  1. It was announced a few months back that this was going ahead, with the director of the rush hour films (the name escapes me) directing it

    Brett Ratner.

    I think he's an okay director. He was cool back when he was a film student at NYU, and Money Talks, as well as Rush Hour 1 and 3 were good, but since then his stuff has been not so good.

    Also, a cool little tid bit. He directed Heavy D's music video for "Nuttin But Love" You can see his wife in the video as well.

    But a Beverly Hills Cop 4 doesn't sound like a good idea. 3 wasn't that good, so who knows.

  2. I think it would be great for Will to do something similar to Jethro Tull. At their height, they would play Madison Square Garden, and also play smaller venues like rock clubs and medium size venues. I think Will Should do both. He really needs to connect with the fans again.

  3. to be honest, I'd prefer a new album with good songs, that can surpass the sales and popularity of BWS. I know it can happen, especially now, when it seems that what was old is now new again, he could really do well in these times in pop culture. If he did something really old school and made it good and had an actual tour. It would be great.

  4. I remember a son leaking online about a year or maybe two years ago. I'm glad that nothing else has leaked, but I hope he tries doing things more in the style of thriller or off the wall as opposed to in the style of Invincible.

  5. I ended up getting this e-mail from my professor today:

    Dear Music faculty and students,

    I'm writing to inform you of some terrible news. Anthony Priolo, a Music pre-major who was in MUS 125 this semester, was killed a couple nights ago in a head-on automobile collision. He was coming back from rehearsing with his band, and another car struck him at 90 mph. Anthony, the driver, was killed instantly; miraculously, the other person in the car walked away unharmed.

    Anthony was generally very quiet, and I must admit that I barely knew him. All I knew is that he was a good student and that he intended to make music his career. But I imagine that some of you knew him better, or were friends with him or made music with him, and I can imagine how terribly shocking this awful news must be. For those of you who are personally affected by Anthony's passing, I extend to you my sincere sympathies. Even for those who didn't know him well, it's still a loss. It's always sad when someone dies -- but it's even sadder when the person is young and gifted, and when so much promise and hope is cruelly extinguished in a tragic instant.

    I will buy a condolence card and bring it in to MUS 125 class tomorrow at 10:10 for all of us to sign. If any of you would like to speak to a grief counselor, please don't hesitate to let me know.

    The details of the funeral mass, to be held on Friday, are in today's Staten Island Advance.

    Sincerely,

    Dr. Sylvia Kahan, Professor of Music

    I honestly didn't know him, maybe by face, but that would be it. I'm actually not in his class, but since I know there are a lot of musicians and artists here, so its really losing a member or the family in that sense.
