Right before double-ya, double-ya two

I’m half paying attention to the Grammy’s and I just wanted to bring this to your attention. Tina Turner is 71, y’all. And she was still strutting around that stage and belting it out like someone who, well, wasn’t 71. I’m not saying there wasn’t some obvious plastic surgery, but if I can haul my carcass off my Craftmatic adjustable bed (or futuristic equivalent) at that age, I’ll be happy.

Anyway, I’d embed a clip but they aren’t up yet. Here’s Feist’s My Moon, My Man, though.[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/zWrNCCx2p5U" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Music snobby side notes:

  • Kid Rock — who the hell do you think you are? Trashy redneck greaseball does not equal smokey jazz crooner. Hands off the ghost of Sammy Davis.
  • Foo Fighters.  Winners of best rock album.  So beyond relevant.
  • I can’t tell whether it was funny or sad that Jason Bateman explicitly stated the lameness of his hosting gig.
  • It was strange looking at the heap of plastic, metal and feathers that used to be Cher.
  • Don’t pay attention to Kanye, he won’t keep acting out.

Giveaway: Justice League – The New Frontier

We’re super, thanks for asking.

Guess what? New giveaway!

Good old Jorge has e-mailed us with another giveaway opportunity — this time for the new animated movie Justice League: The New Frontier, which lands in stores on Feb. 26.

 

The New Frontier apparently explores the origins of the Justice League (including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and The Flash) and finds them teaming up against “a monster so formidable, even the mighty Superman cannot stop it alone.”

If it hadn’t been removed a thousand times by YouTube, I’d embed the Super Friends clip by The State. The one where they tell Aquaman to go “talk to some fish.”

Side note: the press release’s spare use of thematic verbs yields another disappointment. The only one I could spot was that the DVDs would “soar onto shelves.”

To enter, e-mail us at tifaux -at- gmail -dot- com with the subject line “Green lantern jaw.” It’s like the Before and After category on Wheel of Fortune.
