The 32 Greatest Unscripted Movie Scenes.
It may come as a surprise, but often a movie’s most memorable line/scene is the result of an ad-lib. Paul Young at Screen Rant presents The 32 Greatest Unscripted Movie Scenes.
R.I.P. – R.B. Greaves
I just learned that R.B. Greaves passed away on September 27, 2012 at the age of 67.
R.B. Greaves was best known for his million selling hit, “Take a Letter Maria” which was released in 1969. He followed up a year later with a cover of “Always Something There to Remind Me” which peaked at 27 on Billboard’s Hot 100. His cover of “A Whiter Shade of Pale” reached 87 the same year.
“Take a Letter Maria” ended up selling over 2 million copies and was the first 45 I ever bought. I loved that song (and still do) and every time I hear it, it takes me back to my childhood.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to R.B. Greaves, his family, friends and fans.
“The Butterfly Effect”
Have you seen this fun short CGI animation, The Butterfly Effect?
- The Butterfly Effect was written and directed by Dan Sumich and is a homage to the classic action films from the 1970s through to the 1990s, with a soundtrack by the legendary heavy metal vocalist Steve Grimmett.
Well done, fellas!
A New Swing at Tarzan
Very cool.
Thanks and a big “Ungawa” to @MikeZeck for the heads-up.
Alexis Ziritt and Rambo
Alexis Ziritt makes his first appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. Alexis is the co-founder of Fistful Apparel and the indie comics co-op Calavera Comics. When I saw that Alexis was taking sketch card commissions, I decided to get on board for a couple. I asked Alexis to pick two from Jack Carter, John Rambo and Cobra. Alexis liked the theme and decided to do all three.
Looking Forward to a “Red Dawn”
I am really looking forward to Red Dawn… much more than I thought I would when the remake was announced.
Kirkman & Moore Settle Suit!
Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore have amicably settled their suit over The Walking Dead. In a joint statement sent to CBR.com it was announced that…
- “Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore are pleased to jointly announce that they have reached an amicable agreement in their respective lawsuits and all parties have settled the entire matter to everyone’s mutual satisfaction. Neither side will be discussing any details but will instead happily and productively spend their time focused on their own work and move on in their lives.”
Excellent news. Truly excellent.
X-Men 133 Not #1??
I was checking out CBR.com’s Top Five Most Iconic Wolverine Covers and couldn’t believe that Byrne and Austin’s cover for X-Men 133 not only wasn’t #1, but it didn’t even make the list?
Are you kidding me?
This issue is not only iconic, but was one of the most anticipated comics ever! The storyline had been set up for 133 to focus on Wolverine’s single-handed rescue of the team from the Hellfire Club.
X-Men 133 didn’t even make the list?
C’mon, man!
Jesse Munoz: Jack Carter – No Shades of Gray
Jesse Munoz makes a return appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. Big thanks to Jesse for his excellent take on Sly as Jack Carter and for the quick response time. Not only did Jesse provide me with this black and white version but also this grayscale version as well. Jesse is a great choice if you collect sketches!
You can see more of Jesse’s art.
Stallone to Helm Hunter
Bloody Disgusting has reported that…
- Stallone and Lionsgate have inked up a deal to fast track Hunter for 2014 release date. Stallone is set to star, write and direct, which will be filmed in 3-D.
I really hope this pans out. Hunter was written by James Byron Huggins specifically with Sly in mind. It’s an awesome book that will translate into a very cool movie.
- “A beast is loose somewhere north of the Arctic Circle. It has already decimated a secret research facility and annihilated a squad of elite military guards. And the raging creature is headed south toward civilization, ready to wreak bloody devastation. It is a job Hunter cannot turn down, but he soon discovers that his prey is terror incarnate, a half-human abomination created by a renegade agency through a series of outlawed genetic experiments. It has man’s cunning, a predator’s savageness, and a prehistoric power that has transcended the ages.”
Let’s hope everything lines up and Hunter gets made with Stallone at the helm.
Django Unchained Breaks Into Comics
Quentin Tarantino says he’s excited that Django Unchained is not only going to premiere in theaters this December, but that the first issue of (a five issue mini series based on) Django Unchained will drop as well.
R.M. (Scalped) Guera will provide the art and Tarantino’s screenplay will provide the story.
Thanks and an extra bounty shall be paid to CBR.com.
Fight the Dead. Fear the Living.
Now this is a nice poster. I guess it should be though, since it’s the official poster for AMC’s The Walking Dead (Season Three).
“Fight the Dead. Fear the Living.”
Indeed. And while we’re at it, you might want to check out these new promo pics and trailer for The Walking Dead‘s new season over at CBR.com.
Killing Them Softly
I like this poster for Killing Them Softly. My only quibble would be that it reminds me of a poster for a war movie more than a gritty crime drama.
I hope that Killing Them Softly lives up to advance reviews since I’m looking forward to seeing this in a theater.
