Is it finally time to give Sly Stallone his Oscar for playing Rocky? I’d say yes! It’s long overdue!

Leave a comment

I really meant what I said that I’m very happy for Sly that he finally got recognized for his acting talent. I haven’t seen “Creed” yet but I’m planning on seeing it tomorrow.

Everybody’s always criticizing Sly for his acting talent. Making claims that he’s mostly well-known as an action star but many feel that he isn’t the greatest actor.

I always knew this man has acting talent. He’s even a talented actor in the action movies ’cause I thought he did a great job playing Rambo and movies like “Cliffhanger”, “Assassins”, “Tango & Cash”, “Cop Land”, “Cobra”, etc.

Sly never won an Oscar before but he did get Oscar nominated for Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay for the first “Rocky” film. Yep, I feel it’s finally time to give him his Oscar so I hope the Academy does the right thing.

Yep, Sly’s a talented actor, I always saw that. It’s time to finally see that and silence all of his critics.

Congrats Sly! Well deserved, man! \m/

Right-wing community goes nuts over Leo Dicaprio bear rape scene in “The Revenant” movie…

Leave a comment

Come on people, it’s just a freaking movie, geez! I find nothing wrong with the bear scenes in “The Revenant” and like I just said, it’s a movie. I repeat, JUST A MOVIE!

This is just another example why the right-wing community has been driving me crazy as of late. They can be just as bad as liberals. The right-wing community has been outraged over this thanks to Matt Drudge and his big mouth.

I think “The Revenant” looks awesome and I’ll proudly go see it when it comes out in Jan.

WWE finally realizing that nobody watches them anymore???

Leave a comment

I stopped watching WWE a long time ago. Haven’t been watching in like 3 or 4 years or more so I absolutely know that WWE completely sucks right now so I completely understand where everyone is coming from. WWE just sent out a survey to the WWE Fan Council asking people why they stopped watching and trying to get more information from people who turned away.

http://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe-raw/2015/12/1/9833164/wwe-raw-survey-questions-fan-council

Once in a blue moon, I’ll tune into WWE RAW to see what’s going on but it’s the same old boring crap. WWE isn’t good anymore and the company is getting worse. Vince McMahon really needs to listen to the fans and give them what they want instead of Vince using the company to entertain himself most of the time.

There are many reasons why fans has turned their backs on WWE and I can think of 5 reasons:

  • Fans are tired of the PG rating: A lot of fans feel that a family friendly WWE doesn’t work. We want the edgy stuff back. The dark storylines, bring back the blood, we want the women to show more skin, etc. WWE shouldn’t really be for kids and this is what’s hurting the company. Back in the days during the Attitude Era, WWE was very successful back in the day ’cause that’s what people want to see.
  • Fans are tired of their favorite superstars not getting the recognition they deserve:  Fans wanna see superstars like Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler and Ryback get main event pushes but they are always getting held down by the likes of John Cena, Randy Orton, etc.
  • Storylines are really bad: We keep seeing the same old storylines getting rehashed. They can’t come up with anything new. We’re also pretty much tired of the soap opera thing. We want wrestling. Not “Days of Our Lives” or Jerry Springer.
  • Matches are way too predictable these days: These days you almost always know who’s going to win WWE matches. WWE matches are way too predictable lately which is one of the main reasons why I stopped watching. If you want to keep WWE interesting, how about some unpredictability?
  • We’re tired of John Cena: Need I say more? If WWE wants to be taken seriously then they need to stop ramming John Cena down our throats. This is another big reason most fans stopped watching pretty much. It’s all Cena, Cena, Cena, all the time. Cena getting the most screen time and winning all the main events. *yawn*

Those are pretty much the main reasons why we’re all getting fed up with WWE and it’ll be nice if Vince will listen to the fans for once.

I still love professional wrestling, I just want WWE to get better like most.

