Friday Flashback: Total Recall

Y'all remember Total Recall dont ya? The 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger action flick set on future earth and Mars. It had all those cool (for the time?) visual effects and the "Johnny cab"! Just re-watched it and I thought that it was sooo fun. I last saw it when I was a kid, and of course my eyes [and ears] were constantly being covered and uncovered by my parents. I missed the three boobs, the exploding heads, and half of the "colorful" dialouge. Not this time though. Well lessee....

Curiouser and curiouser

(Alice in Wonderland)

It looks like our favorite oddball director Tim Burton is back again with his new film based off of the Lewis Carroll's book “Alice in Wonderland.” This new film will have all the visual gothic, zany touches that we have grown to expect from every film that he makes. Including touches such as beautifull dreary landscapes and a weird looking Johnny Depp (underneath all that makeup lies a secret garden of hotness!) Both of these are things I would have loved to visit as a kid….I was sort of a twisted kid.

R.I.P Billy Mays, Farrah Fawcett

Three incredible legends passed this week, and Braindamage will not easily forget any of them... Read on for our Rest in Peace blessings for Billy Mays and Farrah Fawcett. Hit this Jump for our Michael Jackson remembrances.

The Face of beauty and grace in the 1970's and beyond, Farrah Fawcett bravely battled a rare cancer for years. Best known for her extremely popular pin-up (left), and her role as the most popular Charlie's Angels character, Farrah was a legend. The blond bombshell's famous, feathered tresses even spawned a Farrah shampoo brand in the 1970s. The actress chronicled her painful struggle with cancer in Farrah's Story, a documentary which aired in May. Fawcett was 62. We'll miss you Farrah.







Billy Mays--50--pitchman extraordinaire, passed away this morning. Billy was an incredible salesman and to be honest he got me hooked on Oxi-clean! The man was an inspiration to me, because during my college years, I watched him parlay a great sales pitch--for a great product--into uber success. He taught all of us to stand behind something great [and success will follow] . R.I.P Billy Mays

R.I.P Michael Jackson, once and future King

Thursday June 26--LA Califonia,

50-Year-old Michael Jackson dead of cardiac arrest.

Aaron's Take:

"The King of Pop was such an inspiration to the entire Braindamage Crew. Everything we do here is based upon the kind of entertainment that he created. Strange and I grew up with Micheal and were alive during the Thriller and Bad eras. We have never in our lives known a bigger star, and his passing has left us reeling. I remember playing with the official Michael Jackson doll, its surreal. My sister almost fainted when Michael first moon-walked across the stage at the Grammy's!" Perhaps,one of today's biggest pop stars--Britney Spears--said it best: "He's been an inspiration throughout my entire life and I'm devastated he's gone."


We will all miss Michael Jackson and pray that his family will find peace.


What better way to remember Michael than though the lens of his amazing career--
