Live Sex Pistols DVD out next week

Due Oct. 14 from Rhino Records, "There Will Always Be an England" captures the Sex Pistols' November 2007 reunion shows in a concert film directed by Julien Temple.

According to Rhino:

The DVD also includes the new 80-minute Temple-directed feature The Knowledge, which documents the Pistols poking around London town and revisiting their favorite haunts from back in the day. Temple first filmed the band in 1976, and previously directed the Sex Pistols documentaries The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle ('80) and The Filth And The Fury ('00).

Avengers join slate of animated Marvel TV series

Marvel Comics has an Avengers 'toon in the works. Details:

Marvel Entertainment, announced today the production of an all new animated
series, THE AVENGERS: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Production on 26
half-hour episodes is already underway using the production services of
Film Roman, producer of the Simpsons and King of the Hill.

The new series, expected to be available for broadcast in 2011,
continues on Marvel's already impressive television line-up which
includes the all-new Wolverine and the X-Men and Iron Man: Armored
Adventures series that will both debut on Nicktoons in 2009. Marvel
Animation will also debut the all-new series Marvel Super Hero Squad and
The Black Panther next year.

THE AVENGERS: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is an all-new property featuring
some of Marvel's all-time favorite characters including Iron Man, Hulk,
Captain America, Thor, Giant Man and Wasp. When the planet is
threatened by Super Villains, time traveling conquerors, alien invaders,
mythical monsters and mad robots bent on the total destruction of
humanity, when forces of evil are so overwhelming that no single hero
has the power to save the world, when there is no hope left...the
Avengers assemble!

"The addition of THE AVENGERS: Earth's Mightiest Heroes to our quickly
expanding animation slate continues our plan to complement each of our
tentpole live action features with an animated series," said Eric
Rollman, President of Animation. "This new ensemble series tracks
perfectly with our highly anticipated 'road to the Avengers' strategy
which includes some of Marvel's biggest and most beloved characters, and
which kicks off with two Avengers' themed feature films in summer 2011."

"Thunderbirds" creator Gerry Anderson isn't too excited about the show's Blu Ray release.

I'm very much against Blu-ray because it produces such superb pictures that people can see the wires that I tried for so many years to get rid of. Now they're going to sing out like mad!

Sunshine Superman DVD documents Donovan

Info:

It would be fairly easy to contend that Donovan is one of the greatest figures in rock history. You could cite his thirteen British hit singles. You could cite his innovative, ingenious and meticulously textured blending of disparate genres such as jazz and folk and rock, not to mention medieval, Indian and Caribbean music. You could cite the songs of his, which have been covered by heavy hitters such as Joan Baez, Kate Bush, Hole, the Allman Brothers Band, Nigel Kennedy, Eric Burdon, Jefferson Airplane, Al Kooper and Stephen Stills. Likewise, you could cite the influence he has had on the likes of the Beatles and Marc Bolan. But it would be equally easy to contend that, notwithstanding such mighty achievements, Donovan remains one of rock music s most underrated and misunderstood figures.

Sunshine Superman The Journey Of Donovan is the ultimate life story of the 60´s folk-pop phenomenon. The deluxe double-DVD set contains classic 60´s film and TV appearances, rare archive footage and never-before-seen material as well as 5 previously unreleased songs and all of the hits. With appearances by Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, Mickie Most, Rick Rubin, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Franco Zeffirelli, David Lynch (and many more) and a 40 page booklet chock full of informative liner notation and exclusive photo material, Sunshine Superman is the ultimate story of Donovan s remarkable and unique four decade career.
