Rejected #TERMINATOR Music Video From 1984. "TERMINATE OUR LOVE"

By
THE ART OF PARODY IS ALIVE AND WELL WITH THE PREMIERE OF L.B. RAYNE'S TERMINATE OUR LOVE MUSIC VIDEO

A vault of rejected music videos for popular 80s films by an obscure musician is Joe & Doug Bresler's contribution to the art of parody.



Parody is not what it used to be. With the advent of YouTube, the canvas for this once great art form has been deformed and exploited in every way imaginable, creating a genuine state of uncertainty for the genre as a whole. The days of "Weird Al" Yankovic's brilliant music video premieres on MTV and feature films like "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun" feel like a thing of the past. That's where L.B. Rayne swoops in to save the day. Created by brothers Joe and Doug Bresler, Laurence Butler Rayne is the quintessential hack who never quite got his big break in the entertainment industry, and like many failed artists, has an inventory of embarrassing efforts to show for it.

Doug Bresler is the founder of Doogtoons, an animation company with a number of high profile clients including Google, Fox Sports, Cinemax and even "Weird Al" Yankovic who tends to make cameo appearances in Doug's work. While Yankovic certainly brings a certificate of authenticity, L.B. Rayne stands on its own as truly brilliant parody work that has proven to resonate with a growing cult audience. Summoning the effeminate traits of Michael Jackson, Prince, and musical styles exclusive to the 80s (think Lionel Richie) L.B. Rayne, complete with a jery curl and thick black sunglasses (looking like Giorgio Moroder in his prime), created theme songs for a ton of 1980s movies including "Tron", "Raiders of The Lost Ark", "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back", and the latest discovery 1984's "The Terminator" as well as many more that have never seen the light of day… until now! The fake narrative is comprehensive. A producer by the name of Hal Lowenstein seems to be responsible for this inventory of wasted money. While unconfirmed, there is a theory going around that Hal Lowenstein is in fact L.B. Rayne's father!

Terminate Our Love is Doug's sixth entry in the epic saga of L.B. Rayne music videos. Like the previous efforts, the attention to schlocky detail is impeccable and the song is undeniably catchy.

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

By
If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do." One departure...
