Report: “Inglorious Bastards” heading to Universal?

Leave a comment

It looks like Quentin Tarantino’s WWII project “Inglorious Bastards” will land at Universal Studios. The studio has inked a deal with the Weinstein Co. to finally bring Tarantino’s new flick to the big screen.

Tarantino is also getting close to signing Brad Pitt to the leading role as he just met up with Brad to ask him in person.

Filming is scheduled to begin this fall in Germany and France. Brad Pitt is the first cast member to be considered to this flick so far. Tarantino continues to shoot down rumours of Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Willis being in the flick too.

It’s great that he’s finally getting this project off the ground, looking forward to it. Could this film possibly dominate box office as the Dark Knight did? It wouldn’t surprise me.

Oh my! I hope San Diego doesn’t hit another earthquake when I head down there in August. A pretty big earthquake hit both Los Angeles and San Diego, shaking buildings pretty good but no one was killed or injured thankfully. The earthquake happend at 11:42 a.m.

I posted this in the “celebrities” section since Los Angeles and San Diego are both popular with celebrities living in both cities.

Glad it wasn’t a huge quake.

Cool Video: The Star Trek Exhibition musuem in San Diego…

Leave a comment

I’m looking at youtube videos of people visiting the Star Trek Exhibition museum in San Diego at Balboa Park in the Air and Space Museum. I really gotta go to this badily. Judging by the videos, the people walking around the musuem are carrying digital cameras around, so it looks like they do allow cameras there.

When I go to that musuem, I probably will bring my digital cam to the Star Trek musuem to take a bunch of pics.

In the Transporter room you not only get the opportunity to stand on it, you also get the actual opportunity to get beamed up. How cool is that? I can’t wait to go to this. It only costs $24.00 to get in this musuem, so that’s a great price! According to their website, the musuem is open 7 days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. so I’ll have my chance to get in and check the place out during my week vacation.

Of course, I will check out the rest of the Air and Space Musuem other than the Star Trek one. Going to musuems is one of my favorite things to do when on a vacation. The rest of the Air and Space Museum will probably be nothing about Airplanes and outer space.

Thought: Willing to give Adamle a chance, and also why he was picked as RAW GM…

Leave a comment

You know, if I think about it long enough, Mike Adamle just might be a perfect choice for a RAW GM, I shouldn’t really jump in quick and say he’s going to suck at this role. I should give it more time, watch him on RAW more and then I can judge his performance. RAW wants to go for a different direction. They want to do something that hasn’t been done before, so they picked a veteran announcer to be RAW GM. WWE wanted to give someone who is not that well known a chance and an opportunity to get more screen time. With Mike Adamle being RAW GM, it could turn out interesting and be intense.

Mike Adamle is a legendary sports announcer, I’m sure all the sports fans outside of the wrestling community already knows who the man is. Mike Adamle becoming RAW GM is a ploy to get more ratings. To help attract American Gladiator fans and sports fans to start watching RAW. I think that is the main reason why WWE has chosen him.

To watch the ending of last night’s RAW watch the video below. Watch it quick before it gets pulled down.

Confirmed: Rambo extended cut DVD/Blu Ray in the works…

Leave a comment

Do you think Sylvester Stallone’s latest flick “Rambo” was too short and you want the film to be even longer? Well you’re in for a surprise! The Digital Bits today confirmed that Sly and DVD producer Cliff Stephenson is in the works of a longer version of 2008’s “Rambo”.

Quote from article:

From our panel at Comic-Con, DVD producer Cliff Stephenson told the audience that he’ll be working on an extended cut of Sylvester Stallone’s “Rambo” for DVD and Blu-ray release sometime in 2009.

http://www.thedigitalbits.com/#mytwocents

Great news! I know Sly filmed a lot more than 90 minutes of the movie! So happy he’s doing a longer version!

This means we’ll get to see a longer version of the final battle scene at the end of the film where Rambo goes nuts!

I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!

Report: Bad news for “Ghostbusters: The Video Game”, could the game get cancelled?

Leave a comment

After all the recent hype of “Ghostbusters: The Video Game” that could be released to our video game consoles sometime this year or next year, I got some bad news to report, that the highly anticipated video game could be getting cancelled. Which means the game could get canned and not get released at all.

The reason is Activision is refusing to publish and release games that were made by Vivendi. Ghostbusters is not the only game that is in danger of not releasing, 50 Cent’s own video game, the Chronicles of Riddick and several other titles maybe getting ditched too.

IGN reports:

I don’t think there is anything to worry about. The people making the “Ghostbusters” video game will find a different video game publishing company to release it through. The game will be a hit, there is no way it could be cancelled and it would suck so hard if it got cancelled after all the hype and excitement for it.

I feel bad for the Ghostbusters. Nobody in Hollywood wants a Ghostbusters 3 and nobody in the video game world wants to see a Ghostbusters game. Shame, shame.

I hope the game does get released.

Report: Christopher Nolan surprised by success of “The Dark Knight”…

Leave a comment

We’re not the only ones surprised of the huge success of “The Dark Knight”, even Christopher Nolan himself is surprised and didn’t even think the film would be this much of a hit.

More on it here:

http://uk.reuters.com/article/burningIssues/idUKSP11985620080729

Heath Ledger being gone is not the reason for “The Dark Knight’s” success, the reason for the Dark Knight’s success is because it’s the best Batman film ever made, a film with perfection.

While I’m sure everyone went to see it just to see Heath as the Joker, I’m sure people saw it because Batman is such a popular comic superhero character. There’s millions of Batman fans out there.

Report: New “Robocop” movie promises to be R rated…

Leave a comment

With the likes of “Die Hard 4”, “Terminator: Salvation”, and “Beverly Hills Cop 4” all being rated PG-13, the producer of the new Robocop film promises the film will be rated R. That means the film will still have it’s violent content and lots of profanity. While the first two Robocop films were rated R, the third one in the trilogy was PG-13.

Remember, this new Robocop film is not another sequel, it’s a “reboot” which means starting over again.

Very cool, so glad they are considering an R rating, to be an adult oriented Robocop film instead of a family friendly one. That’s the way Robocop should be.

BREAKING NEWS: Mike Adamle named new RAW General Manager…

Leave a comment

Legendary sports announcer Mike Adamle was named the new RAW General Manager announced by Shane McMahon at the end of tonight’s RAW. The announcement was left with no crowd reaction at all. I myself was even watching the screen with a wtf look on my face.

Before Adamle joined WWE, he worked with NBC Sports, American Gladiators in the early 90’s, and worked for Sportscenter for a short time. He was also a former NFL football player who played for the Jets, the Bears, and the Chiefs.

At the end of RAW, Adamle did his first job by announcing the main event for this year’s “Summerslam” which will be John Cena vs. Batista.

My thoughts?

I’m dissapointed. Stupid WWE! I was actually expecting it to be Vicky Guerrero but I guess WWE is keeping her on Smackdown because that was Eddie’s home brand. I would have liked to have seen Vicky as RAW GM better than Adamle.

I hope Adamle don’t last long and they’ll make a better choice in the future.
