"Right now, thanks to Gail Simone, some little young red-haired girl is being nice to the weird round-headed kid down the block ... "
"The best part is that right now in some boonies somewhere, what Gail wrote and what Titans aired is changing some young girl’s life."
"I just came across this note from 2016 while I was searching for something else. So, Randy, you've got your wish, three times over: Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), Black Widow, and plans for a Birds…"
""I didn't notice Margot Robbie on Pan Am"
Bite your tongue!
(Has she been in other stuff?) "
"I've seen a few episodes to the Malcolm McDowell version of Fantasy Island, and I can't say I took note of Mädchen Amick (but then, I didn't notice Margot Robbie on Pan Am, either, since it was Before They Were Stars). Never…"

"Titans" Easter egg honors Gail Simone
Gail Simone posted a lengthy item on Facebook, here.Gail Simone said:Okay, this is something I have to express, wasn't sure how to address it, so I'll just ramble a bit. My apologies.Many of you already have heard me talk about how Barbara Gordon was a thunderbolt in my life when I was just a little girl. I had never seen anything like her...I was the only redheaded girl in my tiny…See More
"We discussed this over here, and the reaction was mixed. Some found it spot-on with droll British humour; others (like me) found it more "dumb" than "funny.""
"I watched the Malcolm McDowell version. While the original show implied a connection to heaven, the second one implied the opposite. I thought it was an interesting take.
I recently watched the movie Fantasy Island (2020) from BlumHouse…"
"That sounds like a great way of continuing Fantasy Island. So many TV dramas have to craft their mythology from scratch -- even remakes have to establish it all anew. But with this, while the details all have to be fleshed out, the mythology of…"
"Clark, the Malcolm McDowell version of Fantasy Island is from the 90s. I didn't mind it too much. It had one thing that I loved, that no other version had: Mädchen Amick. Worth it just for her.
I am interested in the new one, too."
"I hadn't heard of that one. I'll have to check it out."
"There always seems to be a tendency to refer to Columbo as "bumbling." Of course he was pretending to be that way.
Rarely, you would see him talking with authority and clarity to a group of officers who hung on every word and…"
"As always, the question is "Which version?"
The original Unknown Soldier, who was mostly featured in Star-Spangled War Stories back in the day, was not immortal. The second one, who appeared in a 12-issue maxi series (December…"
"This isn't exactly a new season entry, it's a summer show, but I'll include it here: the latest version of Fantasy Island.
I well remember the original from ABC back in late '70s/early '80s. I'm not so fond of the late…"
"I had to look this up. Apparently, "FX on Hulu" is a specific thing that is only available to Hulu subscribers.
The FX and FXX cable channels are distinct from "FX on Hulu."

"DC eventually bought its way out of that little problem."
"It would be nice, but I don't know if there is one. One of the "Hero Histories" in Amazing Heroes did cover that, but I don't remember which one."

Ten years ago today ...
Posted on February 20, 2011 at 7:56pm 19 Comments 5 Likes
On this day 10 years ago, I was in an accident that totaled my car. I am grateful today for three things:
That I was in the car by myself; I doubt a passenger would have survived.
That I walked away from it whole; save for some pain in my side that lasted about a week, I was and remain physically sound.
That God saw fit to spare me, that I may carry on in this world and be the husband, father and person He wants me to be.
I am also grateful to have…

From the old board, I launched the "President Luthor" thread with this post (July 21, 2003):
At my last visit to my friendly neighborhood comics shop, I say the President Luthor trade paperback. I haven't read the Superman titles for several years (heresy, I know), and the notion of Lex Luthor becoming President of the U.S. wasn't enough to entice me back.
It's a nifty idea, I'll admit ... but the time to do it was very shortly after the… Continue

Bugs Bunny, the greatest baseball player ever
Posted on August 18, 2009 at 2:49pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
I just ran across this sportswriter's analysis of "Baseball Bugs," the classic Looney Tunes short in which Bugs Bunny takes on the Gas House Gorillas all by himself -- starting in the fourth inning of a game in which the Gorillas are leading the Tea Totallers 54-0 -- and wins 96-95. It's funny because it's so, so serious ... "Bugs Bunny, Greatest Banned Player Ever"

The church is Wesley-Knox United Church in London, Ontario. They drew a sizable crowd to Chaney's Phantom.
I have some links below. You'd have to contact them for further information:
