Joaquin Phoenix will play the Joker in the Joker’s first standalone live-action film…

Leave a comment

This is interesting. Joaquin Phoenix looks like he will be playing the Joker in the first ever Joker live-action movie which will be co-written and directed by Todd Phillips. Joaquin is not confirmed for the role yet but he is the top choice to play the Joker and he has agreed to the role. It will probably happen.

The idea for the movie that it will take place in the 80’s and it will be more of a gritty crime-drama than a typical superhero film.

I’m sure many are thinking Joaquin Phoenix is a terrible choice but honestly, I think he’s going to do a great job and knock it out of the park. Joaquin is a terrific actor… he’s one of my favorites actually. He has done so many phenomenal movies. Joaquin can play anything that throws at him.

I think Joaquin will play the Joker quite well… however, the question you all have to ask is… will Joaquin be able to do the Joker laugh? Joaquin will have to do that laugh for that movie and I think Joaquin will learn how and practice to get it right. I think Joaquin will do the Joker laugh quite well.

It would be cool if Mark Hamill would play a live-action Joker but it will never happen ’cause Hamill is 66 years old now. He’s too old to play the Joker in a live-action set. I may not like Hamill being anti-Trump but I still think he does a good job voicing the Joker, though, no doubt.

I’m glad Joker is finally getting his own movie too and hopefully Harley Quinn will be in it and she probably will be. Write Harley Quinn in the movie and I’m sure even more people would see it ’cause Harley Quinn is a very popular character.

It’s going to be interesting to see what Joaquin is going to look like in Joker make-up and in full costume. This is gonna be a Joker standalone film and origin story. I don’t think Batman will be in it at all, although, it’s possible that Batman will get mentioned in it.

Quincy Jones is a rich liberal nutjob who is narcissistic himself, don’t believe anything he says…

Leave a comment

Out of curiosity, I’ve decided to read the full Quincy Jones interview at Vulture for myself since this article sent twitter into a frenzy. I can see why ’cause there are a lot of crazy shit in it. What kind of crazy shit?

Well lets see here… Quincy saying that the Beatles were horrible and couldn’t play. Talks trash about Michael Jackson and accuses him stealing songs. Talks trash about Donald Trump and accuses him of starting racism in America and claims to have dated Ivanka. This guy also thinks he knows who the real killer of JFK is and reveals the alleged killers name.

This guy even goes as far as trying to out Richard Pryor and Marlon Brando as homosexuals.

Read this interview for yourself here…

http://www.vulture.com/2018/02/quincy-jones-in-conversation.html

Wow! What a fucking asshole and a liberal nutjob! It’s a shame he would try and make Michael Jackson look bad… I mean, didn’t they used to be brothers like best friends or something?

It’s also funny that he would talk trash about the Beatles like that and I’m sure many Beatles fans are upset with him now.

I’m sure the Trump family aren’t  happy with Quincy making claims about him dating Ivanka… hopefully Ivanka herself will shoot that claim down ’cause that would be funny.

What’s even more disturbing is that Quincy is trying to out Richard Pryor and Marlon Brando as homosexuals… Quincy even made wild claims about Pryor and Brando slept with each other! Yes, Pryor’s widow may have confirmed it’s true but that doesn’t make it true either. Quincy and Pryor’s widow could be out for more attention it looks like. I think the rumors of Pryor and Brando being gay are all bullshit. Not true at all.

Quincy is just a rich buffoon who sits in his mansion trying to think of ways how to get more attention for himself. I don’t care how famous and legendary Quincy is… no doubt the guy is an asshole in real life. Not all famous people are good people. The world of fame is crazy.  You’ll meet a lot of egos and narcissists out there for sure. Quincy is one of them. It’s hilarious that Quincy calls Trump a narcissist when he should look in the mirror.

Quincy is a douchebag and I hope I’m not the only one that thinks so. He just thinks that being rich and famous makes him entitled to say whatever he wants. That is all.

Now that HBO Game of Thrones will be ending at Season 8, the series creators will be moving on to Star Wars next…

Leave a comment

Well this is interesting. The creators of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” David Benioff and DB Weiss brought us the hit TV series, now we know what they’ll be up to next since they are ending the series at Season 8 next year. Looks like the two GOT creators will be moving on to write a new Star Wars series ’cause Lucasfilm hired them to do just that.

http://www.starwars.com/news/game-of-thrones-creators-david-benioff-and-d-b-weiss-to-write-and-produce-a-new-series-of-star-wars-films

Game of Thrones writers doing Star Wars… does that now mean the new series will be R rated? Also full of sex, incest scenes and killing off characters that people like? I wouldn’t be surprised…

… all joking aside, I think this is interesting, though. You can expect “Game of Thrones” stars to star in their Star Wars films. I would like to see Emilia Clarke in a Star Wars film ’cause that would be cool and Peter Dinklage would be cool too.

