Glimpses of Ontario 1942 Technicolor

Times have changed, in my opinion not always for the better, I prefer a more simple lifestyle. Yet it is amazing to see how far we have come and built such a great and beautiful province.

Delay...

As some of you may know, this blog was going to start filming some interviews in a studio.
It has been delayed, when will it start... hard to say, I would hope before the end of the summer.

Adam Copeland AKA "Edge" retires as WWE champion due to medical reasons...

I remember years ago in my early 20s wanting to go watch wrestling at the Sky dome and nobody would go with me. So I forgot about it and went to hang out with some college friends. None of these guys were into wrestling, I think they thought it was below them to watch such things. I didn’t care, I loved wrestling but I never bored them with details of the current story lines. I was shocked when one one guy asked us if we wanted to go watch wrestling! Some people didn’t even look his way, I was curious and had to ask why. He told me he knew one of the wrestlers and he was just starting out, he referred to him as Adam. I remember reading in the Toronto star wrestling column about Adam Copeland and they said with in a few years watch for this guy to be a major contender in the game.

They announce Edge is from Toronto but he is really from a small town called Orangeville, that is how this friend of mine new him, they worked together as teens in a grocery store. He told me Adam was a real hardcore wrestling fan ever since he knew him.

So now I had someone to talk wrestling with, well just Adam Copeland stories. I remember a bunch of us walking to a convenience store and picking up a WWF magazine with Edge and Christian with the titles on the cover and showing him. His eyes would widen and he would look dumbfounded and say things like "I can remember when he put me in headlocks"

As time went on, all the friends went there separate ways and I don’t know if my friend still followed Adam's illustrious career, as Adam won several titles including the World Heavyweight championship 11 times!

I had the chance to see Adam aka EDGE wrestle several times, he always was extremely entertaining and never had a boring match. I had read a few months back that he wanted to retire but in Toronto, maybe by next year. Unfortunately due to some several medical issues, he had to retire pretty much right away.

Very sad to hear, he was one of the most talented guys currently in the game.

Enjoy your ice cream dude!

It's my good pal Tina Sixx & the lovely Allison Wood's Birthday party and there are a bunch of awesome bands playing the festivities. I'm playing guitar alongside Tina in a one off reunion of the band Fresh Meat which is sure to be a blast.

Brand New Music Video for HEAVY METAL KINGS directed by Tom Vujcic for "REEL WOLF PRODUCTIONS"

HEAVY METAL KINGS is not a Canadian band but the video director is, Tom has done some serious videos for some serious artist.
Also... if you are at work or got kids around... not a good time to play it, language and some scenes are questionable. Im not hating on this, it is a great video, but your Boss may not think so!
Hype stuff!
Tom is one of the most gifted and growing directors in Toronto in my opinion, be on the look out!!
Another Banger dude, I will support you to the end!!

News from RATTAILFILMS...

This is my girlfriends and good friend Jim Primrose film company. I help out when I can by telling people about the company, getting people to come out, shoot videos and such.
I just got a update from Jim and my girlfriend confirmed it...


"Rattailfilms has been asked to shoot behind the scenes for the feature film, Silent Hill3D...."


That is pretty damn cool!


I know the last one was filmed mostly in Brantford Ontario, all I could find out so far was  "Production was delayed when a freak snowstorm hit the set in Cambridge, Ontario on 23 March 2011."
From what I have read is that principal photography has also started in Toronto.


My honest opinion on movies based on video games is pretty low, Street Fighter, Mario Brothers, Double Dragon plus many more were all terrible. I would say SILENT HILL is exempt from that list... I thought the movie was pretty freaky. You didn't even really have to play the game to enjoy this movie.
Looking forward to the movie but mostly looking forward to seeing Rattailfilms expanding and moving forward!
