Report: A surprising cast member is coming back for “24: Live Another Day”… who is it???

Leave a comment

Another 24 original cast member is set to return to the new “24: Live Another Day” mini-series. Mary Lynn Rajskub is set to reprise her role as Chloe O’brian. Who is she, you may ask? Well, if you’ve seen 24, she’s that weird looking woman who sits at the computer talking to Jack on the phone while he works on his missions to hunt down terrorists.

More on the story, here.

Sounds like the original “24” gang is coming back. The cast and the crew! All we need next is for Tony Almeida and Kim Bauer to return… then we’re set!

I love “24”! When I first got Netflix, “24” was the second TV show I watched on it. “LOST” was the first TV show I watched on Netflix, then all of “24”. As soon as I saw the first episode of “24”, I was completely hooked! Watched every episode and every season back to back.

I really do think this mini-series is a test for a hopeful big screen movie. I think they want to see how this new TV show will do. If it gets a lot of ratings and does well… then they’ll get to work on the big screen film that we’ve been wanting for years!

James Cameron and Avatar films…

Leave a comment

Well, it was expected that James Cameron had planned an “Avatar” trilogy but it’s now turning out that he’s doing three more “Avatar” films. So that’ll be a total of 4 “Avatar” films. I liked the first Avatar film. It was pretty good but I only watched a couple of times, I think. The story was alright but all the CGI and visual effects kind of gave me a headache. Cameron announced that he just hired the writer from the “Sarah Connor Chronicles” TV show to write the script for the sequels.

More on the story, here.

Why is he making three more Avatar films? Maybe he has more of a story to tell, I don’t know.

He is an interesting guy and a great film maker. He’s definitely one of the best but some people wonder is James a nice guy on set when working on film? From what I read from interviews of his cast mates over the years… I’ve heard he’s not such a nice guy at all. I read that he’s pretty demanding when working on film. In other words, he can be a bit of an asshole. If you make a mistake, he’ll probably scream and holler at you. If you mess up one of your lines or didn’t get a scene right, he’ll force you to do it over again until it’s perfect. Losing your temper and being demanding is worth it, though. It’s all about the “art”. If he wasn’t a demanding director then all of his movies in the past wouldn’t have been big. “Titanic” which earned him Best Picture and swept all the awards. All of his other movies such as the first two Terminators, True Lies, The Abyss, etc. They were all big money makers. Cameron maybe a bit of an asshole on set but he have to be that way in order to make his movies good. He’s a pretty serious guy. He’s doesn’t fuck around for sure! He takes his work very seriously!

I’ve noticed that Cameron likes to take a long time in between films. I guess whenever he’s ready to make a new film, when he has a new idea… he’ll get ready when he wants to.

It’ll be nice if he went back to the Terminator. It’ll be awesome if he directed the Terminator re-boot but I don’t see that happening anytime soon since it looks like he’ll spend a few decades of his life making Avatar films. Three more Avatar films is a lot of work. Will be a lot of money too. James is a rich guy. He’s made so much money from his earlier films so he can make any film he wants and when he wants. He is a master at technology and visual effects, that’s for sure. That’s one reason why I respect him so much.

Uh oh, turns out there was no “Stand Down Order” at all, says Col. Bristol!!!!

Col. Bristol testified behind closed doors to Congress yesterday and completely denied the “Stand Down Order” that was given by the president. This lie was first brought up by Congressional republicans. Col. Bristol said that military help was totally available and gave the troops permission to go and stop the attacks.

More on the story, here.

Wow! Unfucking believable! This is just crazy.

If military help was available then how come the troops didn’t go and stop the attacks when they easily could have? My guess is that the President quietly gave them the order not to. Secretly told them.

This is how politics is, people. Full of liars and untrustworthy people everywhere. You can’t believe everything they say.

Why people point the blame at Obama over the Benghazi attacks…

Leave a comment

Some mistakenly want to believe that Obama never had anything to do with the Benghazi, Sept. 11th, 2012 attacks. People who think Obama is innocent in this often why Obama is being blamed for this. Well, here’s a couple of big things…

1. He’s commander in chief. He’s in charge of the Embassy.

2. Where was President Obama during the 7 hours the place was being attacked? Right after the whole thing was over, he flies to Las Vegas.

