7 Great Clark Griswold Moments

Posted on 08 October 2009 by admin

vacation

From Source: Screen Junkies

Huge news that, if true, could produce a film that either rejuvenates one of the best comedy franchises in movie history, or could destroy the film industry forever. Yes, I'm talking about the fact that New Line/Warner Bros. have signed Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin to produce and possibly direct a National Lampoon's Vacation sequel.

Now, I'm someone who doesn't even consider Vegas Vacation a part of the franchise. It's why I've enjoyed referring to the Griswold's misadventures over the years as, "The Vacation Trilogy." After all, "Trilogy" has a nice ring to it and aside from Rusty's Mr. Papageorgio subplot and the casting of Marisol Nichols as daughter Audrey Griswold… Vegas Vacation was about as much fun as arriving at Wally World only to find out it's closed for remodeling.

And the rumor is that the next installment will actually focus not on Clark & Ellen, but on son Rusty and his new family. Chevy Chase may only have a bit part in the film, if that. And so, this led us to curate the following list of classic Clark Griswold clips. At the very least, they'll remind us of what's made the National Lampoon's Vacation series so everlasting. At the most, New Line/Warner Bros. and Mr. Dobkin will stumble across this page, tear up from laughter, realize what they're about to embark on and then either make a kickass Griswold family vacation for a new generation… or scrap the whole idea altogether.

Listropolis' Take:

Considering these are my all-time favorite movies, I LOVE this post. If you are a fan of the Vacation franchise, you'll probably end up bookmarking this and coming back to it often.

Top 7: ’90s Sex Symbols

Posted on 13 February 2009 by admin

From AskMen.com:

During the '90s, the world was a very different place than it is now. Sitcoms and teen dramas flourished in a world yet to be corrupted by reality TV. Music videos were still relevant. Mike Myers and Adam Sandler were still funny, and the internet had yet to completely take over our lives.

The '90s also introduced us to a multitude of unforgettable females. It was a decade marked by the rediscovery of the blonde bombshell. Curves were decidedly in fashion (as if they ever weren't), and though beach bodies and hourglass figures abounded, we were also fixated on some less conventional beauties: the slender teen sexpot and the sci-fi seductresses. All in all, it was a great decade in which to be a heterosexual male. AM invites you to take a trip down memory lane with us as we count down the top 10 '90s sex symbols.

Listropolis' Take

Um...it's a pain in the ass to see all 7. The list is fairly accurate, except for #6. She's not, and never has been, a sex symbol. The list is worth a look, but expect to get confused navigating the site. Check it out, your mileage may vary - Digg fans seem to really like it.

6 Celebrities that Got Fat!

Posted on 12 February 2009 by admin

During the superbowl, my friends and I were talking about someone from a movie that we all thought was smoking hot, but how she's now huge. I was surprised how long the conversation lasted, so I figured I'd try to make a list of other celebrities that have gotten "large." Superficial? Of course. But who cares.

#6.

BBW — 15 Big Beautiful Plus-Size Models

Posted on 10 September 2008 by admin

From Asylum:

When you think of a model, you probably picture a twiggy, alien-like creature who subsists mainly on a diet of nicotine and Tab. But we appreciate the female form in its many different shapes and sizes, from trim to voluptuous. So we decided to lavish some attention on the unsung sister to the runway waif, the plus-size model.

The full-figured females in the gallery below aren't all as famous as the Kate Mosses of the world, but they do have one thing in common: They get our blood pumping with their dangerous curves. Check out our shapely slideshow as we count down the hottest BBWs.

6 Real-Life Vigilantes Crazier Than Batman

Posted on 09 September 2008 by admin

From Cracked:

Yesterday's story about real-life super-villains left a bad taste in our mouth. Surely those flamboyantly evil criminals have counterparts on the right side of the law: Men of great courage and strength of conviction willing to plunge alone into the criminal underworld, handing out justice like some kind of a man-shaped justice dispenser.

Instead we learned the world is chock full of lunatics who think they're that guy. Men who consider a COPS marathon intensive law enforcement training and are always ready to take to the streets with whatever weapons they found in their garage. They may not make us feel any safer, but they certainly restore our faith in crazy.

Superhumans Among Us: People with Abilities Beyond Belief

Posted on 18 March 2008 by admin

human abilities

From the Site:

He's run a half-marathon in the Arctic Circle region – in bare feet. He's been entombed in ice for 72 straight minutes. He's swum 80 meters beneath a layer of ice. He's climbed partway up Mount Everest, clad only in a pair of shorts.

This man is known, unsurprisingly, as The Iceman. And no, he's not a new character on Heroes – he's a 48-year-old Dutchman named Wim Hof, who has the ability to control his body's temperature through an ancient form of meditation known as Tummo. Though Tummo is normally practiced only by monks, Hof has mastered the art form to such an extent that he never feels cold, even in sub-zero temperatures that could cause severe hypothermia, or even death, should us normal people attempt such stunts.
