Ronnie James Dio died on 16 May, 2010. I was in a pub, drinking a beer when somebody came in and gave the news. Half of the pub practically dropped their drinks; and jaws. It’s one of those things that, when you think about it, is sort of logical but… it just seems wrong. Anyway, I’m not gonna go into exaggerating stuff and start melodrama. Dio was a king of rock, and he will be…

Iron Man: the movie trailer up
I’ve been a big fan of the comic book series, since I was a little kid. When I first heard at the begging of the summer that a Iron Man movie was in the works I was ecstatic, to say the least, but at the same time skeptical, I’ve seen a lot of Marvel comics film adaption in my life that went terribly wrong (i.e. Hulk, Daredevil etc).
