How Have I Never Seen This Before???


Holy fucking hell... how have I never seen this??? As a purveyor of the Internet and someone always seeking out weird and wacky stuff, I do not know how I never saw this rap video from Dan Aykroyd & Tom Hanks entitled "City of Crime" from the Dragnet soundtrack. I fucking love Dragnet... it is such a campy classic that I revisit it often. But I had no idea that this video existed... Jesus!!!It was brought to my attention when I read an article on Yahoo Music by Rob O'Connor (click here to see it) highlighting the 25 worst rap performances ever. How the fuck did they get TOM HANKS & DAN AYKROYD to dance around like buffoons and recite these ridiculous lyrics with straight faces??? I know this was long before Hanks was Mr. Oscar perennial front runner, but he was still a pretty big name in Hollywood. This could have derailed his career FOREVER if the Internet was around back in the late 80s/early90s... This is by far the best 3 minutes I have spent in a long time!!! Click after the jump for some Pagan bashing fun...

Who Wants To See Some Classic Hollywood Behind The Scenes Pics???

I forget how I came across this awesome photography site called This Isn't Porn (This Is Pure Beauty), but either way I feel remiss to not share it with you guys. It is an awesome snapshot into some behind the scenes moments from Hollywood of yesteryear. There are some really great shots on here for any fan of entertainment (music, TV movies... its all here). I chose some of my favorites to share her, but you can see the hundreds of photos they have in their archives by clickng the link above. Very cool stuff...
