Report: *sigh* Robert Zemeckis eyes “Wizard of Oz” remake!
Oh man! Not the original “Wizard of Oz”! It doesn’t need a remake! Warner Bros. is in talks with Robert Zemeckis to direct a live action remake, of the “Wizard of Oz”. They plan to use the original 1939 script that Warner Bros. owns. They own the script because it came with the MGM library that WB’s bought off of Ted Turner. The script was written by Noel Langley, Florence Ryerson, and Edgar Allan Woolf.
Disney is developing a prequel titled, “Oz: The Great and Powerful” to be directed by Sam Raimi.
See the article at Deadline, here.
Who would want to see a “Wizard of Oz”, remake? They’re probably gonna get Amy Adams as Dorothy since Amy can sing. Will Tom Hanks be the Scarecrow, Tin Man or the Cowardly Lioin?

BREAKING NEWS: Alright, Beatles fanatics, start getting the Fab Four albums digitally now!!
Wow! This is really amazing news! Apple and The Beatles always been strict with Itunes and digital music, look like they’ve had a change of heart all of a sudden! Before, you couldn’t get Beatles music on Itunes. Now you can! Yes, that means you can download all of their studio albums. That’s great, because I stopped buying CD’s. I buy albums digitally from Itunes mostly. I’ll be able to collect all of the Beatles albums, which I will start doing soon. Thanks to Apple and Paul McCartney/Ringo Starr for making it happen for us!

The reason Bret Hart wasn’t on “Old School RAW” last night!
Here it is. Why wasn’t “The Hitman” on old school RAW last night, when I’m sure everyone has been expecting him? Bret is still working for WWE, however, he’s over in Europe for a Smackdown tour. He’s performing house shows over seas. House shows, means, wrestling events that aren’t televised.
Read about it, here.
There you have it.

Brock reviews 3 hour “Old School WWF” RAW last night…
I really liked, last night’s RAW, they went “Old School”. They went to their old style of WWE programming they had back in the 80’s and early 90’s. Back in the days when WWE used to be really good. A lot of people complain and whine about this PG rating, but if you seriously think about it, WWE started off as PG when they first started in the 80’s. The WWE brought out a bunch of old legends from the past, which was really cool and kids who didn’t watch WWE back then, got their chance to experience what WWE was like back in the old days. Vince wanted to remind us what WWE was like back in the day. When I was a child, I was obsessed with old school WWF. Used to wake up Saturday mornings just to watch WWF.
Legendary wrestlers that performed last night: Cowboy Bob Orton, Mean Gene Okerlund, The Brooklyn Brawler, George the Animal Steele, Harvey Whippleman, Howard Finkel, Mark Henry as the “Sexual Chocolate” gimmick, Yoshi Tatsu, Tony Atlas, Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff, Jimmy Superfly Snuka, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Mae Young, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Sgt. Slaughter, Tito Santana, Chavo Classic, Arn Anderson, Ron Simmons, Gerry Brisco, Tatanka, etc. You name it, most of them were there.
Of course, it would have been a better show if the important old school legends made a one time appearance. I wish Stone Cold, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man Randy Savage and especially Bret Hart came out, but none of them did sadly. It’s understandable why Hulk Hogan wouldn’t show up since he’s working for TNA and Hulk wants nothing to do with WWE anymore.
It was actually an exciting RAW but a slight disappointment. I didn’t like the ending. Yes, Rowdy Roddy Piper pulls off a really good promo and speech like he always does, but of course, John Cena ends up being the hero again by beating up Wade Barrett at the end. I’m so tired of RAW ending with Cena being the hero. We’ve been getting these type of endings week after week for the past several years. WWE can never come up with an original ending these days. I was hoping the entire Nexus group would come out and destroy Piper, but of course that didn’t happen. That’s why they had all those legends at the top of the ramp so they can protect Piper from the Nexus.
I actually thought the Mae Young and Lay-Cool segment was very entertaining. I also loved the backstage skit with Randy Orton/Cowboy Bob and Kofi Kingston, Mean Gene Okerlund. They were filming that backstage interview old school WWF style, with that low budget background. Randy and Kofi were talking like old school wrestlers back in the 80’s which was kind of cool. It was very weird not seeing Bret Hart last night. You’d think the Hitman would be there for this with the Heart Dynasty. Not sure why Bret Hart wasn’t there, I’ll look it up.
It was a pretty good show, just wish they ended it better.

I have plans to make a full band demo CD soon
Yes, that’s right. I am committed to do doing something musically that I’ve always wanted. Make a full band CD. When I get enough new songs written, I’m going to start searching for musicians online who have ProTools so we can work together online, putting band backup behind my songs. Yes, I will use a click track when recording so other musicians can keep time. My electric guitar and vocals sounded clean enough, so I think it’s good enough for other musicians to record their instruments on. Of course, I will pay them money to work with me if they request it to be paid but it will be worth it to make my project dream come true. My full band CD that I have planned, will most likely be a hard rock album, it won’t be acoustic. That one song I posted online, “Be Home Safe”, that song is pretty close to being hard rock/metal as you can tell. I will re-record that track to make the timing and vocals better.
After I make my full band demo CD, hopefully, I’ll start saving money to send the CD to a CD making company, to release an actual album with an album cover. I’ve always wanted to release an official album, it’ll happen someday, folks, trust me. All this stuff takes time and money to do.
Yes, of course, I plan to make a few older songs into full band versions too, songs like: “Mr. Tough Guy”, “Time Bomb”, “Take a Little Trip With Me”, etc. I want to concentrate on mostly new songs.
As far as “Evil Fred” being a full band song goes, I don’t know. I will leave that one acoustic ’cause that one was meant to be an acoustic song, not electric. I still might add a few instruments to that, “Evil Fred” tune though, maybe a couple of violins and cellos, a harp or a piano using MIDI software that I have. I want to get back into making music again, so I can get back out there in the scene, playing live gigs ’cause I miss that. This time do something a little different ’cause this acoustic thing can get boring after awhile.

