Some sad news surfaced today. The “Shogun of Harlem” Julius Carry III passed away last night, but few details are available. Sho’Nuff was probably one of the greatest villains in movie history. Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon is a 1985 martial arts epic, produced by Rupert Hitzig and directed by Michael Schultz. While the film was a critical disappointment at the time, it was a financial success and is considered by many to be one of the greatest cult classics of the 1980s. Carry’s most famous line from the film was “Kiss My Converse” which has been used time and time again by other films and in rap songs and videos. Carry was 56 when he passed away.
I will never forget the final fight of the film where we learn about the “glow”. The following scene is perhaps my favorite fight scene from any film:
I was searching around the net to see if any new KOTOR 3 news had surfaced, but came up empty handed in that department. However, I did discover that KOTOR era mineratures got an expansion of 60 different characters and the KOTOR Campaign Guide is now available. RPG players should rejoice that Wizards of the Coast now has these items on the market. If you aren’t experienced with traditional RPGs, you might want to check the Star Wars options out. Any fan of the films, comic books or video games will probably be interested in what they find.
To find out more about these items, check out the article on TheForce.Net.
We’re big fans of GameTrailers TV here at Kezins and, as fans, we look forward to the usual breaking news and exclusive trailers the show provides. In case you guys missed it last night, their reveal Godfather II episode made an exclusive mention of a Star Wars: The Force Unleashed demo landing on Xbox Live and PSN this Thursday, August 21.
Kezins got a chance to play the same demo at Comic Con in July and we came away impressed with how fun the force powers were to use. Fun enough that we forgot we had a lightsaber with us the whole time.
Considering the likely quality of Quest for Booty, Galaga Legions, and the above mentioned demo releasing this week, we must be heading into fall early this year.
Some people are trying to boycott Tropic Thunder because they use the word “retard(ed)” in the film. Others have claimed that Robert Downey Jr’s character is basically “black face”. The difference between “black face” and what we see with Tropic Thunder is that TT is meant to be funny, not hurtful. As far as people complaining about the use of the word “retard(ed)”, grow the fuck up. It actually shocks me that news anchors are calling it the “R” word now. The film is not making light of mental conditions and any moron could figure that out. People opposed to the film are taking quotes from the film out of context. Until they take the word retarded out of the dictionary, I have no problem with someone using it. The Bush administration hasn’t taken away free speech from us yet, so there’s really no room for people to complain. You people need to lighten up and grow thicker skin or just never leave your house. The PC movement in America simply continues to go too far. I’m not sure if there’s anything left in this world that doesn’t offend them. This post will probably offend them and I could honestly care less.
With that said, Tropic Thunder is probably the best comedy I have seen in several years. If you like laughing, this film is non-stop laughs from start to end. Don’t let the haters keep you from watching a really funny film.
Magazine circulation has been declining for several years, but it looks like this year has been the worst for the print industry. Below is a chart showing the first-half 2008 circulation figures from some of the most popular magazines. I have to wonder if online blogs have something to do with the decline. It’s quicker and easier to get your news and information from the internet these days. Another reason single copy sales are way down could have something to do with the recession as well. Check out the interesting article on the topic at WWD Media.
I have compiled some famous quotes from Hitler, tell me they could not be coming from Bush 43’s mouth.My response comments are in bold.
All great movements are popular movements. They are the volcanic eruptions of human passions and emotions, stirred into activity by the ruthless Goddess of Distress or by the torch of the spoken word cast into the midst of the people.
The major attraction at Comic-Con yesterday had nothing to do with comics or nerd news. Kim Kardashian and Carmen Elektra apparently stole the show promoting ‘Disaster Movie’. According to most reports, the lines to meet Carmen and Kim were longer than any other line on Saturday. Check out more images at the via link below.
