BREAKING NEWS: Warner Bros. announces Superman & Batman will return to the big screen in 2012!! Plus a bunch other projects announced!

Leave a comment

Here are some shocking movie news for ya. Today Warner Bros. announced Superman will fly his way to the big screen around Christmas time in 2012, as Batman will return in July of 2012. Also announced, “Sherlock Homes 2”, WB’s is getting close to greenlighting a “Flash” movie. “Aqua Man” and “Wonder Woman” is also coming to the big screen.

The year 2011 will release “The Green Lantern” in 3D, “The Hangover 2”, the next Harry Potter film, “Red Riding Hood” and more.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

Lets hope Warner Bros. makes the next “Superman” flick a real good one this time. I’m sure they will, since they got Christopher Nolan helping out with the next Supes flick. Chris definitely won’t be able to direct, “Superman” now ’cause it will be hard for him to direct two movies at the same time. It will be interesting to see who the director will be for the “Superman” movie. I personally think, the director should be no one other than the great, Richard Donner, who did the first Superman movie. If they can get Donner to direct, that would be fantastic. He’s 80 years old, but I think he’s still directing, I believe.

Tobiaz gets his laptop stolen…

2 Comments

I don’t mean to write about this guy again, but since he’s posting these things publicly for the whole world to see, it gives me the right to respond to it, check it out:

http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=61560782&blogId=534934509

I’m not gonna bash the guy but I’m gonna say this, like what the hell was he doing hanging in the alleys in Pittsburgh at like 2 in the morning? I told him in facebook, if he’s the only homeless person hanging around the streets with a lot of valueable things like a wad of cash, a laptop computer, cell phone, etc. You will be become an attraction to theives and muggers. Also, isn’t the Mexican War Streets in Pittsburgh really high in crime? According to google research it is a dangerous area to live ’cause of the crime. They didn’t call it the “Mexican War Streets” for nothing, don’t you think?

I told him this in facebook as well, it’ll be impossible for the cops to catch these guys who took the computer. In those cities, there are millions of people. The only way the cops will be able to catch these guys if Iaz gave the police a good description of what the men looked like or if Iaz snapped photos or videos of the incident for proof. I tried to warn him that he will keep getting himself robbed if he continues to hang out in the streets at night. I also warned him about muggings. I have a feeling he might get mugged at some point in the future. Yeah, getting mugged means getting beat up and everything of value gets taken off you. Then you wake up in the alleys with your shoes gone.

When he first arrived in Pittsburgh, he didn’t think any of this stuff would happen and he’s finally starting to realize it. There are violent criminals out there. He’s never gonna get his laptop back ’cause the guys who took it probably already sold it for drugs by now.

I wish Toby well, and hope he will start taking responsibility in travel safety. Maybe if he gets robbed enough times, maybe that will change his mind about Pittsburgh and maybe he will come back home to the Capital District if he can’t take it anymore. Who knows. Anything is possible.

Don’t listen to those who don’t believe in you…

When I first announced that I was getting into fitness and bodybuilding, yep, you bet, I got laughed at and got called delusional. I’ve had plenty of people tell me, you will never be “bodybuilder” or will never be “Mr. Muscle Man”. Well, here I am, Mr. Muscle Man. That is me now. If that is your dream, go for it. People talking negative about your dream is not stopping you for making it come true. ANYBODY CAN GET SHREDDED. If I can do it, so can you. Doesn’t matter your age. Doesn’t matter if you’re good looking or not. No matter the body condition you have, anybody can do it.

I got into it, hoping to become more athletic, become stronger and to look good half naked. I also got into it hoping to get into some kind of sport. I want to get into martial arts at some point. Maybe I will take up boxing or wrestling, who knows. Soon I plan to buy a punching bag and a pair of boxing gloves just to start doing some punching. I at least want to learn some kind of fighting sport. I don’t want to learn to fight people since I’m not a violent person…basically for self defense only. Plus, something fun to do.

