A Predator reboot is in the works. Better yet, not only will Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, Grindhouse & Desperado) helm the project, but he’ll be doing so based on his own script.
I’ve seen it called “Predators” with an S, kind of like the second Alien was called Aliens with an S…..indicating that we’ll be dealing with more then one Predator this time around.
I typically really hate this trend of taking popular 80’s movies and remaking / rebooting them , but I’ll have to admit, this one has me kind of excited.
Rodriguez is basically one of the best directors out there, and when you give him an awesome franchise to build off of and total script control, I can see where this can turn out well. The fact that they are calling it a “reboot” helps as well. It doesnt’ sound like we’ll be seeing a strait re-make of the original with Schwarzenegger and friends.
More to come… (as I hear about it)
Are there real life superheros? Possibly…
I’ll let the content on the link below speak for itself:

It takes balls of steel to enter a ring with out any arms or legs. This guy stared humility in the face and spit at it. What a bad ass!
So I know many of you have probably already heard the devistating news that Atlanta will no longer be host to the Atlanta Steam Lingerie Football Team in it’s inaugural season this coming September. I’ve been meaning to write about this, but I’ve been pretty overcome with sorrow.
I figured i should go ahead and break the news to everyone who had not heard on a Monday since Monday’s suck already. Might as well get all the bad news out on the crappiest day of the week.
Evidently no one wanted to pony up and allow the girls to play in their stadium. The city that allowed mediocre crappy Arena League Football to play at both Phillips and Gwinnett Arena could not get any local facility to allow them to bring their slightly racy brand of football to the field. I still think they could make it happen in my backyard and I’ve sent the league an email about this but I have not heard from them yet. Looks like they have already decided to move on and are trying to find a home in Charlotte for the team now.
Way to go fellow ATLiens. Way to let my hopes and dreams fall to the way side. I mean aren’t we the reason the south is known as the Dirty South? Are we not the Dirty Dirty? The home of the Clairmont Lounge? This news coupled with the news that fine gentleman establishments on the south side of town will now have to force their dancers not to touch patrons or serve spirits has truly tarnished the Atl for me. Perhaps we will get the reputation as the “No Fun” city soon. Oh well, there is always the good time emporium that is the Oasis.
Former USC kicker Ryan Succup was named “Mr. Irrelevant” on Sunday when the KC Chiefs picked him with the last pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.
Succup joined fellow USC draftees Jared Cook (TE), Kenny McKinley (WR), Jasper Brinkley (ILB), Jamon Meredith (OT), Captain Munnerlyn (CB) and Stoney Woodson (CB) in making up South Carolina’s almost un-precedented NFL Draft Class of 7.
In case you’re keeping score, the “other USC,” Southern California, unleashed 11 of its players on the NFL via the draft this year. This is the top number from any school. Coming in at a distant 2nd place were the Gamecocks. However, the Gamecocks shared 2nd place with Oregon State and Ohio State, as both schools also sent 7 former students into the NFL on Sunday.
As for Succup, he’ll be honored at “Irrelevant Week” this June in Newport Beach, California. “Irrelevant Week” is an annual celebration of Mr. Irrelevant, which typically raises proceeds for local charities. It is at this celebration that Succup will receive his title/award for being selected as Mr. Irrelevant XXXIV.
