Report: Hugh Hefner re-buys Playboy empire, takes it private…

1 Comment

First Hugh Hefner gets engaged to 24 year old, Crystal Harris, and now this! Hugh Hefner re-buys Playboy Enterprises as a way to stop Penthouse magazine from buying it. The Hef plans to take the company private like the old school days of Playboy.

More on the story, here.

To those who think this is about money, I don’t think it is. Hugh Hefner, doesn’t want Penthouse magazine to take over Playboy, it’s simple as that. I can’t blame him. I don’t want FriendFinder/Penthouse owning Playboy too. Only Hef should have control of Playboy. No one but him.

I like Playboy more than Penthouse. Penthouse magazine isn’t good anymore. Penthouse was good before FriendFinder bought it. I buy Playboy magazine once in a while, whenever something good is in it.

The Jets vs. The Colts last night…

Leave a comment

Yes, I watched the Jets vs. The Colts game last night. Sat there and watched the whole thing. It was an incredible game. A history making game. Thanks to Nick Folk who did a classic field goal kick at the very end. The Jets came this close to losing. I’m happy the Jets made the play offs.

I’ve followed NFL most of this year. I’ve really grown into loving football. As you get older, you start to get into more sports. It’s a maturing kind of thing.

I know the Jets aren’t the greatest team but they did good last night. I always root for NY, the home state team. I hope a NY team will make the Superbowl this year and I’m crossing my fingers, the Jets will be in the Superbowl. Hope so.

Brock’s thoughts on the Tucson, Arizona shooter, Jared Lee Loughner…

1 Comment

Yes, I’ve been following the Arizona shooter story that happened yesterday. What shocked me the most is that Jared Lee Loughner didn’t kill himself after the murders he committed. Most shootings ends with the gunman shooting themselves in the head. For some reason, Jared let himself live and to be taken into custody. Why? Did he want to see what happened after he did this? Probably.

6 people died, with US Representative Gabrielle Giffords wounded. What’s even more heartbreaking about this story is that this kid gunned down a 9 year old girl and her mother. All this happened during a political meeting called “Congress at Your Corner” at the Safeway supermarket.

The question everyone wants to know is why? I think the obvious answer is, that Jared is upset and pissed off at US politics just like every one else. Considering that Giffords was part of US government, not local, he thought he would do something about the government himself by committing this crime. People may think he’s a normal kid and a  good guy, but really? Just because people seem normal doesn’t mean they are a good person. You never know what kind of people they really are. Anybody can do things like this.

Did he do it for fame? Maybe so, but I think there’s a more important reason he did this. He’s another one of those people who are obsessed with politics. I pay attention to politics but I’m not that obsessed with it. If you’re this obsessed with politics then something is wrong with you and that’s a warning sign.

Happy Birthday: Jimmy Page

Leave a comment

There’s another huge birthday to celebrate in the world of music today. Today is Jimmy Page’s 67’th birthday! Happy Birthday, Jimmy! This is the man that inspired me to pick up the guitar. I like a lot of guitarists out there but Jimmy Page is my no. 1. I too hope he comes out with a new music project soon. It’s been a long time since he’s done something since the Led Zeppelin reunion at the O2.

Report: Ivan Reitman says “Ghostbusters 3” script is done and have been sent to Bill Murray!!!

Leave a comment

Ivan Reitman, the director of the first two “Ghostbusters” films, announced that the “Ghostbusters 3” script is finally done and sent to Bill Murray to get his approval. Ivan says Bill haven’t read the script yet and says the script is good enough to get the film made.

The Associated Press, reports.

We all know how strict and picky Bill is with the next Ghostbusters film. Lets hope he’ll be happy with this script whenever he gets around to reading it. I think Bill Murray still looks really good in the Ghostbusters suit. Remember, he put the suit back on for the “Scream” awards last year. He looked pretty happy wearing the suit again, so there’s a possibility he might come back! Hope so, cross our fingers.

Happy Birthday: Elvis Presley

Leave a comment

Today is not only David Bowie’s birthday, it is also Elvis Presley’s birthday! Yes, if the King of Rock N’ Roll was still alive today, he would have been 75. Would Elvis still be making music, touring and acting in movies if he was still alive? Of course he would. I don’t see him giving that stuff up if he was still here. Elvis is an inspiration too.

Happy Birthday: David Bowie

Leave a comment

Today is David Bowie’s 64th birthday. He is such a hero to me. I’m such a huge fan of Bowie’s music, I’ve followed his music for years and he’s one of the reasons I became a songwriter. Thanks David, and enjoy your day, where ever you are. Please come out a with new studio album and do a new tour. I think a Bowie comeback to music is appropriate and the world is ready for you to return!

Report: Quentin Tarantino wrote new zombie film, Eli Roth will direct it…

Leave a comment

Quentin Tarantino exclusively revealed on his twitter page that he just wrote a zombie horror film titled, “The Night The Dead Walked”. He also announced that Eli Roth will direct the film. This is really Tarantino’s twitter page, ’cause only he can get out the script he just put out for the public. Go to his twitter and download the script, “The Night the Dead Walked”. The script is over 30 pages long, it’s only a preview, not the entire film. Give it a read, it’s pretty good.

Tarantino’s twitter page.

As you can see, he gave me a “retweet” after giving him feedback on his work. Tarantino is no stranger to writing scripts in the horror genre. “From Dusk ‘Til Dawn” anyone? He wrote and starred in “From Dusk to Dawn” along with George Clooney, Tarantino didn’t direct “Dawn” though, Robert Rodriguez did.

Looking forward to seeing, “The Night the Dead Walked”. I’m a big Tarantino fan, I follow everything he does.

Report: The plot to the new “Muppets” movie is out and it’s disappointing…

Leave a comment

The plot to the new “Muppets” movie is out, and I don’t really like it at all. I like the Muppets and I want them to have a good movie. After reading the plot, I’m already worried about this film, that we might get another shitty Muppet movie.

The plot is, the original Muppets: Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Animal, Gonzo, etc. have all retired to move on to new careers. Three new Muppets are introduced in the film and they go help find the original Muppets to reunite the gang. The movie will be taken place in Los Angeles. Probably around the Hollywood area, so expect a lot of celebrity cameos.

Read more on the story, here.

The only great Muppet movies were, “The Great Muppet Caper” and “The Muppets Take Manhatten”. They were excellent films, but the other ones were pretty crappy. I really hope this one will be good, but I don’t know. I’ll wait to see a trailer first, and then I’ll make my decision if I want to see it in theater or not.
