Report: “Justice League” movie finally greenlighted for Summer of 2015 release…

Leave a comment

Due to the big victory of Warner Bros. copyright case to Superman, Warner Bros. is not wasting any time on the, “Justice League” film, as they have just set a release date for, Summer of 2015. They hope to start shooting next year, so expect casting to start soon. Also, who should direct it and write it. Joss Whedon would be out since he’ll be busy filming, “Avengers 2”. There will be no Christopher Nolan or Zack Snyder. I’m not sure who to direct it, but as for who to cast as Superman, why not get Brandon Routh back? Good idea, isn’t it? This is a good chance for Brandon to reprise his role, if Henry Cavill is not down.

Anyway, this is going to be a very hard movie to make. Could it top, “The Avengers”? I don’t know. The story and directing needs to be spot on. “Justice League” needs to be more than just another typical popcorn action film. It needs to be a MOVIE!!! With great acting and a great story. Sure, I can definitely see, “Justice League” being an action packed ride, but the story needs to work.

More on it, here.

Well, I’m glad Superman got it’s rights back ’cause this could change everything with the Superman character in the comics, video games, cartoons and other forms of entertainment. I can see Superman finally getting his own action/adventure video game in the works soon. It’ll be cool to get a Superman video game that is similar to, “Batman Arkham Asylum/Arkham City”. Sure, Superman has appeared in other games such as “Mortal Kombat vs. DC Comics”, “DC Universe Online”, and “Injustice”, but everyone wants Superman to get his own game. I can see why the video gaming industry hasn’t made Superman his own game yet. They are waiting for the character to come out with a hit movie, and when “Man of Steel” comes out in theaters next year, that will be the time to release his own video game.

EDIT TO ADD: I think I just thought of a director for the “Justice League” film. How about none other than Bryan Singer?

Just seen Joe Nacco’s new video “Stereo”, it’ll be coming soon…

Leave a comment

The Joe Nacco Band first did a video about zombies, and now they’re doing something about aliens. I’ve seen the new video the Joe Nacco Band did with a new song called, “Stereo”. The new video is a short film with sci fi mixed in with a little comedy. It’s a pretty cool video and funny stuff. I’ve known Joe Nacco around the music scene for a while now, and he’s a cool dude, and a good songwriter. The video to “Stereo”, will be online soon. I’ll post it when it’s up.

Support the Joe Nacco Band by liking their facebook page and check them out at their gigs too.

If Hogan staged the whole sex tape thing himself, that wouldn’t surprise me…

Leave a comment

Ya know, it wouldn’t surprise me at all, if Hogan was the one who set up the idea to bang Bubba’s wife, and Hogan himself actually set the video camera up in that room. Why would Hulk do something like this if it’s true? Think about it, this is a big money making opportunity for Hulk. His previous wife, Linda, left him, and Hulk is probably going broke, so he sues Bubba for $100 million, hoping to get rich quick. I like how Howard Stern is trying to play peacemaker and end this whole drama. You can’t trust Hulk and looks like Howard can’t trust him either since it looks like he’s on Bubba’s side. I’m sure this won’t even land in court ’cause it would be hard to find out who the put the video camera in there. My money, is that Hulk is behind this whole thing himself, for sure.

Mitt was not the bully at debate #2, Obama & Crowley were…

2 Comments

I just love how facebook and the internet, is calling Mitt Romney a bully, and an asshole at last Tuesday’s debate. How? People just make up opinions, not giving actual facts without any proof to back it up. They’re just a bunch of Obama supporters, who will defend Obama, no matter what. There was nothing wrong with Mitt at that debate, he really did do a great job and got more respect from me, so Mitt will get my vote. It was Obama who interrupted Mitt so much. Obama was the one who was rude. Of course, Candy did nothing but kiss Obama’s ass the whole evening, while she acted like Mitt was nothing. Mitt was pretty friendly and nice from what I look at it. Obama was the one being the asshole. Today, I plan on reading the transcript of Debate #2, and I’ll prove my point later today.

I mean think about it. How is Obama any different than Romney? Obama avoided answering a lot of questions, especially, “Fast and Furious” which he ignored, and Mitt caught him lying about a lot of things like all that stuff with Benghazi, being an “act of terror”.

People acted like Obama is the good guy ’cause he’s President, they should both be treated equally at the debate, but Candy was a real bitch who needed to get slapped.

BREAKING NEWS: Warner Bros./DC wins long copyright battle over Superman!!!!! YES!!!!

Leave a comment

Nobody can stop the, Man of Steel! I’ve been saying for a long time now that Warner Bros./DC was going to win this battle, all the way, and they did! That Marc Toberoff is a sleazy lawyer and even the judge knows that he’s a big piece of shit! Now Warner Bros. can feel free to use any Superman material, all they want to for the upcoming films! Even though “Man of Steel” is already finished and scheduled to hit theaters next year, the film makers could push back the release date and add more to the film if they wanted.

