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.

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.

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:

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.
