Vikings Defeat Packers 30-23, Move To 4-0



Very good game! Was really looking forward to this game more then any of the year. Not disappointed! And I haven't been a true footbal fan since the days of Walter Payton and the Fridge on the bears. Brett Favre was amazing. Bellow is some pics from the game that now makes the Minnesota Vikings 4-0. - Grimpuppy

You know the backdrop – QB Brett Favre, now with the Vikings, goes up against his former team of 16 years at Mall of America Field at the HHH Metrodome on Monday Night Football. And the action actually lived up to the hype, as the Vikings scored 4 TDs and added a safety to defeat the Green Bay Packers 30-23.

The game was a back-and-forth affair for the 1st half, but the Vikings were able to take a 21-14 lead into the locker room at halftime thanks to a 1-yard Adrian Peterson TD run with just 30 seconds to play in the 2nd quarter. Then early in the 2nd half, Favre lofted a pass down the left sideline for Bernard Berrian, who sped under the ball and hauled it in for a 31-yard score that put the Vikings up 28-14.

A sack of Aaron Rodgers in the endzone during the 4th quarter put the Vikings up 30-14 and then the Purple was able to hold off a late-charging Packers team at the end of the game to produce the winning 30-23 margin.

Favre was vintage Favre, going 24 of 31 for 271 yards and 3 TDs, with zero interceptions. Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress has described Favre as an “equal opportunity passer” and the QB was exactly that on Monday night, completing passes to 8 different players and a different player on each of his 3 scoring throws. - Read More On Vikings Official Website.

Neve Campbell Joins Scream 4 Cast

Sharpen your blades, horror flick lovers. Scream, the seminal slasher flick from mad man movie maker Wes Craven, is set to start filming it's fourth installment with many of the original cast members returning, including Sidney herself, Neve Campbell. Campbell has confirmed that she will be reprising her role as Sidney Prescott just a few days after co-star David Arquette said she probably wouldn't do it. Even director Wes Craven said he thought it wasn't very likely that she would return. But now, almost a decade after Scream 3, Sidney will return as the horror heroine. Joining her in the mayhem are real-life married couple Courtney Cox and David Arquette, who have a long history together with franchise.

"I fell in love with my wife on Scream," Arquette said. "It's just going to be really fun."

Also returning will be The Vampire Diaries writer Kevin Williamson (who penned the first two films) and super producer Bob Weinstein. It will be his job to make sure number four does as well as the first three.

"I'm going back to what I do best," he said. "These films are our strength, and we are committed to doing them in style." - Story from limelife.com.

Spider-Man 4 Gets an IMAX Upconvert on May 5, 2011 - Fandomania.com



Columbia Pictures and the IMAX Corporation are press releasing this morning, letting us know that they will be releasing Spider-Man 4 on May 5, 2011 on the biggest of the big screen formats. This announcement comes hot off the heels of speculation from actor Bruce Campbell about the project’s start date, which allegedly will be in January. The only problem is that Spider-Man 4 will not be shot using IMAX technology, but rather re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience.

That doesn’t seem to weigh heavy on the execs at Sony and IMAX though. They seem pretty stoked about the whole ordeal:

“The last two Spider-Man releases have been available in IMAX theaters, and we’re very much looking forward to our return to a wider IMAX theatre network with this exciting new chapter in the continuing adventures of Spider-Man,” said Rory Bruer, President, Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures Releasing. “The addition of so many new IMAX locations will give even more fans of Spider-Man an opportunity to experience the action and adventure in a unique way.”

“Spider-Man continues to be one of the world’s most popular motion picture franchises, and we are very excited to include the latest chapter as part of our 2011 slate,” said IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond. “Our network has grown significantly and we continue to roll-out new theaters virtually every week, giving more moviegoers the opportunity to experience the movie in IMAX.”

“We’re so excited to once again work with our friends at Columbia Pictures, Sony and Marvel to bring this beloved superhero back to IMAX theatres,” said Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. “The Spider-Man franchise has been so important to the growth of our network and fan base over the years and we’re certainly looking forward to re-teaming with the entire cast and production team to bring this next chapter to moviegoers worldwide.”

