BLUE HAWAII – Elvis

Elvis Presley Picture Slideshow Movie In HD. Blue Hawaii (1961) is quintessential Elvis: plenty of songs, plenty of girls, and a setting that accents both. This time, the scene is Oahu and Kauai and the girls are his sweetheart (Joan Blackman), an attractive school teacher (Nancy Walters) and her four teenage students. The film also represents one of the biggest successes in the long collaboration between Hollywood powerhouse producer Hal B. Wallis and Presley. The legendary Wallis (Casablanca [1942], Rooster Cogburn, [1975]) first encountered Presley on a 1956 broadcast of a Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey show and predicted to his wife that “Elvis would soon be the most talked about newcomer in the business.” He called Colonel Tom Parker the next day and told him he’d like to sign Elvis to a film contract. “I knew instinctively that the Colonel was interested but playing it cool. He was a genius at getting every possible inch of financial mileage out of his astonishing protégé,” Wallis said in his autobiography Starmaker. After badgering Parker, Wallis finally succeeded in getting Elvis to Hollywood for a meeting and a screen-test, the results of which were electric: When I ran the test I felt the same thrill I experienced when I first saw Errol Flynn on the screen. Elvis, in a very different, modern way, had exactly the same power, virility, and sexual drive. The camera caressed him Under Wallis’ tutelage – and Parker’s approval – the camera would continue to caress Elvis …

Rammstein – Haifisch Official Video HD

“Haifisch” (German: “Shark”) is the third single from the 2009 album Liebe ist für alle da by the German band Rammstein. Right before announcing the video premier, the info letter from Rammstein’s website left this quote regarding the song: “the shark not only has teeth — he’s got tears as well. But since it lives in the briny deep, no one sees them. A shame. After all, this cartilaginous fish is one of the oldest of the world’s many misunderstood creatures. A bit more sympathy couldn’t hurt!” The chorus to the song is an allusion to the lyrics to Mack the Knife, a song written by Berthold Brecht for his play the Threepenny Opera. Haifisch reached 33 in the German charts, but fell off the very next week. The music video was released on 23 April 2010 on the band’s MySpace page. The video features the band at lead singer Till Lindemann’s funeral along with some other mourners, one of whom is Marilyn Manson. A fight breaks out between two women who have had Till’s children. Meanwhile, the rest of the band contemplate on who should replace Till as the singer (Henry Rollins and James Hetfield are shown as suggestions, with Hetfield presumably being picked, as his picture was shown more than once, as well as being pointed to by one of the band members). As the video continues, Till is lowered into his grave enscripted “endlich allein” (German: “finally alone”) and many scenarios are shown of how Till died, which are all based on previous Rammstein videos: being beaten and set …
