TrailerClub: Party Girl
Party Girl (1995) [Original Post]
I was happy in the nineties. Obnoxiously so. I consumed the world ravenously, but I missed Party Girl. A lot of people did, apparently. It's become a bit of a rediscovered classic. I think it's part of the Criterion Collection now. I'm glad it is. Sure, it's nostalgic to revisit a 1995 that means something to me, but isn't always on screen. I'd like to think there's a little bit more than that in play, though. Parker Posey cracks me up. She's subtly hilarious and in fine form in Party Girl. I still haven't decided how best to compare this to Clueless -- the better remembered "chick flick"from '95. Clueless, but for cool people? Clueless, but for twenty-somethings? Clueless, but in New York? I don't know. It's just the kind of movie that Clueless kinda eclipsed, against better judgment. Music, fashion, a whole scene. Enjoyed the heck out of this. Even with Liev Schrieber playing a very dubious English would-be sex offender.

Songbook Xtended: Bedtime Story
Madonna - Bedtime Story (1995) [Original Post]
I suppose this song represents a breakthrough of some sorts. After a week of mourning a loved one it was the first new song to enter the CD Club Songbook. A song I haven't thought about in a long time, drifting to the surface because of something overheard somewhere. It's (literally) Madonna doing Bjork, with the kind of music video production we can only dream of these days. A welcome step in Madonna's evolution through the nineties, but not quite the brilliance that would follow a couple of years later with the Ray of Light album. A nice cool dip before she full submerged herself with William Orbit and ultimate became Frozen.

Infinite Wars: Bat Family vs Neron's Villains
GOTHAM HEROES versus BLOCKBUSTER, METALLO & GORILLA GRODDSeduction of the Innocent (DC)
Where: Underworld Unleashed #3 When: Late December 1995 Why: Mark Waid How: Howard Porter
The Story So Far...
Hell has a new ruler and his name is Neron. This powerful devil comes baring a simple offer to those who will take it: great power in exchange for their immortal soul!
The demon's temptation lures many whose heart is darkened by desire. Roland Desmond receives the power of Blockbuster with the retention of a brilliant criminal mind; John Corben accepts the ability to summon a new Metallo body from nearby metals so he'll never be crippled again; and Gorilla Grodd enhances his powerful mind with the knowledge to take control of Gorilla City.
While the most powerful members of the Justice League enter the underworld on a mission to stop Neron -- his army of villains spread chaos and terror across a troubled Earth. The remaining heroes of Gotham City must scramble to stop the enhanced villains as they attempt to hijack nuclear weapons!
