Report: “Donnie Darko” sequel is in the works…

Leave a comment

A sequel to the 2001 movie “Donnie Darko” starring Jake Gyllenhaal is being made. The sequel will be titled “S. Darko”. Fox studios has already won the North American rights for this film. Daviegh Chase reprises her role as Donnie’s younger sister. The film will be directed by Chris Fisher and will be about a $10 million budget film.

The film picks up from where it left off in the first one where Donnie’s sister is now a full grown adult, and she goes on a road trip with her best friend where they are trapped in bizzare visions similar to the first one.

Donnie Darko is not in the new film but there will be rabbits. Jake Gyllenhaal will not reprise his role for obvious reasons but it would be nice to see flashbacks of Gylenhaal’s character.

Filming is scheduled to begin May 18th…

Well, the first “Donnie Darko” did kind of leave open a sequel, there were plenty of unanswered questions that needs some explaining for the ending of the first one.

I’d say bring on the sequel! I’m interested in seeing how they will continue this creative story. I loved the first one.

Report: Stallone blames Myanmar junta for the cyclone deaths…

Leave a comment

Sylvester Stallone finally got the chance to speak out his thoughts on the cyclone disaster that hit the country of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) which killed over 20,000 people and death toll is still rising. While promoting his new movie “Rambo” in Tokyo, Japan as you read this, Sly says that it’s the Myanmar junta and the goverment’s fault for all those deaths. Since before the cyclone hit, Myanmar is a country known for the governement and the Burmese armies being abusive and treating Myanmar civilians like slaves, it’s been like that for years in Myanmar and still is to this day.

Sly believes the reason for the deaths is just Myanmar government’s way of suffering the civilians some more by being unprepared for the cyclone.

More on it here:

I actually agree with Sly. Myanmar is a strict country. If the Myanmar government actually cared for their people, they would allow them to prepare to save lives from the cyclone and all those people would have been alive now. It’s obvious the Myanmar government doesn’t care for their own people. Myanmar goverment are very evil, hateful and spiteful people.

It’s a good thing Sly and the cast and crew of “Rambo” left filming before the cyclone hit, Sly and everyone else would have been dead too as you all know, “Rambo” was filmed directly on the borders between Myanmar and Thailand.

 Edit to add: Here’s a video of it where Sly says all that from the mouth himself…

Leave a comment

Ac/Dc frontman Brian Johnson finally came out of hiding after all these years and was interviewed a radiostation called WMGK 102.9, not sure where the radiostation is from.

In the interview they talk about Ac/Dc working on the new album of course, no album title has been decided yet. Brian talks about that Angus is hard to recognize when he’s not in the schoolboy suit. Brian admits that Angus is a very shy and quiet man, gets real nervous when performing on stage. During the bands break, Brian admits this is the longest Ac/Dc has ever been out of music.  Brian says he’s been working on music and writing songs with other bands people don’t know about on the bands hiatus, he’s also wrote 3 songs for a movie that he and a comedian friend worked on, plus Brian says he’s just having fun and enjoying life while Ac/Dc is on a hiatus.

Watch the youtube clip to hear this entertaining interview! Good to have you back Brian!

Leave a comment

After a day of being arrested for trying to stop rush hour traffic in New York City of protesting, Al Sharpton is planning another one. Charlie King the director of Sharpton’s National Action Network says the first protest was only the beggining and is about to get worse.

The Associated Press Reports:

It’s great to see that Al Sharpton is not giving up. He’s willing to take risks, he won’t care if he gets arrested again and again and again and again until justice is sought against the three cops who killed Sean Bell.

I used to hate Al Sharpton but I’m starting to respect the dude for this, he got my support now.

Keep up the great work Rev. Sharpton, you should be considered a hero now!

She got really good lawyers to put her own number one fan in jail, she’ll get out of this one too.

Report: Madonna “Sticky and Sweet” tour listings unleashed…

Leave a comment

Here it is, straight from her official website:

https://tickets.madonna.com/

As predicted, Madonna think she is too big and famous for Albany and Saratoga, but you gotta give credit for Neil Diamond willing to play Albany though.

Madonna will be playing two dates at Madison Square Garden so that’s the closest that New Yorkers will try to get a chance to see her live in person.

Would I go see her live? Probably not. I do like Madonna a lot but not enough to go see her in concert or start buying her albums. I do enjoy listening to her music ocassionally though.
