I am sure you all saw it during the Super Bowl 47 after the first quarter, but here is the extended trailer.
I surely cannot wait for it and I am a huge fan of the series. They did a great job with Fast Five, I do not expect any less this time either.
I recently came across the Drobo FS Internal Problem/Mount Failed error. This happened to me twice about 2 weeks apart but I was the one that did cause the error. The first time I was able to fix it fast and easily but the second time, not so much and not without Drobo’s great support.
Now this error is well documented now over at the Drobo Support site and with very few search results. However, at the same time that article might not help you if say you were in my situation. There are more than a few ways to get this error from my understanding, the reason I received this error however was due to me using 100% disk space.
If you receive this error, first and foremost make sure you contact Drobo Support so they can help you.
With that said, I was able to get rid of the DroboFS Internal Problem/Mount Failed error by gaining a custom firmware from Drobo Tier 3 Support that enabled SSH again (I had it disabled). With SSH enabled again, I moved a few files off the Drobo to clean up space. After that I restarted the DroboFS and once again was able to access my data easily and without any Internal Problem/Mount Failed error.
If you already have SSH enabled then you do not need to gain a custom firmware and you can simply just run the following command in PuTTY:
mount -O rw /dev/sda1/ /mnt/DroboFS
Then close PuTTY and use WinSCP to connect via SCH to move or delete files from your Shares. WinSCP just makes things easier with an interface to look at and what not else. This typicall goes without saying but by including “-O rw” to mount, we make sure everything is Read/Write, otherwise it will be Read-Only File System and you will not be able to do anything (move/delete/etc). Once completed, restart the DroboFS and your error should be gone as mine was. If you do get a custom firmware, it is safe to go back to the latest DroboFS firmware when you are finished.
Just days after word arrived that Steven Spielberg’s tentative next film, Robopocalypse, has been delayed indefinitely, comes word that should more than balance out the disappointment felt by fans: Jurassic Park IV is officially on the way with a release date of June 13, 2014!
Details on the project are currently few, but Jurassic Park IV will be produced by Spielberg with a director yet-to-be-named. It is also being planned for a 3D release.
“It’s really hard to keep these things going when there’s an expectation and a desire by the public and the audience to keep certain franchises going,” fellow producer Kathleen Kennedy told ComingSoon.net last fall.
“As filmmakers, we often sit there going, ‘Okay. We have to answer the question, ‘Why do another one?” If you can’t answer that question, you shouldn’t be doing it. It’s tough. We’re trying to come up with a story that makes sense and isn’t going to disappoint people and is, hopefully, going to get people excited and reinvigorate the franchise.”
Currently unconfirmed, it is believed that the most recent draft of the sequel was scripted by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver.
The original 1993 Jurassic Park will see a 3D re-release on April 5 of this year, also hitting IMAX 3D theaters.
Seriously, who is NOT in this movie? It does look hilarious though, I want to see it.
Check out the trailer for Mark Wahlberg’s upcoming movie Broken City set to be released on January 18th, 2013. I am a huge Mark Wahlberg fan and this just movie adds to his huge list of badass movies he already has done or coming out in the future. Russell Crowe plays the villain in this one, another great actor.
Finally! The trailer for the next Die Hard movie has been released! Bruce Willis will once again relive his badass John McClane character. The last Die Hard was alright, good but still nothing better than the Die Hard 1 or 3.
1. Hughes actually had an elaborate dance sequence choreographed for Matthew Broderick to perform during the “Danke Schoen/Twist and Shout” parade number (for which 10,000 actual Chicagoans showed up to watch after an announcement was made that a John Hughes movie would be shooting in the city center), but it was all scrapped because Broderick badly injured his knee filming the scene in which Ferris runs through his neighbors’ backyards.
2. The dirge-like song that Cameron sings to himself while lying in his sick bed (“Let my Cameron go”) is an old spiritual called “Go Down, Moses” credited to the Fisk Jubilee Singers in 1871. The actual lyrics were “When Israel was in Egypt’s land: Let my people go/Oppress’d so hard they could not stand, let my people go.” You can see the scene here.
3. Although they were playing high-school classmates, Mia Sara and Alan Ruck (Sloane and Cameron) were more than 10 years apart in age. Sara was 18 when she filmed the movie, while Ruck was a few months shy of his 30th birthday.
