Gome of the Week
I really try not to be one of those people who bitches about cops, but man: the authorities in this case really wouldn't own up to dropping the ball, would they?

Whatever. It's awesome that these poor dudes are free.

Can you imagine going into prison during the Super Nintendo era and coming out and playing the Wii? What a rush that must be.

And, you know, seeing their families and shit is probably pretty sweet, too.

 

 

 

This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great
1910 Visions of 2000 - What a future!

 

This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
The American Angels: Baptism of Blood (1989)

I enjoyed Streets of Rage so much that I just had to find out where it all began for Mimi Lesseos. When I realized that it was with a low-budget women's wrestling movie featuring gals who had done time with G.L.O.W., it didn't take much to convince me that I needed to see the shit out of it.

The most surprising thing about this fetish-video-disguised-as-an-action-movie is not that it exists, but the fact that it was released by Paramount. Seeing the porn-esque pre-movie promo where the girls give you a 900 number to call to enter a contest to meet them, followed by Paramount's hallowed star-circled mountain logo was confusing, but also a comforting reminder of what a wonderful time 1989 was.

Some folks get a real charge out of chicks whaling on each other, and there's no shortage of hot lady-on-lady mat action here. Predictably, this flick isn't much more than a sappy little story strung together to give countless reasons for girls in spandex to repeatedly hip-toss each other. Need a prime example? Check out the opening credits. The jiggly, oily, slow-motion opening credits.

Hard-bodied Jan MacKenzie (the one in the middle up there), fresh off her starring role in Gatorbait II: Cajun Justice, plays Lisa, a topless dancer who aspires to be more than just a pair of jugs who bounces around for male enjoyment. So, she tries out for the American Angels, where only the best of the best are allowed to get deliciously suplexed while wearing an assless swimsuit.

Lesseos plays Magnificent Mimi, the top star/total bitch of the organization, who also bangs the dude who runs the company. Lisa starts sleeping with the guy, which leads to sweet, sweet tension, and it all comes to a head at the Baptism of Blood, where Lisa faces Mimi for a purse worth $25K. There's also a $5K bonus for the first lady to make the other one bleed. That's hot blood action!

Turns out Lisa's grandfather is a famous old wrestler, best known for killing a dude in the ring with a move he trademarked called "The Snap." Lisa doesn't want to use it, but when things get tough, will she have the courage to wrap her taut thighs around Mimi's supple neck? Yes. Oh my god, yes.

Can't find the official trailer, but follow that previous link and there's a bunch more clips. You perv.

 

 

 

 

This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Tommy Ott - There'll Be an 'Ott Time in the Old Town Tonight (196?)

Tommy Ott is so blazing with his fingers, so rambunctious with the ragtime, that he is forced to keep a fire hose handy in case the organ he's playing spontaneously combusts.

Though apparently he comtemplates hosing down the instrument when it's not on fire, too. Ott, you incorrigible scalawag.
