A Great Wedding Entrance

They choreographed the entrance well, and danced to the song "Forever" by Chris Brown.



Their video, once it was on YouTube, became popular in only a week, with 10 million views on YouTube. Once the rights holders of the song found out, they could of had YouTube take the song out of the video, but instead decided to put a link on the video to allow people to buy the song.

It worked, and the song itself is popular again, too. Read all about it at: www.googleblog.blogspot.com.

Top 100 Songs of 1959

Earlier I wrote about 1958. I decided to do a list for 1959.

Some of these songs you will recognize, since they are still popular. Some you may recognize the singer, or the song, but not both. Take a step back in time, to fifty years ago, and hear what we heard on the radio, or listened to on our record players.

I got the list from www.OldFortyFives.com.

If you like this list of songs with videos, you can find other lists at: www.chaosgone.blogspot.com.

The Gloaming

Don't work too late.

From: andrewhu

The Gloaming takes office space to an eerie dimension following the misfortune of a worker ensnared by his cubicle and haunted by sinister visitors during the nightshift. A tale of macabre absurdity, The Gloaming plunges this unwitting protagonist into a cycle of nightmares.

Director: Andrew Huang
Starring Randall Rickert

The Dead Elvi

Looking for Halloween Rock ‘n Roll? Then, you need to go no further than The Dead Elvi.

According to their site TheDeadElvi:

Back in 1993, when the Chiller Theatre convention moved to a larger venue and a ballroom became available, promoter Kevin Clement asked his friend Chris Palmerini if he could help put together a band so Kevin could put on a costume ball. Thus was the birth of the Dead Elvi! Little did they think that twelve years later they'd still be performing, appear in several movie soundtracks, have a cut on a Rob Zombie CD, and appear on at least a dozen 'Something Weird' DVDs. The band consists of Kevin Clement on guitar, Chris Palmerini on lead guitar and vocals, John Kullberg on lead vocals and guitar, Tom Seesselberg on drums, and Steve Geller on bass and vocals. The Dead Elvi have performed with numerous national acts, famous musicians, and celebrities, and have developed a large cult following.

Vantage Point

Bad trailer, for a good movie.

“Eight strangers. Eight points of view. One truth.”



When I first saw this trailer, I thought it would be a movie that would cover eight people’s points of view about a single event, in this case, the president getting shot. So, I figured that most of the movie would be about getting statements from these eight people to determine what happened that day. Fortunately, that was not the case.

I just saw the movie on DVD at a friend’s house. While there are eight people, they are not all strangers to each other. Some of them have a part in what happens that day. While the first part of the movie goes over and over (from different people’s point of view) what happens right before and after the president gets shot, there is more to the movie than that.

Once we get a good idea what is going on, then the movie starts to make sense, and the good guys go after the bad guys.

If you like explosions, and car chases, you should like this movie. I did. It moves right along.
