1st Impression: Robert Rodriguez’s Predators

by Rich on Mar.14, 2010, under Movie Trailers

The Preda­tor films have been a guilty plea­sure of mine for a long time, from the bat­tles with Schwarzeneg­ger and Glover, to the two films bat­tling the Aliens. The Preda­tors them­selves have always had a unique pre­sen­ta­tion to movie fans because they really are anti-heroes and there are times you actu­ally end up root­ing for them.When Robert Rodriguez announced his intent to reboot the fran­chise there was a part of me that was con­cerned because of the cast­ing that was involved, but as I researched the film more, I enjoyed the con­cept Rodriguez was using. In this new inter­pre­ta­tion human “Preda­tors”  and cold blooded killers are taken to a planet which serves as a Preda­tor hunt­ing ground and, of course, it becomes sur­vival of the fittest. I feel that the Preda­tor books as well as the films always focused on the hunt­ing of the strongest prey, and this film con­tin­ues to enforce that.  Here is your sneak peek at the Robert Rodriguez’s Predators.

Episode 34 Update

by Rich on Mar.13, 2010, under My Take Radio Show News

For those of you that have been fol­low­ing MTR on Twit­ter & Face­book, you know that Blog Talk Radio suf­fered some seri­ous issues on Thurs­day night/early Fri­day which resulted in the loss of episode 34. Blog Talk Radio rep­re­sen­ta­tives con­firmed that the show was lost, but sur­pris­ingly enough, some of it has been restored. You’ll be able to lis­ten to about 1hr and 15minutes of the episode. Here is the state­ment from Blog Talk acknowl­edg­ing the issue, as well as a response from me and the fol­low up email as well.

1st Email from BTR:

Hi there,

We are very sorry for any incon­ve­nience. The site did expe­ri­ence tech­ni­cal issues dur­ing your show. Our tech­ni­cians are work­ing dili­gently to ensure this does not hap­pen again. Thank you so much for your under­stand­ing. Please let us know if there is any­thing we can do to help.

Regards,
–S

My Response:

S,
I am very upset at the fact that this hap­pened. I went to great lengths to get these guests from the video game com­pany THQ. Get­ting them back on will be very dif­fi­cult. Not to men­tion that it makes my show look unpro­fes­sional. I am very dis­pleased with the out­come. What steps can I take on my end to pro­tect and/or back up my broad­casts going for­ward?
Rich

BTR 2nd Response:

S,

Again, we would like to apol­o­gize for this incon­ve­nience. There was noth­ing you could do to pre­vent this, it was a tech­ni­cal mal­func­tion that caused this issue. We know how hard hosts work to orga­nize their shows and we are so sorry that this happened.

Again, while unfor­tu­nate, at least some of it has been recov­ered. I will at least need another day or two before upload­ing to iTunes in the event the full episode is recovered.

The Ultimate Fighter Season 11– Meet The Cast

by Rich on Mar.10, 2010, under MMA, UFC News & Rants

March is a great month for UFC fans, with a ton of great events lead­ing the way towards this year’s install­ment of The Ulti­mate Fighter. With the UFC on Ver­sus on March 21st,  fol­lowed by UFC 111 - St. Pierre vs. Hardy on March 27th, and of course, Ultimate Fight Night 21 on March 31 ‚the UFC has all the bases cov­ered in terms of pro­mo­tion and great events lead­ing towards TUF’s Sea­son 11 pre­miere — also on March 31st.

This sea­son, a new for­mat will debut that plans to freshen up and rein­vig­o­rate the TUF pro­gram. With coaches Tito Ortiz & Chuck Lid­dell, you can expect great coach­ing, great fights and bad blood between these two that will make this another must-see season.

It’s a  great time to be a UFC fan. Here are this season’s competitors:

1st Impression: Iron Man 2 — Second Trailer

by Rich on Mar.10, 2010, under Movie Trailers, Movies

Iron Man 2 is due in the­atres in two months, and this new trailer makes me appre­ci­ate the work that Jon Favreau has put into this fran­chise. Of course the big sell is the onscreen debut of War Machine — now played by Don Chea­dle, who replaced Ter­rence Howard.  We can’t for­get  the Black Widow as well, who looks like she will make things inter­est­ing for Mr. Stark.

Mickey Rourke and the always awe­some Sam Rock­well are your vil­lains from what we’ve seen so far. Rourke will play Whiplash (who may or may not also become Crim­son Dynamo) and Rock­well is crim­i­nal mas­ter­mind and busi­ness­man Justin Hammer.

Iron Man 2 looks like it has the right spark to start the new sum­mer block­buster sea­son and quite frankly I wouldn’t have it any other way.
