Plastered Audience Member Attacks Comic Steve Brown in Comedy House

January 23, 2018 By Doyle Buehler Leave a Comment

Steve Brown incident

Comedian Steve Brown assaulted on Sunday evening on stage by rowdy attendee.

Comedian Steve Brown was recently involved in a brawl which took place the Decker Boulevard Comedy House. The eyewitnesses declared that a man riled up by Brown’s comments and in an advanced state of intoxication rose up from the table and attacked the comedian on stage. Several club customers were injured during the incident.

Steve Brown Hit with a Mic Stand and Stool

According to the official police report, the incident occurrent on Sunday night at The House of Comedy club. After consuming several alcoholic beverages at the club an individual, identified only as Marvin, became irritated by Brown’s facetious comments and attacked the comedian on stage.

The unknown assailant fled the scene before the authorities arrived. As always, the deputies are turning towards the public and asks citizens for information regarding the individual to call the authorities as soon as possible.

But what really happened that night at the House of Comedy? Tumika LaSha was one of the many audience members who witnessed Marvin’s rampage and even managed to capture the whole event on tape.

Apparently, the man came in carrying a big chip on his shoulder which he tried to drown in alcohol. LaSha said that throughout Brown’s performance, Marvin was fazed out, staring into a corner. Steve Brown observed the individual and asked if he hates the show.

Marvin stood silent. The comedian asked again and still could elicit no response. At one point, Marvin got up from his table, jumped over LaSha’s table and rushed to the scene where he attacked the comedian.

First, he tried to hit him in the face with the mic and when that didn’t, Marvin, who was also shirtless, lifted the mic’s heavy stand and hurled it towards Brown. The comedian ducked, and the stand hit some of the public members. Marvin fled before the authorities arrived.

The Premiere of Star Wars Episode VIII Sparks Theories for the Next Movie

December 17, 2017 By Carrie Davis Leave a Comment

Star Wars Episode VIII logo

Star Wars Episode VIII is out in the movie theaters

After a long wait, Star Wars Episode VIII is finally out, offering us a lot of unexpected turns and revelations. Since the fans’ favorite activity is to make suppositions and release theories, they have already started assuming what is going to happen in the currently-untitled Episode IX. Some of these theories have already gone viral and, of course, contain a lot of spoilers for The Last Jedi.

How will cope Kylo Ren with being the Supreme Leader?

One of the main events in Episode VIII was the death of First Order’s Supreme Leader Snoke at the hand of Kylo Ren. He had already started his quest to defeat the Rebels, after Rey refused his proposal to leave the past behind and rule the galaxy together.

Therefore, fans have started speculating how good of a leader would Kylo be. He is well-known for being impulsive, so ruling the First Order and the fight against the Rebellion might be a lot more difficult that he would have expected. Therefore, many fans think this will be his downfall.

Another major event in Episode VIII was the death of Luke Skywalker. This happened before he had the time to teach Rey the secrets of the Force, but her strength proved so big that she might not even need a teacher. However, Yoda has already returned as a Force ghost in this episode, so Luke might take the same form in Episode IX and continue to teach Rey.

Will Leia die in Episode IX?

Leia survived Episode VIII but, unfortunately, Carrie Fisher died at the end of last year. This leads to a logical deduction that she will die sometime during Episode IX, or maybe even before its action starts.  Lucasfilm said it won’t recreate Leia using CGI, but there still might be some footage left which can be introduced in the film. It’s unclear what will happen, so we’ll have to wait and see.

In the end, the question that keeps bothering us is the matter of Rey’s parentage. Kylo Ren described them as ‘nobodies’, but this story isn’t reliable at all. She has way too much power to be ‘unimportant’, as Kylo called her, so she might be Leia’s or maybe Luke’s daughter. Others say she might be related to Obi-Wan Kenobi, and finding out the truth will prove the revelation of Episode IX.

Russians Not Amused by Satire Targeting Stalin

October 17, 2017 By Dave Smith Leave a Comment

Joseph Stalin in 'The Death of Stalin'While in the West, Armando Iannucci’s satire on the communist dictator Joseph Stalin, ‘The Death of Stalin,’ has been showered with five-star reviews, in Russia, nobody finds it amusing.

The new satire describes the political infighting following Stalin’s death in 1953 which led to the ascent to power of Nikita Khrushchev and Lavrentiy Beria. In the film, Beria, who headed the Soviet secret police, is called a “sneaky little shit”.

While British experts praised the movie and rated it five stars, the Russians are not amused since the satire questions the leadership of Stalin ahead of the anniversary marking 100 years from the October Revolution, which brought communism to Russia.