I certainly don’t want a career in fitness or sports. I just want to get physical. Get that muscular look for myself. I’ve always wanted it for years and it’s time I start now. It ain’t like I’m going to become a model for women’s magazines or the TV commercials, but I will continue to pose half naked for pics/videos just for fun.

Nothing is stopping you for making your fitness dreams come true. It’s about you. What you want in life. Not anyone else.

Top 5 Video Games that should be live action films…

Leave a comment

In celebration of “Prince of Persia” coming out tomorrow, I thought I would name 5 video games that I think would make great live action movies.

  1. Final Fantasy – There has been a few animated “Final Fantasy” films for the big screen, but there is none yet being live action. I’m pretty sure there will be one someday.
  2. Grand Theft Auto (with Niko Bellic as it’s leading character) – They should do a Grand Theft Auto movie based on “Grand Theft Auto IV” story. As long as they don’t make it too “Fast and Furious” like, it would make an excellent action movie.
  3. Dead Space – The sci fi horror video game that tells a story of Isaac Clarke trapped in a space station with all kinds of monsters and aliens. This would be a great film and I’m sure they will turn this into a movie at some point.
  4. Assasin’s Creed – I remember youtube did a short live action movie based on the video game and it was a hit in youtube. I think it now deserve’s big screen treatment and I still have never played any of the Assasin’s Creed games yet.
  5. Metal Gear Solid – The story of Solid Snake needs to happen to the big screen. I thought “Metal Gear Sold 4 – Guns of the Patriots” was a mind blowing video game. Amazing story and amazing gameplay. Please make this into a movie soon.

Honorably mention – “Duke Nukem” – For years there have been rumours of a live action Duke Nukem movie coming out and it has always been rumoured that the Rock Dwayne Johnson was going to play the character but he denied it everytime. I think a “Duke Nukem” movie deserves to happen more than any other video game adapted film. A “Duke Nukem” action movie would be badass if made right.

I didn’t list “God Of War” ’cause Hollywood is already planning one and they are already planning a “Bioshock” movie as well.

Time to beef up my chest…really…

Leave a comment

Looking at that video a couple of times, my pecs looks okay but if I want to really impress people with my physique, I really need to beef up my chest a lot more. My goal is to hopefully get a wrestler sized type of chest. I’m noticing my arms and shoulders are really huge, so I will need a bigger chest so it can look right. I will be doing some reading on how to get a massive chest.

I didn’t agree with benching, but it looks like I’m gonna have to do a lot more if I want a bigger chest ’cause honestly, benching is an important way to beef it up. Earlier this week, I did a little benching at the gym. Yes I had a spotter. Only lifted about 55 lbs, next time I plan to do a little more.

If you want to impress a lot of women, gotta concentrate on the chest, ’cause the pecs is what women mostly check out a lot.

Sex and the City, the first movie…

Leave a comment

So last night, I watched the first “Sex and the City” movie on HBO again. I still don’t understand the hate toward this franchise. I still don’t find anything wrong with the first movie. The way I looked at the film, it was nothing all that bad. There is not much gay material in it, just very briefly with a few minor scenes. The film is simply about the 4 women reuniting again from the TV show. Of course, they do their usual talking about men and how bad they are at relationships. The film mostly focuses on trashy fashion. People hate the series because of it’s trashy fashion? That’s the point of it. It’s suppposed to be trashy and ugly. The reason for this is, that the 4 women wants to prove that the aging professional working women are not always perfect. The series want people to hate their trashy fashion.

The thing is, it’s just a movie. That’s all it is. Why are guys out there calling it a chick flick, when I’m sure men saw plenty of chick flicks in their lives at some point. “Ghost” = chick flick, “Pretty Woman” = chick flick, “Titanic” = chick flick, “Dirty Dancing” = chick flick, “Moulin Rouge” = chick flick”, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” = chick flick, “Thelma & Louise” = chick flick, “Julia & Julia” = chick flick, etc. I can go on with the list.

