Sylvester STallone drops big hint that “Expendables 4” is his next movie???

Leave a comment

Sly’s last couple of movies were “Rambo: Last Blood”, “The Suicide Squad” and “Samaritan”. I haven’t seen “Samaritan” yet but will get the BluRay when it’s out.

Anyhow, Sly’s just dropped the big hint that “Expendables 4” is probably gonna be his next film. They have a script ready to go and it’s gonna start filming soon?

The goal with these Expendables film series is to have a bunch of big name actors all in one movie to go “old school” in action films. That’s the whole point of ’em. So far Sly had almost all the big action stars in the first three films.

Question is, who is going to be casted for “Expendables 4”? Here comes all the guessing games.

I’m sure the main cast will return: Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li and Terry Crews. Arnold will probably return but will Bruce Willis? We don’t know about Bruce since he refused to star in the 3rd one but we’ll see.

I’m sure Sly will add a bunch more big names to cast… here are some wild guesses…. “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Chris Hemsworth might be possibilities… and I’m hoping and praying Sly gets Kurt Russell and Jackie Chan this time. Sly’s been trying to get Kurt and Jackie since the first one but they kept turning it down… hopefully Sly can get them this time.

One big name action star who hasn’t had a role in a Expendables yet was Steven Seagal. I’m sure Sly wants him pretty badly but as long as Avi Lerner is still producing Expendables 4 in which he is, no chance of that happening of Seagal being in EX4. As some of you may or may not know, Seagal and Lerner don’t get along, they had a big falling out and Seagal refuses to work with Lerner. Sly and Seagal has no beef with each other, they get along great still, it’s Avi Lerner that Seagal hates. Although, Steven Seagal would be an awesome addition…. too bad it’s never gonna happen.

Other names I’d like to see get added: Michael Rooker (Sly did Cliffhanger with him), Carl Weathers would be cool, Daniel Craig, Michael Douglas and John Travolta maybe? It’ll be cool to see Sly and Travolta re-team again.

It’ll be interesting to see who’ll they get for this one.

Forcing Masks and Vaccinations on everybody is dumb, what happened to freedom of expression???

2 Comments

If you want to tell the truth and speak your mind about Covid then be prepared to get censored in social media… either get fact checked, get sent to social media jail, etc. Whatever. If you get fully vaccinated and get a bad reaction and you want to talk about it publicly, get ready for a liberal backlash. Be prepared for a heated debate…

… like what musician Eric Clapton is going through. Clapton got himself vaccinated but had some bad experiences with it… feared that he couldn’t play guitar anymore ’cause of it. Sure enough, liberal backlash for Clapton. He is getting attacked like mad just for speaking the truth.

Is this the kind of country we’re going to live in nowadays? I thought this was America? What happened to freedom of expression? I knew our “freedom of speech” was being taken away for decades but no one believed me.

Masks and vaccines aren’t for everybody. If you want to mask up and get vaccinated, that’s your prerogative but it should be a choice. It shouldn’t be forced upon every single person. On top of that, I don’t think masks and vaccines work anyways ’cause you can still get covid either way.

I never got vaccinated and never will. I’m done with masks now too.

Covid is just about done but sure enough, the control and bullying never stops ’cause they don’t want to lose their power. Period.

Speaking of Clapton, I’ve been a massive fan of his for years and even more of a fan of his now. I love what he’s doing…. fighting back at the covid control and bullying. I’m hoping he keeps it going and doesn’t bow down to the left. Clapton is a Brit, yes but is he a closet conservative as well? It’s not yet known that he maybe a conservative politically but probably he is.

Most governors and politicians are just going by what the CDC and Fauci says which is dumb. Fuck the CDC and Fauci. Everybody acting like “science” know it alls is getting crazier and crazier, I’ve had it.

Nicolas Cage explains why he doesn’t make big Budget movies anymore and why he’s doing Indie Films from now on…

2 Comments

Pretty interesting article. Ever wonder why Nicolas Cage, the actor from the 90’s who made all these big budget movies that were big hits… like all the Bruckheimer films he made and the National Treasure films. All that stuff… well Nic here finally explains why he left that lifestyle.

