Chewbacca revealed in latest “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” charity video…

Leave a comment

JJ has been doing a lot of charity work for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and he just released a new video, thanking fans for taking part in Unicef. Here is the cast and crew saying “thank you”.

Chewbacca is revealed with Peter Mayhew in costume and all. Even if Episode 7 is taken place 35 years after Jedi, Chewie still looks the same, he hasn’t aged a bit. Chewie still looks good, though.

Still though, JJ won’t show Harrison, Mark and Carrie… I don’t see any of them in this video, do you??? Why is JJ being secretive on the original trio? He probably doesn’t wanna give away too much this soon.

Celebrity news

I don’t agree with Kate Upton being the “Sexiest Woman Alive”… thumbs down…

8 Comments

Man, fuck People magazine. Kate Upton is just a plastic barbie doll with breast implants. She’s just a blonde like all the others. I’m not a big fan of those kind of women. Blondes don’t really do it to me ’cause they all look the same.

Give me a hot brunette or a redhead and I’ll be happy.

Pretty sad story of 5 year old Kenneth White being abducted from his home and then murdered…

Leave a comment

Yesterday, facebook was all over this missing boy, re-sharing the missing boy report hoping the Capital District area would find him safe and alive. He was abducted by two men wearing ski masks and all. They just entered the home and took the child. Next thing you know, the child was found dead near his home.

Full story here:

http://news10.com/2014/12/18/sheriff-5-year-old-abducted-from-home/

This story is probably gonna make the national news. It’s already trending on facebook.

Really sad and heartbreaking, though.

Things like this is why you need a gun permit and have guns in your home. Guard dogs would be useful too, maybe have a pitbull. Security systems in your home, also helpful. The home probably had none of that which is how this happened. This could happen to your child.

I can’t understand why people would kidnap young children and murder them. Hope law enforcement will catch the fuckers that did this. The kidnappers probably knew the child’s family, possibly ex-boyfriend/husband of the child’s mother??? I don’t really wanna speculate anything.

RIP Kenneth. So sad.

Wanna watch a more important film on Christmas Day? Forget “The Interview”… go see “American Sniper”…

1 Comment

Who cares about some dumb comedy that picks on Kim Jong-un. Wanna watch a more serious political movie, you should see this one instead of “The Interview”. How come everyone is not talking about “American Sniper” instead? “American Sniper” looks fucking badass. I’m definitely seeing it.

“American Sniper” is the final film I’m going to see in 2014. After I see that film, then I will get to work on the “Top 15 Best Films of 2014”. I won’t be able to see “American Sniper” on Christmas Day, of course but I will definitely see it sometime after. I’m definitely seeing that movie sometime next weekend.

“American Sniper” is a more important and serious film. Everybody should know Chris Kyle’s story. Thank you Clint Eastwood for finally giving Chris Kyle the recognition he deserves!!!

Why Obama and the White House shouldn’t be talking about the Sony hacking…

Leave a comment

Yes, we all should be able to go to the movies; however, Obama shouldn’t be talking about all the Sony hackings that’s been going on. The Obama administration appears to be very protective of Americans over the Sony hackings all of a sudden. It’s just messed up and it makes them look like hypocrites. They shouldn’t be talking about the Sony hackings when they have had their share of doing some hackings themselves. Like hacking Sharyl Attkisson, James Rosen and other journalists. Also spying on Americans through the NSA and wiretapping Associated Press reporters. They seem to be against this hacking when they have done some hacking, themselves, ya know???

North Korea is still being blamed for this but I’m not gonna believe that North Korea was responsible until I see the actual proof and hard evidence but so far the US government have showed us none.

The NSA claims to be spying on Americans due to counter-terrorism but they aren’t doing a good job if Guardians of Peace are threatening us. So yeah, like one reader said on here, “Where’s the NSA”???

This is part of why I believe it’s possible that this administration are the “Guardians of Peace”.

I find it funny how everyone are saying that Sony shouldn’t bow down to terrorists. My question is, where was the respect for Sony when they ignored Kim Jong-un’s request not to release the film from the very beginning? I didn’t see any.

And I’m still gonna believe that Sony and the other movie theaters pulling the movie is the right thing to do for our safety and well-being. I can’t blame them at all.

My Top 5 Favorite Rolling Stones songs…

Leave a comment

I like the Rolling Stones but I’m not that big of a fan. I was never the one to collect all of their records. I just own one of their greatest hits albums and that’s all I need. I do like some of their songs, though. I respect the hell out of Keith Richards… I’m just not a big fan of Jagger’s singing.

So in honor of Keith’s birthday today, I just wanted to name my favorite songs by the Rolling Stones in the videos below.

Enjoy!

“The Last Time”

“You Can’t Always Get What You Want”

“Sympathy For The Devil”

The Cammy’s cancelled which doesn’t surprise me at all, good riddance, though!!!

“FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Due to a lack of support from our music community, it is with a heavy heart that we announce this years 2014 Capital Area Music Awards, scheduled for January 25, 2015, has been cancelled. We truly appreciate the support of so many people in the development stage. It is our sincere hope that someday we may join together for a night of musical community and unite as one! If you have purchased advanced tickets, refunds are available where tickets were purchased. Thanks you.” – Greg Gamache

If you wanna know why these guys behind “The Cammy’s” have been silent, here ya go. It doesn’t surprise me that the show will get cancelled due to “lack of support”. Why for the “lack of support”? It’s because no one cares about award shows. That’s not what we play music for to begin with. Everybody knows that last year’s award show was such a disaster and we didn’t want to go through it again this year. Plus, most importantly everybody knows that Dan of Tier One Talent is an egotistical piece of shit who wasn’t to be trusted at all. Everybody knows that you guys behind this garbage setup an award show so you can win yourselves awards ’cause you were that desperate for attention.

I’m sure these idiots didn’t get too many bands/musicians sending in their submissions hoping for a nomination… that could be part of the reason for the cancellation and also, lack of ticket sales is another reason. As you can see in Greg’s post about the cancellation, people are replying blaming the area which is inappropriate and unprofessional. You have no one else to blame but yourselves.

Hopefully, this award show goes away and stays away forever. GOOD RIDDANCE!!!! Celebrate! Shows over for them!!!!

Thank you for ignoring this show, Capital District! That’s why you guys, rock!!! \m/

On top of that, to hell with Sony… why do people want ’em to release that movie now???

2 Comments

The hackers exposed Amy Pascal as a racist. They exposed them attacking celebrities and they exposed them thinking about suing Bill Murray and all kinds of crazy shit. They’ve been exposed as a shady company of what goes on behind the scenes. Yet, people still want them to release that movie? Who cares about Sony, yo. They kind of deserved what they’re getting anyways so fuck, Sony… let ’em suffer for all I care, ya know? Why are people calling them pussies when they have been pussies all along???

I’m not saying that the hackers are heroes for what they’ve done, I’m staying neutral on both of them. Who cares about Sony and who cares about that movie, “The Interview”, it doesn’t look that good anyways. Sony shouldn’t get the blame for this when the whole movie was Seth Rogen’s idea, he’s the one who created that story and he was one of the two directors.

Movie theaters across the US are pulling the movie ’cause they’re putting the people first… they’re putting us movie goers first. They care about movie fans and they just don’t want anything dangerous to happen to us. Sure, it may be possible that a terrorist attack on movie theaters won’t happen but ya never know, it could. It’s just a smart thing to do, ya know? Just my opinion. You can’t always be the, “Oh, I don’t think it’s gonna happen” type. You just never know if you go into the theater and the building explodes or planes fly into the buildings. Absolutely that stuff can happen, quit being so fuckin’ naive. Better to be safe than sorry. Movies delaying the film is all part of business too.

I’m just being realistic here ’cause that’s what I’m all about on my site.

Check out these 4 famous guitarists discussing guitar playing in this cool video!!!

Leave a comment

This video is pretty sweet. 4 famous guitarists discuss guitar playing for the upcoming G4 experience… more here: http://www.g4experience.com/.

This is a roundtable discussion with Joe Satriani, Tosin Abasi, Guthrie Govan and Andy Aledort. There are some pretty deep discussions on guitar playing here. You can tell by the looks of their faces as you watch this video that they are very passionate about guitar playing and they take it very seriously.

Are famous guitar players intimidating people? As you can see in this video, they aren’t at all! They’re just normal guys who just love playing guitar!!!

A true guitar lover is somebody who takes it passionately and would have no problem talking about music and guitar playing all the time. All 4 of these guys are great guitarists.

I don’t have any albums by the Aristocrats but I heard some of their stuff in youtube and Guthrie Govan is amazing. I wanna start getting some music by the Aristocrats hopefully soon.

Are movie theaters around the US doing the right thing cancelling “The Interview” due to Guardians of Peace threats???

9 Comments

Many theaters across the US are cancelling the Christmas Day opening of the controversial comedy film, “The Interview”… even the local movie theaters of Bowtie Cinemas in the Capital District are cancelling it too. Are movie theaters doing the right thing or are they cowards for letting the so-called, “terrorists” win?

I would have to say that movie theaters are doing the right thing. A threat like that should be taken very seriously. The Guardians Of Peace may or may not be “real” terrorists but ya never know. It’s a good idea to cancel the film’s opening release date just in case ’cause you never know that if you go to the theaters there could be bombs all over the theaters in America.

While it doesn’t look like a good movie anyways, it’s the best thing to do to take these threats very seriously. It’s a good idea ’cause I would do the same thing if I owned a movie theater.

You just never know if bombs were planted all over the theaters or someone could walk in with a suicide vest or a plane flies over and drops missiles on a theater. Any of that can happen.

I wouldn’t want to go to a movie theater that day when all of this is going on.

I will still see “The Interview” though, just not in theater. I’ll wait for rental on that one.
