The Return of Conan

By -
I was watching a video about the making of Conan the Barbarian. It was very interesting. Movies all have a story behind what was shot. I saw this when I was young. It always made an impression on me. The sequel was not good. They turned it into a kids movie. I hate when Hollywood takes a great adult movie and tones it way down. Robocop had that same fate. They did it gradually. The producer always envisioned a universe of movies. Only, he should have stuck with the adult angle. I did see where Arnold says they will be shooting a long anticipated King Conan. Let's just hope meddling is kept to a minimum and the CG also! The original did not need it! Conan the Barbarian Buy Now

Another Serial Killer? Breaking News out of Pennsylvania

By -
I turn on YouTube today and find a news story about a possible serial killer. Not much has come out so far. A housed linked to the disappearance of 5 women, drugs and lots of pictures. It sounds like it might be a father son duo. It also sounds like law enforcement might have dropped the ball. The father was arrested prior to this. They found ID's belonging to women. Since there were no missing people, it was turned over to the DA.

Go Local! Support Your Farmers/Ranchers!

By -
I took a step in supporting our local farmers/ranchers. I think all people in the US should do this. Find a local place that sells what is grown and/or raised in your community/state/country. With all these recalls, who knows what these corporations are selling us. I found a local butcher and bought some ground beef. Everyone said it tasted great and was actually cheaper than Wal-Mart. We plan to look harder into these places. I want my money to go to the people who actually do the work, not some conglomerate! When you buy meat in the US, the USDA protects the companies, not the people. Especially under this president! Nothing he does protects our country. It's almost like he is actually trying to ruin the United States! I know Putin would be pleased with him!

Stories From the Poster Room: What Movie Theaters Were Really Told to Do With Promotional Materials

By -
As I might have said in the past, I worked in a movie theater from 1990 to 2000. It was a fun job. The pay was not great, but we got to see movies before they came out. We got posters, tshirts and buttons. Sometimes, we even had a promotion where the actual actors appeared. My first couple of weeks saw the arrival of Days of Thunder. We were lucky enough to host a premiere in Raleigh, NC. I guess because the movie filmed in NC. Michael Rooker actually appeared. Unfortunately, I could not meet or see him. I was in the concession stand in the theater. They brought out a car from the movie. It was a whole event. Getting posters was a high point. Sometimes, they movie corporations got a little touchy about promotional materials. A case in point is Star Wars Episode 1. They were so worried about people selling posters and other materials that they requested all materials be returned or destroyed. I was lucky enough to get a teaser poster of Annikan with the Darth Vader shad...