Doing big budget movies must be overwhelming for him, I guess… plus he doesn’t get much freedom for his acting. You must play the “yes man” and do what the director says. Nic just didn’t enjoy that lifestyle, making the big budget blockbusters, ya know what I mean?

Well in indie movies, Nic gets a lot more freedom and he gets to say his lines however he wants to and now you know why Nic is a way better actor in the indie films.

Nic is clearly not into this for the fame at all ’cause he’s not too worried about being a big name. He doesn’t care about fame and money. He makes movies ’cause it’s his passion obviously.

Nic did the movie “Pig” ’cause the story reminded him about himself. I’m a huge Nic Cage fan and I can’t wait to see “Pig” myself and I’ll check it out. The last Nic Cage indie film I saw was “Willie’s Wonderland” on Hulu and it was freakin’ great, loved it. You should check it out too.

Nic quitting Hollywood to make indie films just makes me respect this dude even more.

Ian Anderson puts Jethro Tull out of retirement and the band set to release new album early next year…

Leave a comment

Ian Anderson, who is the frontman of legendary prog rock band, Jethro Tull dropped the surprise announcement this week that he put Jethro Tull out of retirement. Yes, you heard that right that Jethro Tull… the band with the tall man who sings the lead vocals, plays acoustic guitar and the flute for the legendary prog rock band who’s been together since the late 60’s. Ian put the band in retirement in 2012 and they haven’t released any new music until now.

Band signs new record deal with major label and is already set to release new studio record in 2022 titled, “The Zealot Gene”.

https://ultimateclassicrock.com/jethro-tull-the-zealot-gene-album/

The current lineup of J-Tull has an all new lineup and the new lineup excludes Martin Barre on the guitar, whose been an important member of J-Tull for years. Question is, why is Martin out? Well I read that Martin and Ian don’t speak with each other anymore. Not sure if they’re no longer getting along or what but I believe Martin just wants to move on with his own musical adventures.

Even if J-Tull has an all new lineup, I’m sure they will still sound like Jethro Tull even after all these years. I would think their sound will still be the same. That same blend of acoustic folk and hard rock with Ian’s vocals and flute.

I’m a huge fan of Tull as I own 3 of their albums on vinyl: “Aqualung”, “Thick as a Brick” and “Benefit”. I want to get more of their stuff though ’cause I’m a huge fan. Love them but I’m more into their older stuff, though.

I’m not sure if I’m gonna get their new album or not. I’m sure they will release a new song pretty soon and after they release a new song and if I like it enough, I’ll probably get it. We’ll see.

Will the band go on a full fledged world tour in support of the new record too? Probably.

Who cares if Mel Gibson is a conservative and Trump supporter, good for him, actually!!!

Leave a comment

The famous actor and director Mel Gibson is in a leftist backlash, simply because a video surfaced online of the actor attending the UFC ppv over the weekend. Yeah, Mel went to UFC 264 which had Poirier vs. McGregor 3 as the main event. The short video that surfaced the internet showed Donald Trump walking through the crowd with of course, Dana White in front of him. Mel was in the crowd himself, close by to Trump and when it appears that Trump stopped to face Mel, the actor saluted the former president.

That sends the leftist internet in an uproar, sure enough. The internet went crazy about it.

The thing is, Mel being a possible conservative is nothing new. While the actor dropped a few hints of his conservative views here and there over the years, he has never really went public about his political views. I think he just dropped even more hints that he maybe conservative and hiding in the “conservative” closet. Mel just gave even more clues that he maybe a Trump supporter as well.

Of course, Mel is getting attacked for it pretty badly. Believe it or not, there are many more conservative actors out there… they just don’t go public with their conservative views ’cause they’re afraid their acting careers would come to an end ’cause of it. If actors publicly came out as conservative… no agencies would sign them, studios wouldn’t work with them and neither would directors. I remember James Woods saying on twitter that he doesn’t really work in Hollywood anymore ’cause he came out as conservative and all that stuff. The Star Wars, “Mandalorian” actress Gina Carano just got cancelled from that show ’cause of her conservative views.

