OUCH- Well Ladies and Gentleman I have some rather sad news regarding the film THE APOCALYPSE, with Bruce and Richard Harris. I went to the post today to pick up the film and my excitement soon turned to dismay as the film progressively went around in my VCR. Bruce did look like a Roman GOD and he could have passed off as one of the classical sculptures that have withstood the test of time, however this film will not withhold such a relation with time. Last night I had finished watching HELEN OF TROY, with Rufus Sewell (fav film 'IN A SAVAGE LAND'), the interesting Stellan Skarsgård and John Rhys-Davies, who looks great with all of the weight he's lost! I thought the pacing, the fighting, and the over all look went well with the Troy film. There were a lot of technical things wrong with APOCALYPSE which bothered me immensely such as the sound sync. It was off by a 10th of a second. I was going to send a copy of the film to a sound buddy but it's going to drive him nuts. The special effects were very nasty. Ouch! And they focused too much on the "religion". Hmmmm, having endured enough religion in my youth, how do I explain this. There should have been more of a counterbalance between the 'GODS', such as Bruce's character proclaimed himself as, and "God". What I liked about HELEN OF TROY was the subtleness of 'THE GODS'. They didn't make it a story of the 'GODS', but as an accent to peoples beliefs. THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST was a very good film and I am looking forward to Mel Gibson's film on Christ. However, no one will be able to top Monty Python's THE LIFE OF BRIAN. With that said, the part which was the most upsetting in APOC, WHERE WAS BRUCE? He had such a great impact at the beginning of the film, but where was he for the rest of it? His minion, Quintus (I believe was his name), had more screen time than Bruce. Was it the editing? I thought Bruce's Character of Caesar would have had more play within the film. Anyone honestly could order a copy in Italian, which is available right now, and get the gist of the film. Sorry to Bruce and Richard, but this film is NOT one of my favourites. Bruce had more time in Ravager, for those who know me know I have a distaste for that film. Alex had a better time of it when he was forced to wear that eye contraption during his re-conditiong in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. I have grabbed images of Bruce, I wasn't going to grab anything as I am that disappointed, however it's not his fault. Bruce would have indeed given John Hurt and Derek Jacobi a run for their Roman Piousness in I, CLAUDIUS. I will leave it here.

Sigh...... You can click here to view.

I am very thrilled that ONE POINT O will be at the SundanceFestival! I am looking forward to seeing that film indeed.

This is Bruce's ring that he wore in HELLBORN. It has a good weight and great craftsmanship. Very well made and way too big for my own hand.

  

This is one of the patches worn in HELLBORN. I know a few people who should be enlisted into St. Andrews.

Check out the scene from SWITCH that was never in the film but was in the trailer.

I found this in the AGWLBP archives. I've had it for almost 6 years... what a find!

From the St. Louis Post

(A-B is Anheiser-Busch, the beer co.)

We Will Never Get Beat'

When A-B thought of ice beer, it thought of how Miller humiliated the company in the mid-1970s with Miller Lite, the product that made light beer a best-seller. August Busch IV, a top executive at the brewing dynasty, explained during the trial how A-B had trailed Miller on light beer and lost huge profits. "Miller Brewing began the category here in the United States with Lite," he said. "We passed them after 12 years, 1994 with Bud Light, to become the world's largest selling light beer. It took a long time to do because Miller Lite was out there for a very long period of time . . . before we actually had the guts to go out and introduce" light beers. Busch explained in court last month why A-B hurried to sell a new and untested product. "As aggressive as the beer business has become as of late and after we've been taught a 12-year lesson, we will never get beat to the marketplace if there's anything we can do about it," Busch said. A-B knew in 1993 that Miller was working on an ice beer. "We were very concerned," Busch said. "They were going to the marketplace very rapidly, and we needed to get to the marketplace before they did so we didn't suffer that same fate (as) with Bud Light." One hundred people went to work almost immediately on A-B's ice beer project, code-named "Windy City." An advertising campaign was ready before there was any beer to sell. Busch oversaw the creation of the television commercials. He chose the Jesus and Mary Chain, a band noted for its shrieking feedback, and Bruce Payne, an actor who played a terrorist in the movie "Passenger 57." Busch said he liked Payne "because he had a very sinister type personality. We wanted to have a very evil type spokesperson in this type of campaign." A-B told its brewmaster to create a beer-making process that involved ice. The brewery quickly devised a way to marry beer and ice. After the beer was fermented, 20 percent was drawn off, frozen for a time, thawed and added to the remaining 80 percent of the beer. In other words, out of any quart of Ice Draft from Budweiser, less than seven ounces are actually frozen. A-B has never before acknowledged this. Windy City was renamed Ice Draft from Budweiser and A-B went on to spend $80 million introducing its new product beginning in late 1993. It expected Ice Draft to be an instant smash, as its Bud Dry had been. "We expect the first year to be at or above Bud Dry's first year, which was 3.2 million barrels," Busch told reporters in 1993. That would make Ice Draft one of the best-selling beers in America.