4. Ben Stein’s entire economics lecture (“Something D-O-O economics. Voodoo economics.”) was improvised. Said Stein later, “John Hughes asked me to ad-lib two scenes: One, teaching, which was something I was familiar with, and, two, taking attendance. When I finished the [teaching] scene, everyone on the set was gathered around and started applauding. I thought they were applauding because they’d learned something about economics. I later learned they were applauding because it was so boring.”
5. In 1990, a TV spin-off called simply “Ferris Bueller” debuted on NBC. It lasted less than one season, but is notable for being the first starring role for young Jennifer Aniston. (She played Jeannie.)
6. Two other last-minute edits still leave their marks on the finished film. There was supposed to be a longer sequence at Chez Quis in which the main trio marvels at the fact that the restaurant serves pancreas. Although the scene was cut, it is referenced near the end of the film when Ferris tries to convince Cameron that they had a good day, one of his examples being that “we ate pancreas.” Also, when Ferris first calls Cameron in the beginning of the movie, he is drawing a nude woman on his computer. She was supposed to end up on the Jumbotron at Wrigley Field, but the sequence was cut. One thing that was removed entirely was a scene involving Ferris telling some Chicago call-in-radio hosts that he was the first teenager launched into space by NASA. It was supposed to create a whole subplot for the film, but it was excised following the Challenger disaster in early 1986.
7. In the original version of the movie, Ferris had two younger siblings who were almost completely edited out of the final release. However, look closely during the scene early on when Ferris’ dad calls from his office to check in on Ferris. Behind him is a framed family portrait featuring more kids than just Ferris and Jeannie. It would also explain why the family had kiddy drawings so prominently displayed on the fridge. (They were actually done by Hughes’ 6-year-old son.)
8. Almost all of the license plates visible in the movie reference a John Hughes film (except for the Ferrari’s classic “NRVOUS,” which is self-explanatory). Ferris’ mom’s plates say “VCTN” (Hughes wrote the screenplay for National Lampoon’s “Vacation”), his dad’s say “MMOM” (Hughes wrote the screenplay for “Mr. Mom”), his sister’s say “TBC” (Hughes wrote and directed “The Breakfast Club”), and Mr. Rooney’s car says “4FBDO” (for “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”).
9. The actors who played Ferris’ parents, Lyman Ward and Cindy Pickett, actually got married after filming and were together for six years before divorcing in 1992.
10. Did Chez Quis — the “snooty” French restaurant that Ferris, Cameron and Sloane B.S. their way into — look familiar? It’s a real place called L’Orangerie (located in West Hollywood, Calif., not Chicago), and it’s appeared in movies ranging from “St. Elmo’s Fire” (when Emilio Estevez brings Andie McDowell there on a date) to “Brewster’s Millions” (when Richard Pryor treats a horde of random strangers to lunch there) to “Intolerable Cruelty” (when George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones’ first meeting takes place there).

Check out the latest Terry Crews Old Spice Muscle Music commercial! Terry Crew is just a bad ass mother fucker and bigger than ever now and it will only get better. He just recently starred in The Expendables 2 sequel, as well as participated in the Reddit AMA’s which everyone has said was the best AMA even with President Obama having participated in them too.
Here is a viral video going around of Cookie Monster revealing himself as Batman. One of the most commonly recognizable characteristics of him is his gravelly, growling voice. In the first few Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” film series, Batman’s voice was a little more than just rough and gravelly and drew large debate which is what recently sparks this viral video.
I personally do not mind his voice, I enjoy the movie and move on at the end of the day. I am not saying they could have noticed it early and had him change his voice a little, but it is over and done with. It is a good series and Christian Bale is great as Batman too.
Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman in the 1990s FOX animation series, discussed the topic at length at Chicago’s pop culture conference C2E2 in 2008 and said the following:
“Christian Bale is an excellent actor, he just got steered wrong,” Conroy commented. “Obviously someone should have stopped him and said, ‘You sound ridiculous.”
While Conroy’s comments were applauded, there was one reader that posted such character direction was inspired by the original comics:
“The growling voice is not an original idea: it is referenced in the comics,” Brad wrote on screenrant.com. “In “Knightfall”, Robin makes a reference to Batman’s “gravelly” voice while talking to Nightwing. Yes, the purpose is two-fold: cover his identity, and to be intimidating. I grew up watching Batman on television, and wondered why no one recognized the voice of well-known Bruce Wayne.”