Now you can see why the GOT’s cast and crew wants to be done with GOT’s so they can move on to other projects and this is exactly it. These two guys Benioff and Weiss spent half of their lives working on GOT and looks like they’ll spent the next decade or so working on Star Wars.

So we got the original series still going on, SW: Rogue One, SOLO: A Star Wars movie coming this year, the new Rian Johnson SW’s trilogy been announced and now this. I know this may seem weird, but George Lucas gave Disney the permission to make as many Star Wars films as they wanted so that’s exactly what they’re doing. Some are already fed up with all this, but Star Wars is a huge universe so you can create as much stories as possible. If all the Star Wars books can do this then why can’t the movies?

I think Disney is a doing a good job with Star Wars ’cause I’m liking everything they’re doing. “Rogue One” was good and Ron Howard’s “Solo” movie looks awesome. I used to like Star Trek more than Star Wars but I’m not liking the new Star Trek movies at all. I guess, I like Star Wars a lot more than Star Trek now.

It should have been no surprise to you that Disney will be interested in the Game of Thrones creators ’cause why? Watch the “Game of Thrones” show yourself. GOT’s is like Star Wars almost. Think about it, right?

Amazing how overhyped “Fire and Fury” book is… forget that trash… get “American Pravda” instead…

Leave a comment

So I went out to Barnes and Noble earlier today ’cause I wanted to pick up “American Pravda” book by James O’ Keefe which I have in my hand as you can see here. So I decided to do a little joking around by making fun of the “Fire and Fury” book by recommending people if they want to read real news read “American Pravda” and not that “Fire and Fury” trash by Michael Wolfe.

When I walked through the Barnes and Noble doors, it didn’t surprise me to see copies of “Fire and Fury” all over the place. It took me a while to find “American Pravda” and I found several copies on a shelf at B & N.

I see all this at B & N and I’m like, “Why is American Pravda kind of hard to find in the bookstore when ‘Fire and Fury’ is all over the fucking store?”.

Yeah, it’s no secret that major bookstores are very liberal. You won’t find many pro-Trump and pro-Republican books in them. You’ll find mostly liberal books in the “Current Affairs” section. While it is appalling that you’ll mostly see anti-Trump books at a bookstore, it’s no surprise to see all that, though.

It is funny as hell how Wolfe’s “Fire and Fury” is over-hyped to death, yet it’ll be a book no one wants to read. “Fire and Fury” will quickly go to the Bargain bin just like it happened with Hillary’s, “Hard Choices”. “Fire and Fury” is tabloid trash, “American Pravda” is real.

I’ve been a long time fan of James O’ Keefe’s Project Veritas for a long while. What he’s doing is good stuff and he is waking a lot of people up. I haven’t read “American Pravda” yet but gonna get around to it soon ’cause there’s other books that I need to get to.

O’ Keefe is doing a good job exposing Fake News Media. I’m going to tweet this pic to James O’ Keefe himself and see if he’ll retweet it. I’m sure he would.

Love the new “Dundee” movie trailer… creative marketing genius too!!!

Leave a comment

I’m not watching the Superbowl at all tonight but I did happen to catch the new “Dundee” movie trailer. It’s interesting ’cause after this Superbowl ad, people thought they were tricked into thinking this isn’t a real Dundee movie but an Australian tourism ad. When you go to the Dundee movie site, it takes you to an Australian tourism site instead.

https://www.australia.com/en-us/campaigns/superbowl-dundee-movie-why-visit-australia.html

So what’s going on here? Is this a real Dundee movie or not? Yes, it absolutely is. It’s funny that so many people got tricked into thinking this isn’t a real Dundee movie when IT IS! This is the 4th installment of the series and the funny part about all this, that these trailers have sparked people wanting the return of Crocodile Dundee when this is exactly it!

Paul Hogan reprises his role as Michael J. “Crocodile” Dundee or better known as Mick ’cause as you can see Mick Dundee makes a cameo appearance in this trailer. This trailer is Dundee 4. It’s just a movie about tourism.

That’s what the first two Dundee movies were about… tourism in Australia pretty much. In the first Dundee movie, Sue goes to Australia to find Mick so she can write this story on him and then she decides to bring him to NYC. I fuckin’ love the first Dundee movie. The first one will always be a classic. The 2nd one was pretty good but I didn’t like the third one, though.