This battle isn’t over yet completely though, this is just a huge step in the right direction. This legal battle is just about over, though. Getting there. A huge congrats, go out to Warner Bros., and the DC team! I’m sure they are celebrating pretty hard with a party and all at their offices! We can celebrate too, by listening to the Superman theme again in the video below! WOO HOO!!!!! 🙂

I’m sure this news put a smile on Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan’s face.

The Brock’s Horror Film Pick #17: Paranormal Activity 1, 2, 3

Leave a comment

In honor of “Paranormal Activity 4” coming out this Friday, which I plan on seeing definitely, I thought I would do the first three films here. I love all the Paranormal Activity series. Love what they’re doing with the Katie Featherston story. I’m just addicted to it, and looking forward to how they’re going to end this story. Still though, I don’t think “P.A. 4” will be the final movie. They’re going to keep going with the series as long as each movie makes a lot of money. A lot of people have mix feelings on this franchise. You either love ’em or hate ’em, but these series are true horror at it’s finest. I don’t have these movies on BluRay yet, but planning on getting these films in my collection soon. I’m going to wait until, “P.A. 4” arrives on Blu, and then they’ll put together a boxed set. I think it’s great storytelling with these movies. I’m definitely looking forward to “4” and interested in how the story will continue. This is a great franchise. I like the low budget found footage movies.

Report: Possible Led Zeppelin/Foo Fighters collaboration on the way???

1 Comment

There may never be a Led Zeppelin reunion, but that’s not stopping Jimmy Page for doing other things in his own career. Speaking to BBC6 radio, Jimmy Page announced that he is planning on doing a new album and full tour of his own, sometime next year in 2013. Like the article says, Jimmy hasn’t been in the studio in a long time for new original music.

Since the Foo Fighters, announced hiatus, could Jimmy Page be working on a possible album with, Dave Grohl? Jimmy and Dave have been friends for years. They already played together once at the Foo Fighters concert at Wembley Stadium in 2008, so anything is possible. I can see Jimmy and Dave working together.

Brock really doesn’t have much interest in local music anymore, what’s the point?

4 Comments

Often, I would get criticized for not being part of the scene. Why I haven’t been gigging and why I haven’t been supporting other band shows much, other than EBJ? Well, there are a few reasons why I lost interest in local music and don’t really care anymore.

  1. There are no venues anymore – There maybe a few venues around still, but you’re just going to be stuck playing the same venues all the time. No wonder a lot of bands are starting to tour the United States more, ’cause there ain’t shit for venues around Albany. On top of that, the booking is so strict now a days. I’ll get into detail about that in another topic.
  2. The majority of talent around here is not good – I know good talent around, when I see it. Good talent come and go. There maybe a few good bands around still like EBJ, Wild Adriatic, the Erotics, and maybe a few other bands/artists, but other than that, I haven’t been liking today’s talent of local music. Sorry to say, just being real.
  3. The drama & negativity is a bit of a turn off for me – Kind of one of the big reasons, that I slowed down on the scene. Too many unprofessional people around here even though they think they are.

So what’s the point of going back ya know? I still make music and play guitar, ’cause that’s what I do. I will still gig, when the time is right and when the opportunity comes up, but I’m going to be more careful with myself next time around.

President debate last night… Obama vs. Romney #2…

5 Comments

I wasn’t gonna watch the debate last night but I’m glad I did. It was very entertaining. Better than the last one. These guys really hate each other and they really showed it. There was a lot of yelling and hollering back and forth. There was even a point, where they were about to get ready to layeth the smackdown on their candyasses, a fistfight on LIVE TV! Like everyone else, I was hoping that one of them were going to lose it and punch the other guy in the face!

Even though I don’t like Romney, I’ll admit, he did a great job last night. So he just got a tiny bit of respect from me, so I’ll probably end up voting for him. Romney did a great job exposing Barack Obama of how much a failure of a president he is. Some people are calling Romney rude for going over time when speaking and interrupting, Obama, a lot. Those who say that must be new to politics, ’cause that’s the whole point of a debate. They’re supposed to be heated & aggressive, with personal attacks all over the place. Their job is to attract voters to see which one will do the job being in the oval office. Romney wasn’t afraid to speak what’s on his mind. Romney did the most talking that he wouldn’t give the President enough time to talk, throughout the whole thing. So Romney, did the right thing, going overtime when it was running out. If you really want the job as President, you must be in the spotlight the whole time.

All the President did, was defend himself from Romney’s attacks. Both of them were looking pissed off though, and I love it.

The Brock’s Horror Film Pick #16: Rosemary’s Baby

Leave a comment

I haven’t seen much of Roman Polanski’s work, other than films like, “Chinatown”, “The Pianist”, “The Ninth Gate”, but I think “Rosemary’s Baby” was his best flick. Mia Farrow’s role in this movie was pretty amazing stuff. It’s also a pretty creepy as hell film. It’s about a couple who move into an apartment, only to be surrounded by peculiar neighbors. The wife becomes pregnant, and paranoia over the safety of her unborn child begins controlling her life. I haven’t seen this film in a long time but would like to watch it again.
