So Obscure that only ilovekatamari would know

I was looking through Cracked for an article that I wanted to post about "Psychonauts," and remembered that it included the movie "Freaked." I have to admit, Mr. T in a dress is a pretty convincing argument for me to watch ANYTHING.

Example 1.

"Battlefield Earth"
Control response: Damn you, this makes no sense!
Mr. T w/ dress added: Holy shit, Mr. T's here! I hope he beats the shit out of Jon Travolta, that mananimal!

Example 2.

Reese's Peanut Butter cereal commercials
Control response: WHY DO YOU KEEP TELLING THEM ABOUT YOUR GODDAMN BREAKFAST?!
Mr. T w/ dress added: Holy shit, it's Mr. T! IN A DRESS! Kids, hide the drugged milk!

Example 3.

American Idol
Control response: Why am I watching this?
Mr. T w/ dress added: I'm going to watch this every day until I die!

Example 4.

1-800-COLLECT commercials
Control response: Yay! It's Mr. T!
Mr. T w/ dress added: Yay! It's Mr. T! In a dress!

While this is indeed very useful to know to someone (all one-twentieth of you), the most interesting thing was looking up Alex Winter. You know, Alex Winter, the other guy from "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure." As I was poring through his forum, I noticed something: alex-1076 IS Alex Winters! As we speak, I am holding down my excitement from fathoming how awesome that is. He also mentioned that there was a better ending of Bogus Journey that was never used, involving them fighting their fears instead and all that other stuff instead of them going to heaven.

And for the rest of you that don't know who Alex Winter is, I shake my head in shame at you.

I just died and went to heaven. I had such a hardcore crush on that guy, ever since Lost Boys. Didn't really like Freaked that much, but great info. I've just looked at all of his entries...sweet!

I agree. It's so awesome knowing he's still in the business. From what I've heard, Ralph Machio is also in his sitch nowadays. He actually looks... unpedaphilic for once.

LOVE Alex Winter. First saw him in "Lost Boys" as "Cute Vampire #3" (I think his name was Marko in the film) then of course Bill and Ted. I remember his show on MTV, but that didn't last long. Too weird. What is he up to, anyway?

From what I've read, he's actually doing directing these days. He's interested in acting too, but most of his time is spent writing scripts and, as you can see, hanging out on IMDB.

That is supertastic. Would you believe I had Freaked in my Netflix queue until I had to cancel Netflix? Of course you would, ha! Too bad I didn't get that far in my queue or I'd have a pirated copy of it.

And now I can e-stalk Alex Winter! Sweet!

You and me both! :D

Did you see the thread on him and Keanu? It's so awesome that despite their career choices they're still buddies. Bill and Ted not being together even now would be so wrong.

No, I didn't get a chance to read the threads, but I bookmarked them for later perusal. I'll definitely have to check that out!
