Epic Win: Chris Farley

Jan. 13, 2010

Submitted by Cameron C, who lives in a van…down by the river.

Christopher Crosby “Chris” Farley achieved great fame and popularity in the ’90s for his work on SNL (memorable characters include Matt Foley, a motivational speaker of questionable methods, and one of the “Gap Girls” with David Spade and Adam Sandler [featured in the clip above]). He also starred in a handful of successful films (Tommy Boy, Black Sheep, and Beverly Hills Ninja, most notably). In late 1997, Mr. Farley passed away from from a drug overdose and heart attack after a year of highly-publicized ill health and addiction problems.

Epic Win: Bruce Lee

Jan. 5, 2010

Submitted by Cahn S, martial arts novice.

Even those of us who have never seen a Bruce Lee film know who Bruce Lee was. We know he was a world class martial arts expert and film star. He starred in 20 films before he turned 18, but he is especially well known for later films like Enter the Dragon. He died young, at the age of 32. His son, Brandon Lee, also a famous actor, died at the age of 20 while filming The Crow. They are buried side-by-side at the Lakeview Cemetery in Seattle, Washington.

Epic Win: Headbangers Ball

Jul. 14, 2009

Submitted by Melanie H

Music Videos on MTV deserve a Win for nostalgia by themselves, but then you throw in metal and it becomes Epic. Why’d you love The Ball? Who was your favorite artist that you discovered during the wee-hours that Headbangers Ball broadcast?

Epic Win: Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Jul. 10, 2009

“This means something. This is important.”

Richard Dreyfus’ slow decline into insanity and the revelation that he wasn’t really insane, coupled with Steven Speilberg’s incredible vision and cinematography for the time period made Close Encounters of the Third Kind a totally Epic Win. Anyone old enough to remember the film can probably still hum the first few notes that aliens played after the landed, not to mention the most memorable line in the film, as Richard Dreyfus builds a mountain of mashed potatoes.

If you’re a young’un who’s never seen CEo3K, you should go out and rent it so you can see what good storytelling used to look like.
