Tsr Blog – Morrowind

By Morrow McLaughlin
Once upon a time, there was a game called Morrowind and then I pretty much lost my will to live in my own reality. I can’t carry an enchanted sword in My reality (not without a permit, anyway) and my last few attempts to walk on water were less than successful.
I hit rock bottom and had to go to Morrowind rehab where I talked about my feelings and was rewarded for not claiming to be a Redguard named Lotus…and then Oblivion happened, and then Fallout 3…and I’ve just given into the fact that I’m an escapist, gamer junkie. Have I briefly considered adult diapers for those days when there’s just too many boss fights for a proper bathroom break?…Of course not, that would be gross.
My newest, favoritist guilty pleasure is Mass Effect by Bioware, which I could play until »

Tracy Morgan & Spike Lee Team Up For Comedy Concert Film To Be Released in Theaters!
5 November 2009 2:47 AM, PST | The Humor Mill | See recent The Humor Mill news »
After a very long drought of comedy concert films being released in theaters, today we discovered-and confirmed via his twitter account- that comedian and actor Tracy Morgan will be filming a concert film with Director Spike Lee at Carnegie Hall this Friday.
Surprisingly, this news came to us rather quickly; especially after we discovered the news and reported yesterday that comedian DeRay Davis will be filming his concert comedy film sometime next month with Director John Singleton.
Anyway, it seems that GQ Magazine reported this last month and that news about Morgan’s performance has flown under the radar nationally as he has prepared for the film and is currently on a book tour. We hear that Morgan was extremely brief about his plans for Friday but is very excited about this upcoming performance.
Morgan, currently on NBC’s 30 Rock has written a book titled, "I Am The New Black »

John Singleton Tackles Comedy Concert Film With Comedian DeRay Davis
4 November 2009 2:56 AM, PST | The Humor Mill | See recent The Humor Mill news »
We have just discovered from our sources that director John Singleton has his next project and its not the A-Team as reports would have lead you at one time to believe- even though they are filming that movie now; but is a comedy concert film.
We discovered that Singleton has decided to film comedian DeRay Davis’ stand-up performance (yet to be titled) and release it nationally, and not as a DVD for the video store but as the first stand up film in years to be released theatrically. As of this writing, rumor has it that the film will be shot next month.
Davis, you may recall, recently featured his comedic performance in Shaq’s Comedy All Stars on Showtime and was in several films such as Imagine That (starring Eddie Murphy), Semi-Pro (starring Will Ferrell) and Code Name: The Cleaner (with Cedric The Entertainer) just to name a few »

Has The A-Team Found Its B. A.?
7 September 2009 11:53 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Joe Carnahan's A-Team is currently filming in Vancouver, with Liam Neeson behind the cigar as Hannibal Smith and Bradley Cooper in the Corvette as Templeton "Faceman" Peck. No word yet on a howlin' mad Murdoch, but The Vancouver Sun is reporting that the newest set arrival is Ultimate Fighting champion Rampage Jackson, donning Mr T's bling as Bosco "B. A." Baracus.Casting rumours around the role have been rife, with Ving Rhames, Common and The Game all at one time or another said to be in the running. But Jackson's name was being touted as early as when John Singleton was attached to direct. A mixed martial artist, Rampage (real name Quinton Ramone Jackson) is a former holder of the Ufc's light-heavyweight title and is set to be a coach on the tenth season of reality show The Ultimate Fighter. He was to fight Rashad Evans at a Ufc event in December, »
Rampage Jackson to Star as B.A. Baracus in 'The A-Team'
7 September 2009 11:11 PM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Quinton Jackson, aka Rampage Jackson, may well be the new B.A. Baracus in "The A-Team". Despite earlier denial from Rampage's manager over his possible role as B.A., the Vancouver Sun indicated that the former Ufc world lightweight champion will indeed take on the role once made famous by Mr. T.
The Vancouver Sun reported that Rampage has been spotted in and around Vancouver where the filming of the TV adaptation is set to take place. Noting that the fighter was in Vancouver on August 19 to discuss the role with producer, it further claimed that Rampage's name has been removed from the Ufc 107 card where he was set to face Sugar Rashad Evans in an Ultimate Fighter finale showdown.
Rampage had been linked to this role when John Singleton was attached to direct the movie project. In late August 2008, MTV has confirmed that he has not been cast as the chain-wearing character. »

Ufc Fighter Rampage Jackson is the A-Team’s New B.A. Baracus
7 September 2009 5:36 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
More Mma fighters are invading your action movies. We just had the report that female fighter Gina Carano would be starring in Steven Soderbergh's next film. Now there is a credible report that former Ufc champ Rampage Jackson, tagged for the role over a year ago, has arrived in Vancouver, where he'll spend the next six weeks sporting a mohawk and gold chains as The A-Team's resident malcontent mechanic B.A. Baracus. The role is a loaded one, as it broke Mr. T into global superstardom during the show's original run from 1983 to 1987. The Vancouver Sun reports now that Rampage Jackson (real name: Quinton Ramone Jackson) was just recently cast in the film, after a high-profile string of rumors had pegged nearly every possible African-American actor or celebrity with the proper build to join the film.When John Singleton was directing the film there was a lot of »

