Rejected #TERMINATOR Music Video From 1984. "TERMINATE OUR LOVE"

By
THE ART OF PARODY IS ALIVE AND WELL WITH THE PREMIERE OF L.B. RAYNE'S TERMINATE OUR LOVE MUSIC VIDEO

A vault of rejected music videos for popular 80s films by an obscure musician is Joe & Doug Bresler's contribution to the art of parody.



Parody is not what it used to be. With the advent of YouTube, the canvas for this once great art form has been deformed and exploited in every way imaginable, creating a genuine state of uncertainty for the genre as a whole. The days of "Weird Al" Yankovic's brilliant music video premieres on MTV and feature films like "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun" feel like a thing of the past. That's where L.B. Rayne swoops in to save the day. Created by brothers Joe and Doug Bresler, Laurence Butler Rayne is the quintessential hack who never quite got his big break in the entertainment industry, and like many failed artists, has an inventory of embarrassing efforts to show for it.

Doug Bresler is the founder of Doogtoons, an animation company with a number of high profile clients including Google, Fox Sports, Cinemax and even "Weird Al" Yankovic who tends to make cameo appearances in Doug's work. While Yankovic certainly brings a certificate of authenticity, L.B. Rayne stands on its own as truly brilliant parody work that has proven to resonate with a growing cult audience. Summoning the effeminate traits of Michael Jackson, Prince, and musical styles exclusive to the 80s (think Lionel Richie) L.B. Rayne, complete with a jery curl and thick black sunglasses (looking like Giorgio Moroder in his prime), created theme songs for a ton of 1980s movies including "Tron", "Raiders of The Lost Ark", "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back", and the latest discovery 1984's "The Terminator" as well as many more that have never seen the light of day… until now! The fake narrative is comprehensive. A producer by the name of Hal Lowenstein seems to be responsible for this inventory of wasted money. While unconfirmed, there is a theory going around that Hal Lowenstein is in fact L.B. Rayne's father!

Terminate Our Love is Doug's sixth entry in the epic saga of L.B. Rayne music videos. Like the previous efforts, the attention to schlocky detail is impeccable and the song is undeniably catchy.

Movie Review: #Vacation

By Matt Cummings
Vacation makes me want to take a STAY-cation. Review by Matt Cummings It's not too often that a movie makes me wish film never existed, yet her I am ready to give the newest Vacation all the hate it deserves. And hate on it I will. Grown-up Rusty (Ed Helms) is stuck in a dull marriage to Debbie (Christina Applegate), who's been forced year after year to spend vacation with her family at a cabin in Michigan. When the overly optimistic Rusty realizes his family needs a change, he packs them up for a trip to Walley World, the site of his greatest trip as a teen. But soon, his family begins to encounter difficulties and flat-out disasters that could end their road trip and return Rusty's marriage back to square one. It might surprise our readers to know that someone from our team actually considered walking out of Vacation , and we get to see these films for free. That's how bad our experience became as we sat mesmerized by its 99 minutes of ineptit...

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
