Report: JJ Abrams “Star Trek” is finally completed and ready to go!!!

Leave a comment

JJ Abrams has finally completed, “Star Trek”. It’s all ready to go, ready to be released, and ready to be marketed!!! JJ actually completed all the scenes for the film around Christmas time. The final step was the sound editing which were done by Oscar winner Ben Burtt.

Now expect JJ himself and the cast members to start promoting the film everywhere in the media. Yes, you will probably start seeing Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine, Eric Bana, etc. appearing on late night talk shows such as Jay Leno, Conan, Carson Daly, Letterman, etc. to plug in the film.

With the recent death of Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, that’ll help grow some interest of non-Star Trek fans to help celebrate her work with Star Trek to see what she’s all about.

Read more about the production of “Star Trek” here:

Glad JJ finally finished the film. He’s been working on it for at least a year, I think? May 8th is about 4 months away. Just around the corner. I’m sure the movie will be a smash hit and will be the most successful “Star Trek” film ever.

Even if you’re not a “Star Trek” fan, you should really see this new film and it may want you to get into “Star Trek” more. I’m dyin’ to see this flick, ’cause I want to see Eric Bana as Nero the villain, that villain looks so freakin’ badass. Plus the entire film overall, looks so great. Can’t wait to see this movie!!!

Report: Jett’s cause of death may be kept private…

Leave a comment

TmZ says that Jett Travolta’s autopsy is going on now as you read this, however, the Ministry of Health in the Bahamas says that the results of the autopsy may never be public to the media or anywhere. It is all up to John and Kelly, whether or not they want to make it public.

It’s been speculated that the cause of Jett’s death was because of using the wrong medications that didn’t work, he accidentally fell and hit his head against the bath tub, it was also rumoured that Jett died in John’s arms.

TmZ reports:

It’s understandable if they want to make the autopsy results private for themselves, it should be a family matter only. It definitely looks like to me, that Jett’s death was accidental. It looks like an accident.

If John and Kelly wants to make it public, hey, that’s their call. It’s a fact that people dying over meds is growing rapidly. Not just celebrities, real people like us too. Meds are a killer, the truth hurts. So if you’re addicted to them, get help and get off of them before they kill you.

A large photo and flowers of Majel…

Majel’s memorial is seen here…

Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi from the Next Generation) chats it up with George Takei (Sulu), the old man in the middle is the Paramount executive, A.C. Lyles.

Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig chats it up with “Deep Space Nine” star Chase Masterson, look like Chekov is enjoying himself a piece of cake or something.

Star Trek writer Rick Berman chatting it up with Brent Spiner (Data from The Next Generation)…

Will Wheaton (Wesley Crusher from The Next Generation) and his wife chatting it up with Roddenberry.com site admin, Trevor Roth.

Nichelle Nichols the original Uhura first showing up at the memorial service, notice her face, she looks very sad…

Star Trek “Voyager’s” Robert Picardo (he played the doctor in “Voyager”) posing for the camera.

Again, no sign of William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy being at the funeral. JJ Abrams himself didn’t even attend. If there’s more memorial service pics I’ll post ’em.

Enjoy.

Report: Majel Barrett-Roddenberry laid to rest today…

Leave a comment

Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, the first lady of Star Trek, has been laid to rest today. She was laid to rest at a Los Angeles cemetery. The funeral service was open to the public. It was even opened for Star Trek fans, yes, many of the Star Trek fans showed up wearing Star Trek uniforms, pins, and other clothing you see in the series. Some cast members of Star Trek showed up as well. Star Trek veterans, Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig, and George Takei were there to mourn their friend. There was no sign of William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy being there.

More on it here:

Isn’t it amazing that so many die hard Star Trek fans all over the country travelled all the way to L.A. to support a famous person they don’t even know? At a funeral? As a die hard Trekkie myself, I couldn’t even attend the funeral ’cause it would be too emotional for me. Yes, I probably would have cried if I attended the funeral. This moment is almost like Spock dying in “Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan” but this is obviously real life.

RIP Majel, such a sad loss. We shall celebrate her work with the Star Trek computer for one last time when we see JJ Abrams new film.

Jimmy Page needs to announce his new band soon, so he can kill the Led Zeppelin reunion rumors for good!!!

Leave a comment

Jimmy Page still hasn’t announced his new band yet with a new singer. I feel he will sometime this year. The Led Zeppelin reunion tour rumours still don’t want to quit in the media. The rumours are giving Pagey and Plant a headache. Once Jimmy announces the new band, that will for sure, squash the Led Zep rumours for good.

