Damn This Sucks News, RIP Jim Kelly

Legendary Kung-Fu film star Jim Kelly has died over the weekend at the age of 67. If you don't know the name well, you know the face. He was prominently featured in the Bruce Lee action classic Enter the Dragon. He got his start in the film industry by winning a karate championship in 1971, opened his own dojo and parlayed his skills and successes into a busy film career. After Enter slingshot him into fame we went on to star in numerous blaxploitation films including 3 the Hard Way, Black Samurai, and Black Belt Jones. Jim retired from making movies in the 80's but would pop up in cameo roles and maintained his status as a fixture in the martial arts community and would make frequent appearances at conventions. So grab your copy of Enter the Dragon and remember this guy fondly. I'm plugging in my LaserDisc copy at this moment.
ON TO HAPPIER THINGS...

Ironically, that's exactly how we watched the first 2 seasons of Portlandia
NEWS!!!
Well this isn't news exactly... there's not a whole hell of a lot of that going around that isn't about politics. However, thanks to the great folks over at Screenrant, I was exposed to this horrific piece of marketing over the weekend. Have you ever wanted to hear C-3PO rap? Well now you can! Enjoy!
Need more fun? In case you missed it, I got a chance to catch a screening of the legendary film Samurai Cop over the weekend. Give my review a look over at Flick Show Ticket and enjoy some goofy pictures that I managed to scrounge up from the interwebs.
Like I said, nothing much happened or got dropped news wise over the weekend SO, unless something major comes down the pipe through the course of the day, this is it for today. I'm still working on my next trailer mashup, it's progressing day by day, so lookout for that soon... possibly even this afternoon if I can swing it. Until next time Dear Readers, remember if you're given the opportunity to purchase droids from Jawas, make sure they're not wanted by The Galactic Empire... only bad things ever happen. Remember Owen. Remember Beru.
