ClarkKent_DC replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion ABC passes on proposed pilot featuring Marvel superheroines"I agree. I also think examples from 14 years ago and 34 years ago are too old to be relevant. "
Richard Willis replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion ABC passes on proposed pilot featuring Marvel superheroines"I think in the case of the Supergirl and Catwoman movies, the problem was lousy writing, not that the leads were female."
ClarkKent_DC replied to ClarkKent_DC's discussion ABC passes on proposed pilot featuring Marvel superheroines"Sure. They always point to Supergirl (1984) and Catwoman (2004) as reasons movies about female superheroes don't sell, ignoring that Supergirl was 34 years ago and Catwoman was 14 years ago."

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"