Ten Directors Share Fond Memories of the Lacma
3 September 2009 9:03 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
James Gray (Two Lovers) remembers going to see Walter Murch talking about his groundbreaking sound and editing work on The Conversation. John Landis (An American Werewolf in London) remembers seeing the original King Kong, a "life-changing experience." Allison Anders (Gas Food Lodging) remembers seeing an obscure Bette Davis movie with a packed house. Rian Johnson (Brick) one time just simply walked in without even knowing what was playing (it turned out to be Fellini's And the Ship Sails On). Those four, plus six other directors, shared their feelings with the Los Angeles Times on the uncertain fate of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and especially its beloved Bing Theater.
But some of the others aren't in the mood for reminiscing. John Singleton (Boyz N the Hood) says, "seeing a film like How Green Was My Valley and Duel in the Sun on the wide screen is a whole other thing. »

Brian J. White Nominates Himself for 'Luke Cage'
22 August 2009 9:20 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Another Marvel character will get his day in the cineplex in 2011, when Luke Cage comes to theaters. John Singleton is loosely tied to the project as the director and Tyrese Gibson is even more loosely connected as Cage, a New York-based crimefighter blessed with superhuman strength. Unlike Albert Pujols, there's no reason to assume Cage is juiced.
He's basically as strong as you'd need him to be; Marvel.com says he can lift 25 tons, which, as you can imagine, comes in really handy in a fight. Cage has been affiliated with a number of Marvel groups over the years, and is linked to with Daredevil. We don't know yet exactly what ground the movie will cover.
Football player-turned actor Brian J. White has now thrown his hat into the ring, even though Tyrese is probably a better fit physically and a more well-known name. “I think I have the skill-set" White told Moviehole this week. »

Brian J. White Wants Luke Cage Role
22 August 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Over two years ago, Tyrese Gibson revealed that a script for a Luke Cage feature film was being written and that he and director John Singleton (Boyz n the Hood, Four Brothers) were on standby to begin working on the project. Obviously nothing has happened. Now, actor/former NFL player Brian J. White (Doa: Dead or Alive, Fighting) has revealed that he would love to be considered for the lead in a Cage film, if it ever gets off the ground. "I would love to be Luke Cage," he told Moviehole. "I've been saying it over and over again in the press for years! Those are the roles - Green Lantern, Green Hornet, Luke Cage. There's some other graphic novels . some horror ones . that I also like, but I really would love to do Luke Cage." He continued: "I think I have the skill-set. Like Iron Man, you have to »

Lost’s Mr. Eko Could Be Marvel’s Black Panther
27 July 2009 10:52 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
"We're talking to Marvel about Black Panther," former Lost star Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje told MTV News at Comic-Con this past weekend. "This is the first round, so you know, hopefully they'll look at G.I. Joe and see the potential. But it's about time we have a black superhero, isn't it?" It is about time, Mr. Eko. And Marvel Studios has in their grasp a great potential starting point for launching a black superhero into the mainstream. Black Panther was one of the first modern black superheroes in comics, penned first in 1966 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The head of state of the Panther tribe in the African nation of Wakanda, the Black Panther uses a heart-shaped herb that grants its user enhanced strength, agility and perception, much like the large feline upon which his costume is based. The modern day Black Panther, known as T'Challa, joined up with The Avengers for a period of time and »

Yeah. You’re right. This isn’t movie news, or related at all to movies… well, except in the beginning while he’s talking about allegedly working with John Singleton on some unknown movie. But, this is so awkwardly hilarious I just couldn’t help but post this to share after seeing it featured on last night’s episode of ‘Attack of the Show’. Enjoy…

Christian Bale's Rollercoaster Career
4 July 2009 7:02 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
From Pacman to Public Enemies, he's had more ups and downs than most other actors of his generation. Christian Bale has careened between extreme highs and deep lows, in the view of the folks at MovieFill, and they decided that a rollercoaster was the most apt visual metaphor for his career. A reduced-size version can be seen above.
They squeeze most of his films into the chart, though they left out a few. Before his sensational role in Mary Harron's American Psycho, he was very appealing in Metroland and got good notices in Todd Haynes' Velvet Goldmine; pre-Batman Begins / The Dark Knight, he was fun to watch as a frisky villain in John Singleton's Shaft and an uptight, would-be psychiatrist in Laurel Canyon. I don't agree with every notation in the chart. Harsh Times, for example, is cited as one of his "lows," but Bale was riveting. »

The Game In Talks To Play B.A. Baracus in The A-Team?
2 July 2009 12:47 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
When John Singleton was developing an A-Team movie, he was talking to Ice Cube about playing B.A. Baracus. A year and a half later, Joe Carnahan has since been brought on board to get the project started, and BlackFilm is reporting that a new rapper has now become the front-runner for the mo-hawked soldier of fortune role originally played by Mr. T in the television series. The Game. The 29-year-old Grammy nominated rapper made his big screen debut in the not-well-received 2006 action-drama Waist Deep. He later had a small role in Street Kings. The announced cast includes Liam Neeson as John "Hannibal" Smith and Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Pack. For some reason I'm really not interested in an A-Team movie, which probably stems from my dislike for the series as a child. Also, I just think the show only worked in Regan-era (let's not get political...) But »

Michael Jackson Music Video Road Trip
1 July 2009 3:35 PM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
With the passing of Michael Jackson, we started to think of all of his great music videos and where exactly they were shot. Since everyone is camping out at either Neverland, his rented mansion in Holmby Hills or his parents estate in Encino, we thought we'd take fans on a road trip of some of the locations used in Michael Jackson's greatest videos. What are some of those great music videos, you ask? We've put together a small sampling of five of his best to check out here. Although he certainly didn't invent the medium of the music video, Jackson probably did as much as anyone to help redefine it -– by lavishing huge budgets on his more lengthy productions (that almost play like feature film shorts) and hiring feature film directors like Scorsese, John Singleton...
