Just when we all thought that this year’s surprise celebrity deaths couldn’t be any more shocking,word has come out that Linkin Park singer and former Stone Temple Pilots replacement singer Chester Bennington has passed away at the age of 41,right on the eve of both an upcoming new album and an upcoming tour(which I’m sure will possibly be restructured as a touring tribute to Chester).
His death has been reported to be a suicide,for while I’m no fan of Linkin Park it is sad that he died too soon and while Linkin Park was still on top of the mountain.
Here come all of the tributes and homages to Chester…
O.J. Simpson Is Now Getting Paroled From Jail,For The Prison Staff There Must Be Glad That He’s Leaving In October And Hopefully O.J. Will Be Travelling On A Spaceship To The Moons Of Saturn To Never Return
As everyone continues to talk about how cool they think it is that Quentin Tarantino is going to make his so-called Charles Manson movie project(Good Luck with that,since there is No Way that QT is ever going to top Jim VanBebber’s THE MANSON FAMILY[the Last cinematic word on Manson and his murderous clan),the new Red band trailer of the second TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE prequel LEATHERFACE has been released with news on it making its debut premiere on VOD(Video On Demand) this coming Fall,for by the looks of it the film certainly looks like it didn’t need to be associated with the TCM film and that it could properly work on it as its very own separate film. When watching this trailer and hearing about the Straight-To-VOD news,one strongly wonders why given the literally monstrous success of that last film TEXAS CHAINSAW upon why this new film didn’t get a shot at a nationwide theatrical release,for did the brass at Lionsgate not like the literally blood drenched results that both Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury(of INSIDE and LIVIDE fame) delivered and dump it upon the VOD universe as their punishment,or is it Lionsgate’s way of cashing in on the similar VOD success of Mike Flanagan’s HUSH ? Either way,the new LEATHERFACe truly deserves a shot at a nationwide theatrical release s much as Flanagan’s HUSH and any other horror outing richly does.
And people that are complaining about the new DOCTOR WHO being a female really need to lighten up(and chill out),since it is strictly the BBC’s decision upon who in their right minds can be Doc Who,whether they be Asian,Hispanic,black,Middle Eastern,Russian,Indian(both Hindu and Native American),and even female(of any kind),since it was previously rumored that the new Who would be female so deal with it.
Farewell,for now…
In Theaters This Friday: Luc Bessen’s new VALERIAN Film,For Hopefully It’ll Do Very Well And Hold Up The Sci-Fi Fans Till STAR WARS:THE LAST JEDI(a.k.a.: EPISODE 8) Comes Along(In The Next Five Months)
This past weekend,we just lost two great celebrity icons…
The great George A Romero,who not only changed the face of horror cinema with his landmark classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD but he also transformed the zombie cinema subgenre into both a most lucrative successful film market and a most fearfully dangerous horror figure to be reckoned with,as well as helped modernize horror cinema(with the splattery gore of DAWN OF THE DEAD being a major influence to FRIDAY THE 13TH.’s bloodspurting violence) and make independent cinema a truly important force in filmmaking,as NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD provided the role model for aspiring filmmakers to take upon indie horror/genre cinema as a way to kick off their mainstream film careers.
Actor Martin Landau,who was best known for the television shows MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE and SPACE:1999 and later proved that heavily working in many low budgeted genre films can enable one to return to the top and win an Oscar,as Martin did(as Jack Palance also did with CITY SLICKERS) in winning a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for ED WOOD(an Oscar spot which Christopher Plummer later moved onto),which is quite a victory for an actor(or actress) in the latter years of their career.
They will both be heavily missed….
