Say What? Next installment of “24” without Kiefer???

3 Comments

Interesting! Looks like Kiefer finally wants to be done with “24” and move on. I can’t blame the guy ’cause he has played the character, Jack Bauer, for over a decade and he must be finally sick of it! Well, FOX announced that they are in talks of doing more 24 but without Kiefer. However, though, they made it clear they are not “moving on without him” so he might be up for more appearances but they just want to try to do something without him. Kiefer himself is all cool with them doing something new without him.

The next installment is probably gonna be taken place in Russia but I don’t wanna reveal any big spoilers of “Live Another Day”.

Who’s gonna take over the leading role when Kiefer leaves? Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe) can’t fight terrorists all by herself so they’re gonna have to find a new male lead. The new male lead is gonna be tough to top Kiefer. The new male lead will need to be a badass and it will be tough to find.

Could a “24” without Kiefer be successful? I don’t know. We’ll have to wait and see.

“24” is my favorite franchise, though. I’m willing to give a Kiefer-less “24” a try!

“American Sniper” box office hit… could it win “Best Picture” at the Oscars???

Leave a comment

Well, it doesn’t really surprise me at all that “American Sniper” would become a box office hit. Why? Probably because Chris Kyle is a pretty popular war hero. They don’t call him a “legend” for nothing. Plus I’m sure Eastwood directing it and Brad Cooper starring in the film helped the box office draw as well.

This movie and the Chris Kyle story itself is definitely more “conservative” than liberal. Why? It’s because “right wingers” are more interested in Chris Kyle than liberals. When was the last time you saw liberals paying their respects to a war hero? When you see a liberal talking about Chris Kyle, chances are they’re gonna be talking about all kinds of negative and disrespectful things about him and stuff. I’ve had idiots on here saying Chris Kyle is not deserving of all this recognition and had a dumb liberal writing me hate mail saying that Chris Kyle is a war monger and murderer.

Liberals don’t really have an interest in war heroes.

Plus, what makes this movie more conservative is that Chris Kyle was totally against gun control. He was a pretty big 2nd amendment supporter and stood up for it. That could be another reason why “right-wingers” respect him.

My question is will “American Sniper” movie win “Best Picture”? I’m hoping and praying. I have a feeling it won’t ’cause “Best Picture” is probably gonna end up going to “Selma”. “American Sniper” would be the right choice to win “Best Picture”. Chris Kyle has never been honored ever since his death and this movie winning “Best Picture” would be the perfect way to honor a war hero. If Obama continues to refuse to honor Chris Kyle, then we’ll honor Chris ourselves in someway and he would have been proud if “American Sniper” won “Best Picture”.

We’ll have to wait and see what happens. Chris K. deserves to be honored and more recognition. His story deserves to get told.

Honestly, I still think Obama had Chris K. murdered. That’s probably why Obama refuses to acknowledge his heroism since his death.

Watch the video below of the real Chris Kyle himself talking about a variety of topics. You can see how “conservative” he is.

Signs to watch out for that Obama supports Islam…

1 Comment

People don’t call Obama a Muslim sympathizer and supporter for no reason. They know all the signs and the clues that he showed over the years. All the evidence of Obama’s support for Islam is all out there and pretty well-documented. Obama might even be a Muslim himself even though there is no proof of that yet but either way, Obama is definitely a Muslim sympathizer and supporter… no doubt about that. How can you tell?

Here are several signs:

  • When it comes to terrorist attacks, Obama refuses to say “Islam” and “Terrorism” in the same sentence. He does call certain attacks “terrorism”; however, he just leaves Islam out of it. Like all the stuff going on with Charlie Hebdo for example. 
  • Obama has said quotes like “I will stand with Muslims…” from his book “Audacity of Hope” and have said things like “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet”. You get the deal. 
  • Obama often quotes stuff from the Qu’ran at his speeches and he even gets caught speaking Arabic language here and there. 
  • His family is Muslim especially his father.
  • Obama attended a Muslim school in Indonesia when he was a kid.
  • Muslim Brotherhood infiltrates the White House.
  • Obama aides Muslim terrorists weapons and money. 
  • Obama releases Muslim prisoners from Gitmo and is obsessed with trade-ins. 

You get the idea. I can go on all day with the list. It can’t be that hard to tell that Obama is a supporter and sympathizer of Islam. Everybody knows it.

Those who just wanna keep denying it are just afraid of the truth. They just can’t take who Obama really is. Obama doesn’t really say that he is a Muslim sympathizer and supporter, he doesn’t come out and say things like, “I support Islam”… it’s just that you can tell that he does ’cause of all the signs that he showed. They can’t be that hard to spot, ya know? This is why there are allegations that he might be Muslim himself and I think he is.

This is why Obama HIMSELF couldn’t march for the Charlie Hebdo France rally ’cause if he did he would be marching against Islam. That’s why he didn’t have himself or anybody in his administration march in France ’cause he would insult Islam even more if he did. That march in France was to help fight against Islam.

I’m really getting tired of all this talk of Islam to be honest with you. Everybody is talking about this evil religion now ’cause why? Obama vowed to help promote Islam and he’s doing a successful job with it.

The mainstream media is also refusing to call Muslims terrorists which is pretty insane really.

Why couldn’t Obama himself be in France instead of John Kerry and James Taylor? What an embarrassment!!!

1 Comment

Is this the best the US can do to apologize to Americans and France for missing the rally??? What’s wrong with Obama himself apologizing and sending his condolences to the families & friends of the 12 victims in France? I’m talking about Obama HIMSELF! Not John Kerry. Not James Taylor. Not someone else from the government.