Russian Critics Blast the Movie

One Russian lawmaker, Nikolai Starikov, noted that the death of a person is no laughing matter. Starikov, who is the author of a bestselling book about Stalin, called the late dictator “a great leader.” The lawmaker reminded the Brits that Stalin allied with the Great Britain in the war. He added that Russia would never do a movie that mocks a British monarch and deemed the artistic work an “unfriendly act” coming from the U.K.’s intellectual elite,

But Starikov did not end there. He believes that the satire is the result of an “anti-Russian information war” that seeks to discredit Soviet leaders.

Russia’s culture ministry couldn’t tell if the film will be banned in the country since the Brits have not applied for a license yet. The Russian distributor of the movie confirmed that it hasn’t submitted the license application to the ministry, but pledged to do so after the movie’s premiere in the U.K. late this week.

Several newspapers protested the movie’s screening, with one journalist calling is a “nasty sendup” set in place by foreigners who fail to understand Russian history. One official from the country’s culture ministry believe the satire is a “planned provocation”.

Emilia Clarke Made a Sudden Hair Color Change, Looking More Similar than Ever to Daenerys

September 22, 2017 By Carrie Davis Leave a Comment

Portrait of Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke dyed her hair blonde, raising many questions regarding the incoming GoT season

Emilia Clarke has taken all fans by surprise with a sudden change in her looks. This seems a bit suspicious, so all Game of Thrones enthusiasts have started making speculations on what this could mean for the fate of her character. They suspect the show will display a sudden twist of events, requiring Daenerys to switch from a long mane to shorter locks.

Emilia Clarke made a drastic change of looks

Emilia Clarke is a natural brunette and, for the portrayal of her beloved character Daenerys Targaryen, she had to wear a platinum blonde wig. This week, she surprised everybody with an Instagram photo, showing her freshly dyed hair in a shade suspiciously close to the one worn by her character.

Until now, the producers of the show didn’t ask Clarke to dye her hair, and the wig worked just fine. Suddenly, they seem to have allowed the actress to change her hair color and fit her character. However, all the chances are that they were the ones who asked her to do it. This might mean Daenerys will give up her braided locks and, instead, will display a much shorter hair.

What does this mean for the fate of Daenerys?

As the show progressed, Daenerys evolved from the long flowing hair to the intricate braids which appeared after her triumph over the Lannisters. This seems to be in accordance with the Dothraki tradition, which allowed warriors to display their victories through the length of their hair.

However, Emilia Clarke is sporting a pixie hairstyle, with no signs of luxurious locks. Could this mean Daenerys will be defeated in Season 8? This might also be a reference to Cersei Lannister, who became a true Mad Queen shortly after she had her hair cut, and had to go on the embarrassing Walk of Atonement.

Others say the short hair might come after Daenerys finds out about the true origin of Jon Snow, and his legitimate claim to the Iron Throne. However, these are only speculations, which makes the suspense even bigger, and the wait until the last season harder to bear.

First Black Powerpuff Girl Joins the Townsville Crime Squad

September 19, 2017 By Dave Smith Leave a Comment

Fourth Powerpuff GirlThe Fans of the “Powerpuff Girls” animated series had mixed feeling about the fourth addition to the team, Blisstina, a black crimefighter sporting teal hair. The show introduced the new recruit Sunday during a special “Power of Four” episode.

The episode didn’t do much fuss about her race, but her superpowers captivated even the most stubborn naysayers. The fans’ initial reaction was to believe Blisstina to be one of the girls’ imaginary friend. It is not the first time Bubbles has an invisible pal other girls cannot see.

The show unveiled that the new addition to the team is the result of the girls’ creator’s “perfect little girl” scientific experiment. However, Professor Utonium had hoped for the girl to be more stable than that. The Professor recalled that after a laboratory explosion he thought that the experiment was a failure. What’s more, the new Powerpuff girl was Mojo Jojo’s closest pal at the time he was still working for the researcher.

Cartoon Network Welcomes the Fourth Girl

The new character’s powers make her an indispensable member of the crime squad, even though Him has already included her in his evil plan. Cartoon Network introduced Blisstina to the series’ fans on Twitter:

Welcome to the family Bliss! ❤️💚💙💜 #PowerpuffGirls #Bliss pic.twitter.com/ZhDmI99LRG

— Cartoon Network (@cartoonnetwork) September 17, 2017

At the end of the “Power of Four,” the new girl leaves Townsville, but there is a hint she’d be back.

Powerpuff Girls fans recall that it is not that first time the series introduces a new member to the group. Between 1998 and 2005, it happened multiple times. For instance, in Season 2 of the original series, the trio tried to create a fourth sister (see the “Twisted Sister” episode). The experiment led to the creation of Bunny who died by the end of the episode.

