Calvillo Becomes All-Time Leader

Anthony Calvillo, the Montreal Allouettes quarterback has surpassed Damon Allen to become pro football's all-time leading passer. That's pro football, including any pivot that ever played in the CFL, NFL, NFL Europe, or any other pro league. That's impressive folks.

Calvillo hooked up with Jamel Richardson gave Calvillo 72,387 career yards, which broke Damon Allen’s previous mark of 72,381 as the Alouettes defeated the Toronto Argonauts 29-19.

It took Calvillo only 12 years after starting his CFL career with the expansion Las Vegas Posse during the failed CFL U.S. expansion in 1994 to become the top dog.

After the Posse folded a year later, Calvillo was selected first overall by the Hamilton Tiger Cats in a dispersal draft. Calvillo signed as a free agent with the Alouettes in 1998. He led the Alouettes to the Grey Cup in 2002 for the first time in 25 years, where he was named the games MVP. He went on to win two more Grey Cups with Montreal in 2009 and 2010. He also led the Als to the 2008 Grey Cup final in a loss to the Calgary Stampeders, although Calvillo still captured game MVP honors for the second time.

The 20 Best Horror Movies of All Time?

I put a question mark in the title because this list is of course all subjective. Some you will agree with, some you won't. But Halloween season is upon us once again, so Hollywood (and the indies) are gearing up to roll out their slasher films and psychological thrillers.

From Big Hollywood.

Question: Where is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Or to a lesser extent, Chucky? And my God, where's Psycho or The Birds, Bram Stoker's Dracula and even the original Count Dracula with Christopher Lee? There's even the French film (one of many between 2001-2010) Haute Tension (aka Switchblade Romance) Actually the French have made very good horror/slasher films throughout the last 10 years or so. Many of them are considered "offensive" to the fragile sensibilities of North American movie-goers, due to their very graphic death and sex scenes.

WTF!? Are They Serious?

KISS is reportedly thinking of doing a duet with Lady Gaga. While this chills me to the bone, apparently Paul Stanley thinks it's "not improbable."

And, um, where was I when they announced the new album due out in January is going to be called "Monster?"

They Said it Would Never Happen

Actually he said it would never happen, but Gene Simmons, the blood-spitting, girl-chasing, bassist of KISS; the man who once compared the "institution" of marriage to a mental institution, got married yesterday to long-time girlfriend and mother of his two adult children, ex-playboy model and actress Shannon Tweed.

A story the day before.

And You Thought the Caskets Were Tasteless

Ooh boy. This is just getting too much even for me.

The Dark Knight Rises

Christopher Nolen is back in what he says is "the last chapter of our Batman saga." The director, Hollywood darling and apparently the man that can do no wrong behind the camera , is in the director's chair for what appears to be just that, the final chapter (although we've all heard that before with Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Star Trek to name but a few)

All indications are that this will be the last Batman film, at least under Nolen's watch. A good opinion piece on this can be found here.

Here is the official full trailer:

Legendary Rock and Roll Lyricist Jerry Leiber Dies at 78

Jerry Lieber, along with his long-time partner, composer Mike Stoller who together created some of the miost memorable songs in rock and roll history, has died.

You may not know him by name, but along with Stoller, they were one of the most prolific writing teams in music history. They wrote such classic hits such as Hound Dog and Jailhouse Rock for Elvis Presley, Stand by Me by Ben E. King and The Coasters' Yakkety Yak. They compiled a great anthology of hits over their career that were recorded at different times for such acts as The Beatles, (including their early hit, Twist and Shout) Brenda Lee, James Brown and the Everly Brothers.