Spider-Man 4 will reunite director Sam Raimi with stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. Gary Ross (Seabiscuit) is currently working on the screenplay.

Will you see Spider-Man 4 in IMAX?

Kurt Cobain's Widow Wants To Sue Guitar Hero 5 Makers

Courtney Love is threatening to sue Activision over Kurt Cobain being an unlockable character in Guitar Hero 5 and took to her Twitter page to scream bloody murder. Of course this was probably to save her own ass because, surprise! Guess who signed the agreement and the back of the check. TMZ reports:

Cobain's widow just unleashed a serious Twitter attack on Activision -- the game developer -- saying they never got her permission to use Kurt's image ... and she wouldn't have given it to them if they had asked. Here's a sample:
"not in twenty JILLION years would i EVER have allowed this and this islethal."
"we get NO money for this, travesty, Frances gets NO money for the rape."

Activision released the following statement:
"Guitar Hero secured the necessary licensing rights from the Cobain estate in a written agreement signed by Courtney Love to use Kurt Cobain's likeness as a fully playable character in Guitar Hero® 5."

In a less crazy corner, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic issued a statement voicing their disappointment, the AP reports:

"While we were aware of Kurt's image being used with two Nirvana songs, we didn't know players have the ability to unlock the character," they said. "This feature allows the character to be used with any kind of song the player wants. We urge Activision to do the right thing in 're-locking' Kurt's character so that this won't continue in the future."

"While we were aware of Kurt's image being used." Read: "While we were aware Courtney loves heroin but hates working..."

UPDATE: So apparently Rolling Stone has an interview with Activision back in August where they reveal "Courtney supplied us with photos and videos and knew exactly what she wanted Kurt to look like." Then again, I'm willing to believe Courtney remembers absolutely nothing of this because Vicodin's delicious. Story From thesuperficial.com.

JASON NEWSTED On METALLICA's ROCK HALL Induction: 'The Black Album Band Will Be Back Together'

Former METALLICA bassist Jason Newsted has confirmed to RollingStone.com that he's going to perform with the band at their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, along with guitarist James Hetfield, drummer Lars Ulrich, guitarist Kirk Hammett, and the man who replaced him, bassist Robert Trujillo. "The 'black album' band will be back together and mow the shit down," he is quoted as saying. Newsted says former bassist Ron McGovney will also be on hand for the honors, as will Ray Burton, the father of the man Newsted replaced, the late Cliff Burton.

"There's three bass players getting inducted, and James, Lars and Kirk," he tells RollingStone.com. Former guitarist Dave Mustaine, who now fronts MEGADETH, will not be inducted, however. "It's not my decision," Jason says. "I have nothing to do with that. It was decided by the band, and I think it was just a hard-and-fast rule… anyone who has recorded on any METALLICA recordings that have been released to the public as an official release were invited to the induction. So, that's kind of that."

According to Newsted, it was Ulrich who made the "very recent" call, inviting him to Cleveland for the induction. "I talked to Lars, and it's all good," Newsted says. "I was happy to hear from him. I hadn't talked to him for a long time, so it was nice to hear his voice." Story found on Blabbermouth Read entire story on: rollingstone.com.

Creepy New Movie "Orphan" - HD Trailer and info

Can you keep a secret?



An outwardly angelic little girl displays an unforeseen devilish streak upon moving into the home of her new adoptive parents in this shocker starring Peter Sarsgaard and Vera Farmiga. In the aftermath of a miscarriage, prospective parents Kate (Farmiga) and John (Sarsgaard) find their lives turned upside down; their marriage is falling apart, and the demons of Kate's past begin manifesting themselves in a series of horrifying nightmares. Deciding that the best means of achieving some semblance of normalcy is to simply adopt, the dejected couple visits a local orphanage. There, they are both drawn to a nine-year-old girl named Esther. But Esther isn't as sweet as first impressions suggest, and almost immediately after welcoming the young child into their home, Kate and John suspect that something is terribly wrong with their adoptive daughter. Kate can see right through Esther's seraphic charm, though her attempts to convince everyone else of the truth go unheeded by her skeptical family and friends. By the time anyone bothers to take Kate seriously, it may be too late to prevent a devastating tragedy from unfolding. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

ORPHAN trailer in HD


Orphan was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (House of Wax) and stars Vera Farmiga, Peter Sarsgaard, Isabelle Fuhrman and CCH Pounder. In theaters on July 24.