Once again, THIS IS the new Dundee film with Paul Hogan coming back… this is just very smart marketing. Trying to get a buzz going about this film and attract more attention. How much will Paul Hogan be in this new film? Will he have just a cameo or will he be in through the whole film? We’ll have to wait and see.

Of course Paul Hogan is coming back to the new Dundee film. I could have sworn a long while back Paul was talking about bringing back another Dundee film and this is it. Paul is the executive producer of the new Dundee movie.

The new Dundee movie is looking good so far and I’m looking forward to seeing it.

Local music

Greenwich is full of talented musicians but only thing, there’s no places to play in this town…

Leave a comment

Yeah, Greenwich is no doubt a pretty musical town but as the title says… there are no venues at all here. I myself have been a part of the so-called Greenwich music scene for many years.

Greenwich used to have an actual music venue which is a place that used to be called the Old Station Inn. The Old Station Inn is no longer around. It went out of business finally after all these years that has been around.

Yes, I have played Greenwich locally for a long time. Back when I was starting out playing guitar, I used to sneak into the Old Station Inn better known as the “O.S.I.” in which the town used to call it… “The OSI” which is a bar. I used to sneak into OSI on their open mic jam nights which used to be held every Thursday nights back in the day. Back then, I did whatever I could to play my music out.. Play original songs and covers…. whatever. I didn’t care if I sucked or not, I just wanted to get out there and do something. That was back when I was in my late teens… when I was 18 or 19. I was sneaking into bars to play open mic nights, haha. Those were the days,  though. I’ll never forget them.

I’ve also played open mics all over this town too over the years like at diners and restaurants. I remember once that I put myself together a gig at a Greenwich Diner years ago. It was an acoustic gig that featured acoustic artists… I’ll never forget that Livery Café gig. I’ve also played another gig at the Greenwich High School which was Songwriters Night and it was hosted by Bob Warren, I remember.

Yeah, I have been a part of the Greenwich music scene for a long time myself, but I still continue to get overlooked and seem to get underappreciated still but that’s okay. I don’t do this to become a big name anyways. I just play ’cause it’s what I do and I just do my thang, ya know?

While this article did a great job naming some well-known musicians in my hometown… they are missing out plenty of others that I can name especially Jimmy Cristaldi (who taught me how to play guitar a little bit), Green (can’t believe they get left out), Howard Gardephe, Moon Rob McGeoch, Tom Keller, Wendy Nolan and the list can go on and on.

And don’t forget, me… yours truly.

https://dailygazette.com/article/2018/02/04/musical-talent-puts-greenwich-in-spotlight

Yeah, Greenwich is full of talent but once again, no places to play here. So I can’t blame some of these guys for playing gigs else where. I did the same. When I used to play gigs, I played all over the Capital District myself.

Admittedly, I haven’t played out in a long while but that’s because I don’t really need to play out all the time. I only play out when I got something to show for it like new songs and stuff. I’ll get myself back out there at some point. I do miss performing on the stage.

The article is a great read, though.

6 music albums I bought from ITunes yesterday…

Leave a comment

So I ended up picking up some music albums from ITunes yesterday and they are pictured above.

I finally bought the Greta Van Fleet 6 song EP. Even though that album was released as a single, not really a full length… it’s still really good stuff. I’m not into today’s music much but Greta Van Fleet is one new band that I actually like a lot.

I got my own copy of Gregg Allman’s “Southern Blood” solo album which is really good stuff. This album has a mix of country, blues and rock. Even though this is Gregg’s solo music, he still sounds very much like the Allman Brothers on it.

I also got Billy Corgan’s new solo album, “Ogilala” which is beautiful stuff. The whole album is pretty mellow all the way through but still, the songs are amazing. Billy is the king at writing ballads and those songs never leave your head. I dig every song on this record and I’m gonna be listening to it a lot, I think.

I find myself listening to Iron Maiden more and more and trying to get some of their older studio albums. Maiden is becoming one of my favorite metal bands right now. They’re becoming my new obsession.

I got another Alice Cooper album ’cause I’m trying to collect his music too. I can’t stop listening to his stuff as well. Yeah, in the past I never really listened to Alice Cooper music but I think it’s time to get into him. I love Alice Cooper, his music is great shit… although so far, “Killer” is the best album I’ve heard by him.

