Super Mario at the Ice Capades!
Well, today was about as hot as I can stand without pulling a Claudia. I figured I’d fight the heat by choosing a chilly video:
Here’s the Super Mario Brothers’ Ice Capades performance, from 1990…. with fuckin’ Mr. Belvedere as King Koopa!
This was apparently part of a longer Ice Capades special on ABC. Super weird, super awesome, and just the thing to make 100 degrees feel like 65. Enjoy!
PS: I’m currently migrating Dino Drac to a different server. You shouldn’t notice any hiccups while we complete that process, but if you do, that’s why.
Free-For-All Saturday Thread!
Okay guys, let’s all sit on those big wet rocks that are just barely peeking out of the violent waves. It’s Saturday!
This is a Free-For-All Weekend Thread. Talk about anything!
The Harryhausen Chronicles!
Happy Friday. Here’s something you didn’t expect to watch:
Get set for The Harryhausen Chronicles, a 1998 documentary about Ray Harryhausen’s life and work.
This video was suggested by Brew Berry, who adds: “This Friday is June 29th, and would have been Ray Harryhausen’s 98th birthday. I personally plan to release the Kraken (rum) and toast his memory while watching several of his best movies, as well as this. The Harryhausen Chronicles has the added bonus of being narrated by Leonard Nimoy. This version has subtitles, but they aren’t too obtrusive, and it’s the best online copy I could find that wasn’t chopped into segments.”
Sounds good to me!
The Mysterious Monsters! (1975)
Reader Kirk O. suggested this video a long while back, and it seems pretty perfect for a Thursday night:
The Mysterious Monsters is a 1975 documentary about Bigfoot and his maybe-real pals. Hosted by Peter Graves. This sounds so up my alley!
