TOO EARLY? SEPTEMBER CHILL IS IN THE AIR!


TOO EARLY? SEPTEMBER CHILL IS IN THE AIR!

Nikki Finke questions "Instascam?" Justin Bieber may outrage BAT fans with new picture

Horror!
Outrage!
Confusion!
Chances are that Justin Bieber will not be cast as the next ROBIN in the a BATMAN vs SUPERMAN adventure, but as we saw with the Ben Affleck choice, anything as possible.

Calling Joel Schmuacher. Bring the nipples for the bat suit.

Nikki Finke sparked some news when she took notice that Justin Bieber instagrammed (is that a new modern verb?) a photograph of a script of BATMAN VS SUPERMAN.. his caption reads '#robin?'

The practical joke could be on us.. Bieber may be auditioning for the role of a villain--perhaps the one which would suit him best would be the Riddler, since we don't know his true gender, or Harley Quinn, the Joker's girlfriend ..

I would highly doubt anyone in a right mind would cast Beebs in a Frank Miller and Klaus Janson story..

Then again. Affleck.

But Nikki Finke correctly points out in her article
The accompanying comments are all over the map, of course, ranging from “Yusssss!” and “OMFG JUSTIN DREW BIEBER BRB DYING” to “Stick with music & little kids stuff” and some entirely unprintable things. But look closely at that picture — doesn’t it look a wee bit, shall we say, enhanced? Like maybe something out of a comic book? Decide for yourself if this is real or not. Then, please, move on with your lives. 
I think if Bieber is chosen, it's a White House petition that Obama may just allow to go forward...

TIME MAG AND COASTGAB: FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS..

Just days away from Art Bell's DARK MATTER premiering on Sirius XM radio, controversy is heating up on the message board Bellgab, formerly CoastGab.. 

As reported on the HORROR REPORT, George Noory himself took to the message board weeks ago to confront the 'haters.' .. But things have become more personal since Noory had David Oates appear on his program Coast to Coast AM--the same Oates who Art Bell sued for defamation of character over a decade ago..

Among the comments Noory posted on the message board
Folks I have never lied to any of you--its something I just don't do. I sent a lengthy email  to Art this afternoon.I trust he got it.....and tells you so. 
The contents were for his eyes only
Believe what you want folks..youve been taking potshots at me for years. So there is NOTHING I could say or do...to change your minds.I did make one mistake. Coming to post here thinking it would help and make a difference.Be well....move on.Life is too short.Im outta here 
Noory has been repeatedly barraged with criticism since deciding to post on Bellgab.. Noory dignified some comments with responses, others not.. But the most recent message Noory left, "Im [sic] outta here," implied that perhaps Noory was done posting.

When users became critical as to whether Noory was taking shots at Bell, the current Coast host without the most said, 
He KNOWS it was  not a shot at him...for 11 years I have done everything I could for him. Things you aren't even aware of...which includes defending him from that fraudulent philipino letter, supporting him at public events, getting an immigration attorney for his new wife...understanding his grief. Why in God's name would I want nothing but the best and happiness for him.Good grief. IT WAS SETTLED..no one...and I mean NO ONE told us other wise.
And enter Art Bell, who has occasionally posted on the site and decided to again on September 10--saying many things, among which a comment that he was still waiting for Noory's supposed email to Mindspring.. Bell wrotes fans on the message board, 

