BREAKING NEWS: Sam Raimi is game for “Evil Dead 4”!!! :-)

Leave a comment

MTV News was at Comic Con San Diego over the weekend and they interviewed Sam Raimi while he was there to promote “Drag Me To Hell”. Of course, MTV couldn’t resist about asking him if he’ll do another Evil Dead movie, Sam Raimi simply replied back that he loved to do another one!

OMG! YES!

As long as Sam Raimi keeps it old school Evil Dead and as long as he reunites with Rob Tapert and Bruce as Ash, I’ll definitely go see it. I’m sure Sam, Rob, and Bruce will be down for it.

“Evil Dead” deserves to close the series, “Army of Darkness” ended with Ash in S-mart so I imagine they will pick up from there in Evil Dead 4, it would make sense.

God, I hope their new album don’t suck. I hope they go back to their old roots by rockin’ it hard and tight. I want the true Ac/Dc back.

Can’t wait to hear the new song in August.

It would be a shame if Kelsey leaves us too, I don’t think the world is ready to lose Kelsey yet so hope he gets well soon.

He’s a talented actor, I’ve always loved the guy.

Report: Amy Winehouse hospitalized again…sorry I lost count…

Leave a comment

*sigh* When will this woman ever learn? Amy Winehouse was rushed to the ER room at a London hospital due to a reaction with medication. She is likely to be released tomorrow but she will be watched overnight to keep an eye on her.

The last time she was sent to the hospital it was rumoured by her father Mitch that she is diagnosed with emphysema due to use of crack/cocaine.

Her husband Blake has been sentenced an even longer jail sentence for 27 months for assault and obstructing justice.

The Associated Press reports:

She’ll die before the end of the year, I just know it. Please don’t die on us, Amy.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith thoughts…

Leave a comment

So I’ve been playing Guitar Hero: Aerosmith the last couple of days. My thoughts? It is pretty much the same exact thing as Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Except it’s a different band and different songs. It’s still a fun game to play though.

The truth about Guitar Hero and Rock Band, there is no such thing as “beating” those games, which is called a “sandbox” games which you can never beat them. They are games that you can stop playing whenever you feel like stopping.

For Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, I’m just practising in the “expert” level mode. I ain’t playing the “career” just yet. I probably gonna be playin’ this game all week.

Report: Mutt Williams and The DUI Crash of Hell…

Leave a comment

“Indiana Jones 4” and “Transformers” star Shia Labeouf was arrested for DUI early last Sunday morning at a 3:00 a.m. collission in Los Angeles, C.A. Labeouf’s vehicle was rolled over when the actor tried to take a left turn. Reports say that Labeouf had a female passenger along with him. Labeouf was driving a truck and when it rolled over, the truck stopped and was left upside down. Both Labeouf and his female guest are alive and so is the victim he crashed into. The investigation is still on going.

Labeouf is not in the jail cell just yet, he is being treated for injuries at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center hospital in Los Angeles.

See the Associated Press report here:

Read a lot more on the story here at TMZ:

http://www.tmz.com/

Where is Indy or Optimus Prime when you need them? Oh wait, those are just a movie. So there is no possible way they could have saved Shia’s life from the crash.

Look like Mutt was just leaving a bar with a chick he just met. It ain’t cool to drink and drive. Walk or take a taxi, kids.

Cool Video: “W.” teaser leaked to the internets!

Leave a comment

Oliver Stone’s film “W.” which is a biopic film on our soon to be former president George W. Bush has been leaked online. The film stars Josh Brolin as George W. and James Cromwell plays George Bush Sr.

My thoughts on the film? I think it actually looks pretty promising. It looks real good and I might actually go see it in theater after all. The video does not allow embedding so I will just post the link.

Enjoy while it’s on before Oliver forces youtube to take it down.

P.S. My mistake, Josh Brolin plays George W. Bush throughout the entire film, they just use makeup effects on Josh when he reaches the middle aged, James Cromwell plays George W’s father who also our President at one time. Edited for corrections.

Fun things to do in San Diego…

Leave a comment

I was just doing more research of more fun things to do in San Diego, California for my vacation for a week. There is a few more things that caught my eye again. Other interesting things to do besides the beach and the San Diego zoo. I want to try and make it the best vacation ever so I’m online looking for cool things to do.

One thing that definitely caught my eye right away, is that there is this musuem called the San Diego Air and Space musuem located at Balboa Park. In that Air and Space musuem, has a special musuem called “The Star Trek Exhibition”, it’s a musuem dedicated to nothing but Star Trek.

Check it out:

http://www.startrektickets.com/index.html

Look at all the cool things you get to do in that museum, you get to sit in the Captain’s original chair on the original Enterprise set from the original TV series, you get to take a Starship enterprise tour, you get to visit the actual Transporter room where you beam up places and stand on it too, you get to ride through a computerized galaxy in space, you also get to visit the Enterprise from Star Trek the Next Generation and get to sit on Captain Picard’s chair…

Since I’m such a huge Star Trek fan, I’m gonna fuckin’ love this musuem and yes, I will probably be all over it and go crazy! I’m a lifelong Star Trek fanatic and I definitely gotta check this out!!!!!

Check out a few photos of the Star Trek museum here doing a random google search:

http://photos.signonsandiego.com/gallery1.5/080620trek/NL_StarTrek287479x008

Amazing!!!! That Star Trek museum will make you actually feel like you’re right in the TV series and being a part of it! I GOTTA GO TO THAT! I will try to order tickets to that museum sometime before my vacation so I can have tickets in handy when I go down there.

Another thing I want to do is check out “Sea World – San Diego” to see all the wild sea animals:

http://www.seaworld.com/sandiego/

Tickets to that Sea World is not that bad, it’s around 60 dollars for a day.

I will be bringing lots and lots of spending money to my vacation, so it will be all good! Can’t wait for San Diego, the vacation is getting closer and I’m leaving August 21st, that’s the day of my flight to get there.
