The movie, “Oculus” was surprisingly really good…

If you wanna watch a pretty cool supernatural ghost story for Halloween night, “Oculus” would be perfect for that. This was surprisingly a great film. Finally watched it last night. The film stars, Karen Gillan who is most famous for playing in “Dr. Who” the sidekick for Matt Smith.

“Oculus” was actually pretty creepy and scary a little bit. I thought the script was well written and the film was unpredictable too. Not bad for a film that was produced by WWE Studios. I was quite surprised with the film when I watched it last night. Most new horror films have been garbage as of late but finally we get a decent one.

You should definitely check this one out if you haven’t yet. So far, this is the best horror films of this year.

Your Thought For The Day: How to Deal with negative people… Joel Osteen gives the best advice…

I’m not a big fan of Joel Osteen. You’ve probably heard of the guy. This guy is everywhere. When you walk into a bookstore, chances are you’re gonna see a book of his on the shelf. When you’re in facebook, chances are you’re gonna see people re-sharing his posts.

Even though I’m not a big fan of Joel Osteen, this is a great post and one of the best things he have said. I agree with it.

I get people saying negative things about me all of the time. No matter what you do. No matter what you say, people will always have something negative to say about you. Best thing to do is ignore it all. Thank them for it and take it as a compliment. Be flattered for all the hate. I gotta learn to have a thick skin. I have been learning over the years as you can see and getting better at it. I’m always gonna have haters.

Like I said in a post before, when you’re having people talking all kinds of shit about you, there’s gotta be something special about you that they don’t like. They gotta be jealous of something.

Some of you may ask, why do people get so obsessed with talking shit about me??? In my opinion, I think it’s either my popular web presence, my music or my fitness physique. Maybe a combination of all three??? It’s gotta be something. I don’t know what it is but when you get people attacking you it isn’t because you’re a bad person. You probably are a good person… it’s just that you can’t please everyone, ya know???

You gotta ignore this stuff as best as possible. Live life the way you want to, be yourself and keep pissing people off. You don’t have to be how they want you to be.

When people say negative and opinionated things about you, just don’t respond to it and smile anyway.

I’m always gonna get people attacking me in social networking, youtube and in this blog. I just delete the comment and ignore it. Responding to personal attacks and negativity is just giving them more attention they don’t deserve and it’s gonna make them feel victorious. You gotta have a thick skin and be above the hate.

If so many people are talking about you good or bad… like I said, you’re on the right track… that’s right where you wanna be.

Gwyneth Paltrow is proof that liberals still worship Obama…

Surprise! Surprise! Another idiot liberal celebrity who thinks there is nothing wrong with Obama. Ben Affleck defended Islam and now we have Gwyneth Paltrow masturbating over Obama. This is more proof that Hollywood is more liberal than ever. I think she’s just looking for attention. Chris Martin of Coldplay did a good thing divorcing this stupid woman. Chris won’t get into details of their divorce but I think it’s because she’s probably a huge pain in the neck and he’s fed up with her.

Gwyneth has always been annoying.

The hypocrisy of liberals is just funny. I hate how the left have opposite views of the right when it comes to political leaders. The left all view George W. Bush as corrupt and evil… yet they don’t wanna look at Obama as the same. It’s all just pathetic really.

More proof that liberalism is a disease.

Ernie Hudson was correct… fans don’t wanna see the “Ghostbusters” all-female reboot…

When you look at feedback from the fans of the new “Ghostbusters” all-female reboot through facebook, blogs and movie forums… you read comments from fans about the new film… you’ll notice immediately that the criticism toward the “Ghostbusters” re-boot is mostly negative. I’m not seeing too much positive feedback at all. Most every response by a user is a negative comment aimed at the new film. This means that Ernie Hudson was correct… fans don’t wanna see it. This is something the fans don’t wanna see.

What the fans originally wanted to see was a third continuation. A third film adding to the trilogy with the 4 original Ghostbusters: Peter, Ray, Egon and Winston. Since Harold Ramis died earlier this year, it’s impossible to make a Ghostbusters reunion happen now.

With all of this negative feedback Sony have gotten over the new Ghostbusters re-boot… Sony doesn’t care. They’re not listening to the fans and Sony is moving ahead with it anyway. So far nobody likes the idea of an all female re-boot. Even women are trashing the all-female idea and female fans want the Ghostbusters to stay as male.