Hello all, I have NO email from George, at least nothing today and nothing that relates to Oates at all.There are several things I do not understand. I said I no longer hold a grudge with respect to Oates and that is true, that kind of thing will make you sick but I will NEVER forget or forgive. Many of you remember, or if not, know what was said now as does George, he Twitted that he plans to have him on again, really?
I thought that there was possibly a chance that George did not know the history, I no longer believe that.  At this point it no longer matters, it's done. I think coincidence occurs all the time, George I think has a contrary view, to be sure this was a monster one. I did ban Oates for life. If George does not respect that after reading what Oates said about me then there is nothing left for me to say about George.
Bell  further wrote a subsequent message, 
 More to clear up, then to bed.
1. George got a Atty for me? First I had heard of that. Karen Jackson is the one who got it done  back here in Pahrump through a congressman almost 3 Years ago.
2. I indeed can guess who wrote that awful letter (Not George). 3. I still do not have that email, please feel free to resend.
4. Thank you for understanding my loss of Ramona
5. When somebody calls you a Child Molester and claims you were arrested for Porno, you do not forget and you do not forgive, that I    truly hope you never have to find out for yourself.
    Look, this thing is over because it is a done deal, I had not thought for Years of any of this until Thursday, as of now I would like    to let it slide into history again. It was a shock but I will deal with it. Public figures have to develop thick skin, however I am older    now and I think mine is thinning a bit. night all....

And while the war of words gets amplified with the help of free form text from both Bell and Noory themselves, TIME MAGAZINE has taken notice to Bell's return in its newest issue..
The September  23  issue also has a bombshell: The apparent return  of Ross Mitchell as the voice for DARK MATTER.. More:

TIME reports: "... he's [Bell] even recruited the old Coast announcer to set the mood."MORE..

TIME QUOTES ART BELL ON PREMIERE RADIO: "It's not personal. It's just an institutional hatred. I really hate them."

TIME WRITES: 

"He traded his Marlboro Lights for electronic cigarettes, and his 29-year-old fourth wife Airyn and their 6-year-old daughter Asia keep him spry. He looks like a droopier version of his 1990s self--not a bad outcome given the hours he keeps. (Bell never goes to bed before 2 a.m.) He says his time abroad rejuvenated him too. He moved to Manila to marry Airyn in 2006, three months after his wife's unexpected death from an asthma attack."
As to whether he will return with a vengeance to a whimper: TIME writes.  
But more than a decade away can sow doubts, even among the best. "Memories grow fond over time," Bell says, fretting over his return. "My listeners may remember me being better than I was." 
On salary and politics:
Though the deal was modest by his standards--Bell says he'll earn $75,000 annually, plus half of the show's profits for three years--he was drawn by the freedom it offered: few commercial breaks, total creative control and the chance to prove that his brand of weird still has a following among America's overworked and underslept.
The audience for conspiracies and antigovernment screeds is vast, but Bell says he doesn't want them. "George can keep them," Bell says with a smile. He's after a different demographic: "The sane fringe." 
And with that, the autumn nights will heat up.. competition for Noory was discounted with original announcements of Art Bell's return--he was set to broadcast until 10pm PDT, just in time for Noory's program to open.
But ....
Perhaps things have changed..Bell is going to  have free reign to broadcast--either his show will repeat or he will stay on the air live as long as he wants..
It's yet to be seen how long Bell wants to stay on the air each day.. "My listeners may remember me being better than I was." 
Whether Bell is just being humble about his own radio personality of the past, they know full well how bad things became once he left.. Noory and company seem to meander late into the night, offering shows without context and subjects without constraints..
Bell may be right: People get sentimental about the past, no matter how bad the 'worst of times' were. However, the worst of times have come to late night radio--and perhaps DARK MATTER can help bring back some magic..

Red white and confused.. What does a new generation know of 9/11?

I debated with myself just a bit as to whether or not I would write a posting concerning the anniversary of September 11, 2001 attacks on America.. But as I did my yearly ritual of watching at least 20 minutes of news coverage from that day, I felt the urge to put one thought out there.. The thought was inspired not only by the obligatory depression that ensues after watching a dramatic event play out on then-live TV, but it was coupled this year by my son's daycare requesting that he and other students wear red white and blue today..
I was childless and in a whole different personal place in 2001..
Changes occurred.
Now I just wonder to myself, so many years now after 9/11 occurred, what could kids of today possibly think of all this?

