CGMA (The Complete Interview)
A little while back I got interviewed by the guys at CGMA (CG Masters Academy). Had a great time (after a rough audio beginning), but just wanted to say THANKS to the host Ben Scutt for keeping me on point. Hope you guys get a chance to listen!
TRANSFORMERS 4 Bumblebee is a 67 Camaro SS…
Michael Bay’s TRANSFORMERS 4 has just released this new shot of what the next Bumblebee has become. A 1967 Camaro SS. Matte black with some yellow details. That means that Bumblebee will be primarily black now when in battle mode, and should look cool. We’ll see…
Looking for something to do this weekend? It’s RCX time!
Heading to Long Beach tomorrow for the roll-in of The RCX SHOW at The Long Beach Convention Center. If you’re looking for something fun to do with the kiddies, then this is is… PLUS, Saturday I’ll be at The Huntington Beach Concours d’ Elegance for Hot Rod Day. That should be a blast, too.
Weather’s going to be awesome, so grab the squirts and head south for some pre-summer car show fun. And be sure to hit the links for details. See youz at the show!!!
Today’s FUTURETECHTURE… The CarHouse…
Now we’re talkin.’ When you REALLY love cars, then you REALLY need a CarHouse. Plus more…
Time for some Fireball RANDOMNESS…
Some funny things to ponder today. When stuff gets too serious, just take a moment and check out one of these. They may not resolve your problem, but at least you won’t be thinking about it.
Hm. There’s a SECRET in that sentence…
Thursday’s VEHICULAR WIERDNESS, HOTNESS…and just plain wicked…
Some serious metal out there for today. Can you recognize some of these coolness…es? If not… we have a rollie-pollie BUG, the new 2014 CHEVY DENALI, a RAT BMW, CrossScape Concepts by Brad Page, Migaloo’s PERSONAL YACHT SUB, Renault’s TwinRun Concept & BMW’s latest flagship concept. Bing.
Fireball’s ACTION MOVIEBITS… SW7 in Ireland, Guardians of the Galaxy, Pirates 5, U.N.C.L.E. & Alien Chill…
• STAR WARS EPISODE 7 will be partially shooting in Ireland. And they’re hired that wee Lucky Charms dood, too.
• It looks like Glenn Close is the head Policeman in Marvel’s upcoming GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. Head of the Nova Intergalactic Space Patrol… or whatever that is. But one thing’s fer sure… she’s a toughy.
• The directing doods of KON TIKI have landed PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN 5. Whoa!!! And if you haven’t seen KON TIKI yet,… for shame. It’s awesome. And now… P5 will be too. Maybe.
• Tom Cruise is out. Henry Cavill is in… for THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. That’s good, because Tom is doing 124 films this year and Henry’s only doing one good one.
• Finally, the ALIEN. Just chillin.’
The 2013 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE gets rocketed… @hyundai
There’s a reason that this 2013 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUP TRACK M/T has the word “track” in it. No, it’s not because they are tracking you via some hi-tech stealth GoPro embedded inside the A/C unit or that it comes with a pair of track shoes. (Although, I’m pretty sure that you believed that…) But this Hyundai is the little brother that does…
Growing up in a family of 5 kids, each sibling developed his own personality. If we were all cars, then each one of us would be a different personality. My oldest sister would be an old jag with English plaid interior, my next brother up… a blocky 70’s muscle car that’s awesome in a straight line but challenging on the curves.
But me? I’d be this Hyundai in red. Small package, BIG power.
Each time Hyundai sends me a car to go over, I get more excited. And this 348hp V6 is just enough out of the box to steal the glory of most performance cars in it’s range. It’s an ergonomic masterpiece that fits around your body like an Armani on wheels (best to get in black or pinstriped). And although it’s 18/27mpg range isn’t all that impressive, you have to realize that what you just bought wants to go, go, go…
Remember when your Dad took you to the go-kart track the first time and you spun that puppy out? …Then, all you wanted to do for the rest of your time was just that? This car feels that tight. It’s easy to drive, simple and smooth reach on the interior functions and a wickedly curvaceous exterior that once again, reflects best in dark colors. I can see some flames tricklin’ up the side now…
Many have bought this car and turned them into monster’s of hp. And not to say that you wouldn’t also, but if you didn’t touch this thing one bit, you’d have fun at about 6.0 on the richter. Standard is the 6-speed, rear wheel spin-fun wups, tons of air bags and a whole host of the best doodads that $33K can but, although the base is $24K. But when you’re out tooling around or at Willow Springs for the first time, sinking into the Genesis Coupe will bring up one thing to mind. “When the hell did Hyundai get so cool?
Fireball’s ACTION MOVIEBITS… Transformers 4, Bond 24, Apes & Spidey
• Michael Bay‘s TRANSFORMERS 4 has two brand new Autobots, production having just started on the border between Arizona and Utah. A 1200-horsepower $2M Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse & a C7 Corvette Stingray. Best not to crash them, Mr. Bay…
• Director Sam Mendes back in talks to direct BOND 24. Ok.
• DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (Directed by Matt Reeves, ) comes to theaters May 23, 2014. Here’s an ON SET Photo of an overgrown San Francisco. See more @ SuperheroHype.
• ON SET with THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 reveals Paul Giamatti in a Rhino Motion Capture Suit. Unless, that’s his real costume, to which I would say they need a bigger budget. See more @ ComicBookMovie.
Today’s HOLLYWOOD HEROINES…
If you have to get your butt kicked… best it be by a Hollywood Heroine. At least, while your eyes are open, you can enjoy her slick moves.
Today’s Heroine Art comes from Jia Runa, SamC Art & Rei Ayanami.
