Hail to the King, Baby...

This most recent post has a title quoted from the classic Evil Dead series, but it couldn't be more fitting for this post: Hail to the King is the forthcoming single from the band Avenged Sevenfold, and it's BTDT's most recent pic for hottest new single. We here at BTDT already thought of a great place for this song to be included: How about as the theme for the forthcoming Legend of Conan movie, starring none other than..... Arnold Schwarzennegger? Look for the album August 27th, but for now.........

HAIL............. TOTHE...............KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENG!!

WhoYaGonnaCall??? - The Saga (and Drama) Continues...

Ghostbusters III has been in negotiation for quite some time. However, in the last month or so, the latest update has been that Bill Murray will NOT be appearing in the film.

I have read various comments and articles posted on this topic, and one of the most recent comments that made me stop and think, was one from a person who said "if he cared about the fans, he'd do it".

I'm a fan of the Ghostbusters series, but I will say this: I also used to be a fan of the Indiana Jones series... The KOCS film (funny how that acronym almost sounds like something else), in my opinion (as well as many others), was a disaster. Is it possible that maybe Murray can foresee this with a new Ghostbusters film, and maybe, doesn't want to be on the train as it jumps the track??

The last Ghostbusters film came out in 1989. For those of you who can't add, that was 23 years ago. For those of us who grew up in the 80s, Ghostbusters at the movies was simply a great time to be a kid. But, as we have seen with many sequels, sometimes you really have to let classics remain............ classics.

For those of you who are on the fence, let me provide another example besides IJ... Anyone remember a classic 80s film by the name of WarGames? OK, great. Did you know there's a sequel to it? I'm guessing no. I rest my case....

Dan, please do us a favor and don't make this movie.

Catherine Mary Stewart - Starfighter to Crime Fighter

One of my childhood hotties was Catherine Mary Stewart. She appeared in 2 classic '80s movies, The Last Starfighter, and Night of the Comet (where she could play some serious Tempest by the way!!).

The other day I notice that the wife's got the DVR recording something in the middle of the day, and it's on LMN. When I saw that I threw up a little in my mouth. Nevertheless I hit the INFO button on the remote, and up comes "My Daughter's Secret", starring Catherine Mary Stewart. All I had to see was that name... and it was time for me to watch me some Lifetime......

The movie was filmed in 2007, and of course CMS had aged (haven't we all)- but it was still nice to see her in front of the camera once again, and wearing a badge to boot! Details on the movie can be found here:

Keep goin' Catherine! You haven't been forgotten. :)