My son is only a little over two and has no clue why he's wearing his red Angry Birds shirt with his white and blue shorts.. He did not live through that day, unless reincarnation really does happen..

There are a lot of kids who did not live through that day and will never know what it meant to live through the first few hours of the beginning of a whole new world..

From the time the news networks gather their thoughts and went to live special report programming for what seemed like 100 hours straight, everything certainly did change.

The teenagers of today were too young to truly recall the horror of then, and the early 20-year-old crowd now probably has distinct memories of being picked up at school by their parents or watching some old television set with live streaming coverage of planes hitting buildings.. But I dare say that it is my generation, the folks who are now about 30 through 35 years old, that felt the biggest impact of change.. Being 21 and suddenly realizing that you're really not safe in America, and that war and modern hate exists is quite dramatic..

I actually believe that to this day, many people still will feel the same emotions swell inside them when they watch the videos from 12 years back.. They will recall the exact whereabouts of their bodily condition, and they will also remember their mental stability fluctuating for hours as we watched America enter the 21st century of war..

On September 11 last year an embassy in Libya fell victim to attack, and this year September 11 falls a day after the president addressed the nation about the prospects of another war in Syria..

War
War
War
...war. All this war and not a drop to drink

So I will not belabor the point, or write an endless amount of words about today's anniversary-- you can certainly read my past posts throughout the past 12 years to get enough melancholy September 11 propaganda for me..

But I would just say that as time passes and we look in the mirror at our aging faces, what story lurks in your eyes? Even in your own personal life think of the people that you lost to disease or death over the past 12 years.. Think of the monumental changes in technology that occurred in just the past two years. I bet you can still however, even with all of this change, recall those very specific emotions you felt around 9 AM on September 11, 2001..

If you were here to live through them of course..

Putin on the ritz: The president addresses the nation

There are a few thoughts going around my head tonight after watching Pres. Obama addressed the nation.
The first thing I am struck by is probably quite dumb to even mention, but it bothers me: He never sits at the desk in the Oval Office to address us, instead he typically stands at a podium.. Bush did this two on a few occasions, but I just don't like it.. To me that large desk with those bland drapes behind him and the photographs of his wife and children provide a more commanding platform for a leader to address the people..

But that really is not what mattered tonight..

We sure have come along way since 9/11/2001, and along way since Benghazi last 9/11..

Somehow Vladimir the Impaler Putin has managed to broker some form of a diplomatic solution to Syria, has backed Barack Obama into a strange corner, and has delayed a US strike on that nation..

Tonight on CNN, Andrew Sullivan told Anderson Cooper that the Obama speech persuaded him to back war.. Or whatever it is we would call it..

I do not know if it feels like the run-up to war or not, as suddenly the table has turned. The speech tonight that Obama gave was awkward and strange..

What seemed like a sure bet only a day ago suddenly turned into a doubtful course of action throughout the past 24 hours thanks to mother Russia..

No word from Vlad on what Edward Snowden thanks, I am sure the powers that be know what he thinks.

Meanwhile, the leader of the free world has told us to download videos and watch children be killed by chemical weapons.

What a strange, creepy, and truly frightening world we live in..

President Obama has announced tonight in an address to then nation that a delay to strike Syria will be delayed.. and that he will pursue diplomatic angles with Vladimir Putin

Amazing foreign policy developments over the past 24 hours--and it appears Russia is steering the global ship..

The state of our current foreign policy

Michelle Obama does not want another war..
Neither may Congress.
But if they vote no we may still go to war.
Putin may save the world.

I'm confused.
Obama addresses the national confusion tomorrow.....