I used to have that Grateful Dead album on CD in my music collection so I decided to get it on digital. “American Beauty” is my favorite album by the Dead. I’m trying to collect all of the Dead’s studio albums ’cause I’m a Deadhead too, believe it or not. I never saw them live before but I do enjoy listening to them. I love the Grateful Dead. Always did. Trying to get all their studio albums and then I’ll start getting their live stuff. People don’t think I’m a Grateful Dead fan but I am. Yeah, I am a huge fan of the jam band genre myself. I like the Dead, Phish, Allman Bros, etc. I dig all that stuff.

I love buying music albums. Other than playing an instrument, listening to other people’s music has always been important to me. I don’t feel guilty buying a lot of albums ’cause it’s what I do. When you’re a musician and guitar player, it’s important you should listen to as much music as possible and continue to stay inspired.

WWE

Do women deserve to main event more in the WWE? Oh yes, absolutely they do!

Leave a comment

In the wrestling community, there have been a lot of complaints from wrestling fans about the Women’s Rumble being the main event at the Royal Rumble 2018. I look at all their complaints about this and I’m like, why? I thought the Women’s Rumble was fucking awesome and entertaining as hell. I thought the ladies of WWE did a phenomenal job as I had a blast watching the Women’s Rumble matchup. The match was a mix of current female superstars and past superstars. Of course, this is gonna upset many male fans.

I thought it was a good idea to have the Women’s Rumble as the main event. It gave them an opportunity to main event like the male superstars. In my eyes, I believe that was the very first women’s main event in WWE ’cause I don’t think women has ever main evented in the WWE before. Maybe this is why some guys are pissed ’cause they aren’t used to something like this.

When Dana White finally started accepting women to fight in the UFC, of course, that’s gonna upset the male UFC fan base. It took them a while to get used to it and now it seems like they have no problem with women in UFC anymore. I mean, think about it… if UFC can have women main eventing ppvs then why can’t women do the same in WWE?

The Royal Rumble won’t be the only ppv where you’ll see the women’s division in the  main event. There will be many more ppvs coming up where you’ll see women in the main event. Honestly, I think it’s a good idea and it’s a good thing they’re doing. The women’s division is getting much bigger in WWE and getting more attention, so it’s no surprise to see that the WWE will start having women in the main event.

I do like today’s women’s division in the WWE ’cause they do true wrestling. Right now my favorite females in today’s WWE are Charlotte Flair, Asuka, Alexa Bliss and Ruby Riott. I also love Billie Kay but she’s in NXT.

They really do deserve to be in big main events ’cause why? Simply because these new women in WWE are becoming more recognizable stars and they are getting bigger. Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair are the most popular right now. Asuka is of course, very popular too.

It’s interesting how a lot of guys in the wrestling community are not happy with this new “women’s revolution” Stephanie McMahon has got going. This was actually all Triple H’s idea. He was the one who came up with the idea of women main eventing in WWE more. They do deserve the same spotlight that the male superstars gets.

Why is it that men are so hateful and negative over women these days? Jealousy is the only reason I can think of. Give the ladies a chance and don’t be so quick to judge. You’ll soon see why they deserve to main event more.

Learning to play the guitar… you don’t need to spend a lot of money on silly guitar courses…

Leave a comment

When it comes to learning how to play the guitar at any level, the internet these days is a big opportunity for pro guitarists to teach you how to play the guitar and make money off of it. There are all kinds of guitar instruction websites online where you can learn online and guitar instructors sell DVDs/books out there which I’m sure would cost a couple of hundred dollars or way more. When you want to learn how to play the guitar and improve your talent, you don’t need to do all that. You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on guitar lessons. Most of the guitar gurus online just want to make an extra buck off of ya and that’s it. So be more careful when you want to learn guitar.

You can learn how to play guitar better at very low cost and even better, you can learn how to play better guitar for “free”. How? Well, when you can’t afford money on guitar lessons by a guitar instructor whether online or in person… there are all kinds of free guitar lessons on the internet and there are all kinds of free guitar lessons in youtube. If you don’t want to spend loads of money on guitar lessons, there are all kinds of guitar magazines on the newsstands that have guitar lessons in them. There are also all kinds of affordable guitar instruction books you can buy at your local bookstores and your local guitar shops sells them too. That’s how I taught myself how to play the guitar. I learned through the internet using the free lessons, through guitar instruction books, guitar magazines like Guitar World/Guitar Player/etc.

You can also learn how to play guitar for absolutely free. Most famous guitar players like Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen and all those guys were self taught players. They learned to play the guitar by ear for the most part. They just sit there in front of their record players trying to figure out songs by ear. I learned to play like that a little bit myself. When I was younger, I would sit there in front of my stereo trying to figure out songs by ear. Playing songs by ear is not that hard at all. Just learning to play your favorite songs is another way to improve your guitar playing.

