This winter will be cold and Quentin Tarantino plans for the snow to be soaked in blood, as the end of the year will bring his 8th film to theaters and that film is “The Hateful Eight” Anyone that has followed Tarantino’s career will not be surprised by the great cast that has been assembled and the amazing story that will unfold on the screen.
“The Hateful Eight” follows a group of bounty hunters and a prisoner, as they seek shelter from a horrible blizzard and quickly realize that their problems are not all weather related. The level of talent in this movie cannot be measured; the acting talents include Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Channing Tatum, Michael Madsen, Walton Goggins, Demian Bichir, and Bruce Dern.
“The Hateful Eight” will have a wide release on January 8, 2016, but Quentin does have a special Christmas present for the hardcore cinema fans. In select theaters, “The Hateful Eight” will be presented in Ultra Panavision 70 on Christmas Day.
There might be a few of you that may be confused on the concept of Ultra Panavision 70 or 70mm film presentation. 70mm film is an old school Hollywood concept of present films, as the “Ultra Panavision” method was used in the 1959 classic “Ben Hur” and allows for a wider aspect ratio, while preserving the quality. As Tarantino is a loyal to the classic film presentation, these special screenings of “The Hateful Eight” will be an event to behold.
There are some moments in life that you are ready for, but sadly there are sometimes that no one can ever be ready. A member of the Nowhere California family informed us of the story of Baby Brindan and tragic events that his family are still recovering from.
Brindan was set to enter this world on Aug.1st, but sadly died in the womb the day after and his family could use your help. They have set up a page at Go Fund Me For Brindan to help with the cost of funeral expenses and they are very close to their goal.
Please go to their page, learn their story and send your support. A dollar and/or a kind word can go a long way.
Fern Petersen (Jennifer Laporte) is a normal high school student, she has a group of close friends and a more then attentive boyfriend, Robert. Robert Klingher (Vincent Martella from The Walking Dead and Disney’s Phineas and Ferb) will do anything to express his love for Fern and one of his most elaborate expressions ends with his death. This could easily be the end of the story, but this is not your typical story.
Most relationships end lot smoother then the breakup of Fern Petersen and Robert Klingher, but for Fern, Robert is a high risk clinger and death won’t even stop his love for her.
This is the world of the upcoming comedy/horror movie “CLINGER”, this movie is directed by Michael Steves and will be released to the world on October 23. Now, in a NOWHERECALIFORNIA.com exclusive, here is the trailer for “CLINGER”
(Nicholas Dye/Staff Writer) READER’S DISCRETION ADVISED: SWEAR WORDS AHEAD!! LIKE…LOTS OF THEM.
It started when a bad idea fucked a guy in a green suit. Okay, maybe I should clarify that. Way back in the year 2009, us nerds huddled in a dimly lit theater waiting to see the awesomeness that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Not only did we get a badass Wolverine backstory and a better Sabertooth played by Ray Donovan (or whatever his name is), but we also finally got our favorite “Merc with a mouth”, Deadpool!! Sure he was played by pretty boy Ryan Reynolds but at least we knew Reynolds had the whole foul-mouthed chatterbox thing down (see Blade Trinity)! By the end of X-Men Origins our favorite merc had been reduced to a shirtless super-mutant who had Baraka’s arms from Mortal Kombat, and, get this, HIS FUCKING MOUTH SEWN SHUT!!!! It was like seeing a Batman who could beat your ass but couldn’t tie his own shoes without the help of Morgan Freeman…Thanks Nolan. Needless to say, us fanboys (and girls, settle the fuck down), left the theater with a bitter taste in our mouths…(too easy)
(Fuck you Fox…see above)
Shortly after that train wreck of a movie, the rumor mill started spitting out ideas about a standalone Deadpool movie. With visions of that bullshit in the picture above still fresh in our heads, we only had semi nerd boners and whatever semi thing nerd girls get. In the meantime, it was announced that Reynolds would be slipping into another skin tight hero suit for DC and Warner Bros. this time and in 2011, we packed our hopeful asses back into theaters for Green Lantern aaaaand we got fucked hard and dirty (in all the bad ways) again! If you haven’t seen it, it looks like this:
(Wow…fuck you too Warner!)
