Really Cool Google thingy with Star Trek It is the 46 th Anniversary of the Star Trek franchise. Not bad for a show that got canceled in three seasons. Here's an interview with the guy behind this new Doodle . Speaking of Star Trek, there is a really cool Trek Podcast on The Nerdist network that I've gotten into . It seems to be different things you can touch with a bunch of trek references. -You can have Kirk beam down with a “red shirt” and fight the Gorn. -For me, it was fun playing around with the “Google Doodle” . -And, I love the red shirt jokes. At one point on the show, pretty much every unknown character was killed off in an episode. “The Apple”  

Tom Cruise and his real Wife Auditions! I remember talking about the skit someone did online about Tom Cruise have wife auditions to replace Katie Holmes . It is funny, but it turns out it might just be true. From Examiner , (( When Cruise's marriage to actress Nicole Kidman dissolved, Scientology patriarch David Micaviage and wife Shelly allegedly spearheaded an intense auditioning process for Cruise's next wife in 2004.  )) Now, why would an organization set up auditions for a good-looking guy that could get all kinds of women? Makes you wonder. While I won't say Cruise is gay, mainly because he goes viciously after any print company that says he is, but this alleged auditioning for girlfriends doesn't help his case. From US Magazine , (( According to Orth's sources, the organization began by seeking out actresses who were already Scientology members. The women were called in, told they were auditioning for a new movie, and then asked a series...

Victoria Jackson has lost her mind a long time ago... Remember when Victoria Jackson was funny and talented? That left her a long time ago. It was cute when she acted like a dizzy blond on the old SNL show. Now, she is old, but is even dizzier.   I remember she went after the show Glee for its gay values.  And, I was like, "yeah she's lost her mind."  But, she has taken it a step further.   Now, she talks about rape and defending Akin... From Huffington Post, (( "The Todd Akin thing was so blown out of proportion -- it's a joke," Jackson said at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., when interviewed for my SiriusXM OutQ radio program   . "How many times do people get pregnant from rape? It's point zero zero one percent. It's a joke. I read lots of articles. I know people, because I'm 53. I've know a lot of people, and I've actually never known anyone who got pregnant from being raped." )) There ...

The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure is the worst Box Office performer ever. She is now in my nightmares.   From Box Office Mojo , ((It was pretty obvious that Oogieloves in the BIG Balloon Adventure wasn't going to do well, but no one expected it to open this low. The movie earned an estimated $445,000 from 2,160 locations this weekend; that tops 2008's  Delgo  ($511,920) for the  worst debut ever  for a movie in more than 2,000 theaters. ))  Delgo has been beaten.  If you remember, Delgo had the distinction of having the worst opening for wide release movie ever.  Now, it has been beaten by the creepy Oogieloves.  So, how bad was their performance? From Box Office Mojo , ((It also had the  second-worst per-theater average  for a movie in nationwide release at just $206. To put that in perspective, if each location played  Oogieloves  five times a day on one screen at an average ticket pr...

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes Trailer If you listen to the score, it is clearly a take on the Rambo series scores by Jerry Goldsmith.   I am guessing that is a messed up Revolver Ocelot we see at the beginning.  How did he survive?  Who knows?  Now, where does this leave the MGS Rising game?  Rising went through a lot of changes and looks very good.  However, this MGS looks like a direct sequel to the series. 

Howard the Duck revisited... Okay, Battlefield Earth is worst.   I loved this review from SF Debris and I got some major traction from my very old post about the movie from years ago thanks to Reddit. I have no idea why, but someone posted it on Reddit. The movie is a big mess and proved that George Lucas had lost his mind.  I can't see anyone looking back at this movie fondly.  And, the studio was fully aware the movie was pure trash.  I love t his bit from the Wiki Page , (( When the film was screened for Universal, Katz said that the studio's executives left without commenting on the film. [14]  Screenings for test audiences were met with mixed response. [14]  Rumors suggested that Universal production heads Frank Price and Sidney Sheinberg engaged in a fistfight after arguing over who was to blame for greenlighting the film. Both executives denied the rumors. [1] [7]  News reports speculated that one or both would be fired by M...

F' off Jersey Shore will end... thankfully Was this predicted in the  Mayan Prophecy?   From the Washington Post , (( All good things must end — even  “ Jersey Shore”   which, MTV announced Thursday, will fold up shop at the end of its upcoming sixth season. The show that saved MTV will premiere its sixth and final season on Oct. 4. )) I would never call this so called show a good thing. I can't even believe this train wreck went on for sixth seasons. I hate this show as much as the people that act like this and love this show. It takes everything that was bad in the later shows of the Real World and Road Rules. Anyone that's read this blog long enough knows that I truly hate this show and MTV to a certain degree. Everyone knows about the famous Snooki getting punched scene. Even though I hate Snooki, she didn't deserve that punch. You have to love the fake voice over saying, “You're going to jail.” So, yeah, the show is ending, but ...

You want a lame RoboCop crossover? Try the NWA one. So, RoboCop is defending Sting now? Since when? WCW (NWA at this moment) did a lot of stupid crossovers, but WWE also had some dumb ones too. Seeing Robocop come marching down that entry level is painful. Do you remember Rodman?   What about Jay Leno ? The 90s, what were we thinking? The whole thing just comes off as lame.  Lame

Robocop remake in trouble? This isn't a good way to start your movie when your director is saying there is trouble on the project. From Digital Spy, (( "I talked to José Padilha by phone. He will begin filming  RoboCop   [but] he is saying that it is the worst experience," Meirelles said. "For every ten ideas he has, nine are cut. Whatever he wants, he has to fight [for]. 'This is hell here', he told me. 'The film will be good, but I never suffered so much and do not want to do it again'. He is bitter, but [he's] a fighter." )) This feels like the remake of Total Recall all over again. The studio went in and started cutting entire subplots from the movie. And, the fact that Total Recall didn't make that much money probably has the studio for RoboCop a little worried. The news is now reporting that Michael (Mr. Mom) Keaton is now going to have a part in the movie. I guess having Batman in your movie isn't a bad ...
