If you could draw a Venn diagram with cheesy '80s movie lovers in one circle and 30 Rock fans in the other, I'm pretty sure the intersection would be this week's "Senor Macho Solo" episode, which featured the endearingly dweeby Kenneth Parcells (Jack McBrayer) rapping the "Top That" song from Teen Witch. Only this time, I'm pretty sure nobody was exclaiming, "I'm so embarrassed. Look how funky he Read more
OK, putting aside for a moment how much I so thoroughly can't imagine Teen Witch being palatable outside of the 1980s — even more so than most of the remakes being done these days — I am curious about the casting for it. Apparently, High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale may take on the role of Louise Miller, "the unpopular girl who discovers that she's a descendant of witches — and Read more
Today, I launched a new feature on BuzzSugar called Defend This, where I ask you guys to justify your so-bad-it's-good fixations. So I thought I'd devote this week's Buzzworthy challenge to guilty pleasure '80s movies. My top pick has got to be Mannequin, starring Andrew McCarthy, Kim Cattrall, and, of course, Estelle Getty. I rented it so often as a kid that my parents often felt the need to Read more
Who doesn't love a good '80s movie? The shoulder pads, the hair bands, the abnormally large cell phones — many Hollywood films have tried to recreate the feeling of the era through film, including this week's release Take Me Home Tonight. The film's cast already had fun re-enacting classic '80s film scenes, but it got me thinking about other films that pay tribute to the beloved decade. Here Read more

Ready to get romantic? For this installment of buzz lines, I want to hear your favorite quotes from a romance classic, Say Anything.

It's the end of the year, which means we'll start looking forward to 2012 soon. But first, we want to look back — way back — at our best nostalgic posts of the year. Whether we were reminiscing about growing up in the '80s and '90s or shaking our heads at sexist (and, at times, humorous) vintage advertising, this year has been full of fun and educational throwbacks. Even the TV shows and Read more
If you're a fan of the Rock of Ages musical, you might find yourself cheering and clapping along with the trailer for the big-screen version of the show. If you're like me (who has never seen the show), then you might be a little more confused as to what this movie is actually about. The preview does a fine job of playing up its selling points: there's a huge cast (that features Alec Baldwin, Tom Read more
With all the award shows, movie premieres, and fashion events that occurred this year, it was only natural that the glitterati would bring out the big guns.
