Remember The Time...

Sooner Or Later
Michael Jackson & Madonna

I thought we'd welcome the first Friday of July with some Flashback Friday action. With the recent anniversary of Michael Jackson's death and Madonna's NYC gay club performance let's remember the time they attended the Academy Awards together, shall we? We Shall?

The year was 1991 Madonna had been asked to perform Sooner Or Later by Stephen Sondheim from the film Dick Tracy, in which she appears as Breathless Mahoney. Madonna with her usual flair invited the King of Pop as her date for the to do.

Madonna has since described the date as "epic" and "fun." To make the evening even better Sooner Or Later won the Oscar for Best Original Song.

The more you know...T.G.I,F!

Photobomb Drop

Where's The Hamm???
Jon Hamm, January Jones & Kiernan Shipka
I stumbled across a rerun of an episode of Mad Men the other day and realized how much I miss the show. Thus today's photobomb image is something of a flashback, well it is Flashback Friday after all.

One of the hottest men on three legs Jon Hamm is captured dropping the "P Bomb" on co-stars January Jones & Kiernan Shipka.

I make no bones about my thing for Hamm on here (get it? Bones?) He has movie star looks and a nice slice of you know what to go along with it. If you are confused as to how I know that clearly you haven't seen the magnificent pics of him freeballing. I wished that would have been a part of this bomb drop...sigh.

We're kicking off with an excellent selection of interviews
That's right, we're streaming Dr. Ruth's '80s interviews with celebrities, rock stars and lots of special guests. Dr. Ruth's shows are known for their mix of on-air therapy sessions and candid celebrity interviews. We preserved these 12 episodes in their original format, so you'll get the full Ruth experience. For our first batch, we bring you Jerry Seinfeld, LL Cool J, Burt Reynolds, Anthrax, Gloria Steinem and more... Watch.
An eclectic mix of Dr. Ruth programming from 1984-1992
Our first batch of episodes highlights the diversity of Dr. Ruth's programming. From the very popular mid '80s program "Good Sex with Dr. Ruth," to 1989's teen advice show "What's Up Dr. Ruth," you'll get the feel for Dr Ruth's signature formats and style.
In these episodes, you'll see Ruth answer letters on the air, stage short therapy sessions with troubled couples in studio, and answer phone calls from the TV audience watching at home. There are other surprises now and then too, but you'll just have to watch the episodes to see what happens.
What Dr. Ruth Westheimer did for the conversation around sex in the '80s broke the mold and had a real social impact while being wildly entertaining. We're honored to help preserve this legacy. Start watching tonight!

Sentimental Saturday - "High School Musical"

Awwwwwwwww....
l-r Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale, Vanessa Hudgens & Corbin  Bleu
I guess there has been some confusion of late as to whether Zac Efron enjoyed his High School Musical days at Disney.

Since I never really track petty things like that and simply hear about how the star in question puts the kibosh on it that is how you are getting Efron's Flashback Friday photo that he posted of himself, Ashley Tisdale, Vanessa Hudgens & Corbin Bleu from 2008.

He captioned it: "So grateful I came across this picture... with the o.g. crew during one of the most cherished times of my life. #fbf"

See Zac isn't anti Troy Bolton after all and why should he be?! This is what put him on the Hollywood radar. 
I for one enjoyed the first High School Musical it was a throwback to things I used to watch as a kid. Oh, and it didn't hurt that Efron was in it ; )

Time to get Sentimental it's Saturday

FBF: Welcome To Camp Crystal Lake...


"Kill her, Mommy! Kill her! Don't let her get away, Mommy! Don't let her live!"
- Pamela Voorhees

Since I participated in Throwback Thursday yesterday, because, well it was Thursday, duh, I thought I would take the opportunity to engage in Flashback Friday, ya know, since it's Friday the 13th after all.

Think back to the year 1980 when the original Friday the 13th movie was released at the height of the slasher film craze. At what point was that in your life? Me? I was a Freshman in High School, be nice now. 

I was too young to get in to see it solo and no one would take me. So I had to wait for home video. What I do remember was it upped the ante in terms of graphic killings on screen. 

The story of  doomed counselors at the now legendary Camp Crystal Lake aka Camp Blood had critics recoiling and audiences shrieking!

Everyone in school who had been able to see it was a buzz about it describing the bloody deaths of the camp staff with a perverse glee.

When I finally got around to seeing it, the horror movie that raised the bar had been surpassed by others post it.

The original Friday the 13th is now considered a horror classic because of it's influence on the genre. Something I know at the time was never contemplated of happening.

It remains one of my favorites of a specific place and time in cinema, because, in case you haven't guessed it "Yes"I love a good scare...Boo! Happy Friday the 13th!

Check out the trailer for the original Friday the 13th after the jump!
