Looking forward to seeing “Skyfall” Friday afternoon…

I love James Bond movies. I’ve been watching 007 flicks for years, and of course, Sean Connery, will always be the best, Bond. Roger Moore was pretty good too. I loved Timothy Dalton for Bond, but he was Bond for only two films. The only Bond I didn’t like was, Pierce Brosnan, but I did like the movie, “Golden Eye”. “Golden Eye” was the only good Pierce Brosnan, 007 flick. Daniel Craig, makes a really good Bond, but they need to improve his films. “Casino Royale” was a great flick but “Quantum of Solace” sucked hard. Hopefully, “Skyfall” won’t disappoint. I’m looking forward to seeing “Skyfall”, this coming Friday. I’ll review the film for this site, of course. Hope it’s a good film. Probably will be.

Please wake up America, Obama should not be President…

Another reason why Obama won the re-election, is that people thought he was the lesser of the two evils. How is Romney the evil one? Google this stuff listed here and then tell me that Obama is a good guy. Do I need to give anymore evidence why Obama needs an impeachment? Lesser of the two evils? HA!!!! I re-shared this image in facebook and not many people replied. I’m sure Romney is no different, but at least he didn’t commit any crimes or murder anybody, that doesn’t make him evil, does it? I know I said I was done discussing politics for a while, but this was worth posting, so I had to. Seriously, look this stuff up. These are facts. Real stuff. Not made up rumors. I already knew some of this stuff listed here but the rest are new to me, so I had to look some of this stuff up myself.

To the American People… We Are Doomed… Doomed Forever…

To the American People,

How can you vote for a President who has lied to us plenty? How can you vote for a President who has lied about Benghazi and continues to ignore the 4 U.S. victims that were killed there? Obama continues to ignore them and show no sympathy. How can you vote for a President, who seems to be hiding and covering up his birthplace just to be President? How can you vote for a President who has done nothing to improve our economy and continues to get worse? How can you vote for our President who continues to say that he killed Bin Laden, yet, he doesn’t reward Seal Team 6, when they did the job? How can you vote for a President who won’t do anything about Nuclear Weapons with Iran, yet, he continuously attacking other countries such as Pakistan?

The key to Obama’s re-election is that he won over the women voters. Simply because of Mitt Romney’s views against women, from that second debate. If the reason that women voted Obama is because of “Women’s Rights” then you have voted the wrong person. I’m sure the people who voted Obama, hate Obama like most people, but most voted Obama because they felt it was better than getting women’s rights taken away. How is Mitt Romney trying to take away women’s rights? I don’t understand. They don’t understand. Mitt is against abortion and so am I. Sure women, have all their right to do what they please with their bodies and they shouldn’t be told what to do, but do they really want to do something dangerous and risky? Do they really want to risk something, that they’re going to have to live the rest of their lives for? A fetus is a human being. Killing an unborn child is the same thing as murder. Nothing really different about it, no matter what you think of it. Abortion is the only right that Mitt could have taken away, but…

Mitt can’t take away other rights. Mitt knows it. That was not his intention of what he was trying to do. Women’s rights can’t be taken away. So why are women getting their panties in a bunch about this? Sure. I disagree with a few other things about Mitt’s views on women, but he is not a woman hater, and he is not trying to take their rights away. He’s actually trying to do what’s best for women, for their safety, their well being, and their families. Plus, it was his way of helping the economy. There were even women out there who agreed with Mitt’s issues and thought he would be the right man for President.

Either way, it was a very close election. Mitt was doing very good. You can’t deny that, know matter what you think of Mitt. If Mitt haven’t said those things about the women, I’m sure he could have won the election, no matter what happened. I may not agree with some of Mitt’s issues, but the only reason I voted for him, was to help get rid of Obama. America, needs to wake up and realize that Obama is not the right man to be President. Too many people are saying that Obama is such a good guy and a great President, when they need a reality check, that he isn’t.

It was no surprise that Obama won, honestly. I kind of had a feeling it was coming anyway. I don’t see how people like Obama so much. It’s just unreal to me. There is no hate against black people. No racism here. Of course, it’s hard not liking a president when we get our first black president, ’cause everyone is going to start playing the race card. Just wait until we get our first female president, and those who don’t support her, will get called sexist or we’ll get accused of being hateful toward women. We’re not racist ’cause we don’t like someone who is black. We just don’t like him as a person. If we were racist, we would be avoiding all black people like the plague, which you don’t see any of that going on here. I like black people. I treat all people with respect no matter the race, they are in.