3. He gave the stand down order. He never sent military help.

I’m sure there are tons more reasons but those are a few that I can think of at the top of my head. If it turns out that Obama didn’t order the attack and it may have been Hillary who ordered it… Obama could just be protecting her. That could be why Obama is helping to cover the attack up as  a way to protect Hillary. I too believe Hillary is largely responsible but the way I look at it, the whole attack was ordered by Obama, all the way.

My question is, if Obama is such a big target on Benghazi, why don’t he testify in the hearings for Congress? Obama is not hard to find. Why don’t Congress bring him up yet? That’s probably because there’s not enough evidence yet to bring him into questioning. I’m sure they will bring Obama in at some point but sure enough, you can very well believe he’s going to lie about everything, anyways.

I’ve read that dozens of survivors and Col. Bristol testified behind closed doors in Congress today but no reports have been reported ’cause they were private meetings. They were private meetings for a reason ’cause they didn’t want confidential information to get out to the media.

I’ve also read from a survivor who stood on top of the roof of the building for 20 hours and no medical help came.

This Benghazi story is just crazy and absolutely out of this world. It just keeps getting interesting. It’s almost to the 1st Anniversary and still no justice for the Benghazi 4. It’s just crazy, man.

If it did turn out that Obama was behind the whole thing after all and if it was proven, the internet will be all over it for days. It’ll be a media frenzy once Obama is found responsible and you can betcha he will resign from his presidency before the impeachment even happens. It sure will be a day full of entertainment once Obama is proven responsible. I can’t wait to see the reaction of his supporters and his fellow liberals. If I happen to turn out to be right that he was behind Benghazi, then look who’ll the clueless people will be then?

Obama covered his tracks pretty well on Benghazi.

If they can somehow question the person that Obama gave the stand down order to that should be good enough to show that Obama was behind it all along.

This tragedy is not gonna be left unanswered. That day on Sept. 11th, 2012, had to be pretty scary shit. I really do believe that if military help was sent over, the whole thing would have been over quickly and those 4 Americans would have survived.

Obama really is a piece of garbage. He needs life in prison and that’s what he’s gonna get when the truth comes out of Benghazi. People don’t move on from this ’cause we care. I am pretty sure Obama sat there and watched the whole thing going on. Doing a little research… the Embassy had cameras installed all over the place so Hillary and Barack had to be watching it somewhere. They were definitely not watching it in the White House. It wouldn’t surprise me if they were close by the Embassy… they weren’t far at all.

I’ve been heavily following the Benghazi story ’cause I care too. I’m looking forward to seeing how all this is going to end. It needs to end. Obama should do the smart thing. Just give up and confess to us before trouble hits him hard. It will!

Local music

People don’t go see bands who play original music?

Leave a comment

Somebody said on here that nobody goes out to see local original music anymore. Sorry, but I would have to respectfully disagree on that one. The way I’m seeing things is that original music unsigned/local has finally got the recognition and success it deserves. A lot of people are buying albums from original bands and a lot of people go to their shows. Original bands are getting quite the crowds these days! How do these original bands get people interested in their music?

There’s a few secrets to that.

1) Good songs

2) Good marketing/promotion

Those are a few keys that will get your original band a lot of success and recognition.

I have learned over the years that people will not support your music if it isn’t good. It’s sad but that’s the way it is and you have to look at reality. Why are a lot more people supporting original music these days? It’s because I would think people have grown tired of cover bands. The digital age also helps attract people to original music. Social media and all that stuff.

If you play original music and you gig out as much as possible… you don’t get much of a crowd at your shows. Why is that? Maybe it’s because your songwriting isn’t good enough. Maybe people aren’t into what you do musically. Maybe you need a lot of work on your music. Also, maybe you didn’t promote yourself well enough??? Not doing enough marketing.

