Not shaken or stirred

Well it looks like the world has gone all topsy turvy. If you're a Bond fan (which I'm not really, most of the Bond films are pretty bad in my opinion, although I like the Connery ones the best) and/or have some serious issues with product placement in movies (personally I think that movie Minority Report had one of the worst uses of product placement in a film and Josie and the Pussycats probably the best (and it's a great film with an awesome soundtrack - Josie's vocals were provided by Kay Hanley from Letters to Cleo, in my opinion an underappreciated band from the early 90's)) you're going to hate this.

According to this article the people behind the franchise have reportedly signed a large deal with Heineken and will be featured heavily in the new Bond film. Let's hope that there will just be adds for it all over and everyone else drinking it because for some reason things just wouldn't be the same without 007's martinis.

But enough of the cinematic dreck, time for a note from the whodda thunk it files; apparently porn star the Legendary Ron Jeremy aka The Hedgehog (who BTW was in the first porno I watched, in case you were curious. oh wait you weren't? too late) played an uncreditted role as a costumed monster on the Disney saturday morning kids show Bone Chillers. Or at least that's what this article told me.

Now you may be suprised to read that I've never seen RJ's work in Bone Chillers, but I've seen him plenty of other times on screen (Mr. Jeremy is creditted with appearing in 1600 porno films and directing over 100 others), but if you haven't seen it I have to reccomend the documentary peek inside Ron Jeremy's life Porn Star - The Legend of Ron Jeremy. It's a really good movie and an interesting view into his life. After watching the movie I got the feeling that the beloved Hedgehog is a pretty sad and lonely guy.

And finally because there is no better teacher than television here are a list of 8 important lessons learned from 80's cartoons, because like my good friend GI Joe said, knowing is half the battle.
