Report: “Inglorious Bastards” begins filming!!!

Leave a comment

Quentin Tarantino has finally begun work on “Inglorious Bastards” in Germany, just starting off with principal photography.

The cast so far:

Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Melanie Laurent, Christoph Waltz, Daniel Bruhl, Eli Roth, Samm Levine, B.J. Novak, Til Schweiger, Gedeon Burkhard, Paul Rust, Michael Bacall, Omar Doom, Sylvester Groth, Julie Dreyfus, Jacky Ido, August Diehl, Martin Wuttke, Richard Sammel, Christian Berkel, Sanke Mohring, Michael Fassbender, Mike Myers, Rod Taylor, Denis Menochet and Cloris Leachman.

Look like Brad Pitt and Mike Myers will be the two big leading stars of the film. Tarantino tried to ask Leonardo Dicaprio for the film, but look like Leo turned the film down. This also pretty much confirms Sylvester Stallone will not be in the film as well. Oh well. Maybe Stallone and Tarantino will get the opportunity to work together in the future.

Good news that the film is finally in production. Go Tarantino! Bring it on!

CD Review: Ac/Dc “Black Ice”…

Leave a comment

Just finished listening to Ac/Dc’s “Black Ice” the entire album from the link below the post here. My thoughts.

I really enjoyed it. It’s quite a good album. Nothing amazing or nothing mind blowing, but exceptionally good. It’s just typical Ac/Dc. Same sound, same style. The usual great guitar playing by Angus and Malcolm. “Black Ice” is no return to “Back In Black” or “The Razor’s Edge”, “Black Ice” is more aiming toward the Bon Scott era. “Black Ice” has the classic Ac/Dc sound back. I would like to give vocal credit to Brian Johnson.

During the bands long 8 year hiatus, Brian Johnson must be working hard on his vocals. He has improved. He is not just a screamer on this new album, he actually “sings”. There are songs where Brian sings in a deep voice, to regular singing, to high pitch screaming. The earlier Ac/Dc albums, you hear Brian screaming pretty much throughout the entire song, but not with this album. He actually “sings” which is good.

I wish the album could be a little better but other than that, I’m happy to see the band back after all these years!

My favorite tracks: “Rock N’ Roll Train”, “Big Jack”, “Stormy May Day”, “Decibel”, “Money Made” and the title track “Black Ice”.

Score for Ac/Dc’s “Black Ice” = *** (3 stars as in good)

Report: China planning to make Disney’s “Mulan” a live action movie…

Leave a comment

The China FIlm Group is partnering with Xinhua Media Entertainment to adapt Disney’s animated film “Mulan” into a live action movie. The companies have already found a director to make “Mulan” a live action film but they will announce who the director will be at AFM.

The animated version of “Mulan” were meant for children and people of all ages, the film makers plan to make a live action more adult oriented. Look like it maybe filmed in China, but the live action “Mulan” could possibly get a world wide release.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

Interesting.

I have seen the Disney version of “Mulan” before and it’s actually very good.

I like some Disney animated movies, not a lot but I do like a few.

Like “Snow White”, “Pinocchio”, “Cinderella”, “Bambi”, etc. I mostly like the older Disney animated flicks, the newer ones I don’t really care for.

Confirmed: Green Day in studio working on new album with Butch Vig (Nirvana’s “Nevermind” producer)…

Leave a comment

Shirley Manson the former Garbage singer was the first to bring up the news that Green Day is in the studio working on a new album with Nirvana producer, Butch Vig.

Turns out that the news is true, after Green Day posted a video in their official youtube account with the band recording in the studio with Butch Vig in the studio with the band.

The band is in the studio recording their follow up from 2004’s “American Idiot” which an excellent album by the way, their best record they’ve ever done in my opinion.

Report: Ringo Starr ditches his own fans, no longer wants to hear from them…

Leave a comment

Ringo Starr one of the only two surviving members of the Beatles, posted a videoblog on his official website, saying that starting on Oct. 20th he will no longer accept fan mail whether fans write to him by e-mail or regular air mail. When Oct. 20th comes, he will toss all fan mail in the garbage. He will continue to answer fan mail before Oct. 20th but when that day comes fan mail will be over. He will also no longer be signing autographs as well.

He claims he has too much to do. Pretty ironic, since he has a contest on the front page of his website, where he will give a away an autographed drumhead when the deadline to that contest is Oct. 30th. What’s wrong with that picture? Don’t use going on tour as an excuse to ditch fans.

See the video at this website here:

He’s probably getting sick of fans writing him about the Beatles so much, when he probably wishes they would write him about his solo music.

Cool Videos: Some Lisa Ann videos…

Leave a comment

These are Lisa Ann videos, the woman who is playing Sarah Palin in the “Nailin Palin” porn. These are scenes taken from earlier Lisa Ann porn movies. There are no nudity and no explicit pornography in youtube since the site doesn’t allow that stuff.

But there is dirty talk in these videos though. Just to give you a preview of what Lisa Ann is all about before you see “Nailin’ Palin”. If you like what you see, go to youtube, type in Lisa Ann in the search, and all sorts of her videos will come up.

I’m sure there are plenty of uncensored Lisa Ann porns on the web on other adult porn sites but make sure you have good spyware/virus protections so you don’t get ad attacks if you’re going to do that though.

EDIT TO ADD: If you’re reading my blog at work, this blog entry IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK. So to avoid getting yourself fired, it’s best that you wait to view these videos when you get home.

Thought: What is wrong with Janet Jackson?

Leave a comment

So Janet Jackson is cancelling a bunch of shows because she is feeling ill for whatever is wrong with her. My thoughts?

Who cares. Let her rot.

She is an untalented worthless piece of trash. She is also one of the biggest egos in the music industry.

Why does this have to be news? Everybody gets sick. It happens to everybody.

Her boob controversy at the Superbowl that year with Justin Timberlake is what made her turn into a bitch, she said it was an accidental wardrobe malfunction when I don’t buy it at all. I think it was done on purposely just so people can care about her again. She also blamed the label of her failed new album which is also a turn off and offensive.

Who cares. She deserves to suffer after all the shit she treated the music industry. Why feel sorry about this stupid woman. She’s taking the high road like her brother Michael. She’s an ugly skank who is not hot looking at all.

She should just end her career and quit. Let her suffer. I’m sick of her.