I find nothing wrong with Mel being conservative and like I repeatedly said there are plenty more out there. I wish they would all speak out more, though ’cause they really need to fight back at leftist Hollywood.

I like Mel Gibson, always been a fan of his work. Sure, he’s done some and said some terrible things in the past but I believe in this thing called “forgive and forget”. Well, not many believes in that anymore. There are too many assholes out there who don’t believe in forgiveness… well I do. We all make mistakes, we’re human.

Anyway, Mel’s a cool cat, I find nothing wrong with him in my eyes and I just love that he’s a big UFC fan too. Mel’s made a mistake in the past, he learned from them and got himself better over the years so get over it y’all but of course, most people never will.

Stallone news

Sylvester STallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, two icons of action movies are best friends in real life which is amazing really…

Leave a comment

Usually actors and actresses have no time for other people due to their busy and hectic acting career. That’s not the case with Sylvester Stallone, though. This man is not afraid to be friends with other movie stars as he spends a lot of time with some of them and keeps in touch with many of them. Sly is close friends with movie stars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Pacino, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Frank Grillo, Mel Gibson, Carl Weathers, Bruce Willis and the list goes on and on. Even Jackie Chan is Sly’s buddy even though they have never starred in a movie together.

While Sly is friends with many actors, he’s obviously the most closest to Arnold. Why didn’t Sly and Arnie star in a movie together in the 80’s and 90’s when they could have? Well they didn’t want to be competitive and “ego” just got in the way for the most part. They used to hate other and used to be “enemies” back then. I guess they waited for the right time to bury the hatchet and now they’re like best brothers which is crazy.

Just imagine if Sly and Arnold did make an action movie together in the 80’s and 90’s? It would have been huge for sure and would have broken box office records. It’s too bad it didn’t happen. Well they are finally starting to star in movies after all these years with them two teaming for The Expendables series and the first “Escape Plan” movie. They’ll probably do another movie together in the future, though and will probably end up being “Expendables 4”.

Arnold and Sly continue to hang out. They just reunited after all the social distancing stuff with Covid and both guys are probably fully vaccinated so they’re starting to hang out again.

Richard Donner was an important director in Hollywood… Sad Loss…

Leave a comment

This week we lost film director, Richard Donner, which is a real bummer. Whether you want to realize it or not, I’m sure you’ve all seen a Richard Donner directed film especially his most famous movies like “Superman I & II”, “The Goonies” and all 4 Lethal Weapon movies. We’ve all seen those.

Richard made movies that was important to our childhood especially movies like “Superman: The Movie” and “The Goonies” which I’m sure a lot of us have seen like over 100 times.

Richard Donner was the one who brought Superman to the big screen. He was originally signed to direct “Superman I & II” back to back. He was doing both at the same time, I’ve read but then later Warner Bros. fired him and was replaced by Richard Lester.

Richard Donner did other great movies like “The Omen” horror film with Gregory Peck. “Ladyhawke” with Matthew Broderick, “Scrooged” with Bill Murray, “Radioflyer” was also great.

Richard Donner and Mel Gibson both had a long time partnership, they did the 4 Lethal Weapon movies together and Richard directed “Conspiracy Theory” and “Maverick” also both starring Mel Gibson. So Richard and Mel did 6 movies together.

I remember Richard Donner really tried to push for “Goonies II” to happen, he’s been talking about it for a long time. The goal was to bring back the original cast together from the first movie as full grown adults. Donner wanted to bring back everybody, even the two Fratelli brothers (except for Anne Ramsey aka Mama Fratelli who passed in 1988). “Goonies II” ended up not happening and looks like the sequel will be dead for good now.

The above pic in this blog post is a behind the scenes shot of “Superman: The Movie”. Richard Donner posing for a pic with the legendary, Marlon Brando who played Jor-El in the movie, Superman’s father.

