Pop Cult Discoveries

During my adolescence I discovered a lot of odd and interesting music and pop culture-related images and footage. Due to the magic of the internet, I was later able to Google them and see if anyone else had noticed the same things. Sure enough a lot of these have been discussed or explained online. This is an ongoing list of cool or strange things I have found in films, images, video games, and more. Discovery #1: Saddam Hussein makes cameo in Marx Brothers movie. I had just bought my last Marx Brothers DVD boxed set. I popped in my favorite Marx brothers movie of all time...Duck Soup. I was enjoying myself until the scene "Were going to war" came. Groucho announced that "Freedonia" was going to war. Every admiral got a chance to belt during the war song...my heart stopped when I saw what appeared to be Saddam Hussein. "Oh my god is that Saddam Hussein!?" I cried out. We skipped back immediately...and it wasn't Saddam himself but a clone. And i...

The Labyrinth audience participation and prop list

   This is an audience participation guide for Jim Henson's “Labyrinth” movie from 1986.   This guide is similar to the Rocky Horror Picture Show participation and prop list . Because the film is different and PG rated, some rules differ. An audience participation guide is similar to a drinking game sans the alcohol. Certain events trigger certain phrases or fun activities to make the movie more fun and interactive. The RHPS guide is usually done alongside a live performance of Rocky Horror in front of the screen, but this guide isn't ( yet! ) adapted for that. This guide was created after watching the Labyirnth and Rocky Horror Picture Show several times, including studying RHPS guides. --------------------------------------------- The Labyrinth guide is still a work in progress , if you have comments of idea on how to improve this please feel free to contact me  Beccajs@gmail.com --------------------------------------------- Labyrinth costu...

My Big Labyrinth post!

Happy 25th anniversary to the Labyrinth!  Last night I was lucky enough to see a live screening of the Labyrinth on it's anniversary, but I was also able to see some cast members! Last night was a special treat that I am grateful I was able to make...but jusssst barely! For some reason I've had this Labyrinth curse in recent times. I've tried to see the film at numerous screenings and was always out of luck when I showed up to the ticket counter...even when I was early. I was pretty sure up until a day ago that it was simply not meant to be. Curse is over, I made it! I showed up hours early this time so there was no room for error, and was first in line! I quickly made friends with the people lining up behind me, which eventually wrapped down the Castro. Eventually people started to form a second line, which I wasn't a fan of. I showed up early and I was afraid I'd have to get mean. I only had to get a little mean :) maybe everyone could see the urgency ...
