Letters from 'The Undertaker from Down Under'
and so much more!
Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger (born July 30, 1947) is an Austrian-American former professional bodybuilder,
But How big was he...really.
We have always depicted Arnold as somewhat really tall, how can we not? After Predator, Terminator and the Classic Kindergarten Cop He is always that Tall bad-ass that will intimidate anyone and poops on your party.
What we are meant to believe:
The God-Like Figure, Tall and strong with the ability to make women bow down in his greatness
The Reality:
He is a MIDGET!
Mind you, this is at his absolute 'Peak', this is not Photoshopped or some soft of trick. Compared to Andre' "the Giant" Arnold is a midget.. My mind is suddenly spinning with confusion. Why would they make such an icon to be bigger than what he really is.. Is it a Hollywood thing? maybe that's why Arnold was never in the ring- He just looks so ridiculous!
Arnold's Height History
His official height of 6’2″ (1.88 m) has been brought into question by several articles. In his bodybuilding days in the late 1960s, he was measured to be 6’1.5″ (1.87 m), a height confirmed by his fellow bodybuilders.However, in 1988 both the Daily Mail and Time Out magazine mentioned that Schwarzenegger appeared noticeably shorter. More recently, before running for Governor, Schwarzenegger’s height was once again questioned in an article by the Chicago Reader. As Governor, Schwarzenegger engaged in a light-hearted exchange with Assemblyman Herb Wesson over their heights. At one point Wesson made an unsuccessful attempt to, in his own words, “settle this once and for all and find out how tall he is” by using a tailor’s tape measure on the Governor. Schwarzenegger retaliated by placing a pillow stitched with the words “Need a lift?” on the five-foot-five inch (165 cm) Wesson’s chair before a negotiating session in his office. Bob Mulholland also claimed Arnold was 5’10″ (1.78 m) and that he wore risers in his boots. The debate on Schwarzenegger’s height has spawned a website solely dedicated to the issue, and continues to be one of life greatest mysteries!

"Australia Day"
(previously known as Anniversary Day, Foundation Day, and ANA Day) is the official national day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, the date commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788 and the proclamation at that time of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of New Holland.
It's not that often when I get to celebrate a national holiday, Alright, on the 4th of July I hang an american flag out the window of my car and eat candy corn all night until I'm sick. But Australia really doesn't celebrate it as much as it should, at least what it stands for anyway. These days Australia day is another excuse to get drunk, have a typical Aussie BBQ with over-cooked cheap sausages on white bread covered in tomato sauce and kick a footy around the front street trying to hit cars. The real crazy ones take off their shirts, cover their beer belly's in green and yellow paint and yell at passers by. Unfortunately the chicks never do this, otherwise I would have a blast!
I;m just glad that this year the stores are covered with Aussie garbage to buy and trying their best efforts to get people into it a little bit more, rather than contemplating to change that date of the event or protest over it.
You can read all about the history at( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Day)
So today, for the very first time we are going to celebrate Australia Day, the modern way- by the internet. Check out the amazing downloads, and other goodies for your pleasure... crack open a can of fosters, put on your stubbies and thongs because soon you can almost smell the Vegemite from your screens!
It's Aussie, It's classic and although its actually about visiting a pub that the band used to call "Hell", it still has given me enough reason to drive like a maniac at 3am driving interstate. It's a dirty rotten shame that the radio has plugged it too many times and called it mainstream. But the media is another shithead I will never trust and I refuse it to ruin another band for me. Pump it up! and if you love it - make sure to download my Aussie Rock compilation in 'download of the week', you will love everything in it!
I know, Sometimes it's a little hard to understand what we are talking about. Hell, I think that Australia has a language all in it's own. Even watched the first season of "Prisoner in cell block H"?, I honestly believe that every american needs an Aussie translator to see that show.
So To help everyone out Here is an online simple Dictionary:

BUSH-TUCKER TIME! Do you wan tot know the Difference between an American Hot dog, and an Australian Hot dog? I'll do you one better, I will even give you a few Aussie recipes that you can try at home..these are real easy.
Australian VS.American
Pretty easy to spot the difference, so if you wan to try out an Aussie snag from anywhere in the world..
(I know that kangaroo sausages are then out of the question, but they do taste great with a lot of great condiments) so for everyone who ever wanted to know, then this is the most easiest recipe on: How to make a Classic Aussie "Hot dog"/"Snag"
Ingredients:
1. The cheapest sausages you can find. The kind that have a tough skin, (any meat filling you wish)
2. White Bread
3. Tomato sauce (any kind) or equivalent sauce/ketchup
4. Sliced Onions, (brown or white) (optional)
Method:
1. Using a BBQ, skittet or similar cook the sausages until done. Then continue to cook the sasages until brown and tough, there is no such thing as 'overcooked' when making an Aussie snag
While cooking the snag, whack on some sliced onions and cook until transparent, and you don't want these babies to burn!
