Dennis Ayers and Ed Kennedy are both trying to survive the sweltering heat and power outage on the U.S. east coast, and hopefully things will be back to normal for them soon. In the meantime, we know how you love Ed's brilliantly curated daily compilation of internet odds and ends, so we're asking for help crowdsourcing this edition of the Weekend Meme! Got a link, video, hot news item, etc. you think other readers would enjoy? As long as it's P.G. rated, please share in the comments!
I do have a few items to get the ball rolling...
- Above you can see eight classic 80's movies. Can you name them? And you get BONUS POINTS if you can figure out the super secret hidden message!
- Ted and Magic Mike are both wildly overperforming at the box office this weekend, with the former expected to rake in $50 Million and the latter $45 Million.
- Poor Bristol. I give it two more weeks before it's pulled entirely.
- Disney is developing an animated movie based on the Marvel comic Big Hero 6. The superheroes are Sunfire, Silver Samurai, GoGo Tomago, Honey Lemon, Hiro Takachiho, and
BetamaxBaymax. Wait a minute! Honey Lemon? Any relation to Apple Spice?
- Roger Federer and wife Mirka doing their best to piss off Anna Wintour. BTW, Federbear is now favored to win his seventh Wimbledon title now that the butt-picking wedgie boy has been sent packing.
- Op-ed: Cyndi Lauper on Ending LGBT Youth Homelessness
- I'll have a leg, a thigh, and a side of ... braaaaains.
- Expect plenty of this in the weeks to come.
- Finally, a happy belated birthday to 70's and 80's hunk god Leigh McCloskey, who turned 57 last week.
- Okay, your turn!