Although I hate discussing politics online ’cause it’s hard to have an honest opinion, when it’s different than everyone else, politics almost always get heated and negative. Now that the election is over, this will be the final politics discussion for a long while, ’cause I don’t want this to be a political site. Unless something is worth posting here that I need to get off my chest, I’ll do it. I want this to be an entertainment blog. Now back to that.

Good! Linda McMahon loses her Senate seat bid!

How much do you want to bet that she’ll get right back to WWE real soon? Lets see if this will have an affect on WWE. Will they get back the Attitude Era or not? We’ll have to wait and see.

Linda is trying to make her dream come true in politics but with her WWE past, it’s making it real tough for her. Just shows that politics is not for her and she belongs in wrestling.

About last Sunday’s “The Walking Dead” ****MAJOR SPOILERS****

I was going to talk about last Sunday’s “Walking Dead” shocker, but I didn’t want to talk about spoilers right away, so I waited a few days. I’ll talk about the topic with a Spoiler warning.

*******************************************SPOILERS BELOW********************************

I’m not surprised they killed off Lori. I’ve always hated that character ever since she first appeared on the show. I’m not the one to talk like this to women, but she was a real bitch and a cunt. She treated Rick and Carl both like crap ever since they reunited with Rick in Season 1. Lying to them about her affair with Shane and all kinds of stuff. Plus, Lori was a loudmouth drama queen. Almost complaining and whining about everything, if things don’t go her way. She even treated Shane like garbage too. Not only this character was annoying, her speaking voice was horrible and she’s not that good looking, anyway. Good riddance. They should have killed her off a long time ago.

Although, I disagree with them killing off, T-Dog. They should have kept his story going. I wanted T-Dog to live and cross path with Merle again. T-Dog left the key to Merle’s cuffs on the roof of that building, and I wanted Merle to be able to confront T-Dog about it. Would have been a cool storyline, but that’s not gonna happen now.

Anyway, I’m liking Season 3 so far. I’m glad they’re using Merle more. Glad Merle is getting more screen time. Michael Rooker is a talented actor, I’ve always admired him. I can’t wait for Merle and Daryl to go face to face for the first time. Plus, the Governor is a great character. I like what they’re doing with Andrea and Michonne too.

This Season is getting pretty interesting.

About Star Wars 7,8,9 classical scoring, will John Williams return???

John Williams, the longtime Star Wars composer, did the music for all 6 Star Wars movies. The question, will he return for the next trilogy? I can see John returning for Star Wars 7, most definitely, but if he can stay alive when 8 and 9 comes around, that maybe kind of tough ’cause he might be dead by then. The guy is about 80 years old now. I’m not saying he’s gonna die, but what if he doesn’t make it when 8 and 9 comes around, ya know? That’s what I’m saying.

Even if they plan on not using John Williams and replacing a new composer, they still need to use the original opening “Star Wars” theme for the opening crawl in the beginning. That can’t be replaced.

Some people can and can’t see John Williams coming back. It’s a mixed feeling on him too. He has always been important for the Star Wars legacy. So yeah, I can see a definite %100 chance of John Williams returning. I can’t see him turning it down. Hopefully, he’ll live long enough to compose the next trilogy. It’s amazing that he’s still composing movies at this age, though. I’m pretty sure Disney will offer him a huge deal that he can’t refuse.

When iconic bands move forward from their original sound…

Soundgarden, is streaming their new album, “King Animal”, in it’s entirety on Itunes today, and I gave it a listen. I’ll give my thoughts on the album later on in this post, but first, there’s a topic I need to get off my chest. Whenever an iconic metal or rock band puts out a new album, everyone expects them to go back to their original sound that made them for who they were. For example, everyone wants Metallica to go back to speed metal. Everyone wants Pearl Jam to make another amazing album like, “Ten” again. Everyone wants the Smashing Pumpkins to sound like, “Siamese Dream” again. Everyone wants U2 to go back to their “Joshua Tree/Unforgettable Fire” days. When those bands release new albums, everyone’s disappointed ’cause they don’t have their old school style anymore.