“Sex and the City” is not really aimed directly at women, even though the show is popular with women. For the record, the person who created the series, Michael Patrick King, happens to be a man. Yes, he is openly gay but they can still be interested in straight relationships, nothing wrong with that. The series is mostly about straight relationships.

I’ll be looking forward to seeing the sequel tomorrow. I know the sequel comes out today, but I have to see it tomorrow ’cause it’s my day off of work.

Stallone news

Report: Sly is planning sequel to “Tango & Cash”…

Leave a comment

Could Sly Stallone go back to wearing the suit, tie & glasses and Kurt Russell will go back to wearing drag for a sequel in “Tango & Cash”? It could be possible as Sly is planning a sequel to the action comedy. Although the two haven’t worked in a film together in a long time, they are still great friends. Sly tried to get Kurt for “The Expendables” movie, but Kurt turned it down ’cause he wasn’t ready to come back to Hollywood yet. I think Kurt agreed to a “Tango & Cash” sequel as a way to make up for it? Could “Tango & Cash” be Sly’s next movie after “The Expendables”? Hopefully.

In defense of “Sex and the City”: From a man’s perspective…

Leave a comment

This woman wrote a nice blog defending “Sex and the City”, the popular HBO TV series that was turned into theatrical films.

Check it out here:

http://www.guidetoonlineschools.com/blog/2010/05/25/in-defense-of-sex-and-the-city/

I’m not afraid to say that I am a fan of the show. Was a fan of “Sex and the City” TV series when it was aired on HBO years back. Used to watch it all the time late nights. Watched every season, pretty obsessively, I believe. I never saw the first “Sex and the City” movie in theater, but actually watched it on HBO just a couple of weeks ago actually. I did like, the first “Sex and the City” movie. It was interesting.

A lot of men would trash the show, calling it a chick flick but is it really a “chick” flick? Please be honest now. I don’t see the series being a chick flick. It’s not even close. I think people are missing the point that the show was originally made for straight men and I’m about to explain why. The show’s main plot point is 4 women who do nothing but talk about men. Why? Because they want to make their romance and sex lives better. The 4 women like to make men look terrible by talking about men all the time. We all know that women’s favorite things to do is to talk about how horrible men are. I think the point of the series is that they want straight men to watch this, to give them a wake up call about what women really think of men.

And this is the reason, I’m a fan of the series. I like to learn women’s feelings on things and how they think. The writing is really good stuff, very insightful and intelligent. Men don’t want to admit they like the series ’cause they think it’s for women only, but some men end up becoming fans of the show as well. The series is not just 4 women trying to make their love lives better. It’s also more about serious things. The series tried to wake people up on sexually transmitted disease, safe sex, and promiscuity. So that’s another reason straight males should be watching the series, so they can get a wake up call, on safe sex.

I’ve seen the trailer for “Sex and the City 2” and will probably go and check the film out. Probably sometime next week. Yeah, I’m a fan of the series. Always had been. Remember, the show is not just about 4 women talking about men, the show’s goal is to help promote safe sex. End of story.

I didn’t watch the “Lost” finale…

Leave a comment

“Lost” was the most talked about TV show last night because of the finale. I understand the show’s popularity but I haven’t seen a single episode. So I didn’t bother watching the finale. I watched “Celebrity Apprentice” finale instead.

Like I always say, I don’t watch much TV.

Only shows I watch on TV are: “Friday Night Lights”, “WWE RAW”, “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” and CNN/MSNBC politics news. Sometimes sports like UFC, professional boxing, golf, and NFL football.

I’m not such a big TV couch potato. I only watch TV at night, just to have something to fall asleep over. I spend most of my time playing guitar, video games and working out. I’ll watch a few movies on DVD on the weekends. Yep, I’m a pretty boring person. I spend a lot of time working out as a way to go outside more and be more active.

Although, “Lost” is no longer on the air, there is another JJ Abrams TV series coming to NBC called, “Undercovers” which I will probably watch.
