GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S NEW MONSTER FILM!

Guillermo del Toro, the filmmaking bad ass, is back with a new movie! A new trailer for eagerly-anticipated monster movie Pacific Rim has just been released.  

The new teaser was first shown at the WonderCon sci-fi convention in San Francisco in March. "This was originally intended for only WonderCon," del Toro writes on the trailer's YouTube page. "But after listening to so many of you asking for more of the movie online, I think it's time for me to show you more footage. Enjoy, my friends!"

Pacific Rim is the first film directed by del Toro since 2008's Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. The Mexican filmmaker's previous directorial efforts include Pan's Labyrinth and Blade II.

Del Toro has called Pacific Rim "a beautiful poem to giant monsters" inspired by classic Japanese monster movies like Godzilla. The film is set in the not-too-distant future and centres on a battle between giant robots operated by human soldiers and an incredibly powerful race of monsters that have emerged mysteriously from the ocean.

This is going to be so good!

LIAM GALLAGHER VS THE STONE ROSES

Liam Gallagher  has now pissed off the Stone Roses.  The Beady Eye man has made no secret of his love for the Manchester band, but Gallagher apparently overstepped the mark during a recent incident in Dubai. A source told The Sun: "It's all gone a bit sour recently with Liam and The Roses. There was an ugly incident in Dubai when Liam said a few things that were totally out of order. It didn't go down well at all. Ian, John and Reni are all low-profile lads and don't subscribe to aggro of any sort."

The source added: "They were also getting a little bit pissed off with him ballooning on the side of the stage every time they played a gig. He had to be escorted off at one show and put behind the mixing desk because he was making such a scene. He was then slung out of there for spilling beer on the desk. He was generally being a bit of a knob - and The Roses can't be arsed with the pantomime."

A spokesperson for The Stone Roses refused to comment on the matter but Liam's former Oasis bandmate Bonehead was skeptical of the reports. In an email to NME he wrote: "I wasn't in Dubai with Liam, I was in Barcelona with him for the first gig at the Razzmatazz, [he was] totally well behaved and a good night was had by all."

I guess some people never learn.

Our kid is still the shit though.... 

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD'S SCORES WITH 'I LOVE YOU'

Before we begin, this band's is stoooooopid!  Seriously, did they sit around throwing 

names and finally come up with: "Lets change neightborood to neighbourhood! Fuck 

yeah!" If hey did I am going to assume, because I like them, that they were really really 

stoned.

I love you, the debut album by the California based indie-pop band The Neighborhood 

turned the local band into one of the hottest break out indie acts of 2013. The band 

formed last year is bringing indie R&B to the mainstream.

The entire album consists of dark snarky lyrics that carry a comedic undertone.  ‘Afraid 

the first song on the record illustrates this when he sings:  “All my friends always lie to 

me…fuck you anyway, you make me want to scream”

‘Alleyways’ is a ghostly R&B jam that’s upbeat and echoes a fusion of British acts like 

Muse and Stereophonics. ‘Female Robbery’ is a seductive track where singer Jesse 

Rutherford, to be sent a felon to apiece his soul. The song is eerie with sexy synths and 

background yelps.

In ‘Let it Go’ Rutherford adopts a raspy rap vocal that flows through silky guitar tones. It 

opens with Rutherford voice slightly resonating Sublime’s Bradley Nowell then shifts to a 

defiant ethereal serenade.

‘Sweater Weather’ is clearly the most upbeat song of the album and fluctuates between 

dancey rhythms and a sensual lullaby.  It is always refreshing to hear a distinctive voice 

stand out from the indie music pool and it is safe to say that Rutherford is one of them. 

The singer manages make sexy sound humorous yet cool.  However, although their tunes 

are catchy and easy on the ears, their sound as a whole isn’t mind blowing,

The band has received much hype since they began last year and broke into the music 

scene flashing indie rock layered with hip-hop hued beats. Their front man is equipped 

with a background in rap, but is now clearly playing to the mainstream. They aren’t 

exactly mall rock, like Maroon 5, but they are also not pushing any boundaries.  Some say 

this band’s sound feels done to near-death already; the truth is that the dream-like hip-

hop this quintet offers is good, but has room to grow.

DAN AYKROYD ON NEW GHOSTBIUSTERS 3!

This information doesn’t have anything to do with music or local events, but it is definitely worth talking about. Anyone that grew up during the Ghostbusters era will understand why it is hella exciting that Dan Aykroyd just gave an update on the near-mythical Ghostbusters 3.

The new Ghostbusters flick has been stuck in so-called "development hell" for over a decade and Bill Murray has declined to reprise his key role as Dr Peter Venkman. Back in February (2013). That toally sucks! He’s a pivotal character, fek! 

Nevertheless the show must go on and Aykroyd has confirmed Ghostbusters 3 is still in the works, insisting the film's script is looking promising. "I feel re-encouraged, reinvigorated by the pages that I have seen. I know that we're expecting half of the screenplay to be completed very soon," he told ABC News. "It should be into production by the fall and be shooting by the new year. I won’t say anything, it's very exciting."

 

Aykroyd even gave a few geeky teasers regarding the film's premise, saying: "The Higgs boson and the particle theories, gluons and mesons - that really gives us a scientific base in terms of our fictional storytelling, to open up to another dimension and have something horrible come through."

Aykroyd and co-star Harold Ramis wrote the original 1984 Ghostbusters film and 1989's Ghostbusters II. However, the pair have apparently struggled to come up with a workable concept for the third movie and now Men In Black 3 writer Etan Cohen is believed to be drafting the script.
