The Brock’s plans for Halloween next weekend!

Leave a comment

How am I going to spend my Halloween next weekend? Am I going to sit around and watch horror films at home like I do every year? No. For once, I’m going to do something completely different this year. Next week, I’m going to Orlando, Florida for a while. For a little vacation and get away from everything. I’ve never been to Florida in my life and always wanted to go check it out. I’ve been to California once, but never Florida.

What am I going to do in Orlando? Will I go to Disney World or the Epcot Center? Maybe, but it’s pretty unlikely. I’m going to check out other theme parks that are there. Definitely going to Universal Studios, definitely going to check out Sea World in Orlando, and definitely going to “Halloween Horror Nights”. Also, I will spend the day in downtown Orlando city to do some fun shopping and stuff there. The new Star Wars game, “The Force Unleashed II” comes out next week on Tuesday, so I’ll pick up the game in Florida if I can find a video game store around there and I’m sure I will run into a video game store in Florida ’cause I’m sure there are plenty of them.

I just want to get away from New York for a while. Have some time for myself and enjoy myself. I’m looking forward to Universal Studios ’cause I can’t wait to go on all the movie themed rides such as the Jaws ride, Jurassic Park ride, and all that other stuff. Will probably check out the Harry Potter theme park even if I’m not a Harry Potter fan, I’ll check it out anyway.

Halloween Horror Nights is a Haunted House kind of thing Universal has every year on Halloween. It’s been going on for 20 years. I’m more looking forward to this ’cause I’m such a huge fan of horror films and scary things. Check out their website, here.

Sea World Orlando, I do like animals which is why I went to the famous San Diego Zoo a couple of years back. Now I want to check out Sea World which will be interesting.

Yes, I plan on bringing my video cam to document my Orlando adventure for youtube, but the only thing, I won’t bring my video cam inside the theme parks ’cause they won’t allow it. I’m sure I’m gonna have a blast. Can’t wait!

Report: 20 year old woman, becomes police chief in Mexico…

Leave a comment

A young Mexican woman named, Valles Garcia, becomes a police chief in Mexico. She is just a 20 year old criminology student. She was the only person who accepted the job as police chief. Her goal as police chief is that she wants to establish programs in neighborhoods and schools, so they can win back security and be safe from violence.

Read this amazing article, here.

While that is an amazing story, she better have good protection. Mexican gangs and drug lords are very dangerous people. They could go after her and kill her if they wanted. While I give her respect for her bravery, what’s she’s doing is pretty risky.

I wish her good luck.

Report: Mark Wahlberg, offered to play “The Crow” for re-boot…

Leave a comment

It is reported that Mark Wahlberg have been offered to play the leading role and hero of the film, “The Crow”, for the re-boot.

More on the story, here.

Brandon Lee, the son of Bruce Lee, starred in the original “Crow” movie, which is where Brandon died in a gun accident while shooting an action scene on set. I thought the original, “Crow” movie was amazing, but the sequels after that, were really bad.

Honestly, I think the “Crow” re-boot is well deserved and needed ’cause it could go for another try. As long as they make it similar to the first one, make it dark, violent, and action packed, I’ll be happy. I think Mark Wahlberg is a perfect choice to play this hero. I can definitely see him in white face paint!

BREAKING NEWS: Jean Claude Van Damme suffers minor heart attack on his new film, “Weapon”!!!

Leave a comment

Action star, Jean Claude Van Damme, suffers a minor heart attack before filming any of his scenes on his new movie, “Weapon”. He was admitted to New Orleans hospital before returning back home to, Belgium, where he lives. His wife and children joined him in New Orleans. It was just a small heart attack, so he is expected to make a full recovery quickly.

More on the story, here.

Well JCVD, did have a huge addiction with cocaine in the past. Yes, he was very addicted. Cocaine WILL do this to you. This is only the beginning for Jean Claude. The next heart attack might be worse. I know he doesn’t do cocaine anymore, he cleaned up his act a long time ago, but your past with drugs will come back and hit ya, no matter if you’re clean or not.

I wish Jean Claude well.

RIP: Tom Bosley 1927 – 2010

Leave a comment

First we lose America’s favorite TV Mom, Barbara Billingsley, now we lose our favorite TV Dad, Tom Bosley who is famous for playing Mr. Cunningham on the hit 80’s TV sitcom, “Happy Days”. He died at his home in Palm Springs, California. Very sad news. “Happy Days” was also a favorite show of mine growing up. Henry Winkler and Ron Howard must be devastated by this news. Sad loss. RIP, Mr. Cunningham!

