Report: George Clooney is dating former WWE star, Stacy Keibler? Yes, seems that it’s for real…

Leave a comment

I usually hate celebrity couples and celebrity gossip like always but I have to write about this one, since I like George Clooney as an actor and Stacy Keibler is one of my all time favorite, WWE stars. It seems that George found himself a new lady already. George and Stacy both flew to Lake Como, Italy where he has a home there.

See the full story, here.

Even though Stacy or George haven’t confirmed this pairing yet, Stacy have been dropping hints about it on her twitter page. She wrote that she went to Cannes film festival and she has nothing to do with movies, I bet George took her over to Cannes with him.

If this pairing is true which I’m sure it is, I actually like this couple. Stacy is hotter than hell, she has the most amazing legs I’ve ever seen. She’s a pretty tall woman too and I’m sure she’s taller than George.

Stacy hooked up with George Clooney before he got someone else. I’m sure plenty of women were after him. So the question you have to ask is this. Is George a fan of professional wrestling? Who knew.

In defense of Laurence Fishburne as Perry White…

Leave a comment

Yesterday, when Laurence Fishburne was announced that he is officially on board to play Perry White for Zack Snyder’s Superman “Man of Steel” film, this news got mixed reactions of course. Some love it. Some hate it. For those who hate it, just don’t like the idea of a black Perry White. I’m reading other blogs and message boards with fans giving feedback on this news, and I’m seeing so much hateful and racist postings about this news.

Seriously people?  This isn’t the first time the Superman movies experimented with a black character. Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor) from “Superman III” anyone?

I think turning Perry White into a black man is a great idea. It’ll bring in a whole new audience and will bring in more black people to see the movie.

Jackie Cooper as Perry White was pretty good, but he wasn’t mean and aggressive enough. In the comics, Perry is supposed to be a mean and tough guy to get along with. I think Laurence will fit the mean and tough guy role just perfectly.

The new “Spiderman” comics just turned Spiderman into a black and bi-sexual guy after Peter Parker was killed. I’m sure other comic book superheroes experimented with black characters too. So there’s nothing wrong with turning Perry White black. Keep in mind that Perry White wasn’t a very big character. He was just a supporting character. You can make changes with other characters, all you want, but you can’t change Superman himself into a black person.

Perry White have been the same character for over 30 years, so it don’t hurt to change him around a bit. I think Laurence would give the Perry White role a powerful performance that might be good enough for an Oscar nod, possibly.

I mean, this isn’t the first time Zack Snyder “Man of Steel” has been making changes with the other characters in the Superman franchise. Like Ma and Pa Kent for example. Ma and Pa Kent were meant to be an elderly couple, but Snyder hired Diane Lane and Kevin Costner to play them who are both a little younger. Lois Lane is not a redhead, yet they got Amy Adams to play her. Henry Cavill is a British actor and yet Christopher Reeve/Brandon Routh were both American actors to play Superman. See? They’re making changes with all the characters, not just Perry White.

When they cast Jimmy Olsen which I assume which will be next, don’t be surprised if Jimmy could be black, Asian, Mexican, etc. Jimmy could even be much older too. He could even be a little teenager.

I bet they just want this Superman movie to be more realistic so it can feel real and believable. I think Laurence Fishburne is fine casting. I really love the casting to this movie so far. I haven’t been disappointed with any of them yet. Hopefully they cast someone good for Jimmy Olsen.

Feuds with people online…

Leave a comment

In the past, I used to use this blog to call out people by full name who would start bullshit with me, but I learned it was a mistake in my part. I am adult enough to learn from my mistakes. I learned what karma was all about. I could have continued that if I wanted to, talk about people however I wanted, but I stopped doing that a long time ago. Simply because I didn’t want to be known as an internet badguy. It kept getting me in trouble, that’s karma. I am a better person than to be an internet badguy. Even though I quickly changed my internet personality to a better person, there’s always going to be some people who still think I am an asshole, right? Who the hell cares. I can’t please everyone on this planet.

The point of this blog post is when you put yourself out there for the world to see, becoming a public figure, you’ll get a mix between love and hate. You respond to all the haters, and defend yourself at everything, your life will be nothing but negativity even more. That’s why it’s best to let all negativity of any kind, slide right by and ignore it all.

That guy with the plastic bag on his head (not naming his name but you know what I’m talking about), one day karma is going to get him really badly. When he feuds with everyone like that, he is doing that for the attention of himself. He’s an attention whore, that’s all he is. He just does it as his way of promoting himself and his stupid TV show. He’s never going to change to be a better person. He’ll be like this ’til the day he dies. I just hope one day he goes to prison or goes to the mental hospital, so he won’t be on the streets hurting people on a video camera.

Exactly how built do I want to get???

Leave a comment

I haven’t wrote about fitness here in a while so I thought I would do that now. Some of you may ask, how much bigger do I plan on getting? This is my 3rd year doing fitness now, yes, that’s right, 3 years of bodybuilding and already off to a great start. I’m getting great results so far, I think. The only things I need to get improved on are the pecs and obliques, and I am working on both. I used to never want to get big as possible, just a medium sized built, but now I’m thinking I’m going to get as big and muscular as I possibly can. It’s going to take me years to do but I’m going to do it I think.

I will never compete in a bodybuilding competition ’cause I don’t want that kind of ego. I believe I can do it. Get the Sly & Arnold look that I am hoping to aim for. Two guys that inspired me to get into this in the first place. Become the best shape of my life sometime in the future. I will never give this up. This will be a lifelong commitment. I just want the look for myself. Be happy, healthy and getting a better life.

