All posts relating to general happenings in mainstream entertainment, where it’d be movies, television, music, or other things that fall within that bubble.
From the LA Times, this interview with Bruce Campbell and Lucy Lawless promoting the upcoming Ash Vs. Evil Dead series… which sounds a hell of a lot more compelling than that other thing that gets brought up here. Seriously, the above quote just ruined the movie for me.
But in all seriousness… I’m looking forward to this show. Wonder if I can catch it somewhere.
A continuation of the classic Bruce Campbell-starred Evil Dead trilogy of films with seemingly nothing to do with the reboot film from a couple years ago… well, other than the logo, that is.
Groovy stuff, this. Looking forward to it.
So, word has come out that the Rock is going to be starring in the new Rampage movie. Source here.
First hearing that, I had assumed that German schlockmeister Uwe Boll somehow got the funding needed to produce his third movie and somehow shoehorned Dwayne Johnson into it, thus proving that being an insufferable asshole on the Internet is the key to success.
But as it turns out, the Rampage movie in question is actually an adaptation of the old Midway arcade game where you got to play as giant monsters and demolish cities. Apparently, the people who did that horrifically generic San Andreas film is also on hand to bring this thing to life.
All things considered, I would’ve preferred Uwe Boll behind the wheel.
Then again, considering his track record…
Never mind.
Here’s the link to the video… haven’t seen it, but it’s likely JDF crying about this fucking worthless feud that exists only within his delusions of grandeur and the minds of those who continually drink the Kool-Aid they serve him. Douchebag Frank should be happy Punk even talked about him and gave him “six months of relevancy”; Van Damme probably has no clue who JDF is.
On that note, a personal message to Mr. Frank;
Hey, dipshit. You know what I’d like to see you do? Actually have the fucking balls to go face to face with ASJ. You remember him, don’t you? That guy you’ve been saying nasty things to and been challenging to fight while he was out overseas? That guy who just came back to the public eye a year ago? I’m sure there was no opportunity for you guys to meet up… OH WAIT.
Why am I giving this guy any attention? It seems like every time he opens his mouth, he says something stupid and I feel compelled to point it out. I really shouldn’t, but this is supposed to be the face of Power Rangers… you know, that toy machine aimed at young boys that’s all about teamwork, co-operation, and not using martial arts to start fights. And yet, here is the “greatest Ranger evar” looking to start fights with failed MMA fighters and semi-retired actors. What a positive role model for the kids, amirite?
Honestly, I shouldn’t care about this. I think I’m just enjoying racking my brain over the banal stupidity that this man displays in public or online. Is this the sort of thing he does in real life when there’s no spotlight on him? I sure hope not.
Anyway, I’ve spent more time on this than I probably should have… hopefully, I won’t have to reach that point again in the near future.
Would be nice, J.
http://www.ifc.com/fix/2013/04/10-movies-youve-never-heard-of-starring-pro-wrestlers
For those who can’t be bothered to click the link, the list is as follows
Hell Comes To Frogtown, starring Roddy Piper
Santa With Muscles, starring Hulk Hogan
Santa’s Slay, starring Bill Goldberg
Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe, starring Jesse “The Body” Ventura
See No Evil, starring Kane (oh come on!)
Knucklehead, starring The Big Show
The Marine, starring John Cena
The Condemned, starring Steve Austin
Bounty Hunters, starring Trish Stratus
Ready To Rumble, starring David Arquette, WCW World Champion
This list is immediately lying because I’ve heard of at least nine of these movies. Hell, four of them are recent WWE Studio films and barely qualify as “never heard of” films. If anything, this list should be listed as “10 Movies Starring Pro Wrestlers That Nobody Saw.” Then, the list would be more accurate.
He strikes again…
A twit from Jason Douchebag Frank regarding the Rick Medina thing (see earlier post);
Come on man you have to straighten up this is bad for the Power Ranger franchise. JDF
Someone has died… for real… not fantasy, not tv… someone has lost their life… and all you can think about is the franchise… what a classless act from a grade-a douchbag.
And then, in a pitiful attempt at damage control, you post the following on your Facebook;
ATTN: To all the people who are saying ” Bad for the Brand” has NOTHING TO DO WITH MONEY!!! I said bad for the brand meaning KIDS….. One ranger Falls we all do.. Ive worked to hard to be a ranger and be a Positive role model!! Its NOT bout me it about being a super Hero.. Im sorry Self defense?? If I had to protect myself it would of been a fist NOT a sword.. Unless the guy had a Gun or a weapon.. I can’t say what happen but I will say this… GROW up and get off my page… Just not gonna sit back and waste my time with Keyboard warriors!!!
-JDF-
If this is not about you, then why are you MAKING IT ABOUT YOU, YOU WORTHLESS SACK OF SHIT? There are other Ranger actors who have chimed in – either taking either a neutral stance or showing their support – but never making it about them? Because it isn’t about THEM. It isn’t about the BRAND. And it sure as hell isn’t about YOU.
Grow up? You’re telling the mature folks out there to grow up? You? You, who like to issue worthless challenges to people who wouldn’t give two shits about your overblown and overexaggerated Z-grade cult status? You, who hold grudges with a former castmate who has publicly said he had no beef with you? You, who once had a role in a MTV program about college kids having sex in their dorm room… and that was before you got brought back for Dino Thunder. You want to talk about being a role model? A role model that tells kids that martial arts is not about looking for fights and then you go ahead and do just that?
If that’s your idea of a role model, then Skylar Deleon was a former Power Ranger.
Unlike the mindless braindead followers that shower you with endless praise on your equally worthless Facebook page and elsewhere, I’m not drinking the JDF Kool-Aid. I can separate the man from the character he used to play; something you seem to have great difficulty in doing. Your attitudes and your words bring shame to the franchise you claim to represent. You are a cancer to that brand. I believed this last year… maybe a little further than that… but after this, whatever sliver of respect that I might have had for what you’ve done in the franchise – and believe me, that much is a stretch – you’ve pretty much killed that.
You are not a role model, Mr. Frank. You, sir, are a douchebag and an outright fraud.
Pathetic.
Congrats to Amy Jo Johnson for achieving her indiegogo goal of $75,000 a few short hours ago… and with 20 days to spare! Also, as a result of this achievement, she’ll be donning pink tights on Friday. As long as she doesn’t dye her hair pink like some other old timer did, everything will be fine. If you can spare a few bucks, consider giving some to The Space Between.
For the record, I opted for the Power Rangers photobook.

So Twitter is having a ball with the recent episode of Doctor Who, which apparently revolves around the decision of giving the moon an abortion. It is as ridiculous as it sounds. And yet people are talking about the abortion allegory this episode is apparently shooting out. You can follow that stuff here, but leave me out of it.

After suffering (yes, suffering) through two hours of dreck, I’m anxiously looking forward to the latest edition of Monster Madness madness where James Rolfe looks at a bunch of horror stuff. Forget the ego-trip vanity movie; THIS is something worth waiting for.
Yeah, I’m not doing a good job of keeping it subtle, am I?
According to this Rangercrew thread with no source, Jay Dee Eff was stopped at the Canadian Border and thus can’t make it to some fan expo in Toronto. I have to question the validity of this claim, but if that’s the case, then I guess there’s faith to be had with the people protecting our borders. Tough luck to the folks looking forward to meeting him, but you’re not really missing much.