HAMMETT Says JASON NEWSTED Will ‘Most Likely’ Perform With METALLICA At ROCK HALL Induction



Flea of the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS will induct METALLICA at the sold-out Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony Saturday, April 4, at Public Auditorium in Cleveland, Ohio.

“It’s cool that he’s not in a heavy metal band but is a well-respected musician you might not expect,” METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett told Billboard.com. Former bassist Jason Newsted will join the band that night and will “most likely” perform with the group,” Hammett told About.com. “He put in 14 years with METALLICA, so I think there’s no reason for him not to be there,” he said.

Drummer Lars Ulrich told Billboard.com… “that the evening “will be like a family reunion — a whole big pile of people, lots of friends.”

The event will be televised live on Fuse and available online at www.fuse.tv.

Joining the band as inductees are guitar legend JEFF BECK, RUN-DMC, BOBBY WOMACK, and LITTLE ANTHONY & THE IMPERIALS.

METALLICA are first-time nominees, with the nomination coming 25 years after the release of the band’s 1983 debut album, “Kill ‘Em All”. An act must be recording for a quarter century in order to be eligible.

Frontman James Hetfield tells EW.com, “We’re very honored to be recognized. There’s a whole genre around us that hopefully we can invite through the door. Hopefully there will be recognition for some of the bands that have changed music and changed people’s lives. That’s what I think the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should be about. There are certainly a lot of bands that aren’t in there that I can’t believe aren’t: MOTÖRHEAD, RUSH, JUDAS PRIEST, DEEP PURPLE. But for us to be in there, hopefully we can bring some awareness to heavy stuff.” Source: newmetallicaalbum.com

Star Wars: The Old Republic - Bounty Hunters Revealed


Star Wars: The Old Republic has just released a overview of one of the characters in the game. The Bounty Hunter known as Boba Fett. "An infamous mercenary of the Star Wars™ universe, the Bounty Hunter’s journey is ruthless yet rewarding. Deadly missions and assassinations are just part of the dangerous tasks involved in choosing the Bounty Hunter career path. With missiles and flamethrowers at arm’s reach, the Bounty Hunter uses the latest in advanced armor and weapon technology to carry out these assignments - gaining not only money, but notoriety as a reward."

FIELD RECONNAISSANCE:
Bounty Hunters come and go as they wish across the galaxy, some working alone, others in groups. Though not uncommon for them to pursue targets in the core worlds, the majority of any Bounty Hunter’s work takes place in the Outer Rim where wary and elusive targets often seek places where they can ‘drop off the radar’.

OUTFITTING:
Preparation is the Bounty Hunter’s best defense, and cutting-edge protective gear is standard equipment for most Bounty Hunters. Artisans spend months and even years hand-crafting the Bounty Hunters’ heavy armor to ensure it offers superior resistance to all manner of weaponry, and that each suit will still allow maximum flexibility and versatility. Offense is just as critical as defense, however, and powerful weaponry is necessary for any Bounty Hunter who might have to shoot his way out of a messy situation. It’s not unheard of for a Bounty Hunter to spend as many credits on an advanced blaster as others might spend to purchase an entire starship.

COMBAT TACTICS:
Whether working for credits or principle, the Bounty Hunter pursues his targets with dogged determination and methodical precision. Bounty Hunters are renowned for their versatility on the battlefield and their ability to go toe-to-toe with force-users. Their legendary abilities in this arena have earned them the nickname “Jedi Killers”. Whoever they must face, however, the Bounty Hunter comes armed with the most-advanced weaponry on the black market, packing heavy firepower but always keeping a variety of tricks and gadgets ready to go.