Harrison Ford says he enjoyed watching “The Force Awakens” early screening…

Leave a comment

I’m pretty sure Harrison never watched himself in the original Star Wars trilogy when they first came out in theater but Harrison said he saw an early screening of “The Force Awakens” and said that he loved it. When Harrison said he loves it, I think he really meant it not because he’s in it. Of course, you would think that actors would love their own movies that they star in but not always. If Harrison says it’s good then it probably is good. He wouldn’t have done the movie at all if he knew it wasn’t good.

Even though he saw “The Force Awakens” first before the rest of us, he won’t say whether or not Han Solo and Leia are married (I’m sure they are).

It’s also nice to hear that Harrison is still interested in playing Indiana Jones again even though he didn’t confirm the role yet.

There’s a lot of people in social networking criticizing Harrison and they are saying stuff about Harrison getting onto to this movie for the money. Well, if you listen to Harrison toward the end of the interview when talking about Indiana Jones, Harrison made it perfectly clear that he’s not about the money. He was never about the money when making movies ’cause he’s probably in it for the passion, ya know? Acting is what he loves doing. He’s made plenty of movies over the years where he didn’t get paid much and made movies that bombed in the box office so there’s proof that he’s not about the money at all. Once again, acting is his passion and it’s what he loves to do.

Only thing though, Harrison is talking like that Han Solo might get killed off, you can see it in his eyes that something might happen to Solo. He tried to get George Lucas to kill Han Solo off in “Return of the Jedi” but they might be using that idea for “The Force Awakens”. Will Han Solo die in “The Force Awakens”? We’ll have to wait and see. The internet better not spoil the movie for all of us if he does die, though ’cause I’m feeling those spoilers will be all over the place. *sigh*

NBR names “Mad Max: Fury Road” as Best Film, it could win Best Picture at the Oscars as well…

Leave a comment

The NBR has released their Best of list this year and they picked “Mad Max: Fury Road” as their choice for Best Film of 2015. Could it also win “Best Picture” at the Oscars as well? Anyway, I disagree with everyone saying that this is the best film ever ’cause I went and saw it myself earlier this year. I didn’t think it was all that great. Not because of all the feminism stuff that are in the movie, I didn’t like it ’cause it wasn’t a good movie. I didn’t like Tom Hardy as Mad Max.

Even though the Academy was never that friendly toward violent movies, it’s probably gonna get the nomination for Best Picture as well so expect “Mad Max: Fury Road” to pick up the most nominations.

I’m very happy that the NBR gave Sylvester Stallone the nod for “Best Supporting Actor”, though. Stallone deserves to get recognized for his acting talent. Stallone is mostly known as an action star yes but give him the right film, he can show his real acting chops. I haven’t seen “Creed” but gonna go see it on Thursday when I do my Christmas shopping.

As far as “Mad Max: Fury Road” goes, maybe I should give the film another look and maybe it’ll grow on me the second time… who knows?

Dream Theater names their next album, “The Astonishing”, will be a double album too…

Leave a comment

The mighty, Dream Theater finally finished their next album and they just revealed the title. It will be called “The Astonishing”. It’ll be a double album too, it looks like. It also looks like it’s gonna be a concept album, kind of like the Who kind of thing where the whole album tell a story. The songs on the album looks like are gonna be stories and will have fictional characters.

While there are many tracks on the album, I’m sure most of them will be spoken word stuff telling the story and many of the songs will be just regular songs with James Labrie singing on them. It’s gonna be like a theatrical kind of album kind of like The Who “Tommy”, Pink Floyd “The Wall” and stuff like that.

I can’t wait for the next Dream Theater album as I’m sure it will be pretty epic. They’re one of my favorite bands right now as I’ve been listening to them for a pretty long time. Before the release of Apple Music streaming, I was trying to collect all of Dream Theater’s albums but since Apple Music is here… I got to listen to the rest of their discography. Dream Theater is pretty phenomenal and they’re kind of underrated. They aren’t a mainstream band when they should be.