My question is, why was Sony quick on changing the storyline direction to all-female re-boot? Dan Aykroyd originally wanted this to be a continuation of the first two films. So Sony approached Paul Feig to direct in which Paul’s previous films are mostly chick flicks. Paul Feig is obsessed with this all-female thing. Paul gave Sony the idea that he wanted Ghostbusters to be all female… Sony and Dan Aykroyd must of agreed with him. Instead of giving what the fans want, they instead do things that pleases themselves.

As you can see, it’s very difficult and challenging to make a good “Ghostbusters” movie in this day and age. Very hard to pull off. The original Ghostbusters are aging, one of ’em died and the others don’t really wanna do it well except for Dan Aykroyd, he’s the only one that he’s game for it of course ’cause this is his movie.

The thing is, everyone just wants it to be a “true” Ghostbusters movie. The all-female thing is not true Ghostbusters… that’s what everyone is complaining about and I hear them. At first I thought it was a good idea but after thinking about it, I thought to myself… “Eh, maybe they’re right, the all female thing is kind of silly”. They’re just desperate for a box office hit.

Dan is the one who started this project. He’s the who got it going and got everyone together to make it happen. I wish Harold Ramis didn’t die. If he was still here, he would’ve stopped the all-female thing from happening and he would have done what it took to make Ghostbusters fans happy.

Another reason we don’t want this to be a “re-boot” is ’cause there are too many reboots in Hollywood and we’re sick of ’em. We just don’t want this happening to Ghostbusters since the Ghostbusters are considered important classics especially the first one. I can understand why everyone is complaining.

Since Harold died and Bill Murray wants no part of it, Sony should really leave this alone and throw this project in the trash but nope. Sony is committed to this project obviously.

I think it’s interesting of how much controversy that comes out of making the new Ghostbusters. I’m sure Dan Aykroyd will explain more and defend the project when he starts doing interviews again. We’ll soon learn more about the changes of this project.

Fans wanna see a good Ghostbusters movie, that’s all we pretty much want. Come on Dan, speak up and give us some answers!!!

I’m a new fan of the band, Yes… they are pretty amazing…

How come the band Yes isn’t in the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame when they should have been a long time ago? I finally got around to listening to their two albums I got for the Ipod. The albums titled, “Fragile” and their new album, “Heaven and Earth”. I thought both were amazing masterpieces. I was blown away with both of these albums and it makes me want to get more of their music.

This band is so underrated. The only people who would know who they are are musicians mostly. They are one of those bands that you wouldn’t know that they are still around playing music.

I think Steve Howe is a genius guitar player and Jon Davison is an awesome vocalist. I’m a huge fan of prog rock. I love all prog rock music like Rush, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Tool, etc. I just like long songs and improvised jams. That’s what these bands do.

Yes is a pretty incredible band and underrated… I’ll probably get more of their albums in the future. You should check them out too if you don’t know much about this band. I’m sure most people only know them for their “Fragile” album which is a masterpiece but I’m planning on listening to more of their music.

Their latest album “Heaven and Earth” that they put out earlier this year is killer too. In fact, “Heaven and Earth” is one of the best albums of this year, pretty high up there. At least somewhere in the top 5. You wanna listen to some real music? Listen to some, Yes. There’s some real music for ya.

Jimmy Page talks about how he wrote, “Stairway” w/ Led Zeppelin…

Check out this nice video of Jimmy Page himself talking about how he wrote the Led Zep anthem, “Stairway” with the band. Jimmy is sitting in a chair while he plays the song on vinyl and he talks about how the band wrote it together. Jimmy wasn’t the only writer for the song, “Stairway”. Each member had their own contributions to the song.

You can tell that Jimmy is very proud of the song as he sits there and listens to it.

Ernie Hudson slams “Ghostbusters” re-boot… he says making it all female is not “Ghostbusters”…

Welp… look like we aren’t gonna see Winston Zeddemore in the new “Ghostbusters” ’cause the actor who plays the character doesn’t agree with the all-female Ghostbusters idea. Click the article above and read what have to say. He makes a lot of sense, I guess.

In my opinion, it isn’t Ghostbusters without the 4 original characters: Ray, Peter, Egon and Winston. Ray is probably gonna be in the new film in some form but if the other guys aren’t, then why call it Ghostbusters, ya know?

