Tough Times + Public Enemies Trailer non-News

There was a report over at Imdb that some guy had seen the trailer and he reported that it would be out by the end of February. Of course everybody was all ga ga over this which I felt was odd because when I reported my vague rumor of a reshoot I was jumped on for creating rumors and just trying to get attention.

But this guy got a free ride.

I was the first to play devils advocate and when I hit reply I covered my gonads waiting for someone to start kicking me for being a poopy-head jealous person. The regulars are now chiming in and it's looking like a hoax. We shall see. I emailed 1st Assistant director Bob Wagner to see if he knows anything but figure I'll get nothing in return unless it's in some coded message I'll have to decipher and guess at.
================================

I want to post an email from a friend - I won't say who because I have not gotten his OR her permission but I'm thinking a lot of people are feeling this way. He OR she writes

"Is it just me? This not knowing or seeing any real news of the movie is driving me nuts? It's like waiting for Christmas but not knowing the date, every day we go by without anything make me think the July 1 date is just arbitrary."

I think this also has to do with the winter in general. My mom has been depressed and a friend of hers asked why. She said "Have you heard of ANY good news in the last few months?" The reply was "The Miracle on the Hudson**!" But it was bad luck the birds hit the plane she said.

Every time I hear "Miracle on the Hudson" I think of Kate Hudson and one night stands.

This is why
Flight 1549 is getting SO much air play. People are just looking for something good to latch onto. Something they can smile about. The poor crew (who have been awarded the Master's Medal of the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators also known as The MMGAPAN) have had to relive the event hundreds of times for the news.

I had to laugh last night when they were on Letterman and Sully(we're on a first name basis now on facebook as I am one of his 600,000 friends) was talking about his job in "landing" the craft and Letterman turns to the copilot Jeffrey Skiles from Wisconsin and asks "what were you doing during all of this?" Skiles says "Oh, I was paralyzed with fear!" and the audience erupts!

Something no one had mentioned was that there were no pets on the flight.

Sully has mentioned that he still has trouble sleeping and dreams. WELL YEA!!! I'm sure Left Hand Louie had some interesting dreams in his ordeal with gunman and I know when I was held up at gun point I was smooth and collected until I tried to sleep. Crazy dreams.
==================
Speaking of Left Hand Louie I bottled a brew he should like (along with adubya). An American Pale Ale. Actually it's an Amarillo SMaSH. Single Malt and Single Hop. Tasted pretty great just before bottling.

And speaking of beer - We're hitting the Kurth tonight if anyone else is interested.
===================
Anybody watching American Idol? We seem to watch it every 3rd year. Lots of good male singers this time and a lot of female drama queens. What I find interesting is that some of the songs being song are HITS from previous winners.

I never thought there would be any actual STARS from this show when it came on the air but there have been a few serious winners. Carrie Underwood is THE Country Star who set records with her 2nd album as the most sales for a solo female Country album in history. Kelly Clarkson has sold 17 million "albums" and as the #1 hit right now on the Pop charts.

Winners from Idol
Kelly Clarkson
Ruben Studdard (Clay Aiken was the real winner)
Fantasia Barrino (Jennifer Hudson was the real winner)
Carrie Underwood
Taylor Hicks - bomb!
Jordin Sparks
David Cook - who?? maybe it's too early.
=================================
New show to watch for.

For fans of Buffy the Vampire Killer, Firefly, the movie Serenity and Joss Whedon in general comes Dollhouse. Sort of a cross between, Quantum Leap, Alias, and Dark Angel and so forth. Scientists take hot looking males and females, wipe their brains of all memory's and reinstall new memory's and muscle memory's for missions of pleasure and killing or whatever a client needs done. Then they come back and are wiped clean again for the next mission. Except one woman starts to remember the past. Entertainment Weekly gives it a B- so far. It's on Friday Nights (the night where all good shows go to die).

Survivor.

I never got my audition tape in for Survivor 20 Grinders Island but I did make a label. Didn't make the beer though - I wonder if I could call an APA a Bitter.