Obama pushing out “World Aids Day” today is ’cause maybe he’s the one who’s got AIDs???

Leave a comment

I know “World Aid Days” has been a yearly thing since the 80’s and Obama didn’t invent “World Aids Day” but each time Dec. 1st comes, he’s all over “World Aids Day” to help bring awareness to Aids. Why do you think that is?

Do you think that Barack himself may have Aids? Whether you agree with it or not, Barack isn’t looking healthy these days and he’s looking worse. He’s gotten much skinnier and he’s been having a lot of speaking problems. His speech reading is getting worse too. Plus, each time you see him on TV or watch him do a speech… you can tell that he isn’t look too good.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/12/01/fact-sheet-world-aids-day-2015-time-act-now

Maybe Obama being sick has nothing to do with his long history of hard drugs. It definitely has something to do with his homosexual lifestyle. Whether he’s got sick ’cause of years of drug use or if he’s got AIDs, either way… you gotta admit that he isn’t looking good these days. Something is definitely wrong with the guy and the media refuses to point out whatever health problems he is having.

They don’t call him “Bone Thin Obama” for no reason. Happy Aids Day…

Carrie Fisher pressured to lose weight for “The Force Awakens” movie…

Leave a comment

Carrie Fisher just made a confession that the crew behind “The Force Awakens” movie pressured her to lose weight so she can reprise her role as Princess Leia (or General Leia, just read that she’ll be a General now).

I’m sure the only reason Carrie agreed to take their request and lose the pounds is ’cause she didn’t want to lose the role. If she refused to lose the weight, they probably would have fired her. Back when she was young, she used to be really beautiful and gorgeous but she changed over the years as she got older. They wanted her to lose the weight so Leia can look young and beautiful again.

I can’t blame the crew though ’cause nobody wants to see Leia being a fat cow, ya know? They just wanted to make her appearance in the film right.

Can’t wait for the movie, though. It comes out in a couple of weeks!

Rambo will make comeback but will return to the small screen first, “Rambo V” is put on hold…

Leave a comment

News on a new Rambo film has been pretty quiet lately and finally we got some news. Rambo will be making his comeback soon but first it will be to the small screen instead of the big screen. Yes, there is a Rambo TV series in development for FOX and Sylvester Stallone will indeed reprise his role as John J. Rambo for the TV show. The TV show will be a father and son duo.

Yes, “Rambo V” for the big screen is still happening but it is put on hold ’cause Sly has too many other projects in the works including “The Expendables” TV series which is still being planned as well.

‘Rambo: New Blood’ Father-Son TV Series In Works At Fox With Sylvester Stallone

So Rambo has a son now, hey? They’re probably gonna go for a plot idea that John Rambo finds out that he has a long lost son that he never knew he had and they meet for the first time. Sounds like an interesting idea.

Kind of funny though ’cause I just rewatched the first three Rambo films over the weekend and those films never get old. I’ll have to admit that the fourth Rambo film was kind of a let-down so hopefully Sly doesn’t direct “Rambo V” film ’cause I’ll admit that Sly isn’t the best director at all. He’s a talented actor, no doubt but I’m not afraid to say that he’s a bad director. He should stick with acting and not directing.

When Sly is ready to play Rambo again for the TV show, he’ll probably grow his long hair back for the role ’cause Rambo with short hair would be kind of silly.

Yep, I’m still a huge die-hard fan of Sly and always will be loyal to the guy. I’m looking forward to seeing “Creed” this week.

Video: EBJ “Don’t Use It Much” w/ Grateful Dead medley…

Leave a comment

Never seen EBJ before and always wanted to hear what they sound like live? EBJ shows are always a blast to go to and after you hear this, you’ll see why. They rock on that stage for sure and they know how to put on a show. Plus, they’re so much fun to dance to. I love going to their shows when I can too.

This track is a medley mix of one of their original songs and a Grateful Dead cover of “Turn on Your Lovelight”.

Enjoy.
