I Won't Apologize

I spent a few hours last evening trying to shoot a bit for this weekends Coffee With Jeff. Did not go well. I'm afraid the animals at our house, 2 cats and a dog, heard a bit of language that is unsuitable for drunken sailors. (and I use the term drunken sailors with respect)!

I was going to apologize for not posting my usual Jeff Update on Thursday but that thought, no. I'm not going to apologize to you or anyone else. Don't look at me that way! Who are you to judge!

Been watching a lot of old Mystery Science Theater 3000 lately. Started to transfer my old VHS tapes to DVD but soon realized that most of them are in very poor shape. As I type this, I'm watching Forest Tucker in The Crawling Eye. Hey Forest, you were funny in the politically incorrect F-Troop, but you were a horrible actor.


My Blog recommendation for this week is LIFE. WORDS, & ROCK 'N' ROLL by Stephanie Kuehnert. I discovered this blog through my friends Terrence's blog, Broken Hearted Toy. I knew from the moment I read her profile, "I'm a punk rock girl from the Midwest." this would be an interesting blog. Stephanie is a poet and writer who has written two novels, I WANNA BE YOUR JOEY RAMONE and BALLADS OF SUBURBIA. She describes her blog as "the place where I babble about writing, music, and life in general!" Her latest post in titled, Women Who Rock Wednesday: Cheryl Rainfield. Good read!

Brad X is the host of the Podcast Get Drunk and Play Records. The iTunes description is "Get Drunk and Play Records with Brad X! Trashy, sleazy, filthy rock'n'roll... the perfect show to kickstart your weekend debauchery." Brad usually plays old scratchy 45's while he drinks cheep beer, swears and belches. He is loud and sometimes annoying but I enjoy each one of his shows. Although iTunes only has his recent 5 shows, he use to be part of the Garage Punk network and many older shows can be found there.

Hard at work trying to get the show ready for this weekend, and here is a little last of what might be included.




And finally I would like to recommend a film, David Lynch's Island Empire. I don't know when it will be on again, but it has been in all the time on The Sundance Channel. I would like to tell you what it is about but I've watched in a few times and really don't know. Lynch said of the film that it is about a women in trouble. The women in trouble is Laura Dern. Like all of his films, it is more of a bad dream that a story. Dern seems to just around into different realities and in the following seen, she is with a bunch of prostitutes who begin to dance.

Hockey is Over

All right, so I have not posted very much to The Coffee With Jeff website. Sorry. It is just that I've been doing these hockey videos for my boss that has taken up most of my time. The last of the three videos were completed Friday, so now Coffee With Jeff will get my complete attention!

I plan on having my Monday Movie review a little later today.

Right now I would like to share a story of a man with a magic leg who had the leg stolen

Bandits cut off holy man's 'magic' leg

This Week in the World of CWJ

So, I decided last week that from now on I would recommend a blog on my weekly ramblings. This is turned into a harder task that I first thought. Since I use a blogspot blog, I thought I’d use the next blog feature at the top of my blog to find other interesting blogs. The thing is, if I find a blog I like, I can follow it and hopefully the person on the other end will check out my blog. This is not a scam. I am not one of those that will follow every blog in hopes they will follow me. Only blogs that I really feel are interesting, ones that I may want to actually read once in a while would I follow.

What I find however is most blogs have the recent post with something like this ”I know it has been a while since I’ve posted but life has got very busy lately but I’m hoping to blog more often . . . “ And that would have been posted 2 or 3 months ago without any new updates.

Next is the family blog. I know these are great for the people involved in those families, but nothing on them is worth me recommending.

This is followed by the personal blog. The creator of this blog has decided to post an entry about everything that happens in his life. “Today I ate a Quart Pounder with Cheese and it didn’t sit well, spent a lot of time in the bathroom. . .” This is more of an internet diary that no one but the author would ever have much interest in, unless, of course, he gets famous. Hey Dell Griffith!

So today's blog is one called badmovies.org. It is a site dedicated to the off-beat films I really enjoy. They have nice forum with a bunch of like-mined movie watchers that certainly know a lot more about b-Movies than me. The site is filled with all kinds of great movie information, review, pictures and more.

I think the name, "Bad Movies" give the wrong idea, however. It is not all about bad films, but more about films that are just not the main stream, low-budget, cult films.

THIS WEEK ON COFFEE WITH JEFF
So, I am hard at work on this weeks show, harder than usual. This show is one that is near and dear to my heart. I won't tell you too much about it, you'll just have to check it out for yourself. Here is one of the clips I'll probably be using. It might give you an idea!



PODCAST OF THE WEEK!
This week I'd like to introduce you to Brian Dunning. Brian is the host of Skeptoid: Critical Analysis of Pop Phenomena is a weekly pro-science, anti-pseudoscience podcast. In a nut shell (What the hell does that mean, in a nut shell?), Brian takes on all those weird, explained stories we hear about all the time, like strange lights in the sky or mysterious figures lurking in the shadows that many consider proof of a paranormal, alien visited, monster hiding world and give real, down to Earth, scientific explanations.

MOVIES TO WATCH THIS WEEKEND!
Friday night on Turner Classic Movies, the will be showing the best of the Zucker/Zucker/Abrahams films such as Airplane, Top Secret!, and Naked Gun. Of course we've all seen these films a million times but they still hold up for a bunch of good laughs. Also, late night on Friday, early Saturday, 1960's Steve Allen film, College Confidential. I might DVR this one just out of curiosity.

That's it for this week.