2. put each sausage in a piece of white bread, placed from corner to corner to easily fold the bread around it.
3. top with a lot of Tomato sauce and onions (onions are optional, depending on taste).
4. enjoy! :)

Because 10 Wasn't enough:
Screw IMDB, Yahoo Answers and search engines, I have lived and breathed in this country long enough to have endured endless hours of Australian Films. and YES- "Strictly Ballroom" is the Aussie knock-off for "Dirty Dancing". There are of-course ones that stick out from the crowd and are not to missed out on. Whenever you like Aussie cinema or not these films will do something for you. So I give to you The top Aussie Films to NOT miss out on (in no specific order):
MAD MAX (1979) & MAD MAX 2: The Road Warrior (1981)
In a dystopic future Australia, a vicious biker gang murder a cop's family and make his fight with them personal. You Cannot just watch one of these, marathon them together in one night to see classic Action from one of the most iconic post-apocalyptic films in history, and of-course to see Mel Gibson in his younger, tight pants days. The cars alone are worth the watch.
Copper (2000)
Chopper tells the intense story of Mark "Chopper" Read, a legendary criminal who wrote his autobiography while serving a jail sentence in prison. His book, "From the Inside", upon which the film is based, was a best-seller. Having met Chopper in real life, he always tends to say that the film is nothing like his real life, but I think that is from his "new Leaf", Either way it is a great film and Eric Banner's performance could not have been any better, to think an Aussie comedian ended up making it big in Hollywood?
The Castle (1997)
A Melbourne family is very happy living where they do, near the Melbourne airport. However, they are forced to leave their beloved home, by the Government and airport authorities. 'The Castle' is the story of how they fight to remain in their house, taking their case as far as the High Court. Timeless comedy which has the BEST DEPICTION OF AUSTRALIA. The language, the food, the household, the terrain. I cannot stress this enough, but if you have ever wondered what Australia really is like- Then watch this film!!
Romper Stomper (1992)
A group of skinheads become alarmed at the way their neighborhood is changing. Also, this one ranks as my favorite all time Punk film. It cannot be anymore true of how society used to be in Australia with imagration and cultural differences.
Two Hands (1999)
A 19 year old (Heath Ledger) finds himself in debt to a local gangster (Bryan Brown) when some gang loot disappears and sets him on the run from thugs. Meanwhile two street kids start a shopping spree when they find the missing money. Rose Byrne co-stars as a country girl, who Ledger starts a romance on his trip.
The Loved Ones (2009)
When Brent turns down his classmate Lola's invitation to the prom, she concocts a wildly violent plan for revenge.Having seen this in the cinema not expecting anything but another teenage Hollywood film about a prom, it actually blew me away! With an incredible story, totally Australian and amazing character development. This one instantly became an Aussie sensation and there is a reason why. All Horror Fans Must see this one!
Bad Boy Bubby (1993)
Bubby's buxom mother tricked him to stay locked at home for thirty years, during which she mounts and abuses him. Buddy ends up in the streets groping random women until finding a nurse who is even more buxom than his late mother.In a nutshell- The fictional Australian Leatherface that goes where no other Aussie horror has gone before. This one is truly messed up!
Wolf Creek (2005)
Stranded backpackers in remote Australia fall prey to a murderous bushman who offers to fix their car, then takes them captive. This one is loosely based on true events, by that I mean they gathered two completely different true crime stories and rolled them into one. Still it made every traveling teenager shit scared for weeks after this one- it had the 'jaws' Effect on the outback.
Rabbit-Proof fence (2002)
In 1931, three aboriginal girls escape after being plucked from their homes to be trained as domestic staff and set off on a trek across the Outback. This is probably the only aboriginal slave films ever made, it has a lot of heart and one for the watch-list.
The Nugget (2002), The Idiot Box (1996) , Kenny (2006) , Fat Pizza (2003) and The Wog Boy (2000)
These all together on the same level, and best to group them all, For classic Aussie comedy these ones sit on the surface... and very top for others.
Razorback (1984)
A wild, vicious pig terrorizes the Australian outback. You want to know what a "Bush Pig" is? Just see this film. One Horror not to miss out on!
