BREAKING NEWS: BROCK LESNAR WINS!!!

Leave a comment

Just got done watching the ppv. And it was great!

I knew all along that Lesnar was going to win it no matter what happens. Couture vs. Lesnar was a short and quick match but a very brutal one indeed. Lesnar won the match even if Couture gave him a bloody eye.

When the match got over with, I was surprised to see that Brock Lesnar is still married to Sable (Rena Mero). She walked onto the Octagon to celebrate his win and I saw that she is pregnant. Brock and Sable has been together for many years, and of course, Brock first met Sable when he was working for WWE.

All the other matches before the main event were good too.

Lesnar got booed and Couture got cheered. Weird. Almost like WWE, Lesnar the heel and Couture the hero. Lesnar still has his WWE attitude in him I can see. Not a lot of people like Lesnar because of his personality and his ego, but I like Lesnar. Always did. I’ve been paying attention to Brock Lesnar way before he first worked for WWE.

Lesnar will be an undefeated UFC Heavyweight Champ for a very long time. He’s one bad ass mofo. I like Lesnar a lot. Congrats to Lesnar.

I just bought UFC 91 ppv…

Leave a comment

I just purchased UFC 91 ppv a few minutes ago, so I’m definitely going to be watching this tonight. I’ll post my thoughts after the ppv is over. PPV starts at 9:30 tonight. The Couture vs. Lesnar match will probably be the last one which this match will happen late tonight. It’s going to be a good ppv. Looking forward to seeing it tonight.

Report: The rest of the “Twilight” novels to be made into films as well…

Leave a comment

With “Twilight” hitting theaters next Friday, the film makers are already moving forward to the rest of the sequels that will be adapted from the novels as well. The novels written by Stephenie Meyer, Summit Entertainment has acquired the rights to adapt “New Moon”, “Eclipse” and “Breaking Dawn” into major motion pictures. Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg who wrote the first “Twilight” movie has been signed to write “New Moon” and “Eclipse”. A writer for “Breaking Dawn” has not been found yet.

While Summit Entertainment knows that the first “Twilight” movie will be an audience full of pre-teens and twenty somethings, the film company hopes to attract the series to older audiences too from 30’s – 50’s and up. Basically, their goal is they want these films to be for people of all ages, not just for teens.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

I’m glad the sequels to the books are being made into films too. Good to hear. Although, I’m still in the middle reading “Eclipse”, I haven’t gotten around to get back into reading it, I’ve been busy. I’m glad I’m reading the books before the sequels of the films come out though.

I really am looking forward to seeing “Twilight” in theater next weekend and I probably will end up liking it a lot. We get too many fantasy and children stuff for all ages like “Chronicles of Narnia”, “Lord of the Rings”, “Star Wars”, “Harry Potter”, etc. But there’s never anything dark and never has anything to do with the horror genre, Stephenie Meyer finally brought that to us, a horror genre for people of all ages!!! Thank you Stephenie! That is why I love her for this!

Thought: Now that Mitch Mitchell is gone, will his Experience Hendrix tour live on?

Leave a comment

Now that all three members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience are gone will Mitch Mitchell’s tour with the Experience Hendrix go on without him? The Experience Hendrix tour like I said, it’s a tour where many different special guest musicians play various instruments to tribute the music of Jimi Hendrix. The tours over the years had many different guitarists from Jonny Lang to Kenny Wayne Shepherd to Brad Whitford and the list goes on.

I wonder if the Experience Hendrix tour will live on without Jimi, Noel, and Mitch. I personally think the “Experience Hendrix” tour will be going on forever nonstop. The Experience Hendrix will tour every year special guesting many different musicians. It’s a good way to keep the Hendrix legacy alive and strong so of course they’ll keep the tours going.

I’m a huge Jimi Hendrix addict myself. He’s one of my musical heroes, I’ll never get tired of listening to his music. He’s one of the main guys that made me want to pick up the guitar in the first place.

Report: CIA says Bin Laden is isolated from Al Qaeda…

Leave a comment

So Americans want to end the war soon and fast? Well, don’t get your hopes up, ’cause ending the war will not happen anytime soon no matter if President Obama tries to stop it or not.

Obama is wasting his time on politics and trying to get the economy to go strong, when money isn’t important. What is more important is protecting America from evil. Do you see Obama doing that right away? If McCain/Palin was elected President, Bin Laden would have been captured or even killed right about now. Well, Bin Laden is still out there.

The CIA says that Bin Laden is isolated from the Al Qaeda operation, meaning kept away and being alone for his own protection and safety. Being seperated from one another. It means Bin Laden is in a good hiding spot where he can’t be found at all but he is still alive and well.

More on it here:

If McCain was elected, he’d get right to work to hunt down Bin Laden right away but Obama is about “change” in the country, not about protecting and saving America.

I wonder what President Obama will say about this news. He’ll probably ignore it and concentrate on “change” in the country just for his own ego.

Report: Angelina Jolie to back out on Hollywood also?

Leave a comment

First Joaquin Phoenix backed out on Hollywood movies out of the blue, Angelina Jolie maybe the next in line. She is thinking about quitting acting in movies too. The reason? Family. Yep, with 6 kids she’s taking care of and wanting a lot more is what made her want to quit movies soon.

She plans on working throughout the month of Feb. (which I imagine she’ll be filming that action/thriller “Salt” around that time) and then she’ll take a year off, so for right now, she’s not quitting for good.

More on it here:

Even if she’s one of my top favorite actresses, I love her acting in movies to death, I’m all for her quitting, sure. When she’s a rich woman, she can have as many kids as she wants. She became too big of a star these days that she don’t really need to do any movies at all, I can totally understand her why she wants to back down.

I wonder if Brad would continue working even for his family life too? I’m sure he’ll speak out on this soon. Both Brad and Angelina are talented actors. I like Brad’s work too. He’s starred in a lot of really really good movies such as “Sleepers”, “Meet Joe Black”, “Fight Club”, “Se7en”, “The Ocean’s trilogy”, “Twelve Monkeys”, etc. He too also had his share of starring in some pretty bad films like “The Mexican” and “Burn After Reading” were both horrible films. His new film “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” doesn’t look too interesting to me either so I’ll wait on DVD for that one.

I’m dissapointed that Joaquin Phoenix is quitting movies as I want Phoenix to continue, but I don’t really care if Angelina and Brad backs out though.

Lesnar vs. Couture this Saturday…will you watch?

Leave a comment

I am not much of a UFC fan but I’m slowly starting to watch it more often. I am curious to see this match. Legend vs. Icon, Randy Couture the Legend and Brock Lesnar a wrestling icon. Brock Lesnar a young fighter in his 30’s has only been in UFC for a short time and he already gets a huge opportunity at the Heavyweight title against one of the biggest legends in UFC.

This fight is going to be interesting and I will definitely be watching this Saturday night. This will be an unpredictable match because both dudes are huge and both are pretty tough. It will be brutal and there will be a lot of brawling. Will Lesnar become the new Champ or will Couture retain? You just never know what will happen.

My prediction? I think Lesnar will get it.
