The Bubba fills a request...

Welcome back for another episode of life with The Bubba. After my last post, Stef - whom you may know from another little blog out there - requested that I throw up a clip from one of my all time favorite shitty movies. And yes, I do mean throw up.

So for those of you that aren't familiar with this one, let me give you a quick heads up. The movie is called "Killer Klowns from Outer Space". Catchy, I know. So is herpes.

Well, besides the fantastic acting and the years ahead of it's time special effects, it's also got one of the best theme songs ever. So sit back, grab your barf bucket and enjoy the original theatrical trailer for this cinematic delight!





I know, you're all sitting there, going, "But Bubba, you seem to have such fantastic taste. How could you love this?" The answer: I was easily influenced in my younger years. In fact, to prove it, I'm going to give you a couple more trailers from films in my collection.

#####UPDATE#####
I just found out that comedian Christopher Titus has a very small role in this film. You can see him in the opening scene of the film walking in front of the cop car drinking beer from a grocery bag.



Coming up next you'll see another "horror" film called "Near Dark", which surprisingly enough has some actors in it you might know. For those of you nerds like me, you'll recognize Lance Henrikson aka "Bishop" from the "Alien" films. You'll also find Bill Paxton playing the crazy and bad vampire named Severn. And finally, for you "Heroes" fans, you'll see Adrian Pasdar, aka "Nathan Petrelli" in the lead role. Enjoy!



Now, for those of you horror and vampire fans, this is worth watching. I'm not saying it's good, but it's better than that Alyssa Milano vampire flick that only gets rented because she's naked in it.



Next up for you I've got the cream of the crop of shitty movies I love. This one I made my lovely friend Stef watch, and while she didn't enjoy it, she felt compelled to see it all the way through. Not because it was good, but because it's like seeing a two headed fetal pig in a jar. You just can't take your eyes off of it.

So here it is, the trailer for the Corey Feldman and Corey Haim monstrosity called "Dream a Little Dream".



So I know you're sitting there saying to yourself, "What the fuck is that movie about?" I'll tell you this. I have no fucking clue. I've seen the damn flick probably 100 times if not more, and I still don't understand it. So go rent it, or buy it, and you'll hate me and love me all at the same time.



Finally, I'm going to bring you a little joy. For those of you still clinging on to this parade of cult classics, I wanted you to see one of the gems of my collection. No man, woman or child should go through life without ever seeing the masterpiece known as "They Live". All I'm going to say is Rowdy Roddy Piper is a god among men. Get your bibs, you just might drool a little.



That movie has the best line ever written in a film, and I know you caught it. Yep. That's right. It was the line about the bubble gum. Seriously, if you haven't seen this one, you need to.


Finally, for no other reason than the fact that I was fulfilling a request from Stef, I'm going to throw one more clip in here. And I just felt like having something completely random and out of place in this post.

Many of you have probably seen this, but in case Stef hasn't, this one is for her. Here's some kitties for you!



So I hope you've enjoyed this little journey, and I might be back with some other very obscure movies otherwise referred to as shit in the next few days.

'Nuff said. The Bubba has spoken.

The last of the Wolverine TV spots

Hey again, kiddies!

No time to talk today, just wanted to drop the newest - and last - of the 3 part promo running from FOX.



Kinda cool. Didn't expect to Cyclops in there.

Anyway, I wasn't kidding when I said I had no time. Tell me what you think.

'Nuff said. The Bubba has spoken.

"Wolverine - Brothers" TV spot #2 - spoiler alert!

Well, when the Bubba promises, the Bubba delivers. Here is the second of three TV spots made for the FOX network.

And for any of you Nancy's that don't want to know too much about this movie, I'd look away. In fact, go home to Mommy and forget you ever saw this, because at least in my opinion, this gives a lot more away about the story line of the film. This clip may or may not be a spoiler for some of you.

Without any further delay, here is the newest trailer "Brothers" for "X-Men Origins: Wolverine".



While I'll admit, the first one got me more pumped up than this one, it is very cool to see Sabretooth and Wolvie both being old as fuck and having lived through a number of wars.

And for you ladies, maybe Hugh Jackman will be without his shirt more in tonight's trailer.

Keep your eyes peeled, kiddies, and I'll post part three as soon as I can.

'Nuff said. The Bubba has spoken.

More Wolverine for you all!

Well, my little nerds, if you're anything like me you're dying to see the new Wolverine Origins movie coming out. Thanks to FOX, we are getting little teasers for the next couple of days.

Starting last night - Sunday - FOX aired the first of 3 more trailers during Family Guy. The next two will happen tonight and tomorrow on American Idol.

So sit back and enjoy, and let me know what you think.





I promise I'll get the others up as soon as I can find them.

'Nuff said. The Bubba has spoken.

OK, Nerds, you'd better bring it!

What's up, chuckle heads? The Bubba is once again here to do his little monkey dance for you and let you chew over these tasty little nerd bits.

Today, I will not discuss anything more than necessary. I'm only here to bring you some happy times in your geek pants.

First up, the very highly anticipated Star Trek movie. Check it.



