Yes, these are very common English phrases. Especially the last one, won't spoil the surprise for you but I'll give you a hint: it's in Spanish.

The Wonders of Editing
Film is a language with a syntax all its own. As seen in the 'Fensler Film GI JOE' PSA, you can use the base elements of film, shots, takes, angles, together with sound effects and creative editing to make a whole new meaning from the same series of images.
If you failed to find American Psycho a hilarious movie, then I suggest you watch this. Or you become a sick bastard like us.

Blaxpoitation baby can you dig it homes?
To me a lot of the best music and the best cinema came from the 70's blaxpoitation period...thanks to youtube I can watch stuff from my favorite era, and not just have to read about it.

Communist Commercialism
In the dark days of the old Soviet Union, before Glasnost, Perestroika, Pirozki and even Blini, people needed to buy things and the State Department Store needed to tell people that new items are now on sale.
This though may seem a contradiction, given crass commercialism is the realm of the bourgeois capitalists out West and meant you were a heinous counter-revolutionary, earning you a swift one-way ticket to the hospitality of a Siberian Gulag.
Notwithstanding this, the State Department Store still needed to get the word out and there are few better ways of doing this than the television commercial. However, like all people struggling with unfamiliar concepts, like a bovine entertaining existentialist thoughts (why am I here? who is the "I"
that is doing the asking? what happens in that big grey building there?), the basic elements are there but there's just something missing compared to their capitalist cousins.
So what's wrong? Is it the dubious quality of the products? Is it the glassy eyed actors? Is it the horrendous soundtrack? Is it the way it makes you scream "WTFFFFF??!!"?

The best 80's Hong Kong Actresses!
Ah the life of a screen siren, with a shelf-life roughly shorter than a candle made out of petrol soaked human fat, these women who tickled the fancies of so many adolescent males are soon forgotten, left only to marry well or else languish in horrible soft porn.
This is my personal tribute to my favorite Hong Kong actresses, who I hope are living well in their middle-age years.
She's probably doing okay, being Jet Li's wife and all.
I don't covet her for fear of Kung Fu retribution.
Amy Yip used to be the benchmark for big boobs in my youth.
As Loretta used to be the benchmark for slut
My all time favorite dream girl really
AND HERE'S 6 WHOLE MINUTES OF HER BEING SEXY
RAWWWRRR

The best 80's cartoons
You know, even though I was born in the 80's, I missed a good deal of these great cartoons. Primarily because in the 80's SBC channel 5 (Now TCS 5 oops I mean Mediacorp 5) seemed to think cartoons were programs to stuff in between daytime soap operas and endless TVmedia (the TV shopping channel) re-runs. In fact most of the time, they didn't even bother to show the cartoons in episodic sequence.
So ironically I caught bits and pieces of the most awesome cartoons the 80's had to offer...in the 90's on the free to air Malaysian channel...dubbed in Malay. Wheeled warriors, Robotech, Galaxy rangers, Visionaries...even TRANSFORMERS...cartoons our dear state run Television authority avoided in favor of crappy canadian produced cartoons like HIGHLANDER -which was so bad in every aspect I can only figure that it must have been on the crappy cartoon discount rack.
This is my post dedicated to those awesome 80's cartoons that most of us in Sunny Singapore no doubt missed.
Undoutedly my favorite of the space western opera cartoons that were so popular. Awesome theme music!
The blonde character was basically Clint Eastwood...in space!
I think I only really ever saw this once, but it left a huge impression on me. I love how they put on their masks.
More space westerns! I was completely in love with this...although when I caught it, all the dialogue was in malay. So it probably sounded like "SABERRR RIDERRR sama Polis Bintang di atas!" Great theme song though.
I actually had these toys but I had NO idea where they were from. I'm not certain they even showed the cartoon in the region! Not my favorite, but still quite cool.
To me this was when cartoons started becoming crap. To be fair its a borderline pass as a cartoon series. I remember actually watching it on local TV.
Bravestarr! I also had the toy...but had never watched the cartoon before. But you can't beat a horse with a shotgun seriously.
Okay there are just TOO many cartoons that rocked the 80's so thats all for now...to be continued!

Who cares if its completely stupid? BOOBS!

Bobby Lee's "24" parodies
High octane suspense comedy has never been so freaking funny!
Bobby Lee's a comedian on one of my favorite shows, MADtv by the way. Check this shit out.
With John Cho from Harold and Kumar, and recently ...STAR TREK
With Dave Navarro
With John Cena
Better than the real thing.

Pythonus Obscurus
For some reason, I always found most of the iconic Flying Circus sketches (Dead Parrot, Nudge Nudge Wink Wink, Spanish Inquisition) to be not at all that funny with the exception of Ministry of Silly Walks but then that's only because of John Cleese.
I also didn't find the movies funny at all save for the Biggus Dickus scene from Life of Brian. I also found out most people watched the movies exclusively and almost have never watched anything from Flying Circus and that's sad.
So to educate our dear readers and also to give people something to reference in their conversations because peppering your social interactions with Python references always makes you seem learned and a person in possession of taste and humour.
Anyway, here's WTFblog's Python primer and a salute to the original WTF-fy bunch.

Soccer: The beautiful game
Also known as the boot-iful game. Cos the players wear "boots" that look nothing like real boots.
But the beautiful/bootiful game also has several moments that can make you go "WTF" and laugh.
This one's done quite well. Love the part where Alan Shearer gives the ref a red card.
And this referee really takes the cake. A fruit cake.
WHAT THE F***?!?!?!

No Retreat, No Surrender!
Look what I found! Another 80's gem.
NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER also known as KARATE TIGER
Jean Claude Van Damme as the bad guy, and not overacting for once? Precious!
Visited by the ghost of Bruce Lee? Demonstrating exposition through didactic metaphors? Check that awesome box now!
Incidentally I used to own a copy of that Bruce Lee book the kid is reading before he falls asleep.
I'm not sure if Bruce Lee would recommend all parts of this training... Especially at 0:40.
Ah the 80's ...the wtf decade.

Genetically Different, Baby
The universe does have a sense of humour. It may endow you with a body that would make a Renaissance sculptor weep or grant you the punching strength of a really pissed off gorilla but in return give you a voice of an extra from Revenge of the Nerds.

The best parts of Batman and Robin

Holy Anatomically-Correct Batsuits
After all the hype from The Dark Knight last year which I personally thought was mind-bendingly overrated compared to Alan Moore's The Killing Joke, I thought I'd remind you of a time when Batman movies were shit and of a time when I personally felt like taking a chainsaw to Joel Schumacher's scrotum for ruining one of the franchises that defined my childhood.

The Emperor's New Wheels
Chinese manufacturer Geely rocks up to the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show with their GE concept which they claim is a completely original concept and in absolutely no way a copy of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Well, how can it be a copy of the Phantom when it only has one rear seat?

The Sincerest Form of Flattery
You know you've got an icon on your hands when people start to make fakes.
In addition to the clones (cheap knockoff lookalikes), you'll have the pirates (equally cheap but subtly different). Like in the Malaysian hyperrmarket I visited with the "Nike" shoes. The Swoosh on them had an extra jagged line. It's difficult to describe in words but think of it like a Swoosh with a tumour.
This though, is the first time I've ever seen it done with people.
Presenting... BRUCE LE. Part of the Bruceploitation trend of the 70s just after the real Bruce died, spawning classics such as My Name Called Bruce where they seem to have taken dubbing from a Western by accident and The Clones of Bruce Lee starring Bruce Le, Dragon Lee, Bruce Thai and um...Bruce Lai.
Now bring me a bucket. I would vomit.