You don’t need to spend loads of money on guitar lessons when all the material they teach you… you can learn all that for free or at low cost. Like I said, be more careful out there. Too many young guitar players nowadays are too naïve and gullible that they think spending loads of money on guitar courses is good for them. It’s not. They just want to rip you off most of the time.

I’m very happy where my guitar playing is at now but I still got loads of work to do. I’m not a virtuoso yet but I do want to get there. Just taking my time and trying not to get too ahead of myself. I’ve been playing for 20 years now and I still don’t think I’m a pro player yet. I just want to play and enjoy myself. That’s all.

The FISA Memo is here… FBI and DOJ corrupt to the core like we’ve all been saying…

1 Comment

If you want to know what Nune’s FISA Memo is all about then you should read the real thing which is posted right here. Don’t read about the FISA Memo through the media and liberal social networking groups ’cause all they’re gonna to do is spin the truth and make lies about Republicans. These Democrats and lefties will never take responsibility for themselves. Each time they get caught doing something stupid, they always rush in to defend themselves like they’re doing now.

Like I said, don’t read about the Memo through the media ’cause they just want to paint a different picture and brainwash you.

Read the real thing and make your own judgements:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CXFnepvQamNJyuhSsVQazBO7p3-ZxVOL/view

I’ve read the FISA Memo twice and it’s crazy stuff. No surprise, though. We always knew that the FBI and DOJ were corrupt to the core. Now we finally have the facts to prove that. No doubt, Barack Obama messed up the FBI and DOJ. Federal law is broken now ’cause of him.

The memo shows that the FBI, DOJ, DNC, Hillary Clinton and the media all colluded with each other to try and sabotage the Trump campaign. The Steele dossier which is a group of documents that includes the already proven fake Russia collusion, but the FISA courts went ahead and approved the warrants anyways. The Memo also shows that Comey knew the information in the Steele dossier were unverified. Hillary and the DNC helped pay for the Dossier. The Steele dossier is phony, we all knew that. No evidence of the Trump/Russia collusion and the FBI knew that. They all did.

There are also other crazy stuff in the Memo too. Comey and McCabe signing away the FISA surveillance applications. There were others that signed the FISA applications too especially Sally Yates and Rod Rosenstein. Steele lying on the FISA application about not providing information to Yahoo news when he did. All the stuff with Page/Strzok plotting against Trump. All a bunch of crazy shit.

All these people involved in spying on Carter Page, Trump and the rest of the Trump campaign needs to be locked up. This is a pretty serious Federal crime and they’re all looking at years and years behind bars. Lock ’em all up… that includes Obama, Clinton and Holder. Yes, that Eric Holder. No wonder Eric Holder was freakin’ out about this on his twitter, lmao!

I’ve been saying all along for many years on my blogs that the Obama administration and the Clintons are corrupt to the core. I spent years and years trying to wake everybody up and all people did over the years was laugh at me. They just ignored me and called me nasty names like call me a conspiracy theorist and bat-shit crazy right-winger. Do you believe me now?

Obama was who the media and the left elected in office. Hillary Clinton was the one who the media and the left wanted in office in 2016. The Deep State tried to make Trump lose the election but they failed miserably obviously. They tried to control Trump but they couldn’t. They failed at that too. Even though the media beats Trump up all the time and the Democrats tried to take Trump down… Trump won the election anyways. How? It wasn’t Trump colluding with Russia that made him win… the American people made him win. We voted him in office. I’m glad the government released this Memo ’cause this affects the voters.

This is what transparency looks like. The media and the FBI tried to get Trump to redact the names but Trump wasn’t having it and released the full Memo with names and all. Trump is no Obama, haters. The left worships Obama like a King but he’s the least transparent president of all time. This is a guy who released redacted documents, seals college records, hid birth certificate and all that crap. Remember, Obama is not in office anymore. This means that Trump can release all the confidential Obama stuff from the White House any time he wants to.

Remember this historic day… 2/2/2018. Yes, this is bigger than Watergate. They all need to go prison. This is what draining the swamp looks like and Trump did exactly that today. Another campaign promise. Thanks Devin Nunes!

While Devin Nunes did a great thing for America, it’s not really him who is the hero. Who is the hero of the FISA Memo getting released finally? It’s us! The American people. We fought so hard to get the FISA Memo released and the politicians listened to us. The Trump base are the real heroes. Good job, Trump supporters! I’m proud of you all! Easy Trump re-election in 2020!