Turkey Shoot (1982)
Grind-house! Deviants are held at a rehabilitation fortress until they're set into a deadly game of survival, in the hopes of returning to world society. A thoroughly trashy sci-fi horror variation of The Most Dangerous Game from Ozploitation legend Brian Trenchard-Smith, A truly archetypal exploitation picture, chock full of nudity and gratuitous violence, this dystopian gorefest seemed to be custom built for the international market. Fortunate, given how hard it bombed at home.
Also not to miss out on : Crocodile Dundee (1986) and The Dish (2000)
And if you are still looking for gold, check out one amazing New Zealand film.. they are paractaically out neighbors : Once Were warriors (1994)
A family descended from Maori warriors is bedeviled by a violent father and the societal problems of being treated as outcasts.
Blood Splatter: A Guide to Cinematic Zombie Violence, Gore and Special Effects
For every Zombie lover, there comes a book that will be proud to stand on your shelf, and this is it! Definitely one not to miss out on - it's for sale NOW!
Why you should buy this book? This is not just any Zombie book, it is more of an in-depth almanac if you will, into everything "Zombie" that you ever wanted to know. Blood Splatter contains Thirty five exclusive interviews with the professionals who work behind the scenes to create them. Including the master of special effects TOM SAVINI (Dawn of the Dead), JOHN RUSSO (Night of the Living Dead), LLOYD KAUFMAN (CEO of Troma Entertainment) and TONY GARDNER (Return of the Living Dead, Zombieland), just to name a few. These alone are worth every cent, but wait! there is so much more..
Not only does this delve into classic and mainstream films but also on the obscure and lesser-known that will help you make your 'watch list' grow. Blood Splatter also contains over 300 rare and never before seen behind the scenes photographs and production sketches.
This is every Zombie fanatics wet dream all in just one book, and when you thought it couldn't possibly cram in anymore brain eating goodness it manages to completely shock you with having Almost 5,500 gory effects highlighted. Every bite, head-shot and disembowelment has been listed enabling the viewer to easily locate the best in zombie gore. It even has both Human and Zombie body-counts. What more could you ask for?
Blood Splatter was written byCRAIG W. CHENERY if you had any Braainnss you would keep an eye out for his upcoming work his follow up "Men Are From Mars, Zombies Are Dead - A Guide To Undead/Human Coexistence" Which is due in 2012.
This is Graig's first book, and I have to say that for a first book to look this good, he has done something right. I dont even believe that there can be a Zombie compendium written by just one man, but it he has certianly prooved me wrong with this little number.
Not only has Craig been a zombie fan for over twenty five years, he is also well versed in both cinematic and literary zombie history. In his spare time, he practices latex sculpting for zombie effects and in 2011, his makeup earned recognition from Robert Kirkman, Jon Bernthal and Steven Yeun (of The Walking Dead), when he was awarded first prize at the "Ultimate Zombie Showdown" costume competition at the Amazing "Arizona Comic Con". "Blood Splatter: A Guide to Cinematic Zombie Violence, Gore and Special Effects" It will blow your mind brains away!
Listing every band I have ever seen, one classic one that shook the house and rocked hard was Megadeth. They are a classic band that is often forgotten so this week is a classic 1992 hit song from their album Countdown to Extinction.

"THE EVIL DEAD" REMAKE..
How they CAN make it better before they ruin it
Check out this news from Aylse Wax:
Knowing that the remake is happening and there is nothing to stop it, understanding that you cannot save the original and realizing that you will see this film for curiosity should give you enough reason to care about what this remake actually is. Hey, I love some remakes, but with this news I know it’s already a disaster
- So here are the
Top 5 ways to make this remake great:
1. Don't get Hollywood Involved!
Why is the original 'Evil Dead" so good in the first pace,
This one is easy - Because it is a low-budget, independent shitty little film that has "no-body"s in it. Nobody even cared about Betsy Baker ("Linda"), and Hell, if you are ever bored or anything I highly suggest reading a book that tells you that Bruce Campbell ("Ash") was placed in his High school films and worked with Sam Raimi because not only were they friends and Bruce loved to act, but "It gave the girls something to look at".. Are you seriously telling me that you pick up a Horror movie and like to read an synopsis that tells nothing about the film but all its shitty awards, director of some film you don't care about and how well known the actors are? No! you don't care, you just want to know what the film is about and not that it is nominated for awards and entered in an international film contest. That will not make you see it, the best best is word-of mouth, the artwork on the cover and if it sounds good. Get Hollywood's vulture claws out of this one, it will only put things in that believes the "audience" likes, and if we don't like it they will say it was made for 'fun' and hope you 'spend your money on seeing it for curiosity anyway'.
