First off; congratulations if you were able to sit through this dreck in one sitting. If you haven’t, what you have missed is the saga of Alphie and Bibi two sweet and innocent folk singers from Saskatchewan who are signed by an evil rock svengali named Mr. Boogaloo (let that name sink in for a minute) who corrupts Bibi by turning her into a Glam Rock bitch and beats the crap out if Alphie for refusing to sell out. Now how could this have not been a hit? The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: The Apple (1980) Actors: George Gilmore (Alphie) Catharine Mary Stuart (Bibi) Songs you might remember: Nothing Why you should vote for him them: Catharine Mary Stuart had a lot of fans in the 80’s, didn’t she? Why you should not vote for them: This is a horrific piece of cinema. {youtube}

James Franco appears as “Alien”, the wannabe rapper and gangster in Spring Breakers. We saw a bit of his rap, which we guess is enough to qualify him for this ballot, though we suspect that doesn’t give him much of a chance here. Now if we ever create a fictitious douchy hall for white trash rappers, this is a lock! The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: Spring Breakers (2013) Actor: James Franco Songs you might remember: Hangin’ with Da Dopeboys. Why you should vote for them: Watching him Rap was a guilty pleasure. Why you should not vote for him: If the vote is based on skill, there is no shot here. {youtube}

At the end of Cheech & Chong’s first film, the stoned out duo performed and won a “Battle of the Bands” as “Alice Bowie”, a name that was an obvious amalgamation of Alice Cooper and David Bowie; two of the biggest names in music at the time. The song was actually a minor hit years earlier for Cheech and Chong, and actually was a decent way to show Cheech’s musical skills. The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: Up in Smoke (1978) Actors: Tommy Chong & Cheech Marin Songs you might remember: Earache My Eye Why you should vote for them: Comedians who can actually play music are rare. Why you should not vote for them: This was not much of a fictitious band. {youtube}

We did not see much of his music in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but Russell Brand stole scene after scene as the eccentric Rock Star, Aldous Snow. In his own vehicle, “Get Him to the Greek”, we see him after his disastrous single “African Child” turns him into a laughing stock of the music industry and a young record executive (Jonah Hill) comes up with the idea to resurrect his career by performing at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles in a tenth anniversary show of his legendary concert there. Of course, you have to “Get Him to the Greek” which of course elicited hilarious results. We think we have a serious candidate here, though if we go by “African Child” we might foresee some difficulty. The Bullet Points: Movies Appeared: Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) Get Him to the Greek (2010) Actor: Russell Brand Songs you might remember: African Child Why you should vote for him: This is one of the funniest performances on the ballot. Why you should not vote for him: His signature song was horrific.
