Report: Kyle Chandler gets a huge movie role to star the lead in a JJ Abrams flick, “Super 8”!!!!
“Friday Night Lights” star, Kyle Chandler has landed a huge role for JJ Abrams new upcoming film, “Super 8”. Also signed to the movie is teen star, Elle Fanning. Is Kyle playing Elle’s Dad in the film? That’s what it’s looking like.
See the article here.
Kyle has done movies other than “Friday Night Lights”, but Kyle never had any huge movie roles. With him doing FNL, will help make his movie career bigger. Congrats Kyle! Now I’m really looking forward to this movie. Kyle in a sci-fi movie, yeah! Can’t wait!

Report: “Pinocchio” finds his writer for Warner Bros…
Hollywood is going to give the live action, “Pinocchio” another try, and it will be brought to us by Warner Bros. studios. WB’s hired their writer for the live action, “Pinocchio”. That writer is, Bryan Fuller.
Pinocchio, is one of my favorite movies ever made. The first time they tried it live action was the 1996 movie that starred, Jonathan Taylor Thomas. That movie failed in the box office. I’ve seen that version and it did suck hard. It was a big mess.
The Disney animated, “Pinocchio” is such a classic, that it doesn’t need to be live action, in my opinion. If it failed with the Jonathan Taylor Thomas version, Warner Bros. will fail with this one too. A live action, “Pinocchio” will be very difficult to make. You’ve seen the animated one, haven’t ya? Will Warner Bros. version be all live action? Obviously not. They will make a lot of it, CGI.
They’ll make Jimminy Cricket, CGI. They’ll make Monstro the Whale, CGI. The Blue Fairy will be CGI. What about that song “Wish you Upon a Star” that Jimminy sings? WB’s may have to get the rights from “Disney” for the songs that were sung from the original animated film. I’m sorry but this film will probably suck. WB’s wasting their time and money.

Thought: What kind of film will the “Freddie Mercury” biopic be? Will it be a comedy or a serious drama?
Sacha Baron Cohen has always been known for shocking and controversial humor in his flicks. Will he have that again for his next, “Freddie Mercury” movie? I don’t know. I think the “Freddie Mercury” biopic will be more on the serious side then humor. Maybe that’s why Sacha signed on to the role? He wanted to do something new and different besides comedy. There will obviously be some humor in this biopic film since Freddie was a very weird and humorous guy, but there won’t be any of that shock factor that Sacha is known for. Freddie was known for his shock factor live performances with Queen, I think that’s why the film makers wanted him.
This will give Sacha an opportunity to really show his acting talent other than the comedy genre. I’m seeing this movie to be very emotional and sad. Can you see Sacha giving a powerful performance for Freddie’s death scene?Before Freddie’s death, on his last days, he wanted to help the world with AIDS awareness, I can see the film concentrating on that. The funeral will be interesting, Elton John and David Bowie may have to make cameos ’cause they were there at Freddie’s funeral.
The film will start from the beginning, at his childhood to his death like most biopic films are like that. It might focus on his relationship with Mary Austin, Freddie’s first true love, then it will probably go onto his bi-sexual days. If you watch Freddie Mercury’s older interviews and seen the film, “Borat”, you can see the similarities between both of them.
Sacha is going to nail this performance. I think he will perform Freddie Mercury perfectly. Like I said, I think this film will show a different side of Sacha. It will be nothing like Borat or Bruno at all. I’m sure Sacha will be working closely with Brian May and Freddie’s family members, I’m sure Sacha will work with Mary Austin as well, to learn more about Freddie’s history and personality. I’m glad Sacha got this opportunity. Here’s hoping for an Oscar award for Best Actor.

Report: Undertaker vs. Kane match is making it in national sports news!
See the picture above? That’s Undertaker and Kane at the Times Union Center when they were just here for “Smackdown” in Albany, last month. 🙂 This Undertaker vs. Kane match at “Night of the Champions” ppv is getting huge in national sports news. Usually WWE never makes the sports news since they are entertainment wrestling, but when it comes to the Undertaker and Kane, it gets huge in sports for some reason. Now you understand why WWE have these two feud against each other all the time? Yes, that’s right, it’s marketing ploy. There is something about the sports world that likes Undertaker and Kane.
Glenn Jacobs, aka Kane, speaks with the NY Daily news about the upcoming ppv, this Sunday. Read it here.
In the past, everytime Kane became world champion, he never got to hold the belt long and he loses it the next week after. This is the longest Kane had the belt ever.
Everybody thinks Undertaker will become the new WWE Champion and win, but I don’t know. I’m predicting Kane will win and will retain. I think Kane will have a really long title run. Will I watch the ppv this Sunday? I don’t know. I’m thinking about it. Maybe. If I won’t be watching it, I’ll be reading the live results online.
I have a feeling Triple H may make a surprise return at the ppv, and the RAW anonymous GM might be revealed as well. Who knows.

