The Brock’s Horror Film Pick #11: Halloween 1 – 2 (Rob Zombie directed)

The two Rob Zombie “Halloween” remakes got mixed reviews, the 2nd one was most hated than the 1st, but I personally enjoyed them both. I loved Rob Zombie’s unique way of film making and storytelling. Tyler Mane is a good choice for the new, Michael Myers. I thought both of these films were brilliant, and I plan to re-watch them both pretty soon. I have both on DVD. What people don’t understand is that Rob Zombie likes to focus on the badguy more than the goodguy, so his focus is entirely on Michael Myers throughout both of these films. I don’t care if other people loved or hated the films, I go by own opinion alone. These were excellent flicks! I think ROb Zombie is one of the best horror film directors out there, he really knows his stuff.

My bodybuilding dreams and goals…

Some people ask me what my goals are in bodybuilding and what I want to achieve. I used to not want to get as big as I possible can. I used to just want to get a small physique and become in decent shape, but I changed my mind. I DO, want to get big as possible. I want to take my bodybuilding dreams to the next level and try to look like a real bodybuilder. Bodybuilding is awesome. It’s an amazing feeling changing your life like this. I love getting feedback on my physique everywhere I go, and I love being at the center of people’s attention about my physique. It’s a great feeling, and that’s what pushing me to get bigger. The feedback from people is my motivation.

While I’m very proud of my physique, I still have work to do on a few body parts. I still need some improvements on the chest, need bigger chest pectorals. I also need to improve my calves (the muscles on the lower legs). I’m pretty happy with the rest of me though. The chest is the hardest part to improve but I’m trying. I just train the chest real hard once a week, so I can give it plenty of resting and healing. Not sure if my chest is better now, I plan to take new pics soon to see. I do various exercises for the chest each week. Something different. One week, I do a bunch of push ups. The next week I do free weight stuff like dumbbell presses. I don’t do bench pressing too much, I think it’s overrated. I just want to see how else I could get a bigger chest other than the bench press.

I don’t do bodybuilding just to get attention from people, I do it for me. To look better, and to live a healthy lifestyle. Not trying to sound like an ego maniac, but I still believe I’m the only true bodybuilder in my hometown of Greenwich. I go to the Y on a regular basis and most of the physiques that people have at the gym aren’t really that good. I haven’t seen much guys with true bodybuilder physiques, yet. A lot of people are pretty flabby and mostly skinny. I haven’t really seen any huge guys with monster arms yet. Sure, there might be a few guys with decent medium sized physiques, but not a pro bodybuilder physique.

My goal is to look like an actual bodybuilder, like my heroes, Stallone and Schwarzenegger. People say it’s impossible, but I can prove I can get there. I’ll get there in a couple of years or more, watch me. Like I said before, I may have started late on bodybuilding but it’s a good time to start. I’ll get bigger and leaner when I reach Stallone and Schwarzenegger’s age.

I know what I’m doing and doing an okay job so far, with no trainers or anything.

Report: Beyonce drops out of Eastwood’s “A Star Is Born” musical… who will replace her?

Pop star, Beyonce, has been slated to star in Clint Eastwood’s upcoming music, “A Star Is Born”, but she dropped out due to a busy schedule. The filming does not even have a start date yet.

More on the story, here.

Who should replace her? I’d say who cares! This project should be cancelled altogether. I can’t see Clint doing a musical. Although, it wouldn’t surprise me, if he’ll try to get Rihanna or Jennifer Hudson to replace her. *yawn*

Cool Video: “Hitchcock” trailer is here, and surprisingly looks very good too!

I was skeptical of this, but after seeing this trailer, the film looks promising. Anthony Hopkins looks great as Hitchcock, that guy can play anything that throws at him. I’ll be there for this one, I think. The film is about the making of “Psycho”, it’s not really a straight up biopic.

RIP Christopher Reeve who died 8 years ago today…

Back when Christopher Reeve passed away in 2004, I was devastated. I was heartbroken and it kind of killed me too. Chris, was a huge inspiration to me. A lifelong childhood hero. It’s a real shame what happened to him. The horse accident and being paralyzed for life for it. So sad. RIP to his wife Dana too. Hopefully the upcoming, “Man of Steel” movie will be dedicated to them. I’m sure it will be.