Feeling quite violated, we left theaters with the kind of depression that not even a chimichanga would fix and all seemed lost and hopeless. We thought we would never get to see Deadpool on the big screen except in the OVER circumcised looking version that we got from Origins. In 2012, however, we heard all new rumors about the return of Deadpool but instead of hearing trumpets, we all were apprehensive like a hard fart in spandex, not quite sure how to handle it. The reoccurring rumor was that Reynolds, a die-hard Deadpool fan, had independently created a 1-2 minute “teaser” to take before Fox studio executives and that their reaction was like the first time you got to touch a boob under the shirt but over the bra…fucking thrilled! Our excitement (and pants) began to swell again and the horizon looked bright for us fans of Wade Wilson aka Deadpool! Sadly, buzz began to die down and we were left with movie blue balls. Just when we thought we would never get to bust our Deadpool nut, 2014 hit and the exact video that blew the minds of the Fox execs found its way to the inter web…here you go kids!!
Like most of our sex lives, it was short but damn satisfying! In those few minutes, we got a Deadpool who bantered well with the bad guys, never took anything seriously, broke the 4th wall, AND killed the shit out of everything!! It was like watching an early Jenna Jameson movie, dirty and artistic and left us reaching for a Kleenex. FINALLY we would get the right kind of Deadpool movie!! Then, as if biting into a Quarter Pounder with cheese only to find a dirty band-aid, Fox told us it would be PG-13. What the fuck!? How can you have a Deadpool movie without all the violence and implied sex and chock full of salty swear words!!? As any die hard fan looking for the silver lining to this shit sandwich, we began to be thankful that we were even getting a Deadpool movie and the phrase “They can still make it work with PG-13” became commonplace. Fast forward to April Fool’s Day 2015. We had all settled into the idea of a PG-13 Deadpool movie no matter how reluctantly and there was an announcement that Ryan Reynolds would be on Extra with pictures and news from the Deadpool set and here’s what we got:
SWEET BABY JESUS WE’RE GETTING A RATED ‘R’ DEADPOOL MOVIE!!!! Like a blowjob from a girl that’s waaaay out of your league, we couldn’t believe it was actually happening!! There would be no holds barred and no language censored! Deadpool would finally get it’s proper representation on the big screen. The only apprehension was Reynolds himself who had, as we said, whiffed pretty hard at the box office in the “superhero” genre. All doubts, however, were erased after footage of Deadpool was shown at the legendary San Diego Comic Con this year. Grainy footage leaked out and we fanboys and girls couldn’t watch it fast enough. Fox studios told us they were going to wait a while to give the general public an actual trailer but in the meantime, we learned just how hard Reynolds has worked to bring Deadpool to life. At the press event for his film “Self/less” Reynolds was asked about Deadpool to which he responded:
“For me it’s 11 years of waiting to do this guy. That doesn’t happen like this in a business where you wait so long and they’ll eventually say: ‘You can’t do this, you’re old,’” “Six years ago, we wrote a script and it was awesome. It was as if the people who created Deadpool themselves had done it.”
This last week, Fox released the same trailer that was shown at SDCC and fans worldwide have been unified in their enthusiasm. Not only are we finally getting a Deadpool movie, not only is “The Merc with a Mouth” being played by someone who has dedicated an unhealthy amount of time to get the character right AND brought to life, not only is he going to cuss like a sailor with Tourettes, NOT ONLY are we….oh I’ll just shut the fuck up and give you this red band trailer in all it’s fucking glory!!! Thanks 20th Century Fox for getting it right on the money!!! Deadpool will kick theaters right in the balls on February 12th, 2016. Take a Valentine’s date and maybe you’ll get laid!!
This site is still something new to us, but we have been around since 2011. Nowhere California began as a podcast and grew into something we never imagined.
In recent weeks, we have evolved into something more and we want to make sure everyone will continue this journey with us.
One of our biggest changes was our switching of host sites. Unfortunately, we outgrew our previous host site and made the move over to soundcloud…
Now, with that move, we had to launch a new iTunes feed and that is the reason behind this post. The entire Nowhere California Team would like to make sure that our listeners can make to move without issue. So here is a graphic to help things along…
(Joshua Gilmore-Staff Writer)
It began in 2013 and a chance meeting at the Los Angeles Days of the Dead Convention. The Nowhere California Team was in attendance, covering their first convention and the team from Queen Gorya was spreading the word on their upcoming series. The two teams crossed paths and exchanged information, which could have easily ended there and, luckily, it did not.
