessly forever.  It was funny though, because as we were heading back to Hollywood we passed the restaurant we'd been looking for.

Then driving down Hollywood Blvd. to the freeway to go home, I had my windows rolled down and two creepy guys in a car next to me asked me where I was going.  I simply rolled my eyes and rolled up my windows.

YAY.  I may do a post about Shock Treatment tomorrow, although I'm going to a YouTube gathering, and then to my grandma's, plus I have a lot of homework to do.  But we'll see!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Today I'm watching...The Rocky Horror Picture Show!  This is mainly because I plan on watching Shock Treatment (the sequel) tomorrow so I just felt it necessary.  But I do love this movie!  Tim Curry is so awesome.  From the box:

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is an "erotic nightmare beyond any measure."  Relive Richard O'Brien's sinfully twisted salute to horror, sci-fi, B-movies, and rock music - a "sensual daydream to treasure forever" - starring Tim Curry (in his classic gender-bending performance), Barry Bostwick, and Oscar winner Susan Sarandon.  Do the "Time Warp" and sing "Hot Patootie" with Meatloaf again...and again...and again.  Pull up a slab and let the madness begin!

1975, Color, Approx. 100 min, Rated R

Seriously, if you haven't seen this before, then what rock

have you been living under? Go watch it! Although,

watching the DVD is nothing like a midnight showing,

because those are awesome, so I recommend seeing if

there's one in your area!

Phantom Of The Paradise

So I've decided I want to start a little movie suggestion thing.  I'll title the blog post as the movie title, and then give a little info about it.  At first I was going to make comments while I watched the movie but I tried that and it was pretty lame, so for now I'll just talk about it and urge you to see it.

So today's movie is Phantom Of The Paradise.  From the box:

Phantom of the Paradise is a groundbreaking cult film favorite from acclaimed writer/director Brian De Palma.  Paul Williams wrote the acclaimed rock and roll score for this musical horror classic, and stars as an evil record tycoon haunted and taunted by a disfigured composer he once wronged.  Cheered by Los Angeles Times as a "delightful outrageous...visual triumph," this hilarious send-up of the glam rock era is pure entertainment from beginning to end!

1974, Color, Approx. 92 Minutes, Rated PG

I've only seen this movie twice before, but I fell in love with it the very first time I saw it.  It reminds me of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in a way, and I absolutely love that movie, so if you like that you'll probably like Phantom Of The Paradise.  This movie is kind of loosely based on Phantom Of The Opera, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, The Picture Of Dorian Grey, and Faust.  It's a musical (duh) and it has lots of great songs, interesting characters, and it's just a cool movie.  Here is a poster:

And here's the trailer:

If you do decide to see this movie, let me know what you think!

What I Like About You

Here's a fun, random, super-awesome 5:38 AM blog post for everyone who stumbles across my sad excuse for a blog.  Right now my sleeping schedule is like completely bass-ackwards and I'm going to bed at like 9 AM and waking up at 5-7 PM.  I really need to fix that, because I'm leaving independent study to finish my final semester of high school with my friends.  Eww...mornings =/  But yeah.  I just watched some video on YouTube where this person was listing random facts about themselves and I thought it would be kind of fun to do that.  It might even help me learn about myself!  Here goes:

1. I am kinda OCD.  I have to have the stereo turned to a number ending in 0 or 5 (15, 20, 25, 30 etc.) and I have no idea why.  It just drives me nuts if it isn't.  I have some other OCD traits like if I touch something with one hand I usually have to touch it with the other as well.  I don't know if that makes sense but yeah haha.  Plus like...just other boring little things I do.

2. I like orange juice, but I'm really picky about it.  I can drink Minute Maid and stuff like that but I don't really like it.  I love Odwalla and Naked orange juice as well as fresh-squeezed.  And for some reason I've always loved Donald Duck brand orange juice, which I'm not sure if they make anymore.

3. On the topic of juices I'm addicted to guava juice and I have been since...as long as I can remember.  I also LOVE Jamba Juice's orange berry blitz.  And Odwalla's Citrus C C Monster (which I am drinking as we speak).  And lemonade made with lemons from the tree in my backyard is probably my favorite thing ever.

4. I've loved Alice Cooper since I was about 7 1/2.  I saw him singing "Welcome to my Nightmare" on a commercial for some Halloween event at Magic Mountain, asked my mom who he was, and the rest is history.  She had a few of his albums on vinyl and I sat in front of the record player and listened to them over and over all night long.  I soon realized that I recognized a couple of songs from hearing them on the radio before I realized who Alice Cooper was.  My obsession only grew from there.  When I was 9 I was Alice Cooper for Halloween and I was actually in a Halloween parade (the final Mark and Brian Halloween parade, and if you're from my area you'll know who they are...well even if you aren't, they were the DJs in the Princess Diaries movie) as the 9-year-old Alice Cooper!  When I was 11 I went to see my first Alice Cooper concert and my grandma scored me and my brother backstage passes, so I have a picture of me with Alice and an autographed program.  I see Alice every time in town and I've only missed him once (I cried).  I even went to see a taping of the Craig Ferguson show that Alice was on.  And I'm determined to meet him again one day so he can sign the picture of us =D  Oh, and for Christmas I FINALLY got this pretty rare autobiography of his from the 1970s, YAY!  Thank you mommy =]  (This probably could've been a post of its own, it was pretty long but oh well haha.)

5. Okay so I was writing about my lucky celebrity encounters here...and then I just started blabbing on about random stuff and people and things like that and it started getting really long and braggy sounding so I decided to nix it.  But maybe one day I'll post it.  Who knows.

This post is getting entirely too long.  My apologies, but like I said I'm bored!  Bye for now =]
