Joaquin Phoenix’s documentary about his rap career will hit theaters Sept 10th, and the film is titled, “I’m Not Here”. Magnolia Films scored the rights to release it.
I’m sure we will see a trailer very soon, probably around August, a teaser trailer for this film will hit the web.
This film sounds interesting. I’m certainly am looking forward to seeing it. Anything with Joaquin Phoenix in it, is gold.

“Weird Al” Yankovic played a short acoustic gig in the NPR radio station and it was recorded on video. I’m a big “Weird Al” fan. I’ve only seen him perform live once at the Palace Theater years back, but this is Weird Al’s best performing. His singing is really good just doing acoustic.
I would like to see Al and just his accordian alone though. Not sure why he didn’t bring his accordian to these performances.
Enjoy these. Al’s singing is better without the electric band, in my opinion. He shows his passion in his singing in these performances.

Edward Norton the man himself, went to his facebook page to write a statement for his fans. He thanks his fans for their support and he admits that he is sad that he will no longer play the Hulk. He says he loves the character and “The Incredible Hulk” film, he was really looking forward to playing on “The Avengers” movie.
Read what Ed has to say here:
Marvel, bunch of ego driven assholes. They don’t care about their cast. All Marvel cares about is money. I don’t think any other actor to take over the Hulk role will be as successful. Ed helped make “The Incredible Hulk” movie get millions in box office.
Fuck MARVEL! Ed’s a great actor, he’ll have better film projects up ahead of him.
Maybe Ed will get on a superhero movie for DC Comics? Could Ed Norton get a role for Chris Nolan’s “Batman” and “Superman” flicks? That be sweet!

So the not so surprising news announced yesterday that Roman Polanski will not be extradited to the US. How is this possible? Well, I’m 100% positive that Roman payed Switzerland millions or even billions of dollars just so he won’t get extradited and to help get him free. His fame is part of how he has done it, money and power is another reason. It’s insane that this guy thinks he did nothing wrong, he’s delusional for sure.

I have came up with a cool idea for my blog site. Each month, I will do a Q&A session interview with a different local band. This month, I will start off with a Q&A session interview with Albany local rap and R&B band, Ill Funk Ensemble. They are a five piece band that is fronted by, Jermaine Wells, who is a local rapper, and he is also an actor. This band does a mix of both covers and originals at their live gigs. They are fun, entertaining, and you can dance to their music. So if you go check out a show of theirs, be sure to bring your dancing shoes!
Q&A with Ill Funk Ensemble:
I would like to thank the band for this opportunity in working on this Q&A for this blog.

Triple H, aka The Game of WWE has been taking another long hiatus from performing on TV. So where is he you may ask? Why, he’s been backstage at all RAW shows after all this time! So in reality, Mr. Paul Levesque hasn’t gone anywhere! What does Triple H do backstage? Well since he is a very valuable employee to WWE, he hangs out backstage to help out with the writing team. He’ll help suggest storylines and matches for RAW shows. Plus, I’m sure Hunter helps out with other wrestlers backstage in the locker room.
Triple H isn’t really injured, it’s a storyline injury that he got from Randy Orton. The reason Triple H isn’t on TV at this point, is because he isn’t needed at this time. With the Nexus stable (former NXT guys with a name change of their group) taking over WWE, the fans would know that Triple H would be able to take down the Nexus easily with no problems. The writing team didn’t want Triple H to take down the Nexus right away, so it isn’t a good time to have Triple H around when the Nexus angle is just starting to get some heat and going strong. If Triple H came back early, it would destroy the whole Nexus angle which won’t be good. WWE wants to play with the Nexus vs. WWE storyline for a while, when the right time comes, Triple H will jump in to help fight off the Nexus. I imagine will help promote a huge ppv which will be Summerslam.
I’m sure Triple H, will be back soon. I don’t think he’s the RAW Anonymous GM though, never know, he could be. I’m sure Triple H will return sometime a few weeks before Summerslam. I’m not worried about Triple H coming back this early. He needs to take time off, so the Nexus can play their angle with out Triple H overshadowing them. This might possibly set up a huge Triple H vs. Wade Barrett match.
Looking forward to tonight’s RAW. I got back to watching again ’cause I’m loving the Nexus storyline. It’s good stuff. Finally WWE brought something good this time.