Who ever the new singer is, I don’t think it will be Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge. I’m sure the new singer will be a surprise and will shock the world, you never know who’s it going to be. It can be a completely unknown singer, somebody we’ve never heard of before or it could be a big name. Jimmy Page is always unpredictable. You just never know what that guy is going to do next. Don’t be surprised if the new singer could be Chris Robinson from the Black Crowes ’cause it could be a possibility as well.

As much as I love Led Zeppelin, fuck the reunion and fuck the Led Zep tour. If you were a true Led Zeppelin fanatic like myself, you would let the band go out on a positive note which was the Ahmet Ertegun O2 show. I actually agree with Robert Plant not rejoining them full time. Like I said in a post before, he’s too old for the rock n’ roll thing which is the whole fuckin’ point of tuning down keys in certain songs ’cause he couldn’t hit the high notes anymore.

He’s great with the country and bluegrass thing with Alison. Let him do that and let him move on. Led Zeppelin went out on a negative note with John Bonham dying and they wanted to come back to the O2 to play one last final show and go out in a good way. Leave it at that. Led Zeppelin continues their tour with Plant, they could fuck up their legacy by Plant not being able to sing anymore, so I’m all for Led Zeppelin not getting back together.

I want the guys moving on to new things, moving forward, not backwards. That’s what its all about. I’m looking forward to seeing what Pagey has in store for us with his new band and I know it’ll be really great. Pagey never dissapoints no matter what project outside of Zeppelin he does. Come on Jimmy!! Announce the new band soon ’cause the Led Zep reunion rumours are giving me a headache!!!

John Travolta’s Top 5 Best films!!!

Leave a comment

In honor of John Travolta, whether you agree with his Scientology stuff or not, you’ll have to admit that he has starred in some really great films.

These are in my opinion, his best work he’s ever done…

1. Pulp Fiction

(Need I say more? His best role, his best character in one kick ass film. In fact, I’m in the mood to watch this tonight!)

2. Wild Hogs

(Another one of his best roles, he plays a really good character in this flick, this movie is funny and very enertaining)

3. Face/Off

(A John Woo directed, action/thriller where he stars with Nicolas Cage, a great film, it’s another one of my favorite’s of Travolta’s)

4. The Punisher

(In the Thomas Jane version of the Punisher, John Travolta plays a very good villain, another one of my favorite characters of John’s. John makes a really good bad guy and if you haven’t seen this version of the Punisher yet, do yourself a favor, rent it or buy the DVD!!!)

5. Saturday Night Fever

(I can not leave out one of his dance flicks!!! Fuck “Grease”, that film is crap. I love “Saturday Night Fever” way more!!! Everytime “Saturday Night Fever” is on TV, I find myself watching it. I must own the DVD sometime which I do not have yet…now I got the Bee Gees “Stayin’ Alive” stuck in my head now…)

Getting good at “Dead Space”, halfway through the game!!!

Leave a comment

A while back I said I was going to start this game “Dead Space” over again because I got stuck on this one chapter, that I couldn’t get past one of the bosses ’cause of low ammo on one of the guns. Well I did start the game over again about a week ago and I got past that part I was stuck on successfully. There are 12 chapters in the game. Now I’m just starting Chapter 7 as I just completed Chapter 6 today. So that means, I’m almost done with the game already and I should have the whole thing beat by next week.

Yes, I’m playing this game on the difficulty/hard mode. It is a very challenging game but it’ll be easier for you if you practice, use some skill with your weapon, and have patience.

It’s a killer game and the monsters they created for the game are mind blowing. When you’re walking through the hallways of the spaceship, you never know when a monster will jump out at you and that’s what makes the game kind of scary. The game is sick and amazing, it is reccomended to all gamers out there.

Report: Jett Travolta to be buried in Ocala, Florida…

6 Comments

Jett Travolta’s body will be flown to Ocala, Florida where he will be buried. It is said Ocala is where the Travolta family currently lives. The home in Ocala where Travolta lives is the one where it has it’s own airport and an actual runway. Everyone knows that John loves flying planes and that’s what he does for a passion other than acting in film. It is also said that John and Kelly are both nightowls, the type of people who enjoy staying awake all night and sleep during the day.

TMZ says it was John Travolta himself who tried to save Jett’s life and revive him, but there was nothing anybody could do.

And the story will be all over TMZ as well:

http://www.tmz.com/

Yep, John is heartbroken and forever will be. I hope this won’t affect John’s movie career by quitting acting ’cause of his son’s death. If he does decide to quit acting because of his son, that’s understandable because family comes first before work. I don’t think John will quit but he will take a long break from film for sure. God bless, John and Kelly. John Travolta is a good man with heart who don’t deserve this.
