‘Lord of Illusions’ Star Hospitalized After Suicide Attempt
Literally a day after I went on a Twitter rant about the local news being worse than anything you’ll ever see on the big screen, ABC shamelessly shares a horrifying story about an ex-movie star who attempted to take his own life. In a world where news outlets brag about scoring exclusive interviews with the parents of rape victims, they also have audio of a 9-1-1 call where Lord of Illusions, The Silence of the Lambs, The X-Files and Thinner star Daniel von Bargen survives a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. We will not link the audio. If you’re a sick f*ck, go Google it.
According to the call, Von Bargen shot himself to avoid going to the hospital. He is a diabetic and was supposed to have two of his toes amputated that day. According to Montgomery Police Srgt. Greg Vondenbenken, Von Bargen was “seriously injured.” They took him to Bethesda North hospital, where Vondenbenken says that his condition is improving.
It’s a sad world we live in when local news outlets celebrate their success at the expense of another human being. It’s a tough, brutal world we live in and all of our thoughts go out to Von Bargen and his family.

‘Dinosaurs of the Wild West’ Trailer – ‘Primitive War’ Director Adds Dinosaurs to the Western Genre!
The director of last year’s Vietnam dinosaur movie Primitive War, Luke Sparke is back this year with another brand new twist on the dinosaur movie: Dinosaurs of the Wild West.
Inspired by the artwork of creator Shaun Keenan and expanded into an original cinematic universe by filmmaker Luke Sparke, the project blends western frontier mythology with a world where dinosaurs and humans have existed side by side for generations.
A 2-part cinematic event, Dinosaurs of the Wild West is now funding on Kickstarter.
Pre-ordering the first two episodes on Kickstarter is currently the only way you can experience this new frontier. And you’ve got just 30 days to place your pre-order through Kickstarter.
Watch the official trailer for Dinosaurs of the Wild West below.
Here’s the official synopsis: “In an alternate frontier, humanity navigates a dangerous land where every journey, every town, and every war depend on the giant creatures that shaped civilization itself. But now, something is rising that threatens to change the world and the dinosaur connection forever. Dinosaurs of the Wild West is an epic adventure series that reimagines the American frontier through a world millions of years in the making.”
“This is an opportunity for dinosaur enthusiasts, Primitive War fans and cinema buffs to be a part of the production process and create something the world has never seen. We want to create something that feels completely fresh while still capturing the sense of wonder and adventure that first made us fall in love with dinosaur stories,” said Sparke.
Also coming soon from Luke Sparke? Primitive War 2! Expanding the scope and mythology, Primitive War 2 is said to be a darker, more intense escalation — and more grounded war epic — continuing the distinctive blend of military realism and survival horror.
