Report: Indy scored $25 million on opening day Thursday…

Leave a comment

People just love going to the movies on Memorial Day weekend! Indy 4 scored  $25 million on opening day yesterday. That is higher than “Prince Caspian” and “Iron Man” ever made on opening day. Could Indy 4 actually top world records over James Cameron’s “Titanic”? It’s possible.

I still haven’t seen Indy 4 yet, but I definitely will this weekend. I will review it of couse.

Since this film got a lot of mixed reviews, I hope I like it. I probably will although I don’t think it will be the best Indy film.

Thought: Actually, I got a lot more to go in GTA IV…

Leave a comment

I don’t think “Three Leaf Clover” is the final mission for the GTA IV game, I think there’s a lot more missions than that. So actually I’m halfway through the game, I’m just 36% into it. When you know you beat the game, you have to complete the full 100% of the game. Just wanted to clear that out.

“Three Leaf Clover” is a mission ending the 2nd half of the game. It’s a mission where Niko robs a bank in Liberty City where you have to kill all these cops to escape, lol.

Yeah, this game is crazy and violent. I still got ways to go in the game, just found that out and wanted to clear it.

Report: Joe Perry speaks on Steven Tyler checking into rehab…

Leave a comment

Joe Perry the longtime guitarist for Aerosmith spoke to Blender magazine about Steven Tyler’s rehab stint. Joe admits that he doesn’t know why Steven turned himself into rehab and knows nothing about it. Joe says he hopes Steven is okay and in this article Joe even seems a little scared and worried about Steven.

Blender reports:

Sounds Steven turned himself into rehab without the band knowing about it. If he did that, this sounds fishy and sounds like Steven is back into dangerous drugs like coke, heroin, etc.

I pray that Steven is not addicted to that shit again.

Just about done with Grand Theft Auto IV…

Leave a comment

I only have two missions left in Grand Theft Auto IV. After I beat those two missions, I’m done with the game. The final mission is titled “Three Leaf Clover” but I have one more mission to complete before I go to the final one.

While this is an amazing game, the only thing I’m dissapointed about it is, there is not a lot of helicopter flying in this one. Hopefully there’ll be more helicopter flying in Grand Theft Auto V whenever they start making the next one.

After I beat the storyline game in GTA IV, I won’t move on to a different game just yet. I want to try the “online” multiplayer death match so I can play against other people online.

“GTA IV” is actually a pretty simple game, there are only very few missions that are very challenging but other than that, the game is pretty easy. I should have GTA IV beat today.

2 Comments

A smiling and upbeat Michelle Williams shows up on the last minute at Cannes to the premiere of her film “Wendy and Lucy”. In the film she plays the leading role of Wendy. Michelle Williams is the ex-girlfriend of the late Heath Ledger who they have a daughter together named Matilda. Michelle Williams has been out of the spotlight and stayed low for a while since Heath Ledger’s death, this is her first public appearance since Heath’s funeral. The people at Cannes were stunned and amazed when she showed up wearing the white dress and looking gorgeous as ever.

FOXNews reports:

She’ll probably be at the “The Dark Knight” premiere too. “The Dark Knight” premiere this summer will be a night for Heath Ledger for sure. I’m sure plenty of Heath’s celebrity friends and family members will attend “The Dark Knight” premiere.

Thought: David Cook, the Idol winner is fantastic!

Leave a comment

I hardily ever like any of the singers on American Idol in the past, but David Cook is actually really great. He is a good choice for a winner. He’s got a good range and perfect voice for rock music. Since I didn’t watch this year’s Idol, I’ve been in youtbe watching David Cook’s performances. I think I’m sold to this guy, he’s pretty impressive. Watch out Chris Daughtry, Cook could be the next big rock star. Finally, Idol picked a good choice!

Check out a few videos below.

P.S. In the “Baba O’ Reilly” video is that David Cook using one of Eddie Van Halen’s customized amps? 🙂

Report: “Guitar Hero” competes with “Rock Band” videogame…

Leave a comment

Since the “Rock Band” videogames are starting to get more popular, “Guitar Hero” franchise is coming out with a fifth “Guitar Hero” game titled, “Guitar Hero World Tour” as a way to compete with “Rock Band”. In “Guitar Hero World Tour” will give you the ability to play bass, drums, guitar and mic all at once, just like the “Rock Band” game. It will also give you the ability to compose and write your own original music, also it will let you play online for two groups of four people each.

“Guitar Hero World Tour” is slated to release this fall. Yes, this the 5th Guitar Hero game with “Aerosmith: Guitar Hero” being the 4th”, “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock” being the third.

Activision truly is trying to compete with Rock Band by taking their fans and Activision company even said that in this article. Their goal is to be more popular than “Rock Band”. They don’t want “Rock Band” being more popular than “Guitar Hero”.

More on the story here:

I’ll definitely buy “Guitar Hero: Aerosmith” when that comes out this summer, but I won’t be buying this one. “Guitar Hero World Tour” sounds pretty lame and silly, I think it will fail.

Report: WWE Diva opens automobile customization business…

Leave a comment

WWE Diva, Victoria (real name: Lisa Marie Varon)  just opened a customization automobile business in Louisville today. She named the business, Black Widow Customs. The business sells custom made wheels, window tinting, car audio and video, alarms, etc. A business that can make the vehicle of your dreams.

Lisa Marie Varon or Victoria will be at her new business grand opening in person to celebrate it’s opening and sign autographs for fans.

More on it here:

Imagine working at that place! A hot WWE diva opening a car business! Who knew women would be into fixing and repairing cars?

Wouldn’t it be funny as hell if a worker there is working on a car, then she comes in, he gets distracted from his work because he stares at her in admiration all day!

She is a hot woman and it would be hard to work on those cars when she’s in the place. Since she’s a performer in WWE, she’ll be performing and  traveling with WWE a lot so I know she won’t be at her business too much but I’m sure she’ll visit her business once in a while.