In Season 5, Princess Morbucks joined the group as a Powerpuff Girl but was soon ousted when the girls found she lied about her background.

Joker-Harley Quinn Movie to Be Produced

August 27, 2017 By Kyle Mills Leave a Comment

Jared Leto and Margot Robbie will soon return to the roles of the Joker and Harley Quinn in a movie that is currently in development at Warner Brothers. Leto and Robbie will be reprising their characters from last year’s hit, Suicide Squad.

The movie will be part of the DC expanding universe with Glenn Ficarra and John Requa currently in final negotiations to direct. Ficarra and Requa also directed the film Crazy,Stupid,Love and the NBC drama This is Us.

The Joker and Harley Quinn were the most popular villains from Suicide Squad and fans are thrilled that there will be a movie about the two.

When asked to describe the currently untitled movie, one source referred to it as a

 “criminal love story.”

Another described it as

“When Harry Met Sally On Benzedrine.”

This film will follow after the Suicide squad sequel. It’s also been revealed that there will be a separate movie about the Joker which will not star Leto, that will be directed by Todd Philips, who directed “the Hangover”. Some fans have gone online to complain that we might wind up with Joker over exposure.

DC is working hard to compete against the successful movies based on the Marvel universe. Additional films are in development that have related story lines that fall outside of the established Superman and Batman stories. This summer’s hit film, “Wonder Woman” is an example. There will also be another movie, “The Batman” which will not star Ben Affleck.

The DC universe will continue its saga on November 17 with the release of Justice League, directed by Zack Snyder. The film will start Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Henry Caville as Superman, and Ben Affleck as Batman. It will also introduce Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, and Ezra Miller as the Flash.

Clues in Eastwatch Trailer You Should Pay Attention To

August 13, 2017 By Dave Smith Leave a Comment

Game of Thrones S.7 Ep. 5 TrailerGame of Thrones’s The Spoils of War episode left us with more questions than answers, but some clues we were able to spot in the Eastwatch trailer for Episode 5 could help us determine at least the fate of one favorite character.

It is unclear if Jaime Lannister is dead or not after tumbling into that lake, but the fifth episode moved the action farther north. Eastwatch is the castle that haunts Hound in his visions and the one that Jon send the Wildlings to at the debut of Season 7.

The trailer suggests that the white walkers may try to penetrate the Wall at Eastwatch which is located by the sea. Hound once said that “the waves are frozen” in his visions, but the line was left out from the show.

If the sea is frozen, the army of the dead could find a way to get around the Wall. We suspect that Jon will take a trip to Eastwatch to ensure that that doesn’t happen. He might get help from Dany too, if he can convince him first.

Fan Theories Ahead (Spoiler Alert!)

There are many fan theories circulating the Internet after the release of the trailer. Die-hard fans suggest that the 31-second clip contains valuable clues and spoilers.

For instance, Jamie could have survived the fall in the lake, and got captured by Daenerys. Tyrion could help him escape, which means that a reunion may be happening.

The trailer also shows a conspiracy of ravens leaving Winterfell. Ravens are the first animals Bran was able to tame in the book, so he might be using them to spy beyond the Wall. He might see that a huge army is approaching, as the Night King likely recruited more troops since Season 2.

In the trailer, we can get a glimpse at the army of the dead. In the center, there is a smaller band which may be white walkers, while the surrounding band must be old wights. White walkers may play the role of army officers and old wights must be the foot soldiers.

Henry Cavill Gets His Moustache Digitally Removed in the New Justice League Movie

July 26, 2017 By Carrie Davis Leave a Comment

Justice League actors at San Diego Comic Con

Warner Bros will remove Henry Cavill’s moustache using CGI

For two months, Warner Bros has been reshooting its top superhero movie, Justice League. Apart from the extra costs of rescheduling, which exceed $25 million, the studio is facing some other problems which might slow down the filming process. One of these would be Superman’s moustache.

Huge extra costs for Justice League reshooting

The Justice League stars, including Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, or Ben Affleck, keep travelling between Los Angeles, London, and many other locations to reshoot the superhero movie. This rescheduling does not come without trouble, as the movie studio has to face some challenges which make the work more difficult.

The reshooting has already lasted more than any other production schedules for other movies, causing some financial losses. Warner Bros has already spent more than $25 million for them. As a comparison, reshoots for other popular movies cost between $6 million and $10 million.

Henry Cavill has to have his moustache removed

Some of the Justice League stars are not working on other projects at the moment, but this isn’t the case for all of them. Henry Cavill, for example, has to switch between Justice League and Mission Impossible 6. One further problem would be the fact that the latter project required him to let his moustache grow.

