Report: PETA at war with Ben & Jerry’s, wants famous ice cream giant to use human breast milk instead of cows…

Leave a comment

PETA is on the attack again. The website that protests abuse against animals named PETA sent a letter to the Ben & Jerry’s company begging them to use baby breast milk from a human mother instead of using milk from cows. They feel that using milk from cows is abuse to them as well.

Can PETA become more insane? I wonder what breast milk would taste like at an adult age. The people at PETA must enjoy drinking breast milk if they want Ben & Jerry’s to use it that bad.

Maybe milk from cow farms should be banned in the USA and all milk bought from grocery stores should be breast milk instead.

Thought: McCain wanting Friday’s debate postponed, just proves that he is the right man for president…

Leave a comment

Why did McCain pull out of the David Letterman appearance? Because the man has better and important things to do than appear on TV talk shows. Why does McCain want to postpone Friday’s debate? Because the man continues to show that he is “country first” by wanting to help out Bush’s bail out plan while Obama is concentrating on trying to win the upcoming election. There are more important things to worry about than the election and that is what McCain is concentrating on, trying to make the country better. Nobama continues to prove how much of an ego he is.

Bush’s bail out is pretty huge and in my opinion, I find it insane that the debate plans to go on this Friday. McCain is once again, the right here and being a true realist. Bow down before McCain, he is the next president of the US.

Report: Ac/Dc refuses to sell music on Itunes, the band says they make albums, not singles…

Leave a comment

You think Kid Rock is the only musician who hates Itunes and will never sell music on there? You can add Ac/Dc to the list. The band Ac/Dc refuses to sell their music to Apple’s Itunes because they feel “they make albums, not hit singles”. What they mean is that they feel that all their music is a work of art to listen through an entire album all at once, they don’t want fans just choosing one or two songs they like off the album to listen to when they should listen to an entire album. That is what Angus Young is talking about and why he hates Itunes.

In other words, fans shouldn’t concentrate on listening to just “hit singles” only, when they really should be listening to an entire album.

Angus is dead on right, I agree with him 100%. 🙂

I have noticed a lot of people out there only concentrate on “hit singles” when buying albums or just picking their favorite songs to listen to on the album instead of listening to the whole thing.

That is not me when I listen to music.

When I listen to music, I always listen throughout the entire album, I am not picky and choosy with songs, I normally listen to an entire album.

Those that concentrate on hit radio singles only, have no clue on what music is supposed to be about. I’m not a radio hit single guy either, never was.

Report: Warner Bros. greenlights “I Am Legend” prequel…with Will Smith returning…

Leave a comment

Warner Bros. studios has greenlighted a prequel to the hit film “I Am Legend” that stars Will Smith. Since the film made a sky rocketing $584 million worldwide, Warner Bros. wanted to keep the franchise going but since it is difficult to make a sequel of the film, it’s leading character was killed at the end, they had no choice but to make it a prequel instead to keep Will Smith as the leading star.

Will Smith is set to return as Robert Neville and director Francis Lawrence is set to return to direct again.

The prequel will focus on the final days of humanity in New York City before a man-made virus caused a plague that made Neville the only survivor. The prequel will explain why the virus turned human beings into monsters. The film will probably show Neville’s normal life before the city was attacked.

Good idea for a prequel. I liked “I Am Legend” it was entertaining. There are lots of unexplained questions in the film that needs to be answered and there is a need of a prequel I think. I’d say bring it on! I’d go see it.

I like the National Treasure films. I’ve seen the first two in theater and will probably end up seeing the third one as well. The 2nd one was ok and pretty fun, but I hope the third one will be a great one this time.

Report: Oprah Winfrey to voice in Disney’s “Princess and the Frog” animated film…

Leave a comment

Oprah Winfrey, America’s legendary TV talk show host will star and do voice overs in the upcoming new Disney animated flick “The Princess and the Frog”. Oprah will voice the character Eudora the mother of the main character Princess Tiana.

The film is set to release sometime in 2009 and will be worked on in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Randy Newman composed some of the music for the film as well.

Oprah has previously done animated work for Jerry Seinfeld’s “Bee Movie” and “Charlotte’s Web”.

Expect Oprah to plug this movie pretty heavily on her TV show. She’ll invite the entire cast and crew on her show like the last two movies she did.

I don’t really care for Oprah that much but her acting was fantastic in Spielberg’s “The Color Purple” though, that’s the only thing I give her respect for.

BREAKING NEWS: Johnny Depp also confirmed for “Pirates of the Carribean 4” and “The Lone Ranger”…

Leave a comment

Look like Johnny Depp is going to be one busy man in Hollywood!

He is not only confirmed to star as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland”, he is also set to return for “Pirates of the Carribean 4” to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow once more. He is also set to star in “The Lone Ranger” remake.

More blockbusters for Johnny. I thought Disney was done with the Pirates of the Carribean films? I thought wrong.

I loved the first Carribean movie, hated the second one, and didn’t even see the third one yet. I lost interest in the Carribean flicks. If the 4th one gets my attention enough, I might see it in theater depending on how good it looks. I’m not such a fan of those movies anymore.

How many more Depp/Burton films are we going to see? I like both of those guys, but come on, it seems that they can’t get enough of each other.

When will Tim Burton ever do an original film again?

Myspace music launch thoughts….

Leave a comment

Yep, so myspace launched “Myspace music” today where 4 different major labels team up with myspace to compete with Itunes.

So this means that the music industry is officially dead, and so is myspace. All dead. Myspace music will not help get more myspace users so they can try to top facebook again. All “Myspace music” is gonna do is turn off more users to leave the site and I’ll have a post about this in the future to explain why myspace gets worse and worse everytime.

The hell with myspace. This is just another ploy to feed Rupert Murdoch more cash into his empire.

I don’t understand why so many unsigned and indie bands support that site so much when they know deep down inside that site is completely useless for music promotion.

I’ll have another post on this soon.
