Back in 2007, J.D. and I were contestants on VH1‘s second (and last) season of “World Series of Pop Culture.” We immediately felt a nerdy trivia kinship with all the other competitors, so when castmates Warren McPherson and Smitha Chadaga said they were making a mockumentary about what happens to game show contestants AFTER the […]

Just got this from Overture Films: Michael Moore’s next documentary, CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY, opening nationwide on October 2, 2009. This trailer contains the first footage available from the film, and as you’ll see, the timeliness of the topics it explores will surely resonate with all audiences. “It’s got it all — lust, passion, romance, […]

I just heard KISS’ new song “Modern Day Delilah.” It’s the first single from 2009’s “Sonic Boom,” KISS’ first new album in 11 years. Listen to the mp3 here or download it if you like … but I have to say … It is tough being a KISS fan these days. I appreciate their tenacity. […]

It’s taken me almost a week (and two trips to the doctor) to come down completely from my amazing experience at the U.S. Air Guitar Championships last Friday in Washington, D.C. I, as Mean Melin, competed against 24 other air guitarists from all over the country who share the same affinity for rock n’ roll […]

This is really, really cool. In anticipation of competing in the U.S. Air Guitar Championship in Washington, D.C. Friday night, The Pitch‘s Justin Kendall has written an awesome coverstory on my past movie/TV/rock exploits and air guitar future. Click here to read the entire thing (5 pages!) or click here to see a video I […]

Why Paramount isn’t showing “G.I. Joe” to critics Here’s an AP article about why Paramount isn’t showing “G.I. Joe” to critics. All I can say is that if they were so worried by the “critical trashing ‘Transformers: Rise of the Fallen’ received,” then what do they have to fear? Here in KC, there’s been lots […]

Wow. I’ve been on my fair share of game shows, but this is something special. He may not have won the game, but John certainly made an impression this afternoon on “Jeopardy.” It’s not just his attention-grabbing sparkly new scarf either. Check out the way he wrote his name. Well played, sir. It kind of […]

You know, these kinds of sites bug the crap out of me. It is utterly ridiculous to watch a film and count the dirty words, instances of nudity, or whatever little moment trips your moral compass up. It’s even sillier to then print them out on a website, completely free of context, and try to […]

Last night on “Late Show with David Letterman,” Sacha Baron Cohen responded to the host about his reality-based humor being difficult to pull off and dangerous to carry out in public by saying, “I won’t do it again.” It doesn’t surprise me. What’s fascinating is finding out what amount of the shoot was planned, what […]

“Public Enemies” hits theaters this week, and one of our regular contributors at Scene-Stealers—blogger extraordinaire Whitney Mathews—was reminded that her great aunt witnessed a Murder, Inc. mob hit in 1932, around the same time as the film takes place. The hit itself and having to testify in front of the hitmen who committed the crime […]

What a shock! For the first time since 1943, there will be ten Oscar nominees for Best Picture and not five. The 2010 Academy Awards will have 10 movies in the Best Picture category. Wow– that was way out of left field. It’s a little late for “The Dark Knight” and “Wall-E,” but at least […]

So I may have broken something in my foot and I definitely split my pants doing a sweet knee slide during “Ace of Spades,” but it’s all worth it because Tuesday night I won the title of Kansas City regional champ in the US Air Guitar Championships. I’ll be rocking out with 25 other regional […]

I got into a pretty heated IM argument with longtime Scene-Stealers sitegoer Phil Fava from Vineland, NJ this morning on the future of 3D. We covered a lot of serious ground and it echoed sentiment I’ve heard before, so I reprinted it here with his permission (language and all). What do you think about 3D? […]

Wow. You know, this sounds cheesy, but it’s true: They couldn’t have picked a better band to do the theme for the new “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” movie. Cheap Trick is one of those bands that has been around through so many fads and popular music trends that it has only strengthened their sound. […]

I’m so proud of our sitegoers. Less than a week ago, I said we would give away 50 free passes for a KC advance screening of “The Hangover” to the readers with the best hangover/Vegas/drunk/bachelor party stories. We only had two days, though, to collect them all and give out the tickets. Boy, did you […]
