Report: Liam Neeson hints at a “Taken” sequel…

Actor, Liam Neeson, is the first to drop the big news that there are plans for a “Taken” sequel. “Taken” is a James Bond/Jason Bourne like action flick which is about a father out to rescue his kidnapped daughter from gangs himself. The film was written by Luc Besson and directed by Pierre Morel. Liam says to MTV that he is in talks with Luc Besson to discuss ideas and the plot for a possible sequel.

While I did love the movie, “Taken”, it was a very entertaining film, I hope the next one will be longer. The first “Taken” was too short. I wanted more. Liam Neeson makes a badass action hero. I kind of had a feeling there is going to be a sequel to this film ever since the first one came out.

Who will get kidnapped in the second movie? I hope they don’t do a kidnapped girl again ’cause that would be boring. I think it would be an interesting plot if Bryan Mills (Liam’s character) gets kidnapped himself and he has to find out a way to escape from the badguys. It would be the same gangs from the first one out to seek revenge on him. Start right off from the last one. Anyhow, can’t wait to see what the real plot will be! I hope it’ll be something different!

This is really John Goodman…WOW!!! :-)

Actor John Goodman went from this:

To this:

Well, look like somebody else has been working out really hard and eating right! I’m very impressed! Did John finally get tired of being overweight after all these years? It’s about time, man! Congratulations! Dayam, he’s lookin’ really good! Keep it up, dude! See? He doesn’t need Jillian Michaels or the Biggest Loser to lose weight, this guy did it on his own.

I hope Kevin Federline and Kirstie Alley are taking note.

Report: Iron Maiden to release “The Final Frontier” August 17th…

Metal legends, Iron Maiden is set to release a new studio record titled, “The Final Frontier” on August 17th following a summer tour with Dream Theater. See the cover art and track listing here, along with tour dates.

Also, hear a new song from the new album called, “El Dorado” in the video below, and I think it’s pretty good. I think their old stuff is better, but this isn’t too bad. I love Iron Maiden. I’ve listened to them for years. I have the “Essential Iron Maiden” two disc greatest hits compilation on my Ipod.

I would love to see Iron Maiden live if they ever come to Saratoga Springs or Albany.

Thought: I believe in Lindsay Lohan part II

So I got some people scratching their heads, thinking to themselves, “Wtf is Kev supporting Lindsay for?” I decided to write another blog to clear up all the confusion. Hopefully.  I’m not saying she didn’t drink and drive, and got caught with cocaine back in 2007, of course she did, and I know she admitted to her mistakes. She admitted she was dumb and hopes to improve her life in the future. I’m not saying alcoholics and druggies are cool, and they have the right to do it, when I know it’s against the law.

What I was saying from this post:

https://kbrocking.wordpress.com/2010/05/21/thought-i-believe-in-lindsay-lohan/

….is, there are so many people out there that are no different than her. Look at how many druggies and alcoholics are around here. I am POSITIVE that some of you readers here had brushes with the law in drugs & alcohol as well. These things happen all the fuckin’ time. I’m pretty sure some of you have family members and friends that are major party animals too. So people being interested in Lindsay Lohan for all this is ridiculous. I guess people get entertained by trainwrecks and gossip drama which is why everyone is so hooked to Lindsay Lohan news. This is why she is reported everywhere. Every move she makes, blam, it’s all over every fuckin’ news site. The gossip sites knows people go crazy over Lindsay Lohan news, it makes them some big bucks and gives them large view counts on their websites.

She’s a famous celebrity in a troubled life right now. So what? There are others: Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, etc. The list can go on.

The fact is, no matter what people think of her, like her or hate her, she’s an innocent human being. Not innocent for her crimes, but she’s innocent as a human. I hope you know what I mean by that. She’s human. She’s not perfect, we all aren’t. If you’re in a troubled life, whatever it is, it takes little tiny baby steps to improve it. That’s where Lindsay falls in. She’s got a long road to go to improve her life, so give her a chance and she’ll improve on her own.

I mean, just because a person is an alcoholic and a junkie, doesn’t make them a terrible person. They can still be a good person who is in need of help. I certainly blame TMZ for all the mess in media news with Lindsay. I’m pretty sure Lindsay is not an evil person that the media is making her out to be. She maybe a wild child but who cares? I’m sure everybody experienced hard partying and maybe had brushes with the law.

There are better things to pay attention to in the news anyways like the Gulf Oil Spill, Abby Sunderland gone missing at the Indian Ocean, the wars still going on in Afghan/Iraq, etc. Do people pay attention to that stuff much? Nope, everyone’s too hooked to Lindsay Lohan news.

I wish Lindsay well and I think she will improve her life when she gets older. It’s a slow process and it ain’t easy.

Thought: Jay Leno without Kevin Eubanks is different…

Although I don’t like Jay Leno, I still kind of watch before Jimmy Fallon comes on. I must say, the “Tonight Show” is no longer, the “Tonight Show” without Kevin Eubanks as the sidekick. The new guy is just crap. The “Tonight Show” band has all new members. I feel that the ratings will go down without Kevin. Will NBC get rid of Jay Leno for low ratings? No…because Jay is too valuable to NBC that he can’t get fired, no matter the situation. I just don’t get, the “Tonight Show” feeling with Kevin not there. I’m sure you know what I mean.

What would David Letterman be like without Paul Shaffer? What would Jimmy Fallon be like without the Roots?

I’ll say that Jay Leno is a lot more boring without Kevin. I’m sure many people would actually agree with me on this topic.

BREAKING NEWS: Abby Sunderland, 16 year old sailor gone missing…

16 year old sailor, Abby Sunderland, has been reported missing at Sea. She was sailing in the Indian Ocean and she haven’t been heard from since she turned on the emergency beacon on the sailboat.

More on it here:

http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/06/10/missing.teen.sailor/

Before assuming she sank or she died at a dangerous area in the ocean, stop and think how she can still be alive and sailing? Maybe she’s too busy trying to battle strong ocean currents, that she doesn’t have the time to contact emergency right now. Or maybe the sailing is not that dangerous at all where she is, and she’s sailing fine with no issues.

I just think she has worried parents after she turned on the beacons.

So yeah, I believe she’s still alive.

Report: Les Grossman will get his own movie to the big screen…

As long as you’re Tom Cruise, you can get whatever you want. Les Grossman is a character from Ben Stiller’s, “Tropic Thunder”. The character was played by Tom Cruise. Even if the character was in the movie for just a small role, the character became a hit. Later on, Tom expressed interest in wanting to play the character more with the permission of Ben Stiller, since Ben is the one that created the character. Well, look like Ben Stiller is cool with Tom playing Les Grossman more, ’cause Paramount made it official that a Les Grossman movie is coming to the big screen.

More on it here:

Very cool. I loved Tropic Thunder and I thought Les Grossman was a cool character. This could be a funny movie if made right.

Although I have a feeling that the Les Grossman movie might possibly be about him dancing on stage or in a nightclub. Tom sure knows how to dance.
