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.

Enter For A Chance To Win Pass To See MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS on December 5th at 7:30 PM in Austin. MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS explores the turbulent life of Mary Stuart ( Saoirse Ronan ). Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne alongside her cousin Elizabeth I ( Margot Robbie ), who rules as England’s Queen. Rivals in power and in love, and female monarchs in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty. Betrayal, rebellion, and conspiracies within each court imperil both thrones – and change the course of history.

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert?

By
Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...

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...
