Thought: What took so long for everyone to figure out Lady Gaga was ripping off Madonna?

Leave a comment

So Lady Gaga released her new single, “Born This Way” yesterday. Everyone immediately  saw that Lady Gaga ripped that song off Madonna. Hate to burst your bubble, Gaga fans, but Gaga have been ripping Madonna off from the very beginning. Not just, “Born This Way”, pretty much every Gaga song sounds like Madonna. Gaga even borrowed from Madge’s image too. I was liking Gaga up until, “Born This Way”, it’s not a good song at all, it just didn’t grab me this time.

I don’t see these two being friends for long. Be ready for a plagiarism lawsuit, Gaga.

Been busy all day…

Leave a comment

Didn’t blog all day today ’cause I went out shopping for furniture for this room. Going to get a new computer desk for my computer, a smaller computer desk this time around. I’m also getting a new entertainment center for my TV, DVR box, DVD player, and PS3 system. Will also be ordering a couple of wall hanging media storages, so I can shelf my CD and DVD collection all on the wall. Been cleaning this room all day. Getting new furniture is what I plan to do with my tax return money for this year.

When doing cleaning around, you’d be surprised of what you find around here. I came across my old guitar amplifier, that I used way back when I first started playing guitar. It’s an old Lafayette, electric guitar tube amp, I used back when I was 18 years old. I haven’t used the amp in years. I was going to throw it out, but I decided to plug it in to see if it still works. Yes, the Lafayette tube amp surprisingly works, there is one minor issue with it which can be fixed easily. I have three guitar amps now: my Fender Frontman 212R, a Crate amp, and a Lafayette. It’s good to have more than one guitar amp. Use one for playing live shows, and use the other for home. It’s good to use for back up too.

I’m done cleaning for the night, so I’ll catch up with the blog now.

Report: Charlize Theron joins Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus” sci-fi film…

Leave a comment

Actress, Charlize Theron, has said yes to starring in Ridley Scott’s new sci-fi film, “Prometheus”. She will star alongside Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender. The film is slated for a June 8th, 2012 release date. The film was originally going to be a prequel to the first “Alien” movie, but the script was re-written to an original motion picture instead.

The Hollywood Reporter, reports.

I love Charlize Theron. She’s a beautiful woman, sexy, and a talented actress as well. Looking forward to this now!

Report: “Die Hard 5” director found, Noam Murro will helm the next John McClane installment…

Leave a comment

Deadline reports, that an unknown director, I’ve never heard of, Noam Murro, have been confirmed to direct, “Die Hard 5”. Of course, Bruce Willis will reprise his longtime role of John McClane. Noam Murro directed only one movie in his career, which is a comedy called, “Smart People” that starred, Dennis Quaid and Sarah Jessica Parker. Do you think Noam will have what it takes to direct an action film? The reason they hired him is because FOX were impressed with his work for the “Halo” video game, so they thought he would be a good fit for the next Die Hard flick.

See the report here, at Deadline.

Well, all the Die Hard movies had a mix of action and comedy. Even the first one had a lot of comical scenes in it. Hopefully the next Die Hard flick will be a Hard R. “Live Free or Die Hard” the 4th one wasn’t a bad movie, I liked it, but it didn’t feel like a Die Hard movie. Probably because the last one was PG-13, no swearing, not as violent, and no blood. The last Die Hard flick was a family friendly movie. Hope they go back to the roots where the next one feels like the first one.

10 directors I’d love to see Arnold make a film with…

Leave a comment

Now that Arnold is finally back in Hollywood after a long 7 year Governor run, what directors do you want to see Arnold working with? I’m a huge fan of Arnold’s movies. I’ve pretty much watched all of his films.

Here are 10 directors I’d love to see Arnie working with in the future:

  1. Sly Stallone – How about a longer role for Arnie in, “The Expendables” sequel, Sly?
  2. Kathryn Bigelow – I can definitely see, “The Hurt Locker” director work on something with Arnie in the future.
  3. Christopher Nolan – Definitely not for a Batman/Superman flick, but I would love to see Chris Nolan work on an action film with Arnold.
  4. Clint Eastwood – I don’t think Arnold’s ever worked on a film with Eastwood before, maybe now it’s the time?
  5. Quentin Tarantino – Again, these two never worked together before. This would be an excellent collaboration and I’ve heard that Quentin’s been wanting Arnie for a long time.
  6. James Cameron – These guys would probably team up again, maybe not for another Terminator movie, but hopefully a sequel to the movie “True Lies”.
  7. Darren Aronofsky – I can see these two making a good thriller together, or maybe a sports film.
  8. David Fincher – I can see these two making some kind of drama or thriller. Would be a good team up.
  9. Ridley Scott – Another director Arnie never worked with, maybe someday?
  10. Guy Ritchie – I can see these two making some type of action/comedy together. Ritchie was once almost attached to direct, “Sgt. Rock” with Arnie but it never happened. Now that Arnie is done, maybe Guy and Arnie will finally do something!

    Report: Miley Cyrus confirmed to host SNL on March 5th!!!

    1 Comment

    Oh man, can Miley deal with SNL cast making fun of her in front of her face on national TV? The Disney star is set to host SNL on March 5th. Well, they will definitely do a parody of that “Bong” incident. What else will they make fun of Miley for? They’ll make fun of Billy Ray, her Dad. They might make fun of her sexy pictures that’s been leaked to the web. Of course, they’ll pick on Hannah Montanna too.

    This one ought to be good, I’ll probably watch.

    Report: Tom Cruise to play Jaxx in “Rock of Ages” musical film…

    Leave a comment

    After the Les Grossman role, prepare for even more dancing Tom Cruise on the big screen. Tom is closing in on a deal to star as Jaxx in the “Rock of Ages” musical. Jaxx is a character who sang Bon Jovi’s “Wanted: Dead or Alive”.

    The Hollywood Reporter, reports.

    We all know that Tom can dance good, but the question we all want to know is, can he sing? Yes, he can do that too.  He always had a passion for music.

    Report: Arnold to Hollywood, “I’m back”!!!

    Leave a comment

    Arnold makes it official on his twitter, that he is officially coming back to Hollywood. The CAA is an entertainment and sports agency, that helps celebrities and movie stars find work in the entertainment business.

    I wonder what Arnold’s first movie role will be now that he’s no longer governor? Hope it will be an action movie. It’s probably going to be that “Wings As Eagles” movie he’s been looking at for a long time.

    Anyhow, I’m pretty sure the makers of the Terminator franchise will beg Arnold to return to the leading role for “Terminator 5”. Will Christian Bale star along with Arnold for the next Terminator flick, hopefully? I’m sure Arnold will get a longer role for the “Expendables” sequel.

    I just hope Arnie will return to Terminator. I liked, “Terminator: Salvation”, it’s actually a great movie, but still, no Arnold. I want Arnold himself, not CGI Arnold. Hopefully he’ll still do action movies. I’m sure he will because Sly is still doing action movies. Did you know that Sly is a year older than Arnold? It’s true, look it up yourself.