As the months progressed, Nowhere California was lucky enough to have many great conversations with different cast members of the Queen Gorya series..
Then, after a successful kickstarter campaign, Nowhere California had the chance to attend and cover the pilot premiere. The event was great and the finished pilot was amazing…
The pilot is still available to view at www.queengorya.com. It is some great work and everyone involved should be proud of this work. Queen Gorya is something that should be viewed and deserve more word of mouth.
After you watch the pilot episode, give a listen to Josh and Phil discussion in this special edition of “WHY NOT?”
We’ve mentioned this to everyone at Queen Gorya multiple times and we’re going to do it again here. We want to thank the entire Queen Gorya crew for lettings us into your world and allowing us to watch the evolution of this journey.
If absence makes the heart grow fonder, get ready to reach a new level of fondness for Louis CK and his hit TV series “Louie”. FX has announced that the series will be on a temporary hiatus, so Louis CK can focus on upcoming project and there is no set time frame of the series return.
The loyal “Louie” viewers will remember that this series took two years off, between seasons 3 and 4, but this hiatus has no set end established. FX Executives are hopeful for a quick return, but wishes to give Louis as much time as he needs for his upcoming slate of projects.
In one of his upcoming projects, Louis CK will be returning to the world of movies and direct the upcoming “I’m A Cop”. This film will mark Louis first directorial work since 2001’s “Pootie Tang”
The small screen will not miss Louis CK for too long, as he will have his hands in 2 upcoming FX series. First, in a sort of “Louie” spin off, he will be working on “Better Things” with Pamela Adlon. Also, Louis will be working with Zach Galifianakis on the series “Baskets”
As a kid growing up watching the superheroes-come-to-life in the WWF, of course I would go nuts every time I heard Hogan’s music hit or the Ultimate Warrior’s crazed run to the ring. I still get goosebumps overtime Macho Man’s music hits or the Legion of Doom march to the ring. The thing that really fired me up wasn’t “hulking up” or watching Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts deliver the greatest short arm clothesline in the business, it was the complete hatred I had for simply the greatest “heel” in the business, Rowdy Roddy Piper. Every time those bagpipes would hit and I would hear the man from Glasgow, Scotland introduced, I just wanted someone to shut him up. I wanted to see him get beat by “The Hulkster” or choked out by Andre The Giant. I remember having conversations with other kids about how fake wrestling was. I would get pissed and finally concede that it was, at least, a little fake but Hot Rod was 100% real. He was the silver tongued devil of the WWF the first TRUE super villain. I would relish turning on Saturday Night’s Main Event just to see him get knocked around even if it rarely happened. Then one day, in the middle of one of his promos, I remember a switch was flipped. He hadn’t become a “good guy” (or “babyface” as they call it in the industry), he simply came out, talked trash, and backed it all up. He was a dirty fighter and a loud mouth braggart and I suddenly found myself connecting with this kilt-wearing lunatic. Maybe it was because he reminded me, in my own warped way, of another of my heroes, Muhammad Ali. Like Ali, Piper would goad you into a fight, get you off your game, and smack the crap out of you. As I grew older, I cheered wildly for Piper in his 1992 win over the Mountie for the Intercontinental Title and I never wondered why he didn’t go for the big title. I knew he never had to. He didn’t need to be world champ to be the most dynamic wrestler in the business. You always knew that once that sleeper hold was on, you were in trouble. Rowdy was never apologetic for anything he had done and seemed as fired up at the boos as Hogan ever did at the cheers. The main difference? Piper never needed to be in that spotlight, he created his own. In his lifetime, he has been loved and hated, feared and respected, kicked some ass and had his kicked a VERY few times along the way. He is a Hall of Fame inductee, he was the greatest villain ever and my favorite wrestler. He was always quick to shake hands with fans, shared wisdom and supported the new blood coming up, was a loving father and husband and a consummate ambassador for wrestling during it’s highs and lows. One of his last blessing was giving his name to Rhonda Rousey and I guarantee, he couldn’t have picked a better fighter to bestow the title of “Rowdy” on. I will miss you for all of those reasons Rowdy Roddy Piper and I can’t thank you enough for the amazing and damn too short ride. RIP Roderick George “Rowdy” Toombs. The greatest.