A lot of original bands around here that I’ve seen have gotten very successful and became established acts. These bands play all original music only and they’ve gotten a lot of recognition… not only because their music is probably good… it’s mostly because these bands are good at marketing. They’re good at getting people out to their shows. If you’re not getting much of a crowd at your gigs… you can’t be blaming your area or the original music scene, that’s your job to get people out to your gigs.

You can’t just book a show and expect a huge crowd to show up. You need to think of better marketing/promotion skills: make flyers, get on the phone and call everyone you know, make show invites, start newsletters, use blogs/websites, etc.

A large following will definitely not fall in your lap. You want to be heard, it’s your job to get people interested in your music. You also have to make your music as best as possible if you want a large following. People will not support crap music, that’s all there is to it. If you’re having a tough time trying to get people to your shows no matter how much you promote yourself, then you have a lot work to do in your songwriting.

This is nothing against anybody, I’m only speaking from my own experiences. When I get my stuff out there, I tried to promote myself as much as possible. You may have seen it before but I have had plenty of people who refused to support me. People still do that too. They ignore my music like if it’s nothing to them. At least, I have some people who actually believe in my songwriting.

I’ll have to agree that my last batch of songs seemed a little rushed and needed more work so that’s why I’m taking my time to study and practice my craft of songwriting. I wanna get better next time around, hoping more people would enjoy my songs. I want to take songwriting a little more seriously from this point on. Take the lyrics, vocals, guitar parts, etc. all very seriously. While a lot of people try to tell me, “don’t worry about if other people don’t like your music, playing music should be for you” — I’m flattered people say these things but like all musicians, I want people to enjoy my music too! I’m trying my very best. Writing good music is hard. I do want my songwriting to be at my best and I’m trying!

The punishment Bradley Manning is about to get is the same punishment Obama should be getting…

Leave a comment

So let me get this straight?? When people expose the US Government for doing criminal acts like killing people, and all that stuff they get harsh prison sentences just for giving a good service to America??? This is bullshit but it is what it is. The irony of that is we have a Muslim President who killed 4 Americans at a US Embassy in Benghazi and killed another from the Mexican gun running scandals. Bradley Manning is about to go to prison for doing something “good” while we have a murderous madman like President Obama scot free and nothing’s done about him. Barack Obama should be getting the same punishment Bradley is getting. Spending years behind bars. If you think Obama attacking a US Embassy in Benghazi isn’t worthy of a lengthy prison sentence (w/ possible death penalty), then you’re delusional.

It’s good that Manning has been acquitted of “aiding the enemy” but he’s been found guilty for Espionage and other charges. He should have been acquitted of all charges and freed but sure enough, the defendant always seem to be the guilty one. Manning didn’t kill anybody. He wasn’t violent. All he did was expose the US government killing innocent civilians in Iraq on a helicopter. I don’t see how that’s being a traitor. Manning’s probably gonna spend the rest of his life in prison, anyways.

It’s unfair. The way politics and the justice system is right now. It seems that it’s all opinion on who’s guilty or innocent these days. He’s only guilty of telling the truth. Obama gave all his power to put Manning behind bars. Watch the US government try to go after Edward Snowden next. Sure, Edward turned himself in and wanted asylum but I can still see the Obama administration going after him too. They claim they have no plans of bringing Edward back to America but don’t be surprised if they do that anyway.

Obama should be the one who should be spending the rest of his life behind bars. You know it’s coming for him, sooner or later.

Happy 66th birthday, Arnold!!!

The first photo above is me at Arnold’s star at the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The bottom photo is me at a Hollywood wax museum. I posted these in honor of Arnold’s birthday today.

I’m tired of people knocking Arnold. Arnold deserves the respect. No matter what you think of him… love him or hate him… he didn’t get where he is today for nothing. He really did all the work to make all of his dreams come true. Bodybuilding champ, iconic movie star, and former governor of California. There is a pretty good reason why he wanted to become a famous person. First of all, he didn’t have much back when he was living in Austria and he wanted to move to the USA so he can live a better life. Secondly, he wanted to make his bodybuilding dreams come true and become the best ever which he did exactly that. Yes, he’s going to get all kinds of steroid accusations and he admitted to using them plenty of times but despite his past steroid use, Arnold was a natural.

