This may be the best news of the day, perhaps the week: Mickey Rourke [Marv] and Jessica Alba [Nancy] are set to return to Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For, The movie will begin filming in 3D later this summer for an October 4, 2013 release.
Donna Summer passed away today after an extended battle with lung cancer. Ms. Summer was 63.
Donna Summer was known as the Queen of Disco and rightly so. She rose to fame in the 1970’s and helped lead a generation into the disco craze. In 1975, she co-wrote and performed her first hit, Love to Love You Baby which shot up the charts. Hit after hit followed.
Ms. Summer had 19 number one hits on the dance charts. She was the first female singer to have four number one singles in a 13 month period, had three consecutive double LPs to hit #1 on the charts, and she won five Grammys. Donna Summer’s music helped define the Disco era.
I always liked Donna Summer’s music. I can remember being in Camelot Music the first time I heard her sing, Love to Love You, Baby. The song came on and she started singing and I was hooked… along with a generation of music lovers.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Donna Summer’s family, friends and fans.
Have you seen the trailer for the new series, Revolution, coming from JJ Abrams on NBC? It looks interesting enough to draw me in, but I truly hope that it doesn’t become a series totally about the search for the lost brother who may have the key to getting the lights back on.
Yep. I read it wrong. Two, maybe three times.
Although I enjoyed the first season of Falling Skies, I didn’t care for the final scene of the last show of the season. Still, I’m more than willing to come back for season two and see where the final scene leads.
Entertainment Weekly just posted some new teaser posters for Falling Skies season two. My favorite is shown above.
Falling Skies season two premieres on TNT on June 17 at 9pm.
Today’s Rocky and Adrian drawing above was created by the uber talented Chris Brunner at last year’s Heroes Con. I’m a huge fan and it was a joy to get a second piece from Chris for my collection. He did my first piece from him back in 2003!
You can see more of Chris’ art at his site.
While we’re on the topic of cool movie posters, how about this sweet teaser for Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For?
There’s speculation that it could be fan-made, but even if it turns out to be, I’m still diggin’ it.
Here’s the latest international poster for Expendables 2. Schwarzenegger – Stallone – Willis… an action fan’s Holy Trinity.
Thanks and a top o’ the beret to IMPAwards where you can see am Expendables-expandable-sized version of this poster.
I’m diggin’ the new international poster for Prometheus and am really looking forward to the movie experience.
Thanks and a tip o’ the space helmet to IMPAwards.
In January 1940, as World War II raged in Europe, The Three Stooges filmed one of their most popular shorts, You Nazty Spy!
Not only was You Nazty Spy! Moe and Larry’s favorite of all their shorts, it also marked the first time that Hitler was spoofed in film and Moe was the first American actor to play Hitler.
You can read more interesting and amusing facts about You Nazty Spy! here and here.
Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!
It’s hard to believe that The Walking Dead is about to hit issue 100. It seems like just yesterday I was signing the praises of the first issue. Now Robert Kirkman is getting ready to celebrate the centennial issue.
Thanks and a swing of a barbwire-wrapped bat to [not at] the fine folks at CBR.com.
That’s the latest photo from Riddick. Diesel is in top form and will move from post-production on Riddick to the next Fast movie. Good times.

The Rambo drawing above is by the very talented Eli Minaya. I met Eli at this year’s MegaCon. I’d never seen Eli’s art before, but decided on the spot to see about getting a con sketch from him. Eli was up for it and Rambo seemed the natural choice. As you can see from the piece above, it was.