If You’re Curious To Know: I’ve Got Nothing To Say About The Troubles Of Paige and Alberto Del Rio/El Patron And Donald Trump Jr.,Since Everyone Is Already Endless Talking About All Three Of Those Very People All Over The Internet…
This past week,there has been endless talk about Quentin Tarantino loudly mentioning about another film project(the Charles Manson one) that’ll likely meet the same unfilmed fate as THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.,THE VEGA BROTHERS,the John Travolta starring AIRPORT project,and that FRIDAY THE 13TH. project(with the Internet fanboys[and fangirls] wildly dancing upon that very news{foolishly thinking that it’ll get filmed}]),as well as Kid Rock’s plan for running as a far right wing Senator(he hopefully will mightily lose[otherwise his win would open up endless black holes without no escapes]),and the endless escapades of the Paige/Alberto Del Rio/El Patron soap opera(that has killed their credibilities as wrestlers).
Yet another celebrity death has occurred,this one being of The 2 Live Crew’s Fresh Kid Ice(a.k.a: Chris Wong Won),the Filipino looking guy who was actually half Chinese and half black and has passed away from diabetes and liver complications at the age of 53(which I am about to turn next week). This is hardhitting news to me,since both myself and my brother Monte always enjoyed listening to The 2 Live Crew’s songs in the late 80s through the early 90s and were always amazed by their profanity and sex filled lyrics which we never took seriously and laughed upon,as well as thinking how both Fresh Kid Ice and Brother Marquis(who is nowadays a born again Christian) were the dirtiest guys on the planets for having their albums about sex,sex,sex,and more sex.
So,let’s bow our heads down in honor of the memory of a guy whose rap group delivered endless hours of entertainment and was one of the much more fun loving(and fun seeking) rappers who never talked about guns,money,beating down people,or blowing up buildings(like many other rappers tend to do) and was a much more enjoyable person than one would wish for.
This Week In Theaters: WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES and WISH UPON(Which Got Re-Edited For A Pg-13 Rating[Yet Will Displays Its Bloodspurting In Its Future DVD/Blu Ray]),With That VALERIAN Sci-Fi Movie Coming Out Next Week And ATOMIC BLONDE Coming A Week Later: Damn,I’ve Got So Many,Many Films to Catch Up With…
I’m back with yet another new blog entry,for without any bullshit here we go…
“Post-Horror”
Today,a handful of Internet sites debuted a new horror term known as “Post-Horror”,which is very similar to that ever-so-hated late 80s term “It’s Not A Horror Film !”(as used by a handful of filmmakers around that time) as this new stupid sounding term has been used to describe the essence and feel of both IT COMES AT NIGHT and A GHOST STORY(both films which I haven’t yet seen),for I’ll just use one thing in describing this idiotic new term(that is as nauseating as both “fanboy” and “geek”)…
Joe Rogan’s Anti-Wrestling Bullshit Comments
From kissing Dana White’s ass to endlessly talking stupid things to infuriate people(such as the UFC’s VIP Georges St. Pierre(GSP) “having possible brain damage”),ex-Fear Factor host Joe Rogan is one of the most super overrated people on the planet as he’s completely unfunny and has nothing innovative to me about his comedy nor his podcast(which is just as equally super overrated),for when he displays the same anti-wrestling mentality as Dana White(the assmaster general that he is) andt he MMA community express,here are a few quick things to say about the maestro of verbal buggery….
First,from a classic mainstream bald headed celebrity superstar(on Joe Rogan)…
…and my thoughts on his idiotic anti-wrestling comments…
….for may Joe Rogan someday bump into ECW Original New Jack,a man who certainly would be too delighted in showing Joe Rogan just how real and how more entertaining wrestling truly is(knowing how truly insane New Jack can get).
Now In Theaters: SPIDER-MAN:HOMECOMING,Which I’ll Eventually Get Off Of My Lazy Rear To Go See When I Have The Money To(As Well As Both BABY DRIVER and [The Upcoming] WAR OF THE PLANET OF THE APES).