I’ll post end of the summer progress pics soon.

Report: Gemma Whelan is Asha Greyjoy for “Game of Thrones – Season 2″…

Leave a comment

HBO’s “Game of Thrones – Season 2” has made another major casting. They found their Asha Greyjoy, and she will be played by a young actress named, Gemma Whelan who can be seen in “The Wolfman” and “Gulliver’s Travels” remakes. Asha Greyjoy is one of the important characters in “Clash of Kings” the second book. Asha doesn’t become a POV character until “Feast for Crows”.

More on the story, here.

The casting for Season 2 is looking really great so far. I really can’t wait. I absolutely love “Game of Thrones” series, both the books and the TV show.

Cool Photo: First look at Henry Cavill as Superman? Eh, sort of…

Leave a comment

First pics of Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel? Not really. It’s just Henry himself walking down the street with the Superman hairdo, he’s got the “S” curl and everything. To be honest, I’m not too thrilled yet, but I’ll make my opinion whenever we see Henry in the actual Superman suit, which we hope to see pics of that soon.

See the pics, here.

BREAKING NEWS: And the new Perry White for Zack Snyder’s “Superman: Man of Steel” is???

Leave a comment

Hmmmm, what’s funny is that I just got done watching “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace” on Blu Ray and a new Superman casting has been announced for Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” film. Perry White has finally been casted! Laurence Fishburne will be the Daily Planet boss.

Read more on the story, here.

So they’re going for a black Perry White this time? Interesting! I like the casting. I’m sure Laurence will kill it!

I still say “Superman IV: The Quest For Peace” is the worst Superman film ever…

Leave a comment

I just got done watching “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace” on Blu Ray, the final Superman movie starring Christopher Reeve. Yep, I still say the film is the worst Superman film ever made. I had to stuck through it just to make the money’s worth for the Blu Ray set.

The film is not all the way bad, however, there were just a few good scenes. For example, I loved the scene where Clark goes back to his Smallville home where Jonathan and Martha Kent used to live. I also actually liked how Superman showed the emotional side of him when he refused to respond to Jeremy’s letter on getting rid of Nuclear arms. Plus, Lex Luthor’s nephew, Lenny (played by Jon Cryer) was actually a good character and funny too. Those are the good things I can say about “Superman IV”.

Everything else is just really bad. Too many plot holes, terrible special effects, some of the action scenes were very silly and plus, Nuclear Man is just a horrible villain. I’ve read somewhere that Christopher Reeve was the one who created the Nuclear Man character ’cause Chris had a hand in the writing part for “Superman IV”.

I find it really sad that “Superman IV” had to be Chris’s last Superman movie. I just wish Chris could be around to make another one. RIP Chris Reeve.

The Superman Blu Ray set is really nice so far though. I’m loving it so much! I’ll watch “Superman: Returns” on Blu Ray later this week.

Local music

Thought: About the music scene currently…

2 Comments

I don’t mean to sound like a negative nancy about the Capital District of music scene but I just want to get a few things off my chest. Throughout the years, I have seen many great bands & solo acoustic acts come and go. Bands either break up or move out of this area to further their careers else where. A lot of solo acoustic acts that I used to like, you never hear much from them anymore either. They too either quit playing music or moved out of the area. Why do you see so many bands & solo artists come and go? Because Albany is a shit music scene and it’s not much of a scene anymore. Sorry but it’s true. Somebody had to say it.

This is part of the reason why I don’t gig much even though I would like to. I don’t want to be playing bars all the time because I hate bars & the club scene. All bands and local music fans seem to want to do is party and get drunk like high school teenagers. Whatever happened to enjoying the love of music? Where is the passion? I don’t see that here anymore.

This music scene is also the most unprofessional and childish acting music scene I’ve ever seen. It’s almost embarrassing. Too many assholes, drama queens and too much negativity around here. I wish people would concentrate on the music rather than bringing negativity and politics into shit. Where is the professionalism around here? There’s none of it.

Some of the egos in bands & musicians nowadays are out of this world. Everybody wants to think their so big & talented. It’s crazy. Don’t get me wrong there are still some bands & musicians around here that I like and respect but not many, only very few.

I wish this area could be a better music scene. If it was, I would be gigging a lot more, and supporting other band shows more other than my own music. I don’t go to local band shows much anymore for a reason, although I still go out and see a band once in a while that I really like. People need to cut the childish bullshit so we can enjoy the music scene better. Too much bullshit all over the area.

So MTV celebrates 30 years of being on TV but I’m having a hard time celebrating it…

1 Comment

I remember when I was a kid, all I would do when I get back home from school is watch videos on MTV the rest of the evening. MTV used to be nothing but music in the 80’s and early 90’s, but MTV is not music anymore. It’s nothing but garbage reality shows now so it’s hard to celebrate their 30 years, that I just don’t care. I used to LOVE MTV back in the old days but now I hate the station.

The only good thing about MTV today is that they’re bringing, Beavis & Butthead back, that’s the only reason I’ll start watching MTV again.

I miss old school MTV. I miss watching the 80’s hair metal and 90’s grunge eras. MTV still does play videos but mostly shit videos. I’ll celebrate the “history” of MTV, but I won’t celebrate how they are now.

If it weren’t for MTV, I would have never heard of Twisted Sister and Dire Straits because it was MTV that made those two bands for what they were.