So when you Trekkies are done wiping up under your keyboard, feel free to move on to this little nugget. Here is the trailer for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra



Not having too many warm fuzzies on this one. I'm seeing a possibility of a steaming pile of cinematic poo. I hope I'm wrong.

Next up, we've got Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. This one I think will live up to the first, but take a look and see if you agree.



I think it's pretty fucking sweet, but what do I know? I'm just a fanboy who gets pissy when Hollywood fucks up my childhood memories just to make a buck.

Now here is the one that definitely gets me excited. Without further ado, I bring you the trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine.



So much going on in this. Gambit, Sabretooth, Emma Frost, The Blob, and was that Deadpool? And for you ladies, last I heard Ryan Reynolds is playing Deadpool

On a much sadder note, the cheese dick who directed A League of Extraordinary Gentleman has apparently signed on to write and direct a remake of The Crow. Are you fucking kidding me? The movie is barely 15 years old? Leave it the fuck alone.

Not only is this one of my top ten movies of all time - regardless that it isn't perfect - this movie does not need to be remade. So Stephen Norrington, go see if you can ruin something else instead. Hell, you may have ruined Sean Connery's career. Have you noticed he hasn't done a film since League?

Fuck you, Stephen Norrington. You'll only taint a good thing. Don't believe me? Watch any of the fucking sequels they tried to make. The story only works once. After that, no one cares.

Now, before I want to cut my eyes out so I'll never see this remake, I'm going to keep in the theme of trailers. Here is the original 1994 trailer for The Crow.



So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a great summer of movies and some saint to stop the remake of The Crow.

Oh, and in case I didn't get my point across, go fuck yourself, Stephen Norrington. Then you can go cornhole your dog.

'Nuff said. The Bubba has spoken.

Infomercial sales guys in a fight to the death?

Hello again, all you little sciolists! The Bubba is here once again, despite a bit of a hiatus, to bring a little joy to your lives!

I've had a few of you question my love affair with the mullets, and all I can say is once you start looking for them, it's all that you see. They're intoxicating, and much like meth, hard to give up. This post, however, will be mullet free, although I bet both of the guys I'm going to talk about have had one before.

I'm sure by now all of you are familiar with the ShamWow! You know, the overpriced towel getting hocked by the creepy, pedophile looking assbag on late night TV?

Well, if you haven't seen him before, Vince (real name "Vince" Offer Shlomi - trust me, the name's legit) is back with a new product called the Slap Chop.

I'm not promoting nor am I negating the quality of this product, but this is one of the most fucked up infomercials I've seen in a long time. Check it out.



Now, there's plenty to talk about here, but I'm going to try to keep this somewhat short.

First, did you catch the Gunther-esque sparkle on the fruit? I was seriously waiting for him to purse his lips and have the Sunshine Girls doing the snake behind him.

And how about the line, "You're gonna love my nuts" followed by him reaching below his belt before revealing a bowl of walnuts, pecans and some other random munchies? Just a bit of a double entendre, don't you think?

And let's not even try to figure out where he was going with "Fettuccine, linguine, martini, bikini." Seriously, I'm starting to think this guy is more like Gunther than I imagined. (For you newer readers, go back to the January 10th and January 14th posts and acquaint yourself with Gunther - you'll be glad you did.)

Perhaps the most impressive thing in the whole add is not the Slap Chop itself, the funny remarks or the sparkling strawberries is the over the shoulder shot of the competition's product into the sink. I actually watched this a few times, thinking that it had to be staged, but if you watch the reflection in the glass behind him, I fucking think he actually pulled it off.

The last thing I want to point out is the hard boiled egg with a sweet pickle, a green onion and some ham. "You don't have time to make breakfast. Breakfast to go." What the fuck did he just say? When's the last time you saw those four items diced up and called breakfast? And how the fuck is that breakfast to go? Are you going to grab a handful of your minced up leftovers and toss them in your suit pocket to munch on while you're driving to work?

Here's the best stuff I found while cruising the net to find a little more info about Vince and his Britney Spears headset. This guy is a total nut job, in case you weren't sure.

Vince Facts: Former Scientologist, sued Anna Nicole Smith for backing out of his "film" The Underground Comedy Movie (also sold via infomercials), and feels partially responsible for the term "German Engineering." Oh, and he used to sell shit at flea markets. Go figure.

To make things better, Billy Mays, aka the OxiClean guy who is continually yelling for no fucking reason, appears to have a deep seeded hatred for Vince.

When asked about Mr. Slap Chop, he stated, "Please. He's a one-hit wonder. He took a shot at the title and but can't compete." Apparently when you have a bearded chin and extra hairy forearms, you think you're invincible behind your denim shirt.

Now, I can understand Billy's anger a bit. He's pitched a product exactly like the ShamWow and the Slap Chop both. And we all know Vince is back woods trash, regardless of where he came from.

Now, for as much as I'd love to see a street brawl between the wiry, crazy eyed Vince and the bearded, loud mouthed Billy, I don't think it will happen. When asked if Vince thought he would be the next Billy Mays, he responded by saying, "I don't want to be. I'm in the film business. This is not my career."

Keep believing that, Vince. You're the next Brad Pitt.

Until next time, kiddies. I'm off to partake in some beer and good conversation with friends.

'Nuff said. The Bubba has spoken.
