In Memoriam
FUCK YOU CANCER!!!!
Lemmy Kilminster
The Man, The Legend. Front man of Motorhead he is the apitamy of what I call a front man. He lived his life to it’s fullest making no apologies for what he said, who he was, or what he did. Everything he did was 100% Lemmy
Something you may not have known about Lemmy Lemmy’s real name is Ian Fraser Kilmister. His nickname apparently came from his younger wheeling and dealing days when he would ask people “lemme borrow a fiver”
His greatest achievement I think besides his music is the fact that he was who he was and never made an apology for who he was. In fact I think if more people lived their lives to Lemmy’s code the world would be a better place and I mean, he had a lot of ladies and he managed to do that with a face full of rotting teeth and warts.
Angus Scrimm
The star of the Phantasm movies known to fans all over the world as “The Tall Man” he had a very kind disposition at conventions. Something you may not have known about Angus – He wrote Album summeries on the backs of LP’s for Capitol Records before he was an actor. There is one more Phantasm movie that he is in. Phantasm Ravager.He will always walk in my nightmares.
David Bowie 
An amazing artist and Talent. Words can not even touch his contibution to music.
There is a lot to David Bowie but here are some things you may not know about the goblin king.
-
His first television appearance was in 1964, at the age of 17, he was interviewed on a BBC program as the founder of The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Long-haired Men
-
In 1980, he starred in the Broadway production of The Elephant Man
-
Even though it was a huge hit single, Bowie never performed the song “Under Pressure” before a live audience until the 1992 Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. He and Annie Lennox sang it as a duet (backed by the surviving members of Queen):
-
Bowie voiced the character of Lord Royal Highness on an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants in 2007.
- He released Blackstar, his final album on January 8, 2016, his birthday. New York Times critic Jon Pareles noted that it was a “strange, daring and ultimately rewarding” work “with a mood darkened by bitter awareness of mortality.” Only a few days later, the world would learn that the record had been made under difficult circumstances.
The world will not be the same without him.
Alan Rickman
What can be said here, I mean, the guy was as memorable and potent as most of the Characters he played. From Hans Gruber in Die Hard to Metatron in Kevin Smith’s Dogma. Seeeney Todd. Galaxy quest but mostly as Sevreas Snape in the Harry Potter Films.
Always
THE BIG THING
A tralier for a Cloverfield sequel no one knew anything about dropped today.
10 Cloverfield Lane follows a girl who, after losing consciousness in a car accident, wakes up in an underground cellar with a man who tells her that the outside world has perished in a nuclear attack.
Watch Here
It sort of reminds me of The Divide. Starring Michael beign. Directed by Xavier Gens
Trailer here. I highly recommend it.
Stars: John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and John Gallager Jr. Opens Nationwide on 3-11
THE RUMOR MILL…..
THIS FROM LATINO REVIEW That besides Lex and Zodsday Batman V Superman will have a third villain
Bizarro Ladies and Gents. Bizarro.
That being said and in a all honesty here I don’t buy it. This movie is already packed full of DC goodness. Bizarro if indeed in Batman V Superman will get over shadowed by the already 5 story lines running throughout it’s 2 hour and 10 minute runtime.
The sad part here is that DC shouldn’t feel the need to catch up to Marvel. What Marvel Studios did was a masterstroke. They built their shared universe over time, nearly ten years. DC is going for more of a Big Bang Theory approach here. Were are going to get it all at once and give you our “Avengers” up front. Which is fine, however it doesn’t feel grounded narratively. Which is why the Marvel Movies are successful.
We will see soon enough. For the record, I do not want DC to fail. I want to see more Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the whole Justice league. It just seems success may be out of reach for them.
THE MOVIE NEWS
Star Wars : Episode 8 will be Darker and more physical? I say Bring it.
John Boyega Says ‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ Will Be ‘Much Darker’
Actors for the Standalone Han Solo Film Directed by Phil Lord have been widdled down to around 12 and among the names making the cut.
Miles Teller No
Ansel Elgort * Yes
Dave Franco No
Jack Reynor ….Maybe
Scott Eastwood NO
Logan Lerman – percy Jackson….NO
Emory Cohen NO
Blake Jenner * Maybe
But do we really need a young Han Solo movie? I don’t think so.
Doctor Strange. We finally got our first look at the Sorcerer Supreme.
From the looks of this Kevin Fiege and Scott Derickson are staying very true to the character and I couldn’t be happier about it. Doctor Strange was always an interesting character to me even if I never really read him on the regular. One of the best things about the Marvel Cinematic Universe is characters who have been outside of the public knowledge, much like The Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, Doctor Strange now are getting the spotlight. I think Marvels greatest victory is that they are not changing these characters. They are delivering you from page to screen a very direct adaptation and audiences are falling in love with these characters. Doctor Strange is going to rock the movie house.
The Conjuring 2 got a trailer and it is superb.
This film was a great scare. I love James Wan’s work. It’s clean but stylized. Can’t wait for this.
Sadly, Universal Studios Mothballed Pac Rim 2.
From the Press Release: “Legendary’s ‘Pacific Rim 2,’ originally scheduled for release on August 4, 2017, will be redated at a later time. The filmmakers, Legendary and Universal Pictures are committed to having ‘Pacific Rim 2,’ the sequel to 2013’s ‘Pacific Rim,’ which generated more $411 million at the global box office, be the vanguard, fully-immersive experience that the franchise deserves. To this end, the decision was made to delay the production and release of ‘Pacific Rim’ so that the creative team can continue in its efforts to exceed the amazing experience of the first film.”
But Del Toro is saying dont plug the rim yet..
Del Toro Tweeted Fans on Tuesday saying
“ Pac Rim 2 cancelled? Don’t believe everything you read. It’s still going and I’ll remain w it in one way or another!”
Because China’s Wanda studios bought Legendary Entertainment for 3.5 Billion. and as variety posted Wanda is committed to developing new IPs for the company and supporting successful franchises that Legendary has already built. Like Pac Rim. So that is some good news and quite frankly its in better hands with Wanda who will soon be a major player in the film biz.
- The company is creating China’s Tinseltown with an $8 billion movie studio complex in the country’s northeast that will be fully operational by June 2017.
- There’s also a permanent underwater studio, an Imax research and development center and China’s biggest film and celebrity wax museums.
- Wanda also bought AMC Entertainment Holdings, the second biggest U.S. movie theater chain, in 2012 in a $2.6 billion deal that was the biggest Chinese takeover of an American company at that time.
Speaking of Big Monsters…Godzilla : Resurgence had some Leaked pics .
I am eagerly awaiting to see this. While I wasn’t a big fan of Attack on Titan’s big screen adventure I did admire the titans and the effects which TOHO is carrying over to this film.
Godzilla has never looked this frightening and raw. I like it.

We used to have a segment called the week in comics where we talk about the comics that came out that week and reviewed them. Well we scrapped it for something a little more general and renamed it.