Cool Video: Jimmy McMillan, “The Rent Is Too Damn High”…

Leave a comment

I didn’t watch last night’s NY Governor Debate which facebook was all over this in their walls, so I saw what was so entertaining about it in youtube. It was Jimmy McMillan that kept the debate entertaining and comical. His “Rent Is Too High” speech is very inspiring and moving. I think McMillan is the only one worth paying attention to out of the candidates at the debate. I didn’t watch it ’cause I can’t stand Carl Paladino and Andrew Cuomo. Jimmy McMillan seems like the right choice for NY Governor, I guess he will be my pick. Anybody but Paladino and Cuomo. I can take McMillan though.

SNL will be all over McMillan’s speech this weekend!

Report: NBC’s “The Event” gets a full season deal!!!

Leave a comment

Not surprisingly, NBC’s “The Event”, has been greenlighted for a full season! I don’t care about the other shows getting the greenlight, but “The Event” is one show that I actually like. I’ve been watching, “The Event” every week, and have been pretty hooked to the story line.

See the article here at, Deadline.

The show is getting a lot of nasty critics by viewers, but in my opinion, I think the show is really really really good. Why do I like the show so much? I’ll explain in another post some other time in full detail. I’ll defend the series to get viewers to understand of what they don’t understand about it. It’s the best Prime Time show in a while. Not better than “Friday Night Lights”, but “The Event” is science fiction. We haven’t had a science fiction TV series in a long while. I record this show on my DVR since WWE RAW is on during this time.

Thought: Justin Bieber punching a kid in the face at laser tag game, was it an accident or not?

Leave a comment

Justin Bieber is under investigation by the police. What for? The Biebs was playing a game of laser tag with a bunch of other kids around his age. Other kids started shooting the laser tag gun at Biebs, which caused him to punch one of the kids in the face. The other kids started calling him gay slurs like “f***t” and all that.

See the article, here.

Well, I don’t find it a surprise that a bunch of kids would start crap with Biebs during a laser tag game. Why? Because Biebs is the world’s famous superstar, an icon. Rich and famous, all that. The other kids don’t have the life that he has. So the other kids started bullying Biebs with a jealous rage. Probably jealous of his fame and fortune. I don’t see how someone could accidentally punch someone in the face. Sounds to me that Biebs is just like any other pre-teen school kid. A kid that doesn’t like to be bullied on so they use violence as a retaliation. I don’t think it’s an accident.

Cool Video: Vince McMahon wants WWE fans to help stick up for WWE from this Richard Blumenthal vs. Linda McMahon feud…

Leave a comment

Linda McMahon is running for Connecticut state Senate against Richard Blumenthal. Blumenthal is doing whatever it takes to get Linda to lose the election by blaming the WWE on a lot of things. Such as treating the WWE Divas like sex slaves, violence, wrestlers using drugs & steroids, etc. You get the drill. It was only a matter of time that Vince will jump in on this feud to help his wife. Here he is, urging WWE fans that he wants WWE’s fans to help stick up for WWE and not be looked at in a bad way.

What is my prediction on this heated election in Conn.? I think Linda has a good chance in winning the whole thing. Her WWE controversy is what’s going to help her get more votes.

Watch what Vince McMahon have to say here…

Report: Kanye West album cover banned ’cause of nudity???

Leave a comment

Kanye West is about to release a new album, but his record label banned the album cover ’cause they felt it was too racy. Kanye posted the album cover himself on twitter.

On his twitter page, he also tweeted these:

“In the 70s album covers had actual nudity… It’s so funny that people forget that… Everything has been so commercialized now.”

“So Nirvana can have a naked human being on they cover but I can’t have a PAINTING of a monster with no arms and a polka dot tail and wings”

While the cover maybe a bit too racy, Kanye haters. I’m going to have side with him on this one. Kanye is so right. Nudity with album covers have been happening for YEARS since the 70’s. Album covers had nudity that weren’t paintings either. The Nirvana album cover Kanye was reffering to, was the album cover for, “Nevermind”, the naked baby in the swimming pool. Also, John Lennon and Yoko Ono even did some nude photo art for albums as well.

Take a look at this list. Those are all albums that had nudity. David Bowie had himself naked as a painting for the album cover, “Diamond Dogs”. The Blind Faith album cover had a naked woman on it as a painting holding a airplane, remember that one?

Kanye’s album cover is not that big of a deal, in my opinion, so it deserves to be published for the album cover. Kanye’s in the right, this time.

Kev

Edit to add: Oh yeah, another album cover I forgot to mention is Janet Jackson’s, fifth album “Janet” made in 1993. Remember that one, folks? That album cover had her on it, she was topless, no bra or anything, but she had a guy behind her holding her boobs. That cover was a bit racy but it got published anyway.