2. Don't have a drug Subplot Once you add drugs..the Film doesn't automatically become Funny! Lets face it, most people have tried drugs, do drugs or sell drugs. Putting in drug references to make the rating higher, to grab a bigger audience and to make some sort of comedy in it is just fucking stupid! You either have a drug comedy, a drug film, a horror comedy, or a horror.. For shits sake, don't use drugs as a form of comedy in a horror film. The whole point of "Evil Dead' is that demonic Spirits are brought back to life and that little cabin in the middle of the woods is that last place you would want to be! Lets not make this into another "Friday the 13th remake" where the films is based around pot smoking G.P.S obsessive teens and we are supposed to feel we can relate or have sympathy or something into these idiots?
3. Easy up on Special Effects If you watch the original "Evil Dead" closely, you can actually see the bad effects, the fake white-out eyelids, the latex harshly plastered on faces and a simple (but effective) dolly shot with a camera. All of this makes pure GOLD. Only Just imagining a chick running away from C.G.I unrealistic coyotes makes me sick, and we are supposed to put up with it, embrace it, and pretend its all real and not a trailer for a video game. I'm not a basher for new films or c.g.i, but this is a horror movie so we all know that blood will not be that classic corn syrup mix and all animals will be computer generated and in Hollywood's hands-you know its a disaster waiting to happen.. kind of like "twilight" fans version of a drug addicted nightmare.
4. Please...No more 'tough Chicks' How do we replace an average Hot Guy? Hmm... Get a hot chick wearing boots with shorts and make her...really strong!
I love tough chick films.. LOVE them to pieces. Films like "Coffee", "Thriller" the 90's version of "Night of the living dead", or even "Savage Streets". But this is because they are believable characters. Take a look at that Hollywood disaster film "Charlies Angles", that is not believable I bet a room full of experienced, trained martial artists and men with guns would have raped the shit out of Drew Barrymore and popped a cap in Cameron Diaz's big mouth in the first 10 minutes of the film. Make the characters believable, and then this will be saved. I don't even want to get into the remake of "Hitcher". It's fine to have a hot chick as the lead in the film, but for the love of all mankind.. please just make her believable. I want to relate to the characters, and feel sympathy for their deaths..
5. This is not Asia Most Asian Horrors evolve around the idea that the main character is in-fact insane, or that its all just a dream. Trust me on this one I have seen hundreds of these, I used to watch Asian films to help me with learning the language. Having a character INSANE and having everyone else not believe her crazy claims is retarded. This isn't even Evil Dead anymore, they just bought the name and have old fans mixed with new ones make plenty of money. That's what is all about right?- making the big bucks. 'The Evil Dead' is real, the people actually get possessed and the Main character has to go through the tough decision to kill the ones he loves. He doesn't wake up find out it's all a dream, he doesn't go through a psychological nightmare or a drug run, and he is not the actual killer in the end and he is defiantly not Mental in the Head!
The Best way around this Film?
1. Easy, They could make an Evil Dead Prequel- What on earth really happened in that cabin before Ash and his crew got there? well, we do see what happened, but non-the less so long as it didn't ruin the original characters it would at least let the new audience of a different generation seek out and explore the other films.
2. Evil Dead 4 should have been made. Years ago when rumors were being spread and Bruce Campbell wasn't on Burn Notice. This could have tied in with Army of Darkness even if it was a piece of crap, at least there would be another evil Dead film with ol' Brucey boy and you could separate fans accordingly.
3. Change the name. Make this film as described but call it something else. Usually films these days love to have one worded titles don't they (saw, cut, triangle..etc.) why not just call it "cabin", or something other than Evil Dead. That was an easy idea to come up with.
4. Watch it and make your own judgement. Hey, this might be a really good film but from the news it won't come close to the original Evil Dead. Instead of having the same debate on "remakes vs. originals" just separate the two films altogether. See it at a cinema and have an open mind.. I mean more open than Madonna legs because you will be in for a ride of your blood-thirsty life.

Coroner - R.I.P (1987) Coroner - No More Color (1989)
Grab your Coroner double Here: (http://www.mediafire.com/?2mikqtm4wph9pl3) Coroner is a Swiss thrash metal/progressive metal band from Zurich. They garnered relatively little attention outside of Europe. Formed in 1983, the band broke up in 1996, but decided to reform 14 years later. The band performed at multiple live venues and festivals around the world in 2011, and have said that new material is a possibility. Coroner's music combines elements of thrash, progressive rock, jazz, and industrial metal with suitably gruff vocals. With their increasingly complex style of progressive rock-infused thrash, they are often labeled as "the Rush of thrash metal" by music critics. Coroner's sound then progressed and the production became more refined, resulting in the more progressive No More Color, Mental Vortex and Grin albums.

"We're Not a Fucking Surf Band".