Ah well… I guess it’s better not to have Obama there ’cause all he’s gonna do is spew out a bunch of bullshit and continue refusing to call the Paris attacks “radical Islam” anyways.

Yeah, I’m sure dumbass and ignorant losers will continue to defend on why Obama couldn’t be there but yes, Obama can absolutely be there. He’s president of the United States, all he have to do is jump on board Air Force One, spend our tax money and fly over there.

A real US president WOULD HAVE been there. Bush and Reagan would have flown over there asap to show their respects.

A no-show from Obama HIMSELF proves even more that he just doesn’t give a shit. Wake-up America. Obama is anti-America and Muslim sympathizer… that’s why he didn’t go.

Film Review: “American Sniper”…

Leave a comment

Starring: Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller
Directed by Clint Eastwood:

Today, I have just seen Eastwood’s latest directed movie, “American Sniper” and here is my review…

Plot/Synopsis: Chris Kyle was nothing more than a Texan man who wanted to become a cowboy, but in his thirties he found out that maybe his life needed something different, something where he could express his real talent, something that could help America in its fight against terrorism. So he joined the SEALs in order to become a sniper. After marrying, Kyle and the other members of the team are called for their first tour of Iraq. Kyle’s struggle isn’t with his missions, but about his relationship with the reality of the war and, once returned at home, how he manages to handle it with his urban life, his wife and kids.

I can’t understand why Eastwood got the snub for Best Director at the Oscars for this movie. I thought it was very well directed. Eastwood is a good director like always. Yet, another winner for Eastwood!

If you have liberal political views, you probably wouldn’t like it. If you are conservative like me, you would probably love it. Yeah, there are gonna be all kinds of weird conspiracy theories surrounding Chris Kyle… some ignorant and dumb liberals would make claims that Kyle is a war monger and murderer so of course, liberals are gonna make claims that this movie isn’t accurate. Screw that.

The movie is about showing America what kind of man Chris Kyle was and what he did for America. The film is more of a dedication to a war hero. A tribute kind of thing. It wanted to show that Chris was a family man and a patriot. He was a warrior who truly loved his country and he would do whatever it takes to protect our homeland.

I thought Brad did an amazing job once again and I think this is his best role. It should be no surprise that Brad would kill it again but he was different in this movie. I thought he was the right fit for playing Kyle. Sienna Miller was amazing too.

The movie did had some pretty intense battles and can get quite graphic. This movie wasn’t made for your popcorn entertainment. It wanted to show you what it would be like fighting in war today. The film wanted to make a point. While the film maybe a bit “conservative”… the Chris Kyle story shouldn’t be “right vs. left”. I think every American should see the movie or read the book or both.

It’s a real shame that the Chris Kyle story gets ignored a lot by Americans and it’s about time a movie got made about him to help give him more recognition. It’s also a shame that Obama still didn’t acknowledge his heroism and didn’t even give him a Medal of Honor.

I thought “American Sniper” was amazing. A beautiful movie all the way through. It’s definitely one of the best war films in the last decade. Clint still got it!

Score for “American Sniper” = 5 out of 5 as in “excellent”.

Song Of The Day: “She Talks To Angels” by the Black Crowes…

Leave a comment

So as everyone knows, Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes announced the break up of the iconic rock band after a 24 year long career. I didn’t even know they were still together until now.

I am a fan of the Crowes; however, I only own one album by them in my music collection. The only album I own of theirs is “Shake Your Money Maker”, their first one. It’s a great album.

These guys are definitely future rock n’ roll Hall of Famers and I’m sure there will probably be future reunions. The Crowes breakup is too bad. They only have about 9 albums in their discography. I wish the dudes best of luck.

This is is pretty big news for Deadheads and Phish phans. The 4 surviving members of The Grateful Dead will play 3 nights at Soldier Field in Chicago and Trey Anastasio is set to front the band replacing the late, Jerry Garcia. The Dead picked Soldier Field to be their final show ’cause that was the venue where it had Jerry’s last performance before he passed on.

Trying to find the DAW that is right for me is tough!!!

Leave a comment

In home recording, trying to find the right DAW is pretty tough. Why? In this day and age, there are too many DAWS out there that it’s hard to choose from. In the past I used to work with Pro Tools, Cakewalk and Music Creator 5 but those programs are old, outdated and they don’t support Windows 7 64 bit.

I am planning on buying the Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 audio interface so whatever DAW comes with that, I’ll start off with that DAW for now until I find something even better.

As for DAW’s, I’ve been looking at FL Studio and Propellerhead Reason. I think I’m gonna avoid ProTools and Cakewalk and go for something different.

So after I buy all that new recording gear which is gonna be the Focusrite Scarlett 2i4, a pair of studio monitors and a set of studio headphones, I’m gonna have to make a decision on a DAW to save up for. I think I’m gonna end up going for FL Studio ’cause it looks pretty cool. Looks right for creating full band music with which is what I’m looking for.

The goal is I wanna find something to make full band stuff with using MIDI. Make my own backing tracks. I wanna make a full band demo or an album. I’m tired of acoustic solo and wanna go full band. I’m not giving up acoustic music, I just wanna do something different, ya know???

I just wanna make rock ‘n roll songs. Something I’ve always wanted to do. I’ll continue to write slow ballads but I wanna rock out too. I believe I can make some good rock music and that’s what I’m after.

Hopefully, I can find a DAW that I’ll be happy with. I wanna good DAW. Something professional. I’ll find something, though.