Report: Sean Rowe gets signed to Anti Records!!!
A big announcement was made in the Capital District of local music today. What is that announcement? Local Capital District, singer/songwriter, Sean Rowe, has been signed to Anti Records. He’s now on the same label with other famous acts such as Tom Waits, Neko Case, Booker T, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Beth Orton, and more. Keep in mind, that Anti Records is a pretty big label, this label became well known when Tom Waits won a grammy for his album, “Mule Variations”.
Read more on the story, here.
I’ve admired Sean’s music for a long time. Will he ever be big & famous someday? I think he’ll get there, and him getting on this label is the right direction for him to get there. Congrats to Sean. “Magic” is my favorite local album. I’m always listening to that album on my Ipod, all the time, it’s an addicting album to listen to. That album means a lot to me and it’s very inspiring. I think he’ll go very far. Maybe we’ll start seeing him perform on national TV. I have a feeling Sean will no longer be local. He’s a talented songwriter and the best in the area.
For those who haven’t heard him, check out these videos.

Brock praises the “Walking Dead” episode 3, it was better than the first two!!!
Wow!!!! I’m so blown away by the “Walking Dead” TV series so far as I have now caught up with the show last night. Saw the second and third episode on AMC last night. The episode “Guts” the second one was pretty good, but the third one, “Tell Them To the Frogs” was the best one yet! Over the years, most TV shows are crap and once in a while, a good TV show comes around. The “Walking Dead” is the best show on television. George A. Romero should take note on how to do the zombie thing ’cause Frank Darabont does it better.
The third episode had a good storyline and good acting with all cast members, especially to Michael Rooker, who plays the bad guy, and I was impressed with his acting the most. You would recognize Michael Rooker from the Stallone movie, “Cliffhanger”, which he is well known for. Michael Rooker plays Merie, who is an expert gunman and he hangs on the roof of a building shooting zombies with a sniper gun. When Rick Grimes and his friends reach the top of the building to hide from the chasing zombies, Michael Rooker’s character, Merie started harassing him and his friends, then he gets handcuffed by Rick and the gang just left him there, to go back to the camp site where Rick reunites with his wife and son there. While there, a bit of a love triangle soap opera starts between, Shane, Lori, and Rick. Shane and Lori had an affair together while Rick was out hunting zombies in the city trying to survive (Lori was Rick’s wife). Rick haven’t confronted Shane about Lori yet, but he will soon, I’m sure.
The “Walking Dead” is my new obsession and I’ll be watching every Sunday for sure. As you all know, I love horror and zombie fiction is my favorite. Out of all the horror TV shows from the past: “Tales from the Crypt”, “Tales From the Darkside”, etc. I would say, “Walking Dead” is the best horror TV show by far. It’s really shocking that AMC would air a show that is really bloody, and gory. The show won’t air nudity of course, but at least they don’t cut out the swearing and blood & guts.
You gotta wonder what Stephen King thinks about this show. I’m sure he is watching too. Stephen King will probably speak about the show soon when he writes to Entertainment Weekly again. Can’t wait to hear his thoughts!

New song? New Brock music on the way???
Well, new song ideas are starting to hit me, pretty hard. Yes, I’ve finally started writing new ones again. Recorded a new one on my ProTools this morning. Here is a new song called, “Be Home Safe”, another war/political based song, a song about being home safely and staying alive from all the wars and evil in the world. This is just a rough draft, it was quickly recorded in one take. The vocals aren’t the best and no click track with the guitar playing. I will improve the song down the road.
It’s just me and my electric guitar, using a Boss Super Overdrive pedal. I hope this will be a full band track down the road too and I hope to make a full band demo CD in the future.
Enjoy it, here. Click play or feel free to download.

Brock is enjoying Harry Potter more and more…
Yes, I’ll admit it. J.K. Rowling is a genius storyteller. The reason the blog has been slow this weekend is because I’ve been trying to catch up watching the Harry Potter films before Friday’s “Deathly Hollows” release. So far, I have watched the first three Harry Potter films: “The Sorcerer’s Stone”, “Chamber of Secrets” and “Prisoner of Azkaban”. So far, I’m loving them all. The movies are fun and the storytelling is great. Plus, the action and special effects are way cool.
I’m only going to watch one Harry Potter film tonight, which will be, “Goblet of Fire”. I’m only watching one Harry Potter film ’cause later tonight, I need to catch up watching “The Walking Dead” series ’cause AMC will be re-airing the first two episodes tonight. I already saw the first episode of “The Walking Dead” online, but the internet don’t have the second episode, so I’ll watch it on TV tonight before the new third episode.
I’ve worked my day job for a full 7 day straight in one week, so my boss gave me the weekend off to rest up before another busy week next week. So I’m just relaxing this weekend by watching movies/some TV at night, playing guitar, and doing some reading. Been working out at the gym most of the week too. Today is my day off of workouts, need to have a few of those every week.
Back to Harry Potter, it’s interesting how much I go from hating a franchise to loving it. I guess Harry Potter grew on me.