The new Survivor is on this Thursday and it looks AWESOME. BIG twist and Jeff Probst says he guarantee you will love this cast. Make sure you watch it. Someday you will see me on the show (as the old guy being voted off first because I'm The Old Guy that won't shut up).

I just could not do the next Survivor. With Public Enemies SUPPOSE to be out July 1st and filming taking place at that very time, I did not want to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity. I can always audition for Survivor.
===============================
This day in Wisconsin History

1842 - Shooting in the Legislature
On this date the Territorial Legislature of Wisconsin met in Madison, only to be interrupted by the shooting of one member by another. The legislature was debating the appointment of Enos S. Baker for sheriff of Grant County when Charles Arndt made a sarcastic remark about Baker's colleague, James Vineyard. After an uproar, adjournment was declared and when Arndt approached Vineyard's desk, a fight broke out during which Vineyard drew his revolver and shot Arndt.

Thanks Graham Man
=================================

AND one last thing - I found this the other day and thought that it was funny - the guy is not in the White House anymore but . . . .



Have a wet day!

  1. I think IMDB posters are talking to hear them selves. Some of the stuff is not even speculation it is completely made up! One thing about the internet is there are no editors (except our host) read with caution!

    Great blog as usual, I am addicted. Thought you would like the shooting in the capital, truth is always stranger…..

  2. Addition - Chris Daughtry was on Idol "Daughtry is the fourth most successful American Idol contestant in the history of the show, in terms of record sales, behind Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Clay Aiken. "

    I even have an album with him and Slash - didn't know he was an Idol.

  3. Rod, I loved the video! But if zombies are looking for human brains, they picked a bad place to look for them. Lord knows there were no brains in the Bush White House!

  11. It appears you have yet to have the "This business and that business and this business and that business started in Columbus and now all these jobs are in Fall River" tour. Not that FR is a bad place for them. It's good they went there and stayed close anyway. Many of those workers live in Columbus. Frustrating to talk with those business owners as to why they moved...

  13. Yeah! Another very smart person who realizes Clay WAS the real winner of AI2. There never was any competition. Clay was receiving 80 percent of the vote 'EVERY SINGLE WEEK HE WAS ON' (quote was from TWO producers of AI2). That means Ruben was receiving only a few percentage points when the competition had more than the two finalists. And only 20 percent (if ALL of Clay's votes were able to get through the ONE measly phoneline) after the final competition. Besides, with the huuuuge difference between the two careers-how can anyone believe Ruben 'won' AI2?????

  14. I think Clay Aiken has proven by his lack of success since that initial year on idol that it was just a fluke. Plus had he been up right and not a closeted gay he would not have had that initial success as a "Sex Symbol". Clay Aiken has since come out of the closet, been dropped from his record label and his last album didn't sell 200K so it's a good thing he did win the singing portion of the competition.

    So no, this blogger isn't smart sort of clueless if you ask me.

    Jennifer Hudson can't possibly be the winner of Season four since she didn't have any success whatsoever until 2006 (her season was 2004) and that was with the Dreamgirls movie. Fantasia has sold more albums then her and has had more success at radio then her. Jennifer won a grammy behind her family tragedy. So no she isn't the real winner of season 3.

  15. Personally I have not really been paying attention since it is not my genre.

    But since Rock Star was rigged there is not much more for music.

    Metal/Rock and Classical.

    Have never seen battle of the Orchestras

  16. Clay's 'lack of success'???? Where have YOU been? What Clay has accomplished in the past 6 years can fill up a 100+ page book. With his many tv appearances; special appearances for charity; his 9 solo tours; one tour with Kelly Clarkson where 90 percent of the concert-goers went to see Clay; his very successful book; his 2 runs on Broadway; his own very successful charitable foundation; his 4,000,000+ in sales of CDs, singles and EPs--I could go on and on but don't have the room! Clay has accomplished more than ALL the contestants that were ever on the past 7 seasons of AI; and will continue to do so.
