Interlude--HOBGOBLINS

Now that I've discovered how to link shit in YOUTUBE, I have decided I'm going to post some stuff you should watch because I tell you to.

First up is the first part of episode 908 of Mystery Science Theater 3000 called HOBGOBLINS. Today was the first time in my entire life that I ever watched it, and it made me cry because I laughed so hard. You have the option of watching all of it (search for "mst3k" and "hobgoblins") but the host segment in this first part is the awesomest, because Crow and Mike are wearing footie pajamas, and I HAVE FOOTIE PAJAMAS!!! YAY CHRISTMAS PRESENT FROM THE HUSBAND!!! YAY FOOTIE PAJAMAS IN GENERAL!!! YAY SCREAMING BOBO!!!!

review--COBRA STARSHIP

So, yeah, SNAKES ON A PLANE. I, for one, have been trumpeting it from the top of Mount Doom since I first heard about it. And, hey, it was cool. It was SNAKES ON A PLANE. There wasn't enough Samuel L. Jackson. There was a lot of puss. A LOT of puss. Did you know snake bites cause an obscene amount of puss? According to this movie, they do. A LOT OF PUSS.

Anyway....

The greatest thing about this movie, except for all the TV appearances of Samuel L. Jackson saying Fuck over and over again (which is always appreciated) is the theme from SNAKES ON A PLANE, called BRING IT, by the put-together band COBRA STARSHIP. The band features members of Midtown, The Sounds, The Academy Is..., and Gym Class Heroes. This will probably mean nothing to you, as it did to me. Except I have songs on my player from all these bands, but apparently not put there consciously. Anyway, this song kicks all sorts of ass. It is infectious in a way snake venom is not (although lots of puss could result from both). Also, the band is wildly fucking attractive. So good for them.
Watch this over and over again, just because that one dude looks sort of like if John Taylor from Duran Duran and Orlando Bloom had a baby.
