Variety Goes Behind-the-Scenes with Greg Nicotero on “The Walking Dead”
Greg Nicotero invited Variety [and us – thanks to the video below] into his studio for a behind-the-scenes look at how they create Walking Dead zombies and more.
“Sara Smile” by Hall & Oates
Midday Music Day 21. Sara Smile by Hall & Oates.
Ah, back in the 70’s. Sara Smile by Hall and Oates is one of those songs that I am always ready to listen to because I can close my eyes and it takes me right back to a great time in high school.
“Spectre” Trailer is Here!
The new trailer for the next James Bond 007 film Spectre has arrived!
The First Spacewalk Nearly Ended In Tragedy
Astronauts are modern day adventurers. The very first astronauts were that and more.
Those first astronauts were insanely brave and willing to to take chances no man before them had the opportunity to attempt. Their space ships were small and the computers on board were less powerful than today’s average middle school student’s cell phone. Each journey into space was a life or death trip with national pride on the line.
Sadly, because the US became so proficient in sending people into space, as citizens we became complacent. Before the Challenger tragedy, many of the major stations stopped carrying shuttle launches live because people weren’t tuning in. Ah, but I digress.
Mika McKinnon’s post, 50 Years Ago, The First Spacewalk Nearly Ended In Tragedy is an excellent piece that details just how many ways the first spacewalk nearly killed the cosmonauts completing the mission.

“Monsters: Dark Continent” Poster!
I like this poster for Monsters: Dark Continent and I’m interested in seeing the movie. My interest is tempered somewhat because I thought that Monsters was slow and well below my expectations.

“Holding Back the Years” by Simply Red
Midday Music Day 20. Holding Back the Years by Simply Red.
I know a few days ago I promised we’d find our way back to 70’s music, but being stuck in the 80’s these last few days hasn’t been so bad.
What if The Avengers Had Been Made in 1985?
Chris Tilly at IGN.com decided to take a stab at casting with his piece What if The Avengers Had Been Made in 1985?
There’s not much to quibble with. Tilly’s choices are on point, although I’ll bet a part would have been found for Sylvester Stallone since he had two of the three top grossing movies in 1985.
The question is what part would he have played?
“London Has Fallen” Poster!
That’s the new poster to London Has Fallen [sequel to Olympus Has Fallen] and reunites Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, Robert Forster, Radha Mitchell with the new addition of Jackie Earle Haley to round out the cast.

“Sara” by Starship
Midday Music Day 19. Sara by Starship.
Knee Deep in the Hoopla was not only a good name for an album [anyone else remember those] but the songs lived up to the name — they were good!
Jon Cryer Reveals the Inside, Insane Account of Charlie Sheen’s Infamous Meltdown
The Hollywood Reporter recently posted an excerpt from Jon Cryer’s So That Happened: A Memoir.
The THR piece, titled Jon Cryer Reveals the Inside, Insane Account of Charlie Sheen’s Infamous Meltdown, lives up to the billing. Be advised before you click over that adult language and topics are discussed.
Final Trailer for “Dead Rising: Watchtower”
Here’s the final trailer to Dead Rising: Watchtower that premieres on the Crackle channel tomorrow.
Dead Rising: Watchtower looks like the second feature that you’d see at a drive-in on a Saturday night. In other words, I’ll tune in and enjoy it [hopefully] for what it is.
