Sometimes inspiration comes from odd places. And in this case it came from Germany.
Digging for music that sounded completely different from the regurjitated crap I hear on the radio nowadays produced a video called Brennende Liebe by a group called Oomph. The chick in the black robe with red hair caught my attention.................. and she wouldn't freakin let go. |

| ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper Tribute

‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper, Wrestling Legend,Actor, Dead at 61.
Wrestling legend “Rowdy” Roddy Piper has died at age 61, TMZ reports.
Piper died of cardiac arrest in his Hollywood home, according to the website.
Piper (real name: Roderick George Toombs) rose to wrestling fame in the 1980s, and was admitted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.
Piper was one of the wrestling league’s most popular villains, playing up Toombs’ Scottish heritage — he was actually born in Canada, though his character was billed as from Glasgow — with his signature kilt and the bagpipe music that would accompany him into the ring.
Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Toombs made his pro wrestling debut in Winnipeg at age 15, eventually making his way to America, where he landed a gig with the American Wrestling Association, which ran from 1973 to 1975.
He later moved on to the National Wrestling Alliance before signing on with the WWE — at the time, the WWF — rising to iconic status. In addition to his ring time, Piper hosted the talk show “Piper’s Pit,” which was later refashioned as a podcast.
In professional wrestling, he was best known for his work with the World Wrestling Federation in the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s. Although he was Canadian, due to his Scottish heritage he was billed as coming from Glasgow in Scotland and was known for his signature kilt and bagpipe entrance music. He earned the nickname "Rowdy" by displaying his trademark "Scottish" rage, spontaneity and quick wit. Despite being a crowd favorite for his rock star-like persona, he often played a villain. Aside from his ring name, he was also known by the nickname "Hot Rod".
Piper racked up dozens of film and TV credits, starring in numerous action B-movies and later doing voice work”. The most famous of Piper's acting exploits was in the 1988 science fiction film They Live, directed by John Carpenter, which spawned the catchphrase Piper came up with - "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And I’m all out of bubble gum." - As well as the long fight scene over sunglasses against Keith David which took three weeks to rehearse. The line and the fight scene has since been parodied in Duke Nukem, South Park and Adventure Time. Entertainment Weekly wrote that Piper's role in They Live made him a "cult icon" and "some kind of legend". Rolling Stone wrote that Piper "had a memorable career as an cult actor", citing They Live and the 1987 film Hell Comes to Frogtown.
Piper appeared as a wrestler loosely based on himself in an episode called "Crusader" from Walker, Texas Ranger. Piper appeared as a prison antagonist in an episode of The Outer Limits series

This is Buliwyf from the movie 'The 13th Warrior'. He was the first one to volunteer so he was the 1st warrior. This is the scene just after the last battle when he sits down and dies from the poison inflicted upon him by the 'mother' of the Wendol.
That is an awesome movie. Especially that last battle scene. Buliwyf is on his death bed. Everyone is just waiting for word of his passing while they prepare for the enemy. Suddenly he comes staggering out with only his sword. No armor except for those bracers on his forearms. He plants himself at the forefront and lets the blanket drop from his back. When he starts to recite that prayer or whatever it is as the enemy rides over the hill and approaches the fort..."Lo there do I see my father. Lo there do I see my Mother and my sisters and my brothers..."
Talk about goose bumps.
Awesome movie. Best version of the Beowulf legend ever.
P.S. That guy who played Buliwyf would make an awesome Marvel version of Thor. |

| Normally, for most of my stuff, I use photographic backgrounds. This was an experiment in creating a background 100% digitally. I think it would stand well on it's own. Not so sure with her in there (even though that is one of my favorite lightsabers...) |

Seeing Vincent's Robbie The Robot posting in the members' gallery prompted me to rake this out. It's not in the same league, but it is in the public gallery!

I don't remember were I just read that
Dwayne"The Rock"Johnson has been given a reboot script to read and decide
if he wants the part in the Remake of
"Big Trouble in Little China"
now I did sub in Lucy Liu who has not been asked

Has anyone else read or heard about this? |
