It was a sold-out show and a raging success! The band performed most, if not all, of CCR's biggest hits, and it was led by vocalist Steve McLain (awesome singer, John Fogerty soundalike) and guitarist Jimmy Ryan (who has an extensive classic rock background, including with Carly Simon). Me and my friend Mike (@legopopculture8635) got balcony tickets to this outstanding performance last evening, and it was the perfect way, we agreed, to kick off our fall semester. In this clip, Commotion is performing the final bit of CCR's Travelin' Band.

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED WHATSOEVER.Full Metal Jacket - HBO airing (6/10/2006) - Feature Presentation/introWolf King 20052026-09-10 | I'm guessing this is legitimate, because according to the HBO/Cinemax guide from June 2006, HBO aired Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (1987) at 3:05am on the 10th. You can never be too sure on the internet these days, so I added the excerpt from the guide at the beginning. However, when it comes to the UP NEXT bumper, it looked real, but my issue is: is the announcer's voice real? To some, it might sound like a TTS voice, and I've seen mid-2000s HBO bumpers on YouTube with the announcer having a robotic voice, as if it came from a Vyond/GoAnimate video. Judge for yourself, here's the source: archive.org/details/hbo-us-continuity-june-10-2006

You've waited long enough. This number, "You'll Run Away", is inspired by an unknown pop track in a Sventoonie episode, where they showcase and review the movie Snowbeast. So naturally, I took the chorus that got stuck in my head and developed it into what we like to jokingly call it, the (unintentional) stalkers' national anthem. 🤣 Remember pimento??

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Collector's Edition 1994 VHS (episodes: "The Mind's Eye" and "In Theory")Wings (1927) - restored opening credits [4K]Wolf King 20052026-09-08 | Here's the opening credits sequence of the silent aviation epic "Wings", directed by William A. Wellman, released in 1927, the first ever Academy Award-winning movie for Best Picture, and pretty much one of the greatest pieces of early American cinema ever made. A (highly successful) Paramount Pictures release, Wings ultimately inspired filmmaker Howard Hughes to film his own high-scale aviation epic, "Hell's Angels", released in 1930. This intro features the sweeping 2012 restoration score (originally composed by J.S. Zamecnik), re-orchestrated by Dominik Hauser, in 4K master. On modern prints of Wings, it features an awesome Paramount Pictures logo montage set to the overture (from the 2010 logo down to the 1940 logo), before starting the film with its original 1927 Paramount logo in beautiful sepia tone. The movie stars Clara Bow, Richard Arlen, Charles "Buddy" Rogers, and Gary Cooper, to name a few major cast members.

Around the end, Elton John performs on stage with the fictional rock band as they perform their iconic song "Stonehenge", but something goes wrong and it results in both of Elton's legs being broken along with a few other injured members of the band, and this is when Elton angrily calls out "F-CK SPINAL TAP!!!" 🤣 The next part is during the end credits sequence right afterwards, the aftermath with a miffed Elton in the hospital as Marti DiBergi (Reiner) tries to work it out with him, but to little avail.
Fun fact: while Lionsgate acted as purely a home video/digital licensing history for the film, they do not own the movie nor have they ever acquired the rights to it. The actual "acquisition" of Pumping Iron belongs to Schwarzenegger himself, who, in 1991, personally purchased the movie along with all of its unreleased outtakes from George Butler, the director of the renowned fitness documentary (which also stars Lou Ferrigno, who competed with Arnold for the title of 1975's Mr. Olympia, which is the premise of the doc), for $1.25 million.
Today, Pumping Iron remains one of the Cinema 5 Distribution's most iconic films alongside the Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" (1970) and Barbara Kopple's "Harlan County USA" (1976).

The visual similarity is completely intentional because Sony Pictures Classics modeled their specific logo design as a direct homage to the classic Cinema 5 text layout.
The connection between these two independent distribution houses is built on shared executive history:
• The Cinema 5 Era: Cinema 5 was a prominent independent film distributor in the 1960s and 1970s, famously bringing classic arthouse cinema, documentaries, and foreign features like Monty Python and the Holy Grail and The Garden of the Finzi-Continis to American audiences. • The Executive Legacy: When the legendary distribution heads Michael Barker, Tom Bernard, and Marcie Bloom later went on to launch Sony Pictures Classics in 1992, they utilized this ultra-minimalist, stark blue background with a single clean font and dividing lines. • The Purpose: They used this visual style specifically when distributing or re-releasing classic catalog titles that were originally brought to theaters by Cinema 5 . The design serves as a quiet badge of honor for the history of independent, auteur-driven cinema.Interesting closings to early Columbia Pictures Home Entertainment VHS tapes (circa. 1980)Wolf King 20052026-08-26 | This really is a fun piece of home video Easter egg trivia!

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED WHATSOEVER.Thief (1981) - end credits [HD]Wolf King 20052026-08-20 | Here's the end credits sequence of Michael Mann's directorial debut masterpiece of neo-noir cinema, Thief, starring the late great James Caan. The movie also stars Willie Nelson, Jim Belushi, and Tuesday Weld. And it was co-produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Ronnie Caan (James' brother). This was one of Mann's movies of criminal masterminds that eventually paved the way for his later works, such as Heat, Collateral, and Public Enemies.
The soundtrack score was performed by German electronic rock band Tangerine Dream, this particular piece (performed by Craig Safan) an exact soundalike of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb", which was meant to play at the end during the explosive climax through the credits, but Michael Mann failed to secure the rights for it.
