Way to go Dan! Kick CBS’s ass! I’m rooting for Dan to win this all the way. I’ll be keeping an eye on this news.

Dave Mustaine admitted in the Megadeth official forums that the band never had a no. 1 record in the Billboard and his goal with the next record is that he wants it to be no. 1. After just releasing the latest Megadeth album “United Abominations” in 2007 (which that album kicks hella ass by the way), Megadeth is preparing to work in the studio on their next record while the band is just finishing their tour.

Dave is an amazing musician and an excellent songwriter. I’m glad he is preparing for another Megadeth album this soon, but do you think it’ll be no. 1?
I don’t know, I’ll have to wait to hear the album first and then I’ll judge. Their last record “United Abominations” was amazing.
Megadeth shouldn’t be obsessed with making a no. 1 record when they should concentrate on making great music for their fans. Just shows that Dave Mustaine still have a huge ego in him and he’s clearly competing with Metallica, big time. That’s the whole point of Dave forming Megadeth to begin with to compete with Metallica.

Los Angeles-based Harbor Light Entertainment and Tokyo-based Lotus have just greenlighted to get Akira Kurosawa’s film “Rashomon” remade. Harbor Light announced a remake of “Rashomon” way back in 2001 but have been fighting to get the remake greenlighted. Today they finally made the film a “go”.
Akira Kurosawa’s “Rashomon” is a Japanese movie made in 1950 that stars Toshiro Mifune who starred the leading role in many of Kurosawa movies. The story is a crime drama, about a family man who is murdered and his wife raped. There are 4 witnesses with each witness telling their side of the story.
The remake is aiming for an American version of the film.

I have seen “Rashomon” a few times before and it’s a very good flick.
I see the remake of the American version being more obscene, with more nudity and lots of profanity.
I won’t judge the remake this soon, but hope they make it a good one.

Brad Pitt is not the only one supporting gay marriage being legal in California and trying to fight back at Prop 8, you can now add Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw to the list. Proposition 8 is on the attack to get gay marriage banned again in California. Hollywood celebrities are fighting back at them to stop them. Spielberg and Capshaw donated $100,000, Brad Pitt already donated the same amount of money last week to the campaign. Spielberg says every gay men and women deserve the right for marriage, and calls it discrimination if it wasn’t allowed.

Kudos, glad that Hollywood is fighting back. Every human being deserves to be treated equal whether you agree with their sex life or not.

Janet Jackson has quit her record label Island Def Jam records after being part of the label’s roster for 14 months. She released her new album “Discipline” through it. The reason for her departure of the label? She’s blaming the label for the bombing of her new album. Accusing them of not promoting it hard enough.
Billboard reports:

Oh Janet, you shouldn’t blame the record label because of your failed album. The label marketed the album pretty heavily from what I’ve seen. The only reason the new album bombed in record sales and no one bought it is because Janet Jackson sucks and have no talent. Janet’s musical comeback failed. People don’t care for Janet Jackson anymore. She’s an ego driven pop star who think she’ll be successful at everything just because she’s the real life sister of Michael. She should have never came back to music and just retire. Island Def Jam should just sue her ass for her accusations.

Because it’s kind of hard posting about every detail of the trial in the blog. I’ve been reading about the trial and following it everyday. I’m just going to wait until the final verdict on whether’s he’s guilty or not. Then I’ll post my final thoughts of the trial. I’m still predicting that Simpson is going to get acquitted.
He’s been giving a large number of charges. I am predicting Simpson will be guilty of a few charges but he will be convicted on smaller charges, like maybe get probation or something, that’s about it. I’d like to see him go to prison for life, but I don’t see it happening. I am predicting he will get convicted on a smaller charge like “harrasment” or something. But not for robbery.

Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters is my pick to induct Metallica into the Hall of Fame. It is probably the most likely pick.
I had others in mind like Pat Boone, Ozzy Osbourne, Rick Rubin, Jason Newsted, Dave Mustaine, etc. Yep, I had Mustaine in mind but then I figure Metallica wouldn’t want Dave to induct them. I’m sure Mustaine would go for it if he was asked but since the two have been feuding for over 20 years, I don’t think that’s what Metallica would want.
I’m betting my money that Dave Grohl would probably be the most likely choice.
Anyone else out there have any other choices?

Ac/Dc uploaded another new song from their new album “Black Ice”. The new song is titled “War Machine”.
Listen to it here at the band’s official site:
My thoughts?
It fucking rocks! Definitely better than “Rock N’ Roll Train”!!! In “War Machine” Brian Johnson sounds almost exactly like Bon Scott when he’s singing! How fuckin’ cool is that! Yeah!
I’m really looking forward to “Black Ice” now!

Nic Cage must be finished with the filming of “Bad Lieutenant” if he’s going to start filming “The Witch” soon.
Let me guess, Angelina Jolie might be the Witch? Wouldn’t surpirse me if Sena got her again too.
