So l was reading this article where Richard Gere was interviewed....learned something l didn’t know....
For years there has been this urban legend that Gere had a gerbal extracted from his...well you know...
Gere claims that never happened & accuses Stallone of starting that rumor...
There is bad blood between Gere & Sly
In 1972 when both were struggling actors Stallone had some minor roles in films, some with Woody Allen...like in “Bananas” where Sly played a thug on a subway train....this was years before he would hit it big with “Rocky”
Sly & Gere were roommates trying to break into show business & Sly managed to make enough money in bit parts to buy himself a 1968 Mustang..
Gere claims that he was riding with him & accidentally spilled a drink on the interior...Sly became angry & ordered Gere out of his car....Gere then moved out of their apartment leaving Sly to pay the bills by himself....the two have not spoken since & flat out refused to work together since they both hit it big...to this day they have not spoken..
Gere said Stallone started that rumor & said he needs to come clean...
Stallone was asked about it & refused to comment saying he will never work with Richard Gere in a film....
Ok....Hollywood....got to love it.😆

Didn't you say something about how they were posting explicit movie clips to Lysette in the past that she found to be offensive? Yeah, that was in November.....they did remove the clip....I don't think they got suspended for it....personally I think this person is either a troll or a real fan who thinks they are entitled to her undivided attention & left when they didn't get it...... Lysette gave me many likes to my Tweets.....but not all of them.....1 like & I was happy.....however this person probably expected to much... Lysette has been MIA for 3 weeks now.....some knucklehead named "Carl Rylander17" made a remark implying that Lysette sorta gave it to Weinstein to boost her career......she had a not so nice response to that & has been MIA ever since......  |

I have been reading up on the "King Arthur" Legend......many historians are divided on whether or not he was a real person in the 5th Century.....those who do believe think he battled the Saxons, a group of Barbarians, it is believed he pursued the Holy Grail as well & of course there was the love triangle with him, Lady Guinevere & Lancelot...... This gave me an idea for a story to write.....In the "Predators vs Vikings & Barbarians" story an elder Predator hands Neveere Ambrose "King Arthur's sword "Excalibur" as a show of sportmanship at the end... I thought it would be fun to write exactly how the Predators come into possession of the Sword in my own spin of "King Arthur & the Knights of the Round Table" as this story takes place about 400 years before that one & 700 years before the "Predators vs Knights of England" story The Canyon of the Cresent Moon gets visited here as well as the Temple is visited as some folks try to acquire the Holy Grail with disastrous results.....I thought it would be fun to revisit the Temple again....only this time we see some supernatural forces at work toward the end as this is 700 years before the Knight will guard the Temple & 1,400 years before Indy will show up.... Everyone has their own spin on King Arthur.....this is mine... There is a Prologue at the beginning as Greg Ambrose tries to acquire "Excalibur" on Sept. 11 2001 at the World Trade Center as it is now in a museum inside.....this connects this story to all the other stories... & of course some Predators are on a hunt as well.. 1.

View AttachmentI will get to reading it as soon as I can. As for the King Arthur legend, I hear that it is actually based on a real person. Our history is a lot more interesting and crazier than we have been led to believe. From what I have learned, a lot of supposed myths are actually based heavily on true events that actually happened. |

View AttachmentI am currently 4 chapters into your latest story, Roman. I've got to say, you are getting better and better at writing. Dolph Lundgren was a perfect choice for the part of Prince Maligant. I should finish the rest of it soon. I am currently binge watching season 11 of The Walking Dead though, so I've kinda' got my hands full right now.  |

Cool…the last two chapters are full of action….l did borrow some elements of “Conan”….because Arnold is Dutch in this Universe l can’t add “Conan” in the same Universe….so why not insert some of its cooler moments….
As for my writing….yeah, even l have gone back & looked at the first few stories l wrote & scratch my head & say “why did l write it like that”….l will at some point probably put some finesse on those earlier ones….
As for Dolph Lundren…..yep….l am amazed this guy never got more work…although l think he got somewhat of a push in the late 80’s early 90’s… his films just didn’t catch on with audiences…
A role like Prince Maligant would have gave him that career boost…
I think “Rocky lV” made people hate him….sometimes you can play a villain too good that people are afraid of you
Wings Hauser (Vice Squad) or Rutger Hauer (The Hitcher).

Speaking of binge watching….l binged on a miniseries called “11-22-63”….a Stephen King adaptation that J.J. Abrams produced that stars James Franco (Spider-Man) as a guy who is talked into going back in time to stop the Kennedy Assassination but has to arrive in 1960 & wait three years to see if Oswald acted alone & try to stop him….& along the way falls in love with a woman who he is not destined to be with…he stops the assassination & comes back to the present to disastrous consequences (think “Back to the Future ll” on steroids)..& has to go back again & reset everything…when he resets everything he meets her again..
This was way better than l thought it would be….l finished it last night & it is still messing with me…..he has to let go of her because if he don’t fate will deal her a terrible hand…..won’t spoil it here….
I have said many times if l could go back & save my sweet Lysette from Weinstein l would…..however after watching this l wonder if l would experience the same thing….would fate deal her or me a terrible hand because the past doesn’t want to be changed….that notion is still messing with me..
One of the ongoing themes is that the past doesn’t like to be changed & freak occurrences will happen without warning in an attempt to stop you……
On a side note the woman he falls in love with has an abusive ex husband who owns a 1957 Plymouth Fury that looks identical to the car in John Carpenter’s film “Christine”……l am like “so that was Christine’s original owner…….
A little wink & a nod from Stephen King..🤣

