The Apology!
June 13 they try to make up for the bad movie from 2003. This is a quick reset since it took Superman over 20 years to get back on the big screen after it's last failure.
Here is the trailer. See you in the Theater.
The other day I had Sid and Marty Kroft show on the blog today I have another
Wonder Bug. Anyone else remember this one? I was 10 I think and we would run home from school and watch Wonder Bug. My brother and I would fight over who got to be Who. I'm thinking we may have been younger now but I don't know.
Anyway here is Wonder Bug.
I was trolling You Tube Like I do most nights and fouond this video.
Its a great interview over dinner from some show on cable.
The Show is called Dinner for Five. I'm not really a fan but the people at the table are a good set and i'll try and catch it on TV.
Trailer #2 for the July Movie. I hope it's a good as the first. NO really I hope it's better. I thought the first movie was a little slow. And I pretty much hated everthing after they got back to Gothem. I want to knoe why they don't use the best Joker ever for the movies. Wonder who?
Here it is Mark Hamill Luke himeself as Joker.
Just in case you think he is limited to Bad Guys.
And incase you want to look for more of Marks voice work Just go here.
Here is a Snickers(?) Commerical. I'm Batman taken to a whole new level.
It gave me a good snort.
Swamp Thing has made it up on HULU.com For those old enough to remember the last centruy and fans of the comic it was a weak wishy washy version of the comic. But it was the Swamp Thing on tv.
If you haven't seen it before here it is.
Bio from Wikipedia "The comic is set in the early 20th Century, when scientist Alex Olsen is caught in a lab explosion caused by his co-worker, Damian Ridge, who intended to kill him to gain the hand of Olsen's wife Linda. Olsen is physically altered by chemicals and the forces within the swamp. He morphs into a monstrous creature who kills Ridge before the latter can murder Linda. Unable to make Linda realize his true identity, the Swamp Thing sadly ambles to his boggy home."
Happy Viewing

Long Live Champions.
I was on the radio the other day talking about Wonder Women and someone mentioned Electra Woman & Dyna Girl I hadn't seen it in years and had to get on the net and look it up. It brought back mem of when I was a little boy and wanted to be a super hero. That hasn't changed by the way, I still want to be super now though it's super parent instead of super hero.
Well here is the opening to Electra Woman & Dyna Girl
Editor Note A Change in the Power was made between the first story and this one. He no longer needs a 10th of a mile no He needs 10 feet. Sorry for the change but I had to get out of it someway.

I love crates. OK, Maybe it's not love. But if this one keeps me alive much longer I plan to marry it. I kind of have a strong liking for walls as well especially the ones keeping me from getting shot from behind, but they are also not letting me get up and run for it. Guess you could say I have a love hate relationship with the walls.
Between me and the door there are two guards both have guns and I cant get up to a run in this room with out being shot. My only hopes are surrender or rescue or maybe the hand of god could come down and pull me from here and lay me down in a nice soft bed surrounded by ..... I'll stop there just encase my mom gets to read this.
"I surrender" I say and then realize I should have had some one tell me where I was going and what language they speak here. " Poly view you all Fron-say? Speakety Dutch, got a sense of humour?" I ask.
"Yes I do have a sense of humor" says a hollow sounding voice from the hall. " A very good sense of humor in fact. Its so good I will tell them to only shoot you if you stand up. So please crawl from behind the crate of explosives and lets us discuss what we will be doing with you."
The guy walking into the doorway is about as big as a Mac truck and covered from head to toe in red metal armor. And he has a bulls eye on his chest. Why I ask myself would anyone put a bulls eye on his chest? Did you know I was ADD? Is that a squirrel?
"Hey Iron man couldn't your mother buy you a real costume for Halloween?" My mouth is going t get me into some real trouble one day.
"I see I'm not he only one with a grave sense of humor. now if you would please crawl out here and save me having to rebuild this end of the building." replied my Unknightly friend.
