the infamous Johnny Blaze!

all Method Man/Wu-Tang fans have heard the name Johnny Blaze. now all you who are too illiterate (or maybe just too cool in your own mind) to read a comic and see what had the Ticallion Stallion so excited he needed to rip off his namesake, will finally get a chance to catch up...
what am i talking about? catch the first teaser for the upcoming (as in feb '07) Ghost Rider movie (starring Nic Cage as the aforementioned John-John Phenomenon...), based on one of the illest comic book characters ever created!

the short version: Johnny Blaze is a stunt-motorcyclist, who performs death-defying stunts for entertainment, similar to Evel Knievel (props to those out there old enough to know who THAT is). anyways, he sells his soul (idiot!) to save the life of someone he loves, inadvertantly binding himself to the Spirit of Vengeance, Zarathos. the bad news: this periodically (i think they're going with "At Night, In the Presence of Evil") and involuntarily transforms him into a super-violent, fiery chain-swingin' demon-possessed psycho biker. the good news: he kicks Asses that truly need kicking as the vigilante Ghost Rider! holla!

anyways, here's why i can almost guarantee i'll like this movie:

1.motorcycle on fire: check!
2.nic cage: check!

what are we missing? oh yeah! let's throw in
3.excessively hot Eva Mendes (Hitch, Training Day) as Roxanne Simpson.

plus, he's going up against the devil's bastard son, the ill-like-no-one-is Blackheart! what more can i ask?

peace.
samax.