Yeah, I have heard about how tricky it can be to travel in the past to try and change something and how it can possibly make things even worse in the future. There was speculation awhile back by some time travel theorists on what would happen if someone went back in time to assassinate Hitler. Would that have prevented WWII? A lot of people had their ideas about it but the one that stuck out the most was that it really wouldn't have changed much of anything at all because of the situation and mood of the populace at the time. Someone else would have just stepped into Hitler's position to take over. Maybe even someone worse? Who knows? But it does make you think? |

 "Christine's" original owner from "11-22-63"....Sadie's(Sarah Gadon) ex-husband was just as evil as the damn car too.......he was a man possessed & obsessed too....just like Arnie 15 years later in 1978....the timeline of "John Carpenter's Christine"  www.youtube.com/watch?v=4koPfEQVo44 |

Such a great cast too, especially the guy who played the lead, the owner of the car Christine, Arnie. I am going to have to get my copy out and watch it again one of these days soon. Speaking of John Carpenter, I recently watched the only film of his that I hadnt seen yet, "In The Mouth of Madness" starring Sam Neill, and I thought that it was pretty darn good. It has that creepy atmospheric feel to it like only John Carpenter can do. You can watch it for free on You Tube. In The Mouth Of Madness (1995) - Official Trailer

This is why Disney + is losing millions of subscribers now. People have had enough of this sort of thing shoved in their faces. Why are so many people in Hollywood and pop culture so obsessed with fictional characters sexuality and their sexual preferences? Just tell a good story and keep your perversions to yourself! |

This is why l have a bad feeling about the new “Indy” film….the fact that Steven Spielberg wanted nothing to do with it reeks of red flags….I hope it is good….but Phoebe Waller Bridge is his sidekick in it & she is a woke queen….l really hope it will be good….it is a shame that we have wonder….back in the 80’s & 90’s we didn’t have to wonder… Check out the latest “Geeks & Gamers” or “RK. Outpost” where they talk about what Disney has done to the “Proud Family” cartoon….it will make you cringe….it is so bad…..it angered me as a parent….even though my daughter is grown l am now a grandfather & it is upsetting. |

Hey, Rock....I don't know who this guy is....but he makes a few valid points about the upcoming "Indy" film..... I have been hesitant to post this...I know you are an "Indy" fan like me....but I can't help but wonder is this guy is spot on..., We know Marion & Mutt will not be in it...are they going have a line of dialogue that they left him because he was a deadbeat? Tell me what you think of this guy's assessment....is he spot on? or is he a just trying to get clicks? www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZIktKRpGnE |

From what I have seen so far, it is looking pretty good to me. Why they ignored Marion and Mutt is not cool though. They should have had some significant parts in this new film. I do not have a problem with a female character carrying on the reigns of Indy though. If done right. More thoughts and opinions on this after I have actually seen the film. |

Everyone is speculating on “The Mandalorian” Season 3 finale tomorrow….will a main character die?…will Palpatine return, the main bad guy Moff Gideon has some pull….some backing…is it Palpatine?…is there traitor among the Mandalorians?…or is it Darth Maul & Qi’ra & Crimson Dawn pulling the strings….not since “Who shot J.R.” has there been so much speculation…
I just wrote my own version of “Return of the Jedi”…
It dawned on me that if released today for the first time instead of 40 years ago…..all the haters would hate it too….like they hate everything…
I wrote a version that omits the second Death Star & the Ewoks & is more in line with “The Empire Strikes Back” & “The Mandalorian”…..it has a more serious tone…..instead of another Death Star the action takes place on Vader’s Super Star Destroyer…which got no love in ROTJ….why not utilize that massive ship?….well l did!!
I gave Darth Maul & Qi’ra a fitting end….now watch them show up in “The Mandalorian”…..l will have to go back & edit my version…

My only complaint about that is that there should have been more Wookiees in the battle fighting along with the Ewoks. I mean, if memory serves me correctly, I thought that Wookiees lived on the same planet as the Ewoks do? But, yeah, I agree... The 2nd Death Star was a bit much to take seriously, considering how closely and far along that it was being constructed after the first one had already been destroyed. It's still a great movie though, in my opinion. |

The version l wrote closely resembles what producer Gary Kurtz originally wanted to do….no second Death Star but instead Vader’s Super Star Destroyer….l think he also wanted to introduce Mara Jade(Luke’s future wife)..& Talon Karrde & Admiral Thrawn….Lucas disagreed & those characters were later brought to life by writer Timothy Zahn with the Thrawn Trilogy” of books some eight years later…
According to Kurtz….Lucas wanted the Ewoks because he knew they would sell toys….originally it was going to be the Wookies home world…Luke was going to be on his own & Ford wanted Han Solo to die but Lucas said no
Kurtz & Lucas had a falling out over it….some of these ideas got incorporated into “The Force Awakens”

I just looked it up and the Ewoks lived on the forest moon Endor, and the Wookiees live on their own planet Kashyyyk. I could have sworn that I saw somewhere either in a comic book or one of the Ewoks cartoon shows that Wookiees and Ewoks both lived together somewhere? Not in the same camps or communities, but on the same world? I will have to do some more searching on that. |

Here is a scene from Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ".. It is the scene where Jesus saves Mary Madgeline from being stoned to death....the bible says Jesus told her attackers "let he who has not sinned throw the first stone".....there is no dialogue in this scene...mainly because it is a flashback scene in the film......this is a powerful scene as Jesus shows his strength & his commanding presence....Mel's direction here is awesome... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9QMjX9ofVsThis scene is when they realized they just killed the son of God......the bible speaks of earthquakes the day of.....I bet this is what it was like.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLA3fN9Irc0 |