Yeah, he made a lot of mistakes in life with his womanizing and all that stuff but that’s life. Arnold admitted to his mistakes that he cheated on Maria and he just wants to move on with his life. If you want a better understanding of Arnold Schwarzenegger, read his book, “Total Recall”. It’s a good book, and it’ll inspire you.

Most importantly, I respected Arnold for his movie career. He made so many great movies over the years like the first two Terminators, the Conan movies, Total Recall, Commando, Last Action Hero, True Lies, End of Days, Raw Deal, The Expendables, etc.

Love him or hate him, the fact is Arnold is king at everything he does. He may have not have been a good politician but you should still give him the respect for getting himself there. Arnold is multi-talented and a genius. He certainly inspired me over the years! He’s my second hero right behind Sly.

I’m tired of all the Arnold hate. In reality, he’s a good guy. I have never met him but I know he’s a good dude ’cause he likes what he does, he has passion for the things he does, and he adores his fans. No matter all the controversy that surrounds Arnold over the years, the fans still stuck with him and people still love the guy. I’ve always loved Arnold. Still do to this day. I looked after him ever since I was a child. I watched his movies and followed his bodybuilding stuff for years.

Happy Birthday, Arnold!

Liberal people are helping to protect President Obama? That’s what this is all about???

4 Comments

Whenever President Obama is accused of something like Benghazi, Operation: F&F, IRS, spying, drones, lying about his birthplace, lying about his religion, etc. that’s when people will start to defend Obama. Liberal media seems to be protecting him. The liberal news. That’s why liberal people in social media sites and other blogs try to defend Obama. It seems that the liberal people worship President Obama like he’s a hero or a king or something. They never want to admit that he has done many impeachable offenses and committed horrible crimes. They just make lie after lie as a way to make President Obama look good. Even if stuff like Benghazi or the IRS and all the conservatives are blaming Obama for both of those, the liberals will act like he had nothing to do with those scandals. They’ll defend Obama no matter what is said about him. Just like they’ll do whatever it takes to defend Trayvon Martin.

Liberals don’t want to see conservatives trying to bring Obama down and take him out of office. Liberals accuse conservatives of making things up and starting rumors to make Obama look bad when none of that is true. We right-wingers are not dumb, ya know? We know we don’t believe everything on the internet. Even though it hasn’t been yet proven that Obama has anything to do with those crimes… we can tell he had something to do with them all ’cause all of the information that gets out on the news. From all the witnesses, news reports, hearings, etc. Obama is brought up through all them.

People mistakenly want to believe that Obama is innocent and harmless ’cause he’s President and works for the government. That doesn’t necessarily make him a good guy, ya know? There have been evil presidents in the past.

In my opinion, I think people need to stop protecting him. Sooner or later, you’re gonna realize that I was right about this man and you’ll feel dumb for protecting him afterwards. When will America finally wake up and realize that he’s not a good guy? I’m sure that time will come.

This is why liberals get all over me. They don’t like me hating on Obama, all the time. I love how people think an impeachment will never happen. Just more evidence that’s just another lie and you are trying to protect him, nothing more.

A President of the United States is NOT above the law. They can’t go on after doing something bad. They need to be held accountable just like the rest of us if we do something bad. Obama just covers up most of his crimes and lies about everything. He’s trying to make himself look like a good guy. That’s why the liberals still think he’s innocent. It’s all control and manipulation. Obama just making his fellow liberals happy.

I’m not stopping what I’m doing. I can’t do it. Even though, I sort of slowed down on the Obama hate in facebook so I don’t go to war with those liberals… I’ll just continue to do my thing here instead.

There’s so much stuff that we don’t know about President Obama ’cause it seems like he’s a very private guy and he keeps a lot of his personal life hidden from us. So how we can trust a President like that? Obama’s not a good speaker either. He uses a teleprompter. To be a president you must be a good speaker and Obama doesn’t have that. Previous presidents haven’t use teleprompter’s that much. A lot of presidents in the past improvised their speeches. That’s the way to do it.

Wake up America. Obama is not our President. We’re gonna get him on Benghazi… doesn’t matter if you like it or not.