Marvel Studios President, Kevin Fiege, announced that Ed Norton will not play The Incredible Hulk in the “Avengers” or any other type of Hulk movie ever again. Fiege claims that the reason they fired Ed Norton they needed an actor that has the creativity and the collaborative spirit of other cast members. They want a team player that is able to work with other cast members in the film. In other words to keep it simple, Marvel plans to go for a new direction for the Hulk character and they feel Ed no longer fits.
Read Fiege’s statement here:
Ed Norton immediately fired back by having his attorney hit back at Marvel with an angry rant, Ed’s lawyer claims Ed was all up for the “Avengers” movie and it was something he was looking forward to.
I’m totally on Ed’s side. I thought Ed made a perfect Bruce Banner. Ed was like a young Billy Bixby. I thought Ed’s “Incredible Hulk” movie was fantastic. I LOVED IT! It was definitely better than the Ang Lee/Eric Bana version.
Besides, Marvel movies suck anyway. Marvel only made like a few good superhero movies. Movies I liked that Marvel has done: “The Punisher” (Thomas Jane version), “X-Men” (the first one only), “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” (it was actually a fun movie), but that’s about it.
Watch out Marvel, I smell a big lawsuit coming by Edward Norton!

So after finishing “Bioshock 2”, I finally decided to start the game “Heavy Rain” next. Which I already started a few days ago, I played a lot of this game before work today. The game “Heavy Rain” got a lot of negative critique, but in my opinion, I think this is one of the best games I’ve ever played on the PS3 so far. People accused this game of being a boring interactive movie. I would have to agree and disagree both on that. While it is an interactive movie, it’s actually a game too. It’s almost like a role playing game. You have to make careful decisions in this game or bad things will happen ahead if you make the wrong decision.
In this game you don’t just play one character. You play 4 different characters throughout the game. You play, Ethan Mars, Madison Paige, FBI agent Norman Jayden, and Det. Scott Shelby. I like all the characters but I think that Norman Jayden guy is a badass character, and I think he deserves his own game as a spinoff. The game tells the story of an architect, Ethan Mars, who has a family, he learns about the Origami serial killer. The Origami serial killer is actually a child killer and of course, the game’s mission is to hunt down the killer.
You can play the characters while the movie is still going which is cool. The game has quite a bit of nudity too. The best part is that you can actually play Madison Paige naked while she’s taking a shower. The game shows the privates and everything. After playing this game for a while, it got me thinking, “No wonder so many want David Fincher to direct this live action movie, the game is pretty close to the movie, “Se7en”.
So far, I’m impressed with the game. Probably the best game in my collection. It should be a live action movie. I think David Fincher is a perfect choice of a director if they can get him for it…but who would play the characters in the live action version?
The Ethan Mars role, I think David Duchovny might be perfect for that character. What about Norman Jayden? When I looked at Norman in the game, he looked almost exactly like Mark Wahlberg, so Marky Mark would be my pick. For Madison Paige, a young actress would be better for her, in the picture above is Madison, so who does she reminds you of? She looks a little more like Jennifer Connelly or Famke Janssen. As for Scott Shelby, Robert Deniro might be good for him. So there’s my casting pick for the live action version.
The live action version is in the works, they just haven’t confirmed a director yet, so hopefully it will be Fincher.
I just started the game, so I don’t know who the Origami killer is yet, but I do have a feeling it’s one of those main 4 characters though. I think the gameplay is very cool, unique and different. You can actually play in a movie, that’s what’s so cool about it. Games haven’t done that before. Most importantly I just love the story ’cause I love serial killer fiction.

…isn’t Lunic’s new promotional video kind of skanky? Seriously, Katie in her underwear hugging two guys at the same time? A guy grabbing hold of her butt? You can see that photo around the 1:59 mark. Also, the last picture where she’s giving this woman a lap dance.
I know this is a video introducing the new members of the band but is this an appropriate way to do it? Think how club owners, booking agents and advertisers would be turned off by those pics. Don’t get me wrong, Katie is a nice looking woman, not bad at all, but she needs to focus on the music of Lunic, and not exposing herself that she likes to party and get wild. I understand the humor of those pics and understand it’s their way of getting more attention to Lunic, but some might find those pics offensive, especially some of Lunic’s fans as well.
Sorry Lunic, bad move.

Local rap/hip hop group, the Ill Funk Ensemble, releases a new music video titled, “Summertime”. It’s a feel good happy summer song. I’m not into rap/hip hop too much, but I can listen to some of it. I’ll have to say that I am actually digging this song. These guys are better than most local rap artists around. I think this song will be a huge hit for these guys. It’s a perfect rap song all around. Great work Jermain and the guys! I’m a new fan now! Maybe I’ll catch an Ill Funk Ensemble show in the future!
Enjoy! I want this tune for my Ipod!
Learn more about the Ill Funk Ensemble here, these guys are great! In fact, they kick ass.