I first heard about Chris Reeve’s death when I was on vacation at the Martha’s Vineyard that year. I was truly shocked and sad that day. “Superman: The Movie” and “Superman II” will always be the greatest Superman flicks ever made. Warner Bros., can reboot the series all they want to, but Chris Reeve can’t be replaced.

Thought: The recent news on Hulk Hogan… doesn’t surprise me…

Isn’t it kind of funny that Hulk Hogan’s sex tape has been leaked and all of a sudden, Linda Hogan (Hulk’s ex-wife) has been arrested for DUI at the same time?

The story going around that Hulk Hogan’s longtime friend and radio interviewer, Bubba the Love Sponge (most famous for having a radioshow interviewing professional wrestlers), supposedly leaked a sex tape with Hogan in it, banging Bubba’s wife. On Howard Stern, Hogan claims that Bubba gave him the blessing to bang his wife. Turns out that Bubba videotaped it all, and leaked it to the web for the world to see.

Of course, typical Hulk cries about it, and takes legal action.

For those who think Hogan disgraced himself with the sex tape, don’t get the wrong idea. Hogan disgraced himself and destroyed his reputation for years, goes way back in his wrestling career. The douche has always been a fuckin’ trainwreck, ya know? The guy is an egomaniac, and a liar. He will do anything to defend himself just to make himself look good publicly after he misbehaves behind the scenes. He really believes he is “Hulkamaniac”, and he will do whatever it takes, to save his legacy and character. He hurt many people in the past and lied to a lot of people. Especially, when he lied about burying the hatchet with Macho Man Randy Savage before his death. It was a lie. Randy Savage always hated Hulk. Plus, Hulk is known to destroying and hurting other wrestlers like Bret Hart, Ultimate Warrior, Iron Sheik, Honky Tonk Man, etc. The list goes on.

Hogan’s a piece of shit. Always has been. I used to like Hulk Hogan back in the 80’s and during the 90’s WCW era when he was in the nWo. Hogan used to be cool, but now he’s a washed up loser.

Like I said plenty of times in this blog, if you don’t want nude photos or sex tapes leaked to the public where the whole world can see, then you shouldn’t have done that stuff at all. This was Hogan’s fault, clearly, and like always, he plays the innocent victim. Hulk is a lunatic and it’s just sad that he’s still going in wrestling working for TNA. A lot of legendary wrestlers have retired and moved on, but of course, Hulk keeps going. He thinks wrestling is all for himself. He’s a douche, a mess. To hell with Hulk.

Why a musician being in a romantic relationship with another musician is kind of risky…

Some of you have been seeing me not liking the idea of a musician dating another musician. Why would I prefer not to date another musician? These things have been happening quite a bit around the scene. I’ve been seeing local musicians getting into romantic relationships with other female musicians around the scene, even as far as getting married to them and stuff. Musician & musician relationships usually never work out, and never last that long anyway. Why? For a few simple reasons: 1) It’s all ego 2) She could be using you and for more publicity of her own music 3) Both of them are usually busy all the time with life and music. The list goes on, ya know? On top of that, they can really hurt you and destroy you bad. This is why I kind of prefer to date someone who doesn’t play an instrument or knows nothing about songwriting at all. I think musician couples are pretty whacky anyway but who knows though, sometimes those kind of relationships do work out for them, but rarely. This is just my opinion, so no offense to anyone about this.

The Brock’s Horror Film Pick #10: The Descent

This is a 2005 British horror film written and directed by, Neil Marshall. It’s about a group of young British women who go on an adventure to explore the deep caves. Exploring the caves start off good and fun for them for a while, but of course, they discover something mysterious and unusual. Creatures living in that cave.

This was actually one of the great horror film in the 2000’s years. I never used to be interested in this film ’cause I was skeptical of it. Then I finally rented the DVD from Netflix, and I’m like, “Holy shit, that film was impressive”. The story has a good plot, it was well acted by the women. It was filmed and directed pretty good too. Plus, it’s kind of scary as hell! Even though it’s still kind of an action movie more than horror, it is still real good. It was unpredictable and you never knew what was going to happen next.

Great flick. Definitely check it out.