I can’t see Ghostbusters being good without Ivan Reitman helming it. I don’t think Paul has what it takes to put horror and comedy together.

I was on board of a new film until Harold died. After Harold died, I thought to myself, “A Ghostbusters film cannot be good without Harold being involved so they might as well trash the project”… of course, they didn’t. I’m predicting a box office bomber with this film… nobody’s gonna see this.

Bill Murray said an all-female Ghostbuster film is a good idea but Ernie decided to have some balls and have a different opinion on it. Kudos to Ernie for keeping it real!!! \m/

Jimmy Page warns fans that his new solo album will be nothing like Led Zeppelin…

Jimmy Page is planning to release a new solo album soon; however, he warns fans that his next album is not gonna be Led Zep-like. Probably meaning that the album will not be hard rock. He’s probably saying that there won’t be any Led Zep-like riffs and ripping solos. Jimmy hasn’t released that much solo material over the years. The only solo album he did was “Outrider” back in 1988. After Led Zep, he mostly did other side projects with Robert Plant and other bands/artists over the years.

I’m all for anything Jimmy Page. Whatever he’ll come up with musically, I’m sure it’ll be amazing stuff even if it won’t be that heavy Led Zep-like kind of music. Jimmy sound like he’s getting bored with that and wants try something different. I’m looking forward to JImmy’s new solo album no matter what kind of music he puts on it.

I’m sure fans won’t leave him alone on the Led Zep reunion but he’s a musician and songwriter himself. He’s gotta move on to other things. He wants to make his own music and go forward.

2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominations announced…

Finally, Stevie Ray Vaughn got a nomination. If he gets ignored for an induction, then I think I will be boycotting the Hall of Fame. SRV should have got an induction a long time ago.

You can only vote for 5 so I’m gonna vote for: SRV, Lou Reed, The Smiths, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts and War. I think they are definitely worthy!

http://rockhall.com/voting/2015-rock-hall-nominees-fan-vote/

So far SRV, Green Day and NIN are in the lead, though. Which doesn’t surprise me.

Some of you may ask, why did Green Day get the nomination? In order to be eligible a band/artist must have their first album that was released 25 years before. Welp, Green Day’s first album was released in 1990 so the album will hit 25 years in 2015 so that makes the band officially eligible. It may not seem like it but Green Day have been in the music business for years. I used to like Green Day, just not anymore. All they play is power chords and Billie Joe’s singing is amateur at best.

I don’t agree with Green Day getting inducted this soon when there are tons of other rock acts that are more deserving of a nomination like: Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Ted Nugent, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Yes, etc.

I wasn’t much of NIN fails either and I think it’s too soon for them.

I can now understand why people call this, “The Rock and Roll Hall of Shame” ’cause it’s true.

Paul Feig talks more on “Ghostbusters” re-boot…

Originally, Dan Aykroyd visioned this movie as a continuation of some sort, leaving off from where “Ghosbusters II” ended. Dan’s original idea was that he wanted new recruits for the new Ghostbusters… 3 new young males and 1 female being trained by the 4 original Ghostbusters (Ray, Peter, Winston and Egon). Since Harold Ramis passed away, Ivan Reitman stepped down from directing and Bill Murray finally saying “No”… the creative direction spiraled out of control and the story had to make some changes.

After Sony approached director Paul Feig, Paul gave them the idea that he wanted the Ghostbusters to be all female and Sony agreed with the idea.

Paul explains that this new movie is a complete reboot. A new origin story. It will not have anything to do with the previous Ghostbusters films at all. Kind of like “Man of Steel” not having anything to do with the earlier Superman films. Paul doesn’t explain the plot to the new Ghostbusters, he’s keeping it under wraps for now but he does give us some of his ideas a little bit.

Am I the only one who haven’t seen “Bridesmaids” or “The Heat”? I’m not a chick flick kind of guy so I’d probably stay away from these movies and from what I’ve seen both of those movies got mixed reviews.

Even though I am losing interest in the new “Ghostbusters” film, I still hope we get a Louis Tully cameo. Rick Moranis coming back for a short role would be awesome. Seeing the new “Ghostbusters” film for Louis Tully alone would be worth it!!! If Louis Tully comes back that would be good enough to be in line for it.

I’m still betting my money that Melissa McCarthy is gonna be the first one to get casted.
