John Lennon Sculpture Erected During ‘Imagine’ Tribute At Olympics Closing Ceremony Posted: 12 Aug 2012 07:10 PM PDT Today was the closing ceremony for the London 2012 Olympics, which saw performances by legendary British bands like Queen and The Who, as well as musical tributes to artists David Bowie, Pink Floyd, and the late John Lennon. A remastered version of the iconic video for the song "Imagine" was shown during the tribute to the former Beatle, while performers sang (and signed) along, while others erected a sculpture of John Lennon's face, including his trademark glasses [...]

Monty Python’s Eric Idle Sings ‘Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life’ At Olympics Closing Ceremony Posted: 12 Aug 2012 06:20 PM PDT It was just over two weeks ago since Mary Poppins Defeated Lord Voldemort and Queen Elizabeth II & James Bond Parachuted Into The Olympics Opening Ceremony, starting up the London 2012 Summer Games. And today, the London Summer Olympics came to a close, with performances by some of the most popular British artists, like George Michael, Annie Lennox, Queen, Oasis, The Who, and a reunion of The Spice Girls. And while British music was appropriately represented in the ceremony, so was British humor, thanks to Eric Idle of Monty Python fame. Idle showed up at the event ready to be shot out of a cannon, but when that didn't work out, the comedic actor, surrounded by performers dressed as nuns, led the crowd in a rendition of "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life," a tune from the comedy troupe's film Life Of Brian [...]

Comics Legend Joe Kubert Dead At 85 Posted: 12 Aug 2012 03:40 PM PDT Comics legend Joe Kubert, who was one of the most important artists and writers in comics history, helping to create Sgt. Rock for DC comics, as well as working for long periods on Hawkman, Tarzan, and many other books, has passed away today at the age of 85. Later in his career, Kubert worked on a number of non-fiction works, such as Fax from Sarajevo, Dong Xoai, Vietnam 1965, and more personal works such as Jew Gangster and Yossel. Kubert still remained active in the comics field, providing inks for his sons Adam and Andy's comics work. Kubert was born September 18, 1926 in southeast Poland. His family emigrated to Brooklyn, New York, when he was two months old. Kubert began working in comics at a very early age, and went on to attend Manhattan's High School of Music and Art. From there, he began work at many different companies during the early days of the industry, before reaching DC where he had his greatest success in the 50's and 60's [...]

How ‘Diablo III’ Patch 1.0.4 Will Change Your Gameplay Experience Posted: 12 Aug 2012 10:37 AM PDT Have you stopped playing Diablo III recently? You are likely not alone. I have an undying love for the mythos of Sanctuary, but I find it hard to load into my monk knowing I will be faced with very little chance of progression in Inferno difficulty. Well, with the Diablo III 1.0.4 patch details Blizzard recently released, there is salvation my friends. A quick overview [...]

Remembering The Late Godfather Actor John Cazale On His Birthday Posted: 12 Aug 2012 08:01 AM PDT Today marks the birthday of one of cinema's most influential actors, the late John Cazale, who, although he passed away almost 35 years ago, is still fondly remembered by his peers and moviegoers alike for having the distinction of appearing in some of the best remembered and well known movies of the 1970s, including The Godfather. Cazale's resume, although mercifully short and only spawns five films, still remains one of the most well rounded pedigrees of any actor before or since. Each of the films he appeared in either won or was nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award: The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, The Conversation, Dog Day Afternoon, and The Deer Hunter. Cazale played the slow, strangely confident, yet ultimately tragic "runt of the litter" Corleone brother Fredo in the first two Godfather films (also appearing posthumously in more ways than one in the third Godfather installment); he played Gene Hackman's assistant who helped with the paranoid, sly surveillance company that Hackman ran by the seat of his pants in The Conversation (all three aforementioned films were written or co-written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola); he was the dim-witted yet ruthless bank cohort to Al Pacino's main protagonist/antagonist in Dog Day Afternoon (directed by Sidney Lumet), and finally, was the third wheel to the group of tight friends in the intense and memorable Vietnam production The Deer Hunter (directed by Michael Cimino). In The Deer Hunter, released shortly after his death from bone cancer in 1978 at the young age of 42, Cazale clearly looks rather emaciated, but still gives the type of performance and characterization he was best remembered for in his brief career [...]
