This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great

This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
The Wizard (1989)

what? you've seen this? probably not lately.

kevin arnold and that poor man's jack Nicholson from "heathers" light up the screen in this long-running commercial for Nintendo and universal studios florida, the former which definitely worked on me.

the redhead girl, jenny lewis, who I'll admit I was in love with as a child, now is the semi-successful indie rock band rilo kiley. the wizard himself, jimmy, apparently recently played high school guy in "american pie 2." kevin Arnold played "a junkie named marc" in "rules of attraction."

and christian slater i think does dinner theatre. i kid.

of course this served as the premiere of super mario bros. 3, a monumental moment in my and many other children's lives.

"I love the power glove. it's so bad."

love biff.

 

 

This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Maritime - Glass Floor (2004)

My wussy emo dreams have finally come true. Following the break-ups of two of my favorite pop bands, The Promise Ring and The Dismemberment Plan, some of the key members from each group got together and put out their own record.

And on top of that, it doesn't suck. In fact, it's quite good.

Bring on the sensitivity!
