Roger Rabbit Returns….
Over the weekend it was revealed that Robert Zemekis is indeed bringing Roger Rabbit back to the big screen. There hasn’t been too much solid info revealed on the sequel except that movie will be penned by it’s original writers Peter Seaman and Jeffrey Price. There has been talk of making the movie partailly in 3-D and using motion capture for all characters other than the cartoons in a recent interview I saw at Mtv.com. Something is starting to sound a little well how can I put it quite simply? Lame!
So wasn’t the charm of the first movie the fact that the Toons were existing in the real world? Continue reading
Ron Jeremy…never ceases to amaze!
So for those of you that are familiar with the infamous Ron Jeremy, you know full well that there are no porn movie plots that are beneath him. From spoof of the Adam’s Family (The Maddams Family) to Flatliners (Fatliners), Mr. Jeremy has starred in over 1000 movies! And add to the madness of porn legacy that he has constructed, apparently he starred in Super Hornio Brothers…a spoof on Super Mario at the time that the Nintendo NES and SNES were kings…yeah the good old days of 1993.
The A-Team Returns….
The A-Team is officially back with this new photo which was just released on the web. I am really not sure what to make of this yet. I have fears of remaking these TV shows into movies as thoughts of The Dukes of Hazzard and Land of the Lost enter my mind. I’m not entirely sure what approach they are taking with this one. A parody like The Brady Bunch? Or a full on action movie with tons of CG and explosions? Lets face it the show was a classic and a huge hit in the 80’s but does it really need to be made into a movie? It’s kinda pointless without Mr. T isn’t it?? Well I guess from the picture Liam Neeson looks pretty cool as Hannibal. In all reality this movie will probably suck pretty damn bad as do most things they remake. It is shecduled to hit theaters in June 2010. I however am definately not going to risk 10 bucks at the theater to see this one. I think I’ll just watch the originals on dvd…
Relive the Muppet Nightmare!
I keep finding more halloween treasures from mychildhood on Youtube! Check out this awesome clip of Alice Cooper performing “Welcome To My Nightmare” on the Muppet Show’s halloween special! The Muppet Show was probably the greatest tv show of all time by the way and Jim Henson has got to be one of the greatest people to have ever graced this planet. So check out Alice as he rocks out with some spooky muppets!
Darth Vader Caught in Action!
Very short blog here!
Not sure why, but someone was just having some crazy fun…or perhaps had a message…with this great photoshoped pic of the Yalta Summit, 1945!
Proof that Stalin had Sith backing in WWII…
Arnold confrimed to appear in the new Predator sequel!
There were rumors flying a couple months ago all over the internet about the possibiltiy of Arnold Schwarzenegger appearing in the upcoming Robert Rodriquez produced sequel “Predators”. Well now it has been officially confirmed that Arnold will indeed be repirsing his role in a cameo as Dutch. This news was leaked via The Latino Review (make sure to check this link and watch their video about the script) who aquired a 90 page script of the action movie. The script they claimed was “Worthy of the original Predator”. They also confirmed there is a cameo written in for Schwarzenegger that will make fans go wild. Hopefully that means arnold has got a gigantic gun in his hands and telling people to get to the chopper!
The Scoop On “The Lost Boys 3”!
I am a forgiving guy, I really am, all my friends can attest to this about me. That is probably the ONLY reason why I am excited and willing to give the third installment of the Lost Boys a chance. After the second movie, The Lost Boys: The Tribe, I was extremely let down and quite frankly a little bit pissed off. I firmly beleive it could have been fairly easy to write a super rad sequel to The Lost Boys. Something like the sound of the plot of “The Lost Boys: The Thirst” which is been announced as the official title.
Pee-Wee Herman is Officially Back!
Can you beleive it? Pee-Wee Herman is BACK! Talk about some serious nostalgia seeing Pee-Wee appear on the Jay Leno Show last night! He was a huge part of my childhood in fact in my room I have my Pee-Wee Herman doll (that speaks!) Chairy too (which is a Hand Puppet) and the super cool ventriloquist doll Billy Baloney (who appears in my “Get You Own Box” video gorging his face with Cheez-It Crackers) . Anyway it’s was a great surpise seeing him back on the scene with a brand new stage show on the horizon. Check this out if you missed it!
The Hulk-Out list: David Banner’s Series of Unfortunate Events!!
After putting the Youtube video up yesterday about David Banner in rush hour traffic I thought it would be cool to show you an entire list of ways that he “Hulked Out” in the original live action Tv show from the 70’s starring Bill Bixby & Lou Ferrigno. This list was compiled by Kenneth Johnson the creator of that very series and many other awesome Sci-fi shows like V, Alien Nation and the Bionic Woman. check out his website here at http://kennethjohnson.us/
Here are all the ways listed, and man I am glad my life is no where as unpredictable as Banner’s from the tv show-it’s really unbelievable the luck this poor guy had. Check this video out and then the FULL list of Banner’s crazy consistent bad luck! Continue reading
