Friday LinkFrogging – 4/15/11

Greetings from the Land of ‘Geek kids.

Today would normally be Tax Day, but since Washington, D.C. is closed down for Emancipation Day (?) you’ve got until Monday to “render unto Caesar.”

Until then, why don’t you let us take your mind off all that with some links and cheesecake.

This week’s selection is the very rare double dip.  True, we’ve been featuring two pictures of our weekly selections for some time now, but today, for only the second time ever, we’ll be featuring two different ladies.

Why?

Simple really. 

Scream 4 opens today and as Wes Craven attempts to resurrect his Ghostface slasher franchise, we thought we’d do our part by featuring the ladies most associated with the franchise.

First up, above, say hello to Courtney Cox.

The former Friend and current resident of Cougar Town (make your own joke.  They do.), Ms. Cox plays intrepid reporter Gale Weathers in the series.  She’s been stalked by the Ghostface killer and David Arquette.  She escaped the killer, but got knocked up and cheated on by Arquette.  I don’t think that would have happened if she’d stuck with Bat-Man.  He’s single-minded that way.

Recently, the paparazzi caught her in the nearly obligatory “nip slip” while on vacation.  Never one to miss an opportunity, David Letterman asked about the incident while showing the picture on his show earlier this week.  Good thing he’s a friend of Bat-Man.

That’s Michael Keaton kids.

 

 Up next, we’ve got Neve Campbell.  Ms. Campbell plays Sidney Prescott, the de facto heroine of the Scream movies.  She also spent some time with the Salinger five and practicing her Craft.  Still, perhaps her most famous non-Screamy cinematic moment is likely her pool makeout with former cheesecake/Mrs. Sheen, Denise Richards in Wild Things.

That’s why they make the Google kids.

On to the links.

Friday LinkFrogging – 1/28/11

Metallic reflection

If you build it, they will come. It worked out just fine in ‘Field of Dreams’ and it seems to be going well as a potential philosophy around here. I only say potential because so far we haven’t spent much time philosophizing about what the hell we’re up to here at GG HQ. But that’s the way it should be. We are you. You are us. If we like it, we’re 99% sure you will too. And if you don’t, the other 1% does!

See how that works. Action, not words.

In that spirit, please allow me to introduce this week’s LinkFrogging cheesecake hostess, Maria Brink. Ms. Brink fronts LA-based metal band In This Moment, who are 3 albums into a five-year career and currently on tour as part of the Music As A Weapon 2011 tour with Korn, Disturbed, and Sevendust.

No, she doesn’t act. She’s not in any video games or on any reality TV shows. What she does is rock. And that’s why we’ve brought her here today. Aamir and I have started a heavy metal blogcast that will be hosted here on GonzoGeek. The pilot episode will be out early next week. And we’ll be going at it every other week from that point forward. Have a listen. Get to know us this time around. The guests will follow in future episodes.

In the meantime, team GG has once again scoured the web, pulling together a series of delights for your amazement and amusement in the latest installment of our longest-running and most-viewed feature yet, LinkFrogging.

Come, let us see what Ms. Brink has hidden behind Door #3.

 

Friday LinkFrogging – 9/10/10

First things first, thanks, once again to Chris for filling in for me so ably on our weekly jaunt around the web.  Well done sir.  Well done!

Can you feel it?  Summer is fading and fall is in the air.

Football, of every kind, is back underway.

The Boys of Summer are heading into the home stretch and looking for the next Mr. October (or is it November now?).

The networks are blasting us with promos for new fall shows.

As we roll toward the holidays and the inevitable Black Friday that is to come, let’s sit back and enjoy this week’s cheesecake, shall we?

Say hello to Milla Jojovich star of today’s new cinematic release, Resident Evil:  Afterlife.

Ms. Jojovich’s geek cred is strong.  In addition to the Resident Evil franchise, she has starred in such other geek fare as The Fifth Element, Ultraviolet, Zoolander and the seminal 70s high school stoner flick, Dazed and Confused.

VH1 referred to her as “the reigning queen of kick-butt.”  Hard to argue.