MI5 - I missed last weeks MI5 and did not realize that today was the season finale of MI5, which means tonight Bruce's episode aired. I know there was a reminder on the BP list and I hope people were able to catch it! A and E played both seasons of MI5 for those who were wondering. A and E also is playing MI5 on Saturdays, but they are playing different episodes. If you've missed it tonight you can catch it again at a later date. Please check your local listings for when MI5 is on in your area.

Yeah Baby!-This ISN'T A REAL COVER BUT IT SHOULD BE!

Keen Eddie in the UK- ** In the UK- Keen Eddie is starting on Sky One Mix in the UK on Sunday 2nd November at 8pm. Bruce's episode should be on Sunday 9th November. Thanks Debbie for the info!

There is a Children's Film called Little Heroes THAT Bruce is NOT in. It's a typo in the credits online!

Keen Eddie - ABC Will be creating a show similar to the Keen Eddie concept and will have most of the same cast from the show. I also believe that Simon West is also behind this new show. This is very good news for the Keen Fans. I don't know when it will be or what the name of the show will be called. BRAVO to Bravo for picking up Keen Eddie. A lot of people enjoyed watching Eddie.

Crocodile Bond !- There seems to be a Cocky Croc in Germany who likes to think he's got a chance for the Bond Role... Poor Regine will now have to deal with Rudi's BIG EGO now that I've posted his image online. Regine would he be happy with being the BAB mascot? wink wink

Speaks for itself !- 'Keen Eddie' Gets Second Life on Bravo, DVD By Brian Ford Sullivan CHICAGO (thefutoncritic.com) -- Bravo has picked up the broadcast rights to FOX's short-lived dramedy "Keen Eddie." The cable network will air all 13 episodes of the series, six of which never aired on FOX, beginning in January at the earliest. In addition, the Paramount-distributed series has been slated for a DVD release however no street date has been set. The NBC-owned cable channel reportedly paid just $50,000 per episode for the one-year window, which includes the right to repeat each episode several times a week. Insiders expect Bravo to pair "Eddie" with smash hit "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" on Tuesday nights however no time slot has been officially announced. The sale to Bravo and the DVD release are both seen as efforts by Paramount to recoup the production costs of the series as most shows don't become profitable until after several years on the air. Don't expect Bravo to order episodes beyond the 13 produced for FOX however, as fresh installments would run 15-20 times the cost of the repeat rights. Overall for its seven week run this summer on FOX, the series averaged just 4.9 million viewers and a 2.2 rating and 6 share among adults 18-49. Nevertheless, should even half that number tune into the Bravo run it would be a major success.

This is very good news indeed!

NEWS - Check out the new Bruce Wallpaper by Crk_Girl. I have found contacts for the film THE BROTHEL as well as NEWTON'S LAW, however I am not sure if they are still current. I have my fingers and toes crossed that I hear back so that I will be able to keep everyone informed on these two well awaited films! I CANNOT wait to see these!!!

PIRATE BRUCE -A VERY DEAR FRIEND requested that I make an image of Bruce as a Pirate for the Sequel to PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. She also wanted me to place a list like what I have for Bond, of which I have obliged and AM VERY INTERESTED to know what everyone else thinks as well.

JERRY BRUCKHEIMER SHOULD CAST BRUCE IN THE NEXT FILM. HE WOULD MAKE A FINE PIRATE INDEED!

I had to borrow from Geoffrey Rush's character, however I think Bruce looks mighty fine matey! Shiver me timbers to me boots!
A little BRUCE TRIVIA... in the Pirates of the Caribbean, Lee Arenberg played one of the Pirates. Lee worked with Bruce on the set of DND, he played the Dwarf! It was very cool to see him in this film. He did a wonderful job!
