Woody Harrelson is construction worker by day, self-made superhero by night in Defendor, a comedy that takes aim at society's infatuation with comic-book mythologies. While the city is awake, Arthur Poppington (Harrelson) holds traffic signs, and is nearly invisible to all who pass; after hours, he assumes his secret identity (complete with homemade costume) and prowls the streets in search of his arch nemesis, "Captain Industry." Along the way, he saves a young prostitute (Kat Dennings) from an abusive undercover cop (Elias Koteas), a move that proves his commitment to fighting for the weak, but also turns him into a real live fugitive from the law.
Dear John tells story of John Tyree (Channing Tatum), a young soldier home on leave, and Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried), the idealistic college student he falls in love with during her spring vacation.

While meeting only sporadically, they stay in touch by sending a continuous stream of love letters overseas--correspondence that eventually triggers fateful consequences.

Joe) and Savannah (Amanda Seyfried - Mamma Mia, TV's “Big Love”) fall madly in love, their relationship is put on hold. With one leaving to complete his service, and the other to complete her college education, they pass the time by exchanging a continuous stream of love letters, until they can be reunited permanently a year later. But when war breaks out, their separation is extended indefinitely. Will their relationship survive the greatest test of all: the test of time? Based on the best-selling novel from the author of The Notebook, DEAR JOHN is a timeless romance that will warm your heart.
In a world 10 years into the future, vampires make up the vast majority of the population with only 5% of the human race remaining. This presents particular challenges as the vampires' food supply - human blood - is dwindling and rationing is now the norm. There is growing evidence that vampires deprived of an adequate blood supply are themselves evolving into wild, vile creatures that attack anyone and anything in order to survive. Dr. Edward Dalton, a vampire and hematologist who works for a pharmaceutical firm, has been working on finding an artificial blood supply that will meet the vampire society's needs. He is sympathetic to humans and sees his work as a way of alleviating their suffering but his views on finding a solution change considerably when he meets someone who found a way to transform himself from being a vampire to again take human form.
It is the year 1250 B.C. during the late Bronze age. Two emerging nations begin to clash after Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her husband Menelaus, and sail with him back to Troy.

So they set off with 1,000 ships holding 50,000 Greeks to Troy. With the help of Achilles, the Greeks are able to fight the never before defeated Trojans. But they come to a stop by Hector, Prince of Troy. The whole movie shows their battle struggles, and the foreshadowing of fate in this remake by Wolfgang Petersen of Homer's "The Iliad."

I've been listening to a lot of Doom lately, and I know several of these posts have shown up in the wake of homies flaugin-ass moves. Although, this wouldn't be the first for Doom, sending out some fake-ass motherfucker to front and pose and him -- but why? I still don't get it. Not at all. Shit, I do my thing as a drum and bass DJ, and I love to rock a crowd. Why the fuck is this guy fakin' on the funk, when he know his shit is nice? Why?
I just don't fucking get it. Fix up motherfucker, cats wanna see you live.
Won't be a first or a last with club bouncers. Ridiculous. Hoping for a speedy recovery.
"Double 0 of Kidz In The Hall badly assaulted by security after performance; Management issues statement"
Double O from the hip hop group Kidz In The Hall was assaulted by several bouncers early Saturday morning, July 26, while inside a nightclub in Tempe, AZ following a Kidz In The Hall performance. Group member and friend Naledge, who did not witness the assault on Double O, was arrested outside of the club. Naledge's attempt to get medical assistance for Double O was misconstrued as a hinderence to the investigation. Reports that no injuries were sustained are false as Double O was taken to the hospital with multiple injuries from the excessive force used by club security. On Sunday morning Double O underwent surgery for one of his injuries. He is still in the hospital, but in stable condition.
In the last 2 years, Kidz In The Hall have traveled to over 10 countries, have done 200+ shows and never before been involved in any altercation, big or small, with club or concert security, or police officers.
I found a great excerpt that nails my sentiments exactly on this whole mess, courtesy of Method Man via HipHopDX:
“Ice-T is an OG he don’t need to be even addressing nothing like that but he felt the need to address it for the love of Hip Hop and all that and I respect that. But him being the status that he’s at he shouldn’t be addressing someone like Soulja Boy – nor should Snoop Dogg,” he said. “But (Soulja Boy) is out there like that. If he wasn’t put out there like he was the truth I don’t think anyone would have a problem with him like that. Because lyrically he’s not the truth that’s no secret.”
Swap out Ice-T with Snoop Dogg, with GZA with anyone really. Point is (and the real truth) is that Soulja Boy obviously does have pull with the younger demo, but also stands to gain from taking stabs at all these pioneers.
Sources, substance, significance.
Shit, when someone can produce an Ice-T live performance pre-dating Soulja Boy's birth, that says it all. A million ringtone downloads is nice, but let's be real.
Will Soulja Boy even be relevant 12 months from now?
Ask yourself, on a cold day in Chicago, a year from now, will anyone give a fuck?
You know that I'm just going to keep trumpeting this shit until the album hits. I listened to the whole preview on Def Jam last night and damn, am I excited to bump the full--nice and loud. Hard rhymin' and smackin' beats, totally killin' it.
Check that shit.
Anyway, just came up on this interview with Rhapsody where he drops some pretty sharp responses on various topics. From his reason for coming hard on The Big Doe Rehab, to the situations with Superb and the RZA. I've been casually reading some of the other write-ups about the Wu meltdown, and I wasn't really trying to fuck with it, but this one caught my attention. He throws some pretty pointed verbal lashings.
I caught this over on HiphopDX and am passing the info along to my locals:
Miami Beach police are asking women who had unprotected sex (intercourse and/or oral) with a popular club promoter come forward - 22-year old Elidor Kersaint is HIV positive and knowingly spread the disease to his sex partners.
According to the Miami Beach Police Department, one 20-year-old woman has already told Miami Beach police she has had sex with Kersaint on two occasions and he never told her he had HIV. Police fear there may be other women who had sex with him and are not aware that he was HIV positive. Miami Beach police are urging anyone who had a relationship with Kersaint to see a doctor and then contact police.
Elidor Kersaint is well-known on the South Beach party scene. On his MySpace page, there are dozens of pictures of him posing with celebrities, as well as countless pictures of him with half naked women. Kersaint gained his popularity by promoting events for popular and exclusive clubs such as Opium, Prive, and Mansion. Representatives from the Opium Group (which own all three aforementioned nightclubs) say Kersaint was not an employee, but rather, may have worked with any number of third party vendors. "I can unequivocally confirm that this individual is not an employee of the Opium Group," said Opium Group representative Vanessa Menkes in a written statement to CBS4.
I've been buggin' out ever since I heard this version of Lightworkswith Q-Tip and Talib Kweli conveniently titled, Lightworking. One of my favorite beats off Dilla's Donuts LP, this serves as another testament that J Dilla's music will live forever. Add this to one of many instrumentals on Donuts that have been re-released with vocals from some of the industry's finest.
The Abstract steps into this one like a certified pro, compliments the track like only a true veteran could. He just has a way of placing his rhymes around this absolutely hype beat. Talib's flow is alright on this one, but I think he sounded better on Testify with Styles P.
This version (and I believe Doom's re-rub) will be on Peanut Butter Wolf's forthcoming compilation for NBA 2k8, B-Ball Zombie War, out October 2nd. Styles P's Time Is Money is out now and available at most retailers.
Large large, huge ups to the great folks at AttorneySt.
I got another for y'all, not right now right now, but later later.