So what could I do I crawled out from behind the crate. I was about to stand up when the guy reminded me he said they would shoot me if i stood up. You know its really intimidating to be the only guy on your hands and knees while everyone else is standing up. It kind of makes you feel your about 3 feet tall. No offense meant to people three feet tall of course, I just didn't like it.
"What can I do for you?" I asked. I was trying to get control of the situation and away. But it wasn't going to work. I'm sure he say through my plan because his next line was.
"You could die, but then you are going to any way just as soon as I find out who you are and what your doing here. Take him below and don't let him out of your site for a second." He then turned to exit he little room we were in and the two gun men grabbed my arms and pulled me up. They were holding me by my jacket, as we went out into the hallway. It wasn't a very long hall just 20 feet long, which happened to be just 10 feet longer then I need to get up to speed and away from here. They were each holding me by arm of a jacket. They weren't holding me just the jacket and that was their first and last mistake. Off came the jacket and i;m sprinting down the hall. All I need is 5 steps.
4 and my jacket is off and falling to the floor behind me. The guys weren't really all that bright of course I'm gong to make a break for it.
3 I hear the guys pulling their guns back up and on to my back, The walls and doors are starting to blur as I accelerate. This is the fun part I can still breath and my clothes are still on and I'm moving.
2 Almost up to speed the room is fuzzy and so are the clothes. Its great that my Ac-ten includes clothes in the little pieces of toilet he mails off so I'm not standing around nude all the time but man does it ever burn when the air friction causes the stuff to catch fire. I hear a explosion and there is a deep burning feeling in my back. but I only need ..
1 more step and everything is gone. The hall, the walls, everything is gone except the lights. Lots of little lights and the one big set. The 10 lights that make up the homing target. The Bright boys figured out I would need to find my way back and since the only thing I can see in the run fog is the parts of my mom toilet they made a ring out of 10 pieces. This ring is home. Its where I'm going and I hope they have something for the stitch in my back it burns like a ............
They often ask me what I think about while I'm running. Right now I'm thinking how much I want to stop and rest. Just a couple of more steps and I'm in the "landing bay".
Its not really a landing bay it's just our joke. Jason the Ac-ten is the guy that normally handles my missions. He figures out how to get the pieces to the place I need to go. I just go there.
I just hope hes waiting on me.
2 More steps , the pain is getting really bad now. I've only been running for a second or to but each step is taking forever and all I can do to make
1 the last step. Now I can rest.
0 "Jason you there? Man my side is just burning . Jason?" I look around the landing bay and Jason is coming. He has a phone and a first aid kit. That's good I'm a really tired and the room is spinning. Hope he has some pants for me I hate landing its so embarrassing. I feel the burning place in my back and my hand is wet. Way is my hand wet? " Jason something is wrong"
"I know man... Just sit down and let me take care of it. OK? Just sit...."
rooms spinning, pain, side, dark, arms catching me, holding me, pain ..................
Here is a Ebay Auction for Candel lighters. Its Super hero Art. A lot of DC stuff got pulled so lets bid up the rest and make more for the charity.
Marvel is proud to have the number one movie. Its proud to have the highest rated franchises and now its about to trash it all just like they did to comic books sales. I used to buy comics, a lot. Now not so. Why, instead of making good stories and good books they stated selling four covers of one book. Or lets have cross over after cross over. I was a poor little boy (ok not so little) with a limited budget. I got tired of buying every book that came down the line.
And now you ask why is this important. Well Marvel is doing the same thing again with TV. Now they have Marvel Cross over TV shows.
Lets see whats on
They have Spader man. I watch it. It's A little anime for me but watchable.
Now they are adding a show on BET. I hope to watch it.
And shows on Nicktoons.
Today they are adding another show read about it here.
If they keep adding shows they will dillute the product so much no one will watch anything. Don't get me wrong A good super hero cartoon is going to get attention. But mostly they aren't showing Good Super hero Cartoons. Just look at anything on the WB for the last five years.