The thing that people don’t understand about bands, is that none of them like to look back at their songwriting. It’s about moving forward and creating new art. Playing from the heart and playing with feeling. I’m sure these guys want to go back to their old sound, but with songwriting, they can’t help it, ya know? They just play whatever comes out of them. Play whatever is in their heads.

Back to Soundgarden, I don’t think they’ll make a “Badmotorfinger” sounding album ever again. While that is an incredible album, the band quickly changed sounds and styles after that. Bands want to sound different every album they do. That’s the way songwriting works. Bands and songwriters can’t take ideas from other people. It’s not about making the music of how other people want it to be. It’s about making the music that pleases the band.

“King Animal” is getting mixed reviews. After a long awaited Soundgarden return, everyone was getting excited. Expecting the new Soundgarden record to sound old school, and of course, it wasn’t going to be. I think the new Soundgarden album, “King Animal” is pretty damn good. Definitely unique and different. There are some pretty odd time signatures and different song structures. Soundgarden are maturing as songwriters. The vocal harmonies and Chris’s singing is just mind blowing. There are plenty of great guitar riffs on it. It’s not the best Soundgarden record, but it is definitely better than, “Down On the Upside”.

People really need to get over a band’s past, already. Just appreciate ’em, and stop being negative pricks over music, all the time. People don’t understand that bands love to experiment with different sounds. That’s what Neil Young have always done. Neil keeps changing all the time, and you don’t see people complaining to Neil about going back to his old school sound. Neil got away with it.

Musicians just write what they want. End of story.

Report: Nicolas Cage confirmed for “Expendables 3”, they finally got him!!!

Sly has been trying to get actor Nicolas Cage, for the first two “Expendables” movies, but Nic Cage kept turning them down. Well, Nic is finally available, and is a go for “Expendables 3”. They don’t say what character Cage will be playing, whether a hero or a villain, but in my opinion, Cage should play the villain. He would make a great badguy for these movies.

Sly says, he wants Mickey Rourke back for the third one. They are also interested in Harrison Ford, and Wesley Snipes.

Deadline, reports.

Hopefully, they’ll get Kurt Russell soon.

Report: Harrison Ford wants in for “Star Wars 7” as Han Solo???

We haven’t heard from the original cast on whether or not they want back in on the new Star Wars movie, but it looks like Harrison Ford was quick to respond first. Sources close to Harrison, was said that he might be interested in reprising his famous role, as Han Solo. Will we see an aging, Han Solo, back in his trademark white shirt and black vest? Sounds like Harrison wants more than just a cameo, he wants back in on the leading role for the next three films.

Read the full story, here.

Harrison maybe 70, but the dude is still doing action movies. He did a lot of his own action stunts in, “Cowboys & Aliens”. I can see Harrison, coming back. It’ll be great to see him and Chewbacca, back. The Millennium Falcon too!

It’s no surprise to me that Harrison would be the first cast member to respond. Han Solo should come back. The whole gang should reunite for a new trilogy. It would be amazing if the original cast came back. If they did, I would definitely see it in theater for sure.

Prays that Linda McMahon loses her election for US Senate…

Another thing I’ll be looking out for, other than the President Election tomorrow, is looking to see if Linda McMahon on whether or not she will win or lose the spot for US Senate, from the state of, Connecticut. I’m sure wrestling fans are hoping she’ll lose. That way WWE can bring back TV-14. They’ll bring back good wrestling and turn John Cena, heel. Linda McMahon was a former WWE CEO but she left the company to focus on politics. If you think WWE will never bring back the Attitude Era even if Linda loses, I would say you’re wrong on that. Each week, WWE have been getting pretty low ratings for both, RAW and SD. They’ll bring back the Attitude Era, for sure. They’ll do anything for ratings. I would think if WWE brought back the Attitude, it would start to get real big again, and all the old fans who gave up watching, will start watching again.

The Attitude Era is what made me addicted to WWE. The hardcore violence, sexy DIVAS, the bloody matches, etc. I miss all of that. Hopefully, they’ll consider bringing that stuff back if Linda loses. Linda was CEO in WWE before she left for politics, and after she left, that’s when WWE changed everything, so she can have a clean election without anyone attacking her. It’s just typical Vince, doing whatever it takes to help her win. Lets pray she doesn’t win tomorrow. It’ll be nice to see WWE go back the way they were before, so they can get all of their old fans back. All the adult fans, that is.
