Report: James Cameron has no blessing for “Terminator Salvation” when McG said he did…

Leave a comment

James Cameron who is the director of the first two Terminator films, “Titanic”, and the new upcoming film “Avatar” spoke out on the new “Terminator Salvation” that McG is directing. McG has repeatedly said in the past that Jimmy Cameron was involved in helping out with the new Terminator flick and said that Jimmy had McG’s blessing.

Turns out that McG lied. Jimmy Cameron revealed that he is no part of the “Terminator Salvation” flick and never gave McG any blessing.

Well, lets hope that McG didn’t lie about Arnold being involved too.

While the trailers of “Terminator Salvation” looks impressive, I have a feeling it will be a stinker.

Report: Lars Ulrich speaks on “Death Magnetic” sound quality…

29 Comments

Lars Ulrich finally responded to fans complaining about the sound quality on the new Metallica album “Death Magnetic”. In fan reviews of the album, some complained that they can’t hear Rob’s bass, some say that the CD is too distorted and so on. Lars spoke with Blender magazine when asked about it.

Lars defended “Death Magnetic” sound by saying it’s no different when fans complained about the sound quality on “And Justice For All”. He goes on saying that the internet gives music listeners a voice and to be honest about bands. He then goes on saying “he can’t keep up with this shit”, clearly meaning that he doesn’t care about fan negativity toward Metallica.

He then says how he is so happy and proud that this new album “Death Magnetic” has got mostly positive feedback from the listeners. He explains that Metallica was so committed in getting the direction of the music of what Rick Rubin wanted. Rick Rubin was like a coach for the band and Metallica was doing everything Rick says. He also says that the band wanted “Death Magnetic” to be a live recording.

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again.

Fans are always looking for something new and different to complain about Metallica. Just negative people that do nothing but talk negative trash about Metallica.

But they can keep talking, the haters are part of the reason the band is so huge right now.

I find nothing wrong with the sound quality on “Death Magnetic”, it sounds great to me.

Report: Zack Snyder signs deal to make three video games with EA…

1 Comment

Zack Snyder who is the director of films such as “300” and the upcoming “Watchmen” (if it gets released and not canned by Fox, that is) has signed a deal to make 3 original video games with Electronic Arts. EA inspired to work with Snyder by the success of “300”, since the film’s audience is mostly young men in their 20’s and 30’s who also buys the most video games, EA thinks that Snyder would make really good video games being that “300” movie is almost video game like.

Remember now, Snyder is signed to do three “original” video games, meaning he won’t be doing sequels of other video games or no video games adapted from movies. Totally original.

Variety Reports:

Looking forward to what Snyder is going to come up with, he’ll come up with really good stuff for the video games.

Report: Sylvester Stallone in Bulgaria in search of Rambo 5 locations…

Leave a comment

Is Sylvester a world traveler or what? He sure is. 🙂

Just after receiving his Golden Icon life achievement award at the Zurich Festival he flew right over to Bulgaria in search of filming locations for the next Rambo installment.

While there, Sly meets the Sofia Mayor Boyko Borisov in person since Mayor Boyko is a huge fan of Sly. In the link below, you can see a photo of Sly in Bulgaria.

I think Rambo 5 is Sly’s next movie. That’s what it’s looking like anyways as the news of Rambo 5 keeps coming. Look like Sly already finished the script for Rambo 5 if he’s already out there looking for filming locations.

No actual confirmation from Sly himself if he’s doing Rambo next but I’m sure he will speak out on something soon.

Max Payne looks like a pretty sweet movie. I’m probably gonna go see it. I hope it’s better than “Hitman”.

Thought: Is David Blaine the next David Copperfield or just plain insane?

Leave a comment

I’ve been hearing quite a lot about this dude named David Blaine, who is a magician that resides in New York City. He’s been known to do some wild and crazy suicidal things. He’s been known to do stunts like “Buried Alive”, “Frozen in Time”, the “Vertigo” stunt and his most recent that just happened “The Dive of Death” where he hangs upside down in Central Park for 60 hours.

I think he’s no magician, he’s just a guy out for fame and attention. He’ll never be in David Copperfield’s league. Almost anybody can do all the stunts he’s been doing and they aren’t really as hard as they look. This guy is a douche. I’m sick of hearing about him.

BREAKING NEWS: Matilda Rose wins Heath Ledger’s estate…

Leave a comment

Heath Ledger’s daughter, Matilda Rose, has been awarded to inherit the late actor’s estate. Heath originally wrote a will to give everything to his parents and his sisters but everyone in Heath’s family gave it all to Matilda Rose instead. There was no legal challenge by Michelle Williams although some has speculated the will was written to her.

The executor of the estate would not reveal how much the estate is really worth although a newspaper estimated it is worth about $16.3 million.

The Associated Press reports:

Matilda will be hella rich when when she gets older.

Do you think that little girl deserves this or do you think people are spoiling her too much?

IMO, Heath’s family should have stuck to his wishes that was written on the will.

Sure that little girl’s father is gone, I don’t think Heath would want her growing up with all kinds of people sending her checks, when I assure you that Heath would want her growing up making her own money doing “work” in the real world for her to live a normal life.

Yep, I think they are spoiling her.