Yes,July is here and not only is it Summer time but we now have only five months left until the year ends(as well as the arrival of STAR WARS:EPISODE 8;THE LAST JEDI in theaters[it’s got to be better than the mediocre THE FORCE AWAKENS]),meaning I’ve better jump into some subjects right now…
* Flat Earth Bullshit Theory: What started off on Joe Rogan’s podcast has taken a life of its own as some fools do actually believe that our Earth is actually flat,for are some people actually this stupid to believe this bullshit theory otherwise if it were to be true half of the population would be falling off of the Earth and floating straight into space.
* Know-It-All Horror/Genre Site Writers: I’m getting tired of such writers for horror/genre news/film retrospective sites who not only treat the fans like shit whenever that fan disagrees with them upon a film choice,but also act like they’re the appointed tastemakers for society in their choices of utterly shitty film titles to force us all to watch. Sorry,but I’ve got my own film choices to go to and wisely watch.
* UFC Poop Gate: As it sometimes happens in a WWE wretsling ring, there are episodes of MMA fighters actually pooping in their pants during a match,which recently happened in the UFC when female fighter Justine Kish did that scatological thingy during her match against Felice Herrig(making a mess all over the canvas fighting mat),which must have “really delighted” the likes of Dana White,Joe Rogan,and Big John McCarthy once they got hold of this news(which was the first to happen in years since UFC fighters Humberto Brown,Corey Wethey,and Tim Sylvia all did a very similar thing[in their pants]).
* A Message To A Few Assorted People: The likes of Bill Maher,Ice Cube,filmmaker Josh Becker,and The Classic Metal Show’s Wendell Neeley and Chris Akin all really need to get off of their high horses and stop claiming support and/or ownership of certain racial terms,for I’ll be light on Maher,Cube,and Becker since Maher’s N word dropping(which echoes Roger Ebert’s similar N word dropping[a few years before his death]) is now ancient history since both both Neeley and Akin talk about their dislike of blacks and Black Life Matters and slam anyone that speaks out against them as “Fake Racism”. Sorry to these two heavy metal rednecks but racism is racism neither way,whether you support the right or are against them since racism is completely wrong in every way and both Neeley and Akin need to solely stick to playing cool long lost heavy metal songs(from the 80s and the 90s) and covering music industry news while completely stay away from politics and racial issues since their listeners tune in to listen to music and not listen to what they can hear on Fox News or MSNBC.
Well,that covers everything for now….
Sorry Fanboys And Fangirls,But I’m Unfortunately Too Broke To See Either BABY DRIVER Or Sofia Coppola’s Remake Of THE BEGUILED. Guess I’ll Have To Wait Till They’re Free DVD Rentals At My Local Library.
As provided in the link above,Jake Busey will ironically play the son of (his real life father)Gary Busey’s PREDATOR 2 character in the recently completed film THE PREDATOR,the fourth solo Predator film as well as the Predator’s sixth film appearance. And it’s nice to see (the often despised) PREDATOR 2 being acknowledged in the upcoming new film(since the first Danny Glover starring sequel does have its moments).
Written and directed by Shane Black(the scriptwriter[and co-star] oft he very first PREDATOR film),THE PREDATOR looks to be very interested for (unlike many critical on-line people) I won’t lay judgment until the film is officially released later this year(or possibly next year).
I just had to quickly kick out a blog entry before the upcoming month of July kicks in(this coming Saturday).
Quick Political Statement(Since I Openly Discuss Politics To Liven Up The Mix Here): I May Have Not Cared Much For Obamacare(Which Helped Lots Of People,Yet Costed Businesses A Lot Of Money To Provide),But Trumpcare Is Purely Evil And Will Only Help Lead America Into A Much More Darker Territory Than It’s Already Currently In,With Many Peoples’ Lives Already Placed In Danger(Mainly The Poor And The Middle Class). Fuck The Far Right Wing Politicians That Are Fully Backing It,As They’re Indeed Proving How The Combined Forces Of The Tea Party And The Alt Right(Which Have Infiltrated[And Deeply Brainwashed] Both The Libertarian Party And The Republican Party) Are An Extreme Danger To America,America’s Social Freedoms,And American Lives.