Thanks for the entertainment and RIP, Richard. Remember, he was the one who picked Christopher Reeve to play Superman even though he auditioned many other actors before him.

Happy 75th Birthday to Sylvester Stallone!

Leave a comment

Happy birthday, Sylvester Stallone.

The man who is most famous as Rocky, Rambo and Barney Ross turns 75 today. Here he is the man himself in the Insta photo above with an impressive custom made cake made for him.

Sly is a man who I’ve idolized my entire life and still do to this day. Rocky was definitely a hero of mine when I was a child and still love Rocky movies to this day. I’ve collected most of Sly’s films on DVD and BluRay over the years. I never got to meet the man in person yet but I did get an autographed picture that he sent me and got to visit his star at the Hollywood Walk Of Fame once which was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Next on the bucket list is to one day go to Philadelphia to visit the Rocky steps at the art museum and see the Rocky statue with my own eyes. One day that will happen.

So Sly turns 75 today. He is quickly approaching 80 but will Sly retire from action movies any time soon? I remember him saying in interviews plenty of times that he does plan on retiring from acting soon so he can focus on writing and directing more. I’m sure he’s got some more action movies left in him and he’ll probably give us some more. Sly retired Rocky and Sly retired Rambo so he’s done playing those two characters. He hasn’t yet retired Barney Ross, though and he’ll probably give us one more Expendables movie so Expendables 4 is still a big possibility. I’m sure he’s got some acting left in him. Sly is approaching 80’s but he’s still in good shape and capable of acting still so he’ll probably go on a while longer.

I just want Sly to finally finish his “Poe” script and get that movie made… I just want Sly to get that movie off the ground before it’s his time to go if you know what I mean. I want to see Sly’s “Poe” biopic movie so bad but he’s been working on the script for decades ever since he was real young and still working on it now. Everybody’s wants Sly to finish the “Poe” movie so it can be made. We’re all curious about it. We’ll have to keep waiting, I guess.

Just about done collecting David Bowie’s entire album discography… just 3 more left…

Leave a comment

It took me a long time but like the title says, I’m almost done completing David Bowie’s entire album discography. Yeah, for a long time my goal was to collect every album he has ever recorded. Bowie has a total of 27 albums… I have 24 of them so far. Just got three more left to go… I just got to get the “Labrynth” soundtrack and the two albums he did with his Tin Machine band. Just get to those three albums and then I have them all. I do now have every official Bowie album, though which feels pretty good ’cause I’ve always been a huge Bowie superfan.

I only have one David Bowie live album, though… which is the iconic “Bowie Live” album which is an important live album in the history of rock. I plan on getting more Bowie live stuff for sure and after I complete Bowie’s studio discography, I’m gonna start getting his unreleased compilations and B-side albums ’cause he has plenty of those.

I’ve loved Bowie music ever since I was a teenager and yes, he was one artist that got me interested in singing myself. He also helped sparked my interest in songwriting too. I definitely look at Bowie as a huge inspiration and influence in my own songwriting for sure.

The last two Bowie albums I bought were “Tonight” and “Scary Monsters and Super Creeps”. Haven’t listened to those two albums yet but will later this week.

I just love Bowie, man. Just love his voice and songwriting style. He’s definitely one of those artists where you can love everything he did and there’s not one bad song at all by this man. Everything he has done was so great and he’s one artist you’ll never get tired of listening to ever.

He may no longer be with us but “Bowie 4 Life”.

Happy July 4th, y’all…

Leave a comment

We need to be more patriotic now more than ever ’cause the left have been trying to destroy everything what it means to be an American for years. They were successful at banning the Confederate Flag and getting rid of it, now they’re trying to make it look like “The American Flag” is offensive. Well good luck with that ’cause “The American Flag” will be around forever and ever, the same with “The National Anthem” ’cause they’re trying to get rid of that too and replace it with something else.

Some lefties actually are patriotic too and they love the Flag and all that stuff but I believe they’re on the wrong side.

Crazy times we’re in.

Happy 4th y’all… enjoy it and be safe.