Thanks

If you are interested in NBC's Heroes and would like a little mid season update for this year here.
Its from TVGUIDE Via Ain't it Cool.
New season on September 15, 2008. Don't hold your breath.

I'm no hero. And I didn't want to be.
I didn't want to be standing in the middle of a fire fight. I really have no reason to be here. Yea I could travel to alpha-Proxima 4 in the time it takes for most people to cross the street. I guess it's kind of cool that I travel so much past the speed of light that it appears to be teleportation to any one else. And its nice to be on a super hero team. But it sucks that there is someone trying to shoot me and the only thing I can do about it is lay here on the floor hiding behind a crate and pray someone will rescue me.
It all started when I was 12 my powers as many of them do started to manifest themselves. I would go for a run in class and seconds later I'd be in a different country then I had started in. Naked. Did I mention the whole naked part.
Really it doesn't do a boy from Iowa a hell of a lot of good to be flown back home by the US Government with indecent exposure charges from Kenya on your ass. And I mean that in a most painful belt on my ass kind of way.
Anyway after a couple of incidents like that you get a reputation you know. About the only way I was going to be able to make it out of high school was.
A get out of gym.
2 Change my name an get a secret identity
C God comes down and tapes me on the shoulder and make it all better.
4 Get a job for the government.
Guess which one I got. You guessed God Came down and put me in the army. At 14 years of a age I found myself a super secret government weapon. One of many that Old Uncle Sugar had recruited to help in the war on terror
Only one problem. And it was a big one. I had what is referred to as a Non Goal Oriented Power. I'm a NOGO or as the real heroes call us Chumpions.
My power was great only I couldn't take anything with me. Couldn't stop is less then 4 seconds and could only move a 1.86x10 to the 34 power kilometers per second or faster.
Yea Einstein take that. Old I=E x R means nothing to me. Guess you should have taken me into count with your equation shouldn't you.
So after ten or twelve times of me nearly dieing while I tried to us my power and found myself floating in the depths of space minus a vacuum suit, oxygen, or a map back home. I called it quits. No more for me thank you. I like oxygen, and breathing and living..
Thats when they found my other power. No mater where I was I could always get back to my moms house. Actually the bathroom of my Mom's house. Actually the Toilet in the bathroom from my Mom's house. And no mater where that toilet was I could find it. They called it Homo-auto-orienteering. Kind of like a homing pigeon, but with out the feathers.
Want to talk about a couple of worthless powers. I could travel the galaxy in heartbeats but he only thing I could find is my Mom's toilet. But you know those smart asses in the Army. A deals a deal so I had to spend the next five years working for them. And they had a plan for me. They broke a piece of my moms toilet off and shipped it across the country. And you know what. I could find it and get there in the blink of an eye.
And so the light dawned in some CIA bright Boy's forehead. If I could travel to any part of the toilet just send parts of the toilet to every place they wanted me to go. Only I still couldn't carry anything.
But you think that did stopped the CIA. They found I could carry anything they was implanted under my skin, down my throat, or up my... you get the idea. Boy did they have fun sticking me full of err things. I never knew how much sh... is my mom going to be reading this. Never mind.
But how does that lead me here you ask. With guys with guns trying to take yours truly's life. Go ahead an ask I'll wait...........Still Waiting.
Alright ask already.
I have to have some running room to get up to speed, about a tenth of a mile will normally do it. Anything less and I just bounce off of walls but let me get to speed and everything is just kind of out of the way, walls ceiling, floors all seem to just not be there. And I can stop on a dime. Really A dime. They put a piece of toilet on one once and stopped on it, in a closed closet. Then I was trapped until someone would open the door and let me out. No handle on the inside you see.
Which brings us back to here and why I just don't run away instead of hiding behind a little wooden crate. I have to have some room to get up to speed. and this room is way to short. And unless I get moving fast I'm still slower then a bullet. So I'm going to lay here. Press the transmitter implanted in my stomach and pray that God, or the Army has some way to get me out. If not .......