Paramount, the studio which produces the sixth Mission Impossible movie, refuses to let Cavill shave his moustache for the Superman role he is going to play in Justice League. This is why Warner Bros will have to use CGI to remove it.

This couldn’t let the internet indifferent, as Superman’s moustache removal sparked a lot of reactions and commentaries. Most fans want it to be kept intact, as it might suit the character better. Some of them even provided photographic evidence from the comics that the superhero sometimes wore a moustache.

Unfortunately for them, the decision stays and the studio will digitally remove Superman’s facial hair. Apart from this, Justice League will also feature a new director, Joss Whedon. The actors have trust in him, and declared they were sure he was going to make a great director.

Surreal Even In Death: Dali Exhumed For Paternity Test

July 23, 2017 By Kyle Mills Leave a Comment

salvador dali by Allen Warren

Salvador Dali’s remains were exhumed as part of a controversial paternity test.

The art world suffered a shock in 2015. Pilar Abel Martinez, a Spanish psychic, claimed she is painter Salvador Dali’s secret daughter. Only last month, Martinez won the right to have Dali exhumed. Now, the authorities may conduct the proper DNA tests.

The Iconic Moustache is Still Intact

On Thursday, July 20th, authorities exhumed Salvador Dali’s remains from his resting place at the Dali Theater-Museum in Figueres, Spain. The Dali-Gala Foundation opposed the exhumation but there was no settlement regarding the appeal.  Both parties reached a compromise to begin the exhumation outside the working hours of the museum.

On Thursday, representatives from the Foundation, the Forensic Medical Institute and the lawyers of both parties entered Dali’s resting place under the dome of the museum. Authorities secured the area so no one would intervene.

With the help of a pulley, the authorities managed to remove the casket lid that weighs one ton. Coroners then collected the necessary samples including hair, teeth, and nails. The Foundation confirmed the authorities conducted the intervention with great attention so as to not disturb the rest of Dali’s remains. In addition, the secretary general of the Foundation declared that it was “exciting” seeing how well preserved Dali’s corpse was. His iconic mustache has still remained in the classic “ten-past-ten position”.

The Dali Foundation Disapproves of the Intervention

The representatives from the Gala-Dali Foundation were content with how authorities conducted the investigation. However, they still disapprove of the act. The Foundation maintains the fact that Martinez does not have the evidence to support her claim. Martinez has a notarized statement from a woman who claims that she was a friend of Abel’s mother and that the mother confessed Abel’s father was Salvador Dali. The Foundation added:

Before agreeing to such an invasive act as the exhumation of Salvador Dalí in a museum, the claimant Pilar Abel Martínez—as proposed by the Foundation and the Spanish State—should have been required to carry out a DNA test to compare her DNA with that of her legal father (deceased) or her brother, to thereby obtain all available evidence that she is not their daughter or sister.

Coroners will announce the results obtained after having Dali exhumed in early September, this year.

Megyn Kelly In Hot Water Over Controversial Interview with Alex Jones

June 15, 2017 By Dave Smith Leave a Comment

Megyn Kelly interviews PutinFormer Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has been widely criticized for her controversial interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones less than one month into her new position as NBC News correspondent.

On Tuesday, she issued a statement addressing the criticism, much of which came from the mainstream media who see the interview with a conspiracy-peddler unprofessional.

In that interview, Jones said he has evidence the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax staged by the U.S. government to take away people’s guns. Kelly wrote in her statement that she finds Jones’ theory “personally revolting”. She posted the statement just hours after the elementary school where the shooting occurred disinvited her.

Jones is the founder of Infowars, a conspiracy website with millions of followers which was behind other conspiracy theories such as 9/11 being staged by the CIA.

Megyn Kelly’s Rapid Fall from Grace

Once a media darling for often steering from Fox News’ conservative line, Kelly sees now the main stream media turning against her. A Washington Post correspondent labeled her interview with Jones “despicable”.

Plus, a recent interview with Russia president Vladimir Putin got a cold reception in the U.S. LA Times editor Lorraine Ali described Kelly as “not a great interviewer” in the wake of the interview in Moscow. Ali would have liked to see Kelly pressure Putin into answering some question on his country’s alleged interference in the U.S. elections.

New York Newsday deemed the interview a “rough start” for the freshly-appointed NBC News’ anchor’s career.

Kelly’s fall from grace with the mainstream media come just months after the New York Times praised her for her biting interviews with Republican officials. Last year, Vanity Fair called her “the brightest start” in the Fox News firmament.

As of recently the Daily Beast called her a “rank amateur” since she hasn’t been able to master the “art of the sit-down,” while The Chicago Tribune accused her of pulling off a “callous ratings grab” with her latest interviews.