Cool Video: Hear a new Neil Young & Crazy Horse song “Ramada Inn”…

Dare to listen to this full 17 minute track? I love it! As a matter of fact, I love songs that are over 10 minutes, ’cause in my opinion, I think 2 – 5 minute songs is too short for me. Some of you may think 20 minute songs are too slow and boring to you, but if you get used to it, the music will grow on you as you listen. The more you listen to 10 – 20 minute songs, the more it’ll seem that it’s not that long for you. I love rock bands that play long songs. It’s real art in my opinion. I’ll have a blog topic on long songs tomorrow.

The Brock is no woman hater, in fact, women are my favorite things in the world…

I am getting a bit tired and pissed about wrongly being accused of hating and disrespecting women. Maybe that could explain why I went off in that one blog post I deleted calling out certain readers. Maybe I was a bit out of line in that one post, which is why I removed it ’cause I was being frustrated. Just wanted to set the record straight, that I am no woman hater. I love them. They are my favorite people in the world and they are beautiful. I don’t treat women like objects and do treat them like real people. Women are really amazing. Smart, intelligent, beautiful, inside and out. They are 10x’s better than us men, for sure.

In that Arnold post, what I was saying it is pretty normal for guys to fantasize and have a big crush on women ’cause, that is what guys do, ya know? However, there’s also nothing wrong with guys having a sex addiction. If you’re going to have a sex addiction and sleep around different women, just make sure you’re not married first. I agree, it’s wrong to cheat, while you’re married or have a steady girlfriend. It’s a sick thing to do to destroy people’s lives like that, but who cares, right? Life goes on. It always does, right? Not the end of the world. When things like that happen, it takes a little time to move forward, heal, and make things better. Put things behind them, and make people forgive them. Bill Clinton put all that Monica Lewinsky stuff behind him and moved on. It looks like Robert and Kristen from the Twilight movie, is about to do the same, put it behind them, and move on. So will Arnold, ya know? Tiger Woods too. On top of all this, who cares about celebrities personal lives, ya know? FUCK ’em. They’re not important to us, I think that’s what I meant when I say personal lives of celebs are no big deal.

I would never be that kind of guy, and it was pretty rude & disrespectful, for you to come here to say that. I kept approving your comments in that Arnold post just to try and prove that I’m right on everything I said, and also just to show how dumb you all look.

As far as calling Kate a “hot piece of ass”, that’s just my funny way of calling sexy women, when I see someone beautiful. I say stuff like that to women all the time in facebook, when they post up sexy photos of themselves. I would say “Nice cleavage” or “Nice legs” and all that stuff. You know what? A lot of them women don’t mind! They actually like it when guys say that stuff to her. I don’t always talk like that to women though, I’ll compliment their looks in a clean manner a lot too. Depends on the woman.

I should have no problem getting myself a nice woman ’cause I’m getting told by some of them that I’m good looking and cute. No lie. Even the good looking and beautiful women have told me that stuff before. I do want to settle in with a nice woman sometime. Hopefully get married and start a family of my own, but I am looking for Ms. Right for that. She’s hard to find but I’ll do my best. I’m starting to be more confident talking to women and being around them more. I’ll admit it, I’m starting to get tired of living the single life.

I refuse to pick up women from bars ’cause the bar scene is not my thing anymore. Probably the best place I could meet someone is in the gym ’cause there’s a lot of women that workout at the Y. I don’t think I’ll date a woman who is a musician ’cause I don’t trust that, but she must love music though, that’s a huge plus. I’ve dated a few women myself in the past before, here and there, they just didn’t work out. I just hope to find someone who actually likes me for who I am.

I’m not gonna be a player or a man-whore or none of that stuff. I’m looking for someone special. True love. Real romance. A real relationship. I’m getting older and need to do something. Hopefully soon. I don’t need help from other people on how to understand women better, the goal is to have the confidence for yourself to do it. I’ve had my share of crushes of women that I was interested in, but of course, they had no interest in me in return. I’m sure I’ll find someone perfect, she’s out there.

I try not to say stuff about my personal life on here, but thought I would do this once, to defend myself, a little bit. So you’re welcome. Move along. I’ll leave comments closed, ’cause I don’t need you guys being smart asses about this post.
