| $5 MP3 Album Deal: Cream ‘Goodbye’ Posted: 30 Oct 2012 08:00 PM PDT  Goodbye, the final original release by the Brtish hard rocking trio Cream, is now available on MP3 format from Amazon this month for only $5.00. Cream epitomized the term "supergroup" as their thunderous sounds via the lead guitar of Eric Clapton, and the bottom end scud attack of Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker (on bass/vocals and drums respectively) continue to thrill and inspire classic rock heads to this very day. By 1968, Cream was one of the biggest bands on both continents, with their nicely blended sonic mix of electric blues, rock and roll, and psychedelia. By 1969, the release of Goodbye became their swan song as a group. Even though the band found much success, internal tensions had a hard time keeping the three men together, let alone cordial. Goodbye is a mix of live and studio tracks, some well known: "Badge," "Politician," and "Sitting on Top of the World" and equally strong yet less remembered tracks like "Doing The Scrapyard Thing" and "What A Bringdown" round out the collection nicely. A fitting end to another one of Britain's A-list rock and roll groups from the class of the late 1960s. Browse all 100 albums on sale this month for only $5 each [...]      |

Not only is Fast and Furious on its way to a sixth film – possibly seventh depending on the success of course – but their success as helped the director come across projects like the David Henry Hwang adaptation Chinglish, and the semi-based on actual events film L.A. Riots. Now the director has inked a new deal which will make him attached to produce a Sci-fi comedy titled Subdivision for Universal. Lin will produce the pic through his production company Barnstorm Pictures. The film will be housed at Universal, which isn't surprising since Lin served as director for the last three Fast and Furious films. [...]      |

Moving Pictures is Rush's Led Zeppelin IV, their Dark Side of the Moon.

| Disney Acquires Lucasfilm For $4.05 Billion; Plans To Release ‘Star Wars: Episode 7′ In 2015 Posted: 30 Oct 2012 03:04 PM PDT  In 2009, Disney shocked the world by purchasing Marvel Comics. While many were worried that the comic property would be Disneyfied, in the years that the Mouse House has owned it, nothing has really changed. Now Disney is making yet another large acquisition that no one could have ever seen coming. Disney has bought Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion. This is the biggest thing to happen to the studio since Alan Horn took over the motion picture department. But this also means that there will be some corporate restructuring for Lucasfilm. According to THR, current co-chair Kathleen Kennedy will be demoted to president of the studio. However she will serve as the executive producer of the long-awaited Star Wars: Episode VII, which is scheduled to be released some time in 2015. [...]      |
| Comic Review: MacGyver: Fugitive Gauntlet #1 Posted: 30 Oct 2012 01:00 PM PDT  MacGyver: Fugitive Gauntlet #1 Written by Tony Lee & Lee David Zlotoff Pencils & Inks by Will Sliney Colors by Ciaran Lucas Letters by Aditya Bidikar Cover by Andie Tong & Ciaran Lucas Image Comics Release Date: October 10, 2012 Cover Price: $3.50 In the world of licensed comics, there's the good, the bad, and the awesome. Sometimes a writer loves the franchise a little TOO much, and more often than not, that leads to bad comics. In other cases, the writer knows NOTHING about the franchise and that leads to a lack of proper characterization and messy story lines. Then, there's cases where the creative team is dead on perfect for the property and everything meshes into a beautiful blend of a great story, awesome art and it makes pretty much the perfectly enjoyable comic book. Thankfully, MacGyer #1 is that comic. [...]      |
