American Gladiator

2007-12-10T09:40:00.000-08:00

They are filming this around the corner at Sony Studios, so Jay and Angela and I went to check out the filming of the New American Gladiator. It was pretty awesome, we got to watch "Power Ball", which was fun. The new gladiators were huge, and pretty amazing to watch. The female gladiators were fun too, "Siren" came over and talked with us personally, she was cool, and was excited about the show coming out. And all I can say is that "Helga" is going to be a big hit, she rocks! For more check out their blog,

The Myth of Juno

2007-12-05T13:24:00.000-08:00

Just checked out the new indie pic, Juno. I have to say I really enjoyed this one, at first the script tries very hard to please, with hip one-liners coming fast and frequently, but then the film settles down into a well paced crowd pleaser. And it is "Diablo Cody's" first film, she is pictured here, being birthed. Although, Juno is fun and smart, especially in its characterization of women, the real star behind this one is, Diablo Cody, to read about her strange trip from Minnisota stripper to Hollywood's hottest
screenwriter, read here.

2007-11-30T09:22:00.000-08:00

That graphic pretty much sums it up...I implore anyone who thought that Beowulf looked cheesy, to go and see it...better yet, go out and see it in 3D at the I-max. I had my mind blown last night, wow, the performance by Ray Winstone was awesome, his campy bravado was pitch perfect. I can honestly say you won't see a better movie in 3D, and hell, I think it works even without it, because the script is actually adult themed and multi-lawyered... It's kind of like a long Sword and Sorcery episode of the twilight zone. This one is not to be missed... "I AM BEOWULF!!!"....

Borat in Westwood last Thursday

2007-11-16T15:52:00.000-08:00

Borat fans turned out en masse at the Westwood Borders for his sole public appearance promoting his new book, BORAT: Touristic Guidings to Minor Nation of U.S. and A. and Touristic Guidings to Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. For a couple of hours, he signed books, traded high fives and posed for pictures. An eyeball survey of the demographics of the packed room–kids, Europeans, goths, business types, hipsters, nerds, geeks in Borat and Ali G costumes, various media outlets, etc.–demonstrated the impressive reach of the Borat phenomenon. The man is a rock star. Every “high five!” or “Yagshemash!” or “Jenqui!” was met with woos from the crowd.

Sex Pistols @ the Roxy Oct. 25th

2007-10-26T09:00:00.000-07:00

Last night I had the privilege of seeing the Sex Pistols play their first ever L.A. club show. I had won the tickets from our local radio station, Indie 103.1, where Pistols guitarist, Steve Jones broadcasts his radio show. I had also never seen a show on the Sunset Strip, so I was really pleased to find the Roxy a great room for a show. I couldn't believe how small the the space was, and I was able to get a spot 3-4 feet away from the stage. After standing 40 minutes and watching the mostly gray haired audience wait in anticipation, I dodged a quick skirmish between two meat heads, that left one guy ejected. I couldn't help but think how classic, a fight at a Pistols show, only these weren't street punks or hooligans, these guys were Hollywood actor wannabes. I could only laugh. Finally, up in the DJ booth, Lemmy from Motorhead came out to watch the show, and I knew the band was about to play. The lights went out, and an ode to England played, ending with a triumphant crescendo. The curtain pulled back to reveal the 50 year old rockers blasting out "Holiday in the Sun". Johny Lydon is a natural performer, with deadly piercing eyes and a scowl made for intimidation. Not to mention, he's missing a few teeth (must be a British thing). Lydon looked odd drinking champagne from the bottle in his Long white tunic, buttons stripped off and replaced with safety pins. Overall, the music was good, and the Pistols played a tight one hour set of all their songs, and a few of their known covers, "Stepping Stone"... where Lydon tried to get political stating her couldn't stand anymore "Republican Bullshit". He was also quick to point out that the Pistols "were the ones to start this shit, not the Ramones and the like..." At one point a fan jumped up on stage, and the Pistols security guy, who completely reminded me of the Ben Kingsly character in "Sexy Beast" rushed over to rip the chubby hispanic girl off of Steve Jones. And then finally, after a set of playing for more or less bulky actor types desperate to relive some kind of punk rock pit nostalgia, Lydon laid into the guy who threw a beer at him, calling him out and saying "If you ever do that again, I will kill you...you fucking coward". And then, predictably, the band launched into a rousing version of "Anarchy in the U.K." Lydon closed with the immortal words, "Fuck All!" and the show was over.

Kurt Cobain Film

2007-10-19T11:06:00.000-07:00

Variety is reporting that the book Heavier Than Heaven has been optioned and screenwirter David Benioff has been hired to write it. I have been wanting to see a project like this for some time. But I am skeptical, because Courtney is producing and she also had a hand in the creation of the book. But none the less, I think it could be good. Rumor is, that Courtney would like to see Ewan McGregor play Kurt, but fans think Joe Anderson (Across the Universe) pictured here, would be a good fit. I don't know about him myself, but he does seem to be the right age, and does have that Kurt look. Any thoughts?

I went to check out "Black Francis" the other night, and was treated to some great new songs. Frank cranked out his new "rock opera" Bluefinger, which is a concept album of sorts, as it is based on the life and death of Dutch artist/musician Herman Broot. They're are some great tunes on the new one including threshold aprehension. which sounds a great deal like a Pixies song, particularly because of the female backing vocals. As a bonus, we got a celebrity Frank Black Fan sighting as, the other Black, Jack Black was there sporting a blonde short hair-do, for his upcoming film "Tropical Thunder".

He did everything right, he had the audience screaming for more. Great band, and after a 10 night residency, his voice still sounded good, pretty sweet.

That's my expression, as I fly up that massive piece of granite. Good times.

I heard about this new Indie picture about these traveling "A&R" guys who try to scam musicians out of money for "recording contracts". It seem like this is a bit similar to the Borat style, because the A&R guys are actors but the musicians don't know they are being taped for a film. The results seem pretty funny, and a bit cruel, but funny... To watch the trailer and clips go here.

I'm not a huge Van Halen fan, but when I saw these pics, I had to post'em. That there is the new look of VH, David Lee Roth at 52 is ripped (with short hair) and the new bass player, Wolfgang Van Halen, is a pudgy long haired 16 year old. Strange. But apparently they rock... go figure.
