SCREAM 4 Anyone?

So it has been officially confirmed recently that “Scream 4” is indeed in the works rather than a remake of the original (thank god!). The good news is also that yesterday David Arquette and Courtney Cox have also officially signed on to return as Dewey Riley & Gale Weathers. I’d like to also mention that about 8 years ago I met them both by chance at a Wherehouse Music where I worked in Jacksonville Florida and they were actually pretty cool people with pretty decent taste in music. Anyway I have always been a big fan of the Scream movies. Infact I remember seeing the first one in the theater and being pretty blown away. Scream gave the horror genre the kick in the ass it needed at the time, making going to see a horror movie in the theaters a damn fun time again. It also set the trend however to a ton of immitators that made going to the theater to see a horror movie a collossal waste of time and money!

Who was your Horror host?

Back in the 80’s when I was a kid living in the Fox Valley Wisconsin there was one show every weekend I was sure NOT to miss-Chiller Theater! This was an awesome show that showed some pretty terrible horror movies from the 60’s and 70’s mostly and if you were lucky maybe one from the 80’s occasionally. It was a local broadcast out of Green Bay Wisconsin and it’s host was none other than “Ned The Dead”.

I am not exactly sure why good ol’ Ned entered my mind this morning but just the thought of him brings back alot of great memories from my youth. I found some segements of him on youtube and then the memories really flushed back! Just the sound of his voice, his manic laughter and the sight of him in his broken down ticket booth was enough to put a smile on my face today. I wonder where these type of guys are now today? I heard Rumours that he’s back on TV in Wisconsin? Why doesn’t Portland have a “Chiller Theater”?  That is something that needs to change! Anyway it got me thinking about other areas of the country and anyone who checks this site-who were your local Horror Hosts?!

Justin Timberlake rumoured to star as the Green Lantern….

Hmmm….so I have heard a rumour that pop star Justin Timberlake is reportedly been considered to wear the emerald power ring on the big screen. Acccording to Aint It Cool News  they have begun screen testing for the role of the Green Lantern and it appears that Timberlake is in the running. I wonder what the Guardians of the Universe would think about this huh? I could think of about two dozen people that would make a better Green Lantern than Timberlake but then again what do I know I am just some nerd with a blog about comic books and Sci Fi with “The Beyonder” at the top of our website as our mascot!

 Anyway this is what they had to say about it:

Prepare to be blown away!~ ENJOY!

Ghostbusters 3: new Harold Ramis interview!

Her’s a great interview with Harold Ramis talking about the upcoming “Ghostbusters 3” movie! Yeah it really is happening and it sounds from the interview that he has a good grasp on what has and hasn’t worked in recent revival movies. I guess we will have to wait and see but I think from his perspective on things it’s going to be done tastefully. In a world jam packed with terrible CG it seems that maybe this new Ghostbusters flick may end up having hopefully a bit more of an organic old school feel. Check this out!

He-man was the cause of my satanic bahavior!!

Wow this explains EVERYTHING. Check it out and soon you’ll realize that you too have been doing Satan’s dirty work all these years especially if you used to play with or watch He-Man!

CURRENT SCOOP ON UPCOMING MARVEL MOVIES!

So what heck has been up with the upcoming Marvel Movies lately? We still haven’t heard too much about the Mighty Thor movie and we STILL don’t know who officially has been cast as Captain America! I have heard rumors of Will Smith, Brad Pitt and Leonardo Dicaprio but still no offcial confirmation of just who will de donning the red white and blue. Well I just stumbled upon some news about these movies last night on Firstshowing.net and it’s getting me pumped about these new feature films. he’s what they had to say:

marvel-studios-0612

“Marvel’s president of production Kevin Feige confirmed that Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston were officially cast in Thor. He spoke very highly about both actors, but focused more on Hiddleston, who plays the villain Loki. Feige explained that finding a classic villain that could be sustained over the course of many films and provide the hero with a challenge while also being a mirror of that hero himself was very tough. “Loki has those aspects.” He also did say that Thor takes place on both modern Earth and other worlds like Asgard, confirming what we heard the other day about Donald Blake not being a part of the story and the setting be primarily Earth. And lastly, he said that director Kenneth Branagh would not let them use any classic Shakespearian dialogue like was often used in the comics.

World Of Warcraft possesses boy!

If you have NOT seen this video yet you are in for a treat! It’s the WOW freakout of the century! This has gotto be simply one of the most amazing things I have seen in years. I remember freaking out as kid about some  stuff I thought was pretty intense but it was never at this level of almost demonic like possession of the pre-teen soul! I guess in his defense his character was supposedly level 80 but STILL!!! Check this out!!

Ok so you didn’t have enough of this spazz? Well here he is again losing his damn mind!

Corey feldman + michael Jackson = Disaster.

It seems Corey Feldman has been back in the news again recently with the passing of his ol’ buddy and idol Michael Jackson. I’m sure everyone remembers his phase in the late 80’s when he dressed exactly like him and danced around in “Dream A Little Dream”. I must say the sight of him dancing in that scene in that movie kinda made me wanna vomit though the movie is still a bit of a guilty pleasure. Something that some people don’t really know as much about though is his singing career he tried to launch in the late 80’s and early 90’s. This really just has to be seen to be believed. Sure he had some of those MJ killer dance moves down pretty well but when you put a microphone in his hand (or even listen to his lip sync his pre-recorded song) it becomes a whole different story! So sit back and relax while Mr. Feldman takes the stage with some of the worst pop songs in history…
