One of the only other movies I think could be remade well is “They Live” (1988).

Play That Rock n’ Roll @playthatpodcast.bsky.social · 1d

The original is of the very few movies I actually believe is a good candidate for a modern remake. So I have high expectations for this!

Here's my review of Carl Palmer's recent "ELP Legacy" concert at the South Milwaukee PAC. It was one of the most unique concepts for a show I've ever seen, and they pulled it off brilliantly! Go see this show if it comes to your town!

One of the best shows I saw all year!

It's not quite as legendary as the photo you've posted, but the new lead singer of Molly Hatchet also has a panel van with that epic Frazetta artwork on the side.

And to your point -- he is NOT married 😂

Lost Tom Petty eight years ago today. Still the heaviest rock star death in recent memory for me.

Deeply saddened by the passing of the legendary Italian artist Renato Casaro. I had the honor of interviewing him for my books, and his iconic poster art for #FlashGordon and #ConanTheBarbarian remains unforgettable. Rest in peace, maestro. #RIPRenatoCasaro

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

I'm really hoping @iwriteok.bsky.social covers the Jimmy Buffett story in Part 2.

New Behind the Bastards ⭐

Robert tells the story of legendary lawman Buford Pusser, whose lies about his real life inspired the movie 'Walking Tall' and helped create Hollywood's conception of the ideal lawman.

I feel real bad for everyone who's been struggling to care for a delusional family member, watching whatever progress they've made get annihilated by ChatGPT in an afternoon.