Arsenio Hall is back. Britney Spears is back. Poltergeist is being filmed. WHAT THE HELL YEAR IS THIS!? A Monday morning post-opening-day-of-football update

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 9 2013

I often forget the year.. the month.. the day. Lately I forget the minute. Life is confusing enough, but with headlines like Arsenio Hall being back after almost two decades full, and Britney Spears being back, bitches, it's easy to neglect your calender and think you're still in the last century. With some help, and some worrisome headlines, you're about to get zoomed into the past, present, and the future.. all in one Monday morning update. Good day all, read them and weep..
There was a ton of news last night I wanted to get to, but never found the time. But no worry for me, it was ...FOOTBALL SUNDAY!
...and a war is coming.
What matters to you more?

Some Syrian morning:
CNN receives and shows Syria horror videos of the chemical attack, with men, women, and children shirtless and convulsing on the floor dying, while panic and screams in the background are occurring.. Sure, the media doesn't play sides.
The 'rebels' take Christian village in Syria..
Assad has given his first interview since the chemical attack happened, with Charlie Rose.. he denied the chemical attack was conducted at his request, he said the United States had no evidence of it being his government.. and he said he would retaliate if attacked..
The Obama Administration has denied AP's call to release Syria evidence..
TIME TABLE: John Kerry is giving Assad one week to 'turn in' chemical weapons..


Mrs. Graham confronts war-weary South Carolinians on Syria .. and threatens that his state could be hit by a nuclear strike!


Tokyo's 2020 Radiation Olympics


Remember the Marine's who urinated on dead Taliban fighters and stupidly put it online? The Marine Corps has dropped case..

This is all becoming very old news (sadly it's not making anyone concerned anymore): The NSA has the ability to tap into the personal information on your smartphone.. Oh, I am sure power will never be abused..

Rumors and fears over the November 13 simulated power outage drill..

A new Twitter program can map a nation's mood..

107-year-old man killed in shootout with police..

17 children injured when festival ride suddenly stops..

Suntory Beverage & Food Ltd. has agreed to acquire GlaxoSmithKline PLC's drinks brands Lucozade and Ribena for $2.1 billion in a deal that would allow it to beef up its presence in Europe and tap emerging markets such as Africa..


THE PORN INDUSTRY HAS SOME NEW CONCERNS AS A FOURTH ACTOR IS CONFIRMED HIV POSITIVE..


A Christian website that often questions and slams movies over content is turning to the pigskin: Should Christians watch football, they ask.. but don't those football players always thank God after their victory dance and touchdown..?
I am pretty sure Jesus would be a Raiders fan.


the New York POST reports that RFK's secret diary (obviously now not a secret) will make Al Shapron, Jesse Jackson, and Governor Cuomo angry.. Apparently he also had a whole part dedicated to his adultery, and 37 women had scored from 1 to 10..

4-year-old dies after brain-eating amoeba infection..


Dennis Rodman says that Lil Kim UN is the father of a baby girl.. And she'd be perhaps the only lucky North Korean girl, someone born in luxury instead of deplorable poverty.. someone who can be healthy, instead of suffering in rape camps or torture prisons, working until dying at a young life. Yes, Kim Jong Un, congrats. Will Dennis Rodman be the Godfather?

Mysterious actions of Chinese satellites have experts wondering what the nation is truly doing in space..


She's just being Miley: Cyrus virus can't stop twerking, this time doing it on a German TV show with 'little adults'.. I think the bigger story is that Germany has an show of 'little adults'..


Britney's back, bitches..


Lady Gaga in hiding--behind weird mask


Jeff Langum can boast: His beard is number 1

RIDDICK update: Weak but number 1..

Wentworth Miller says he tried committing suicide before revealing he was gay..


Arsenio Hall back to talk show circuit Monday night .. after being away for 19 years..

Paper: Too few movies are good at horror..


Remake of POLTERGEIST being shot.. I am still immensely angry that classic GREAT movies are being remade--films that have no need to be redone again. It was one thing when Rob Zombie soaked Halloween with gore and blood.. but POLTERGEIST? This movie is in a class by itself--spiritual, emotional, deeply horrific... and now someone is coming along and thinking they could do better than Spielberg...Gil Keenan is no Spielberg.
