Space Jam Week
It’s Space Jam Week! Everybody get up, it’s time to slam now. We got a real jam goin’ down.
It’s Space Jam week! Anyone familiar with voice acting will immediately recognize the name Mel Blanc. For decades, Blanc popularized the art of voice through many iconic cartoons, among them including, of course, nearly every major original Looney Tunes character.
It’s Space Jam week! We currently live in an age where sequels are determined by the success of a film’s opening weekend, announced on the morning after a healthy weekend gross is reported. Heck, in some cases, films get sequels before they are even released to success in the first place; but for every Guardians of the Galaxy that would happily boast it would return, you have a Last Witch Hunter with a broken ego and a failed franchise.
As a wise man once said “time keeps on slippin’ slippin’ slippin’ / into the future.” It’s pretty gross to think about, but the seminal event in all of our lives, Space Jam, turns 20 this year. Seems like just yesterday that Michael Jordan rescued Bugs, Daffy and the gang from a lifetime of cosmic-slavery, but here we are.