Brock misses rockin’ out in the music scene…
Yep, I really miss it. Starting to miss rocking out in the music scene. I did it around 2006-2008. I remember my last gig too. It was on May 31st, 2008 @ Positively 4th Street. I have that entire performance in my youtube channel. I miss putting together my own shows and sharing the stage with other solo acoustic acts, and I’ve opened for plenty of full bands around the area too. It was a great ride. I want to experience that ride again. I need to get back out there, badly. I had a hand in helping new and upcoming musicians to get their start playing out there. I helped my cousin’s band, Joe Nacco, Rob Skane, flakjacket, C.E. Skidmore, Katie Haverly, Steve Grogan, etc. the list goes on. I remember those days. Sure, I had my ups and downs when playing out in the music scene, but every band out there experiences ups & downs. So I’m learning not to take it all seriously. I didn’t get nothing in return for helping the music scene but you know what? I’m cool with that. I just liked helping out other musicians, meeting other musicians and to help promote their music as well. It’s just what I liked to do. It was my clever way to promote my own music.
I’ll get back out there at some point. I need to have a new demo ready with new songs to promote out there first. I hope to make an official album one of these days too, with an actual CD cover and all that. I took a long hiatus from music to improve my guitar playing and get better at songwriting. I’m serious in getting my own band someday and it will happen. It’ll be just a three piece. Drummer, bass, and me on guitar/vocals, I will be the lead guitarist too. That’s my plan. Haven’t came up with a band name yet, but when I do, I’m going to trademark it before I get it out there. Trademarking your band name is very important which a lot of bands around here forget to do. They think they can go out there and not trademark your stuff, thinking that no one else will steal your band name. It can happen or worse, what if some other band already have that name you picked? You could get sued by that band, you don’t want that, do ya?
I want to experience rockin’ out clubs with a full band. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long long time. Not sure when will I start auditioning though. I want to have some new original songs to rehearse with first, then I’ll start auditioning. I have a vision that I want this band to be super tight, a Led Zep kind of thing. Yes, there will probably be long 10-20 minute jams for one song ’cause I probably going to want to jam like that.
I’m not looking to be big and popular, I just want to rock out and enjoy myself!

Thought: So what do I think about the Bethany Storro acid attack being a hoax???
Some of you may wonder what my thoughts are on the, Bethany Storro, acid attack hoax. So why did this woman make it up? Well, she’s probably some messed up bitch aka, a whack job. She probably did it for fame, nothing more. Maybe she thought she would get a reality show out of this or something?
It seems that everybody is after fame these days and people are doing whatever it takes to get fame, even if it’s something crazy as this. She should be put away in the mental institution.

Many legendary bands are starting to re-issue their classic albums, but Sir Paul McCartney haven’t done that yet. Paul plans to re-issue his entire discography in his solo career, he will start with “Band on the Run”.

Wonder what took Paul so long to realize that he hasn’t re-issued any of his albums yet? It’s about time, man!

Cool Video: Matt Hardy videoblogs to squash rumours that he’s been sent home from England…
WWE Superstar Matt Hardy took to his youtube page to squash rumours that he’s been sent home from England. He makes a video to prove that it’s not true, he’s still in England. I have noticed that Matt Hardy has been away from WWE, taking some time off again.
Watch this hilarious video. Matt is a bit of a whack job in real life, the way he is on TV.

Thought: Brock doesn’t think Steven Tyler is judge for American Idol…
So two new American Idol judges will be announced this coming Wednesday. We all know Jennifer Lopez is going to be one of them. Even though Steven Tyler kept reportedly saying he’s confirmed, there hasn’t been anything official on Steven yet. I don’t know if Steven is going to be the judge, because I think Joe Perry and the guys in Aerosmith are trying to talk him out of it. Why? Because if Steven joins American Idol, that would take his time away from, Aerosmith. I’m pretty sure Steven’s not going to be judge, 100% sure of it. It will be someone else instead of Steven. If Steven was signed as American Idol judge, it would have already been announced earlier this week. Steven needs to concentrate on Aerosmith, that’s where he belongs. A.I. is not for Steven, that’s not where he needs to be.
If I’m wrong that Steven is going to be announced as judge Wednesday, then my bad, but I’m pretty sure I’m right on this too. If it is Steven, I would never support him and Aerosmith again. Seriously.
