Metropolis

Have you guys ever heard of "Metropolis"?

"Metropolis is a 1927 German expressionist film in the science-fiction genre directed by Fritz Lang. Produced in Germany during a stable period of the Weimar Republic, Metropolis is set in a futuristic urban dystopia and makes use of the sci-fi context to explore a political theme of the day: the social crisis between workers and owners in capitalism." via Wikipedia

Here's a clip from the original motion picture.



Anyway I would love to see this movie remade today, with the technology we have now, it would be such a sight if it was done correctly.

Artist like Janelle Monae used this film for an adaptation to her album, and it's pretty damn amazing!

but yeah that's just a thought! Maybe someone will read this and go "ohhh yeah Let's do it!!!!"

Wishful thinking

"In this interview, broadcast in November 1973, three months before MAME was released, Lucille Ball acknowledges she is not a singer or dancer and explains why she thinks that should not be an issue in MAME. Please note that this was well before any portion of the film had been seen by the critics or the public. Even Lucy, herself, had not yet seen any finished takes from the film. Besides Lucille Ball, MAME also featured Bea Arthur, Robert Preston, Bruce Davison and Kirby Furlong and Jane Connell."


It's funny that even back in the booming entertainment years people were being accused of such things. Lucille Ball was a great talent.

I dig the industry now. The glamor and the elegance of being a celebrity is gone. I would love to bring these times back.

The Boy Is Mine

Flash Back
Remember Brandy and Monica's hit single
"The Boy Is Mine"

We Are the World

The Mother of all Benefit songs
this one started it all folks.

USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa), was the name under which forty-five predominantly U.S. artists, led by Harry Belafonte, Kenny Rogers, Michael Jackson, and Lionel Richie, recorded the hit single "We Are the World" in 1985. The song was a US and UK Number One for the collective in April of that year.

The considerable profits from the enterprise went to the USA for Africa Foundation, which used them for the relief of famine and disease in Africa; critics, however, claim that this money went directly to the (often military) governments of the affected countries rather than the people.

and now today we have songs like "Just Stand Up" and the Remake of Marvin Gaye's "Whats Going On"

Atomic Flashback: Grace Jones

Grace Jones is the undisputed queen of androgyny but that doesn’t mean she ain’t sexy! Over the last twenty years she’s graced our magazine pages and blared over our radios, but more than anything who could forget her strong presence on the big screen? Born Grace Mendoza in Spanish Town, Jamaica, she moved to New York in 1965 with her family where she became a successful model and studied theatre at Syracuse University. Despite her education, Grace didn’t begin her career in acting until the 80s. First she secured a record deal with Island Records in 1977, which resulted in a string of dance club hits and garnered a large gay following. Towards the end of the 70s Grace embraced a dramatic visual makeover, created in partnership with stylist Jean-Paul Goude, with whom she had a son though never married. They created her staple androgynous look with square-cut hair and angular, padded clothes. A star was born and Hollywood soon came calling. Grace co-starred with NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain and Arnold Schwarzenegger in Conan the Destroyer in 1984, played the infamous 007 nemesis in the James Bond movie A View to a Kill (1985) and who could forget Strangè of Boomerang (1992)?! These days you can find Ms. Jones hanging out in London with cool kids Kate Moss and Stella McCartney or sitting front row at an Alexander McQueen show. Icons don’t rest you see.
