We are less than a week away from our documentary World Premiere, "John G. Avildsen: King of the Underdogs", featuring Sylvester Stallone, Ralph Macchio, Martin Scorsese, Burt Reynolds and many more! The film will premiere at the historic Lobero Theatre in beautiful Santa Barbara, CA this Saturday, February 4th at 7:00pm. Tickets are $15 at the door. The theater has 500+ seats so please forward this to anyone you know in the Southern California area so we can fill them up! Not only will John G. Avildsen be in attendance but The Karate Kid himself, Ralph Macchio, is flying in from NY to attend as well as some of our other cast members. We only have one World Premiere for this bad boy and we've worked hard on this for 3 years, so if you can, make it happen! Please let me know if you have any questions and hope to see you all there!

Black Belt School

 

I've always been confused by the "We are a black belt school" signs.

 

I also always have to chuckle a bit when I see places list as many martial arts styles as they can on their windows.

Jaden Smith threatens to quit LA after failing driving test

(bangshowbiz 1-13-17)

Jaden Smith has said he wants to quit Los Angeles after failing his driving test.

The 18-year-old actor-and-rapper - the son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith - decided to share his disappointing news in a Instagram Live video in which he began ranting about wanting to move out of the 'City of Angels' because there are too many "bad things" there.

In the video - which Jaden made in the parking lot of the Department of Motor Vehicles - he said: "It's going to be so funny to tell my dad that I've failed straight up. I'm about to move out of LA. There's a lot of bad things here. Create the life that you want for yourself."

He then cryptically added: "Everybody follow your heart, you know what I'm saying? Do exactly what you want to do, be who you want to be. Don't try to be somebody else. It's hard these days to really create the life you want for yourself because there's nobody really here that's like supporting the youth or the youths' creativity."

Jaden - whose 16-year-old sister Willow has a successful pop and acting career - also teased that he has got some major things happening at the end of 2017 which are "beyond" his usual music and fashion pursuits.

The 'Karate Kid' star - who has his own clothing and lifestyle brand MSFTSrep - said: "At the end of 2017, I'm gonna do some dope - some really, really dope, inspirational stuff that's beyond just music and clothes. Nothing about this life makes any sense. Why aren't we Instagramming Live about people saving lives?"
