Actor Casey Kasem Dies At 82!

It is with a sad, bereaved heart that I announce the death of the beloved DJ/music host/voice actor, Casey Kasem. Casey Kasem (1932-2014) died this Father’s Day after being hospitalized for a couple of weeks.

The man was known for hosting American countdown music shows as well as for his foray into voice acting, including voicing Robin in a few cartoons as well as a few Transformers in the animated series. But, his most famous role was that of the voice of Shaggy Rogers in many Scooby-Doo adaptations.

This is someone whom I really loved and probably the first celebrity for whose death I’ll actually cry. Goodbye, Casey Kasem! We’re gonna miss you!

“The Incredibles 2” And “Cars 3” Confirmed!

In news that’s taking the Internet by storm, Disney has officially announced that there is a sequel to both “The Incredibles” and “Cars” in the works!

Fans have nigh unanimously been asking for a sequel to “The Incredibles” for the longest while, and now their prayers have been answered!

Regarding “Cars 3”, people tend to either have a “meh” attitude towards it or a “Oh darn, why?!” attitude towards it.

I personally am looking forward to “The Incredibles 2” and although I’m not excited for “Cars 3”, I still want to see it. They better bring back Michael Caine as a voice! I want to hear him say “You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!” in the film…unless he’s said it already in “Cars 2” and I missed it.

Anyway, you can read more about it here: http://variety.com/2014/film/news/disney-plans-third-cars-the-incredibles-2-movies-1201137824/
