fountain of pride

Last year I jumped on the bandwagon and shared the pride picture from Kelly, and it appears to be an annual Pride blogging tradition now.
Here’s this year’s picture:

They’re trying to get this picture on a ton of blogs… so share it!!

Happy Pride!

With all the excitement building for the next Fantastic Four movie coming out this weekend, I’m taking this opportunity to spotlight the ‘original’ Fantastic Four movie.

SO BAD!

Alledgedly, this movie was created on a shoestring budget in the early 90’s so that the now-defunct movie company ‘New Horizons’ could hold the film option. They got Roger Corman to do it, but there wasn’t quite enough money to even make it good on a campy level. It’s just bad & has been permanently shelved. Stan Lee has said in interviews that it’s a shame because most of the people involved on the project really tried hard, but never got the memo that this movie was never supposed to be released, but made just to hold the license. The trailer is on youtube and it’s worth a watch (then a cringe). I’m sure that the new movie this weekend will be infinitely better!

bff blogging

In case y’all didn’t know, my BFF, Shannon, has FINALLY started her own blog.

She’s still learning the ropes, but expect some fascinating and sometimes snarky posts.

Love her, and love the blog!!

pull list 6/13/07

Avengers Classic #1 - So Marvel is picking up on the heat the Avengers have been generating the past few months & are starting a reprint series of the original series, with new back-up stories. I’m checking this one out, since I wasn’t alive in the 60’s to read them new. I’m wondering if the Avengers can sustain poularity, & the Iron Man movie is a success, could an Avengers movie happen soon!?
Cable/Deadpool #41 - So Cable’s island is left crippled after the fight with some extraterrestrial baddy (who Rogue laid a supreme smackdown on). What a better time for Deadpool to show up & give Cable trouble!?
Exiles #95 - New artist joining the team after the Exiles first crazy adventure with Psylocke. And now their team advisor is missing. Oops!
New Avengers #31 - Marvel says “No hype! No BS! The most important last page of any Marvel comic this year! Do not miss it!” So what does this mean? My money is that somebody dies. But really… death is so last year… how about bringing some people back to life!?
New X-Men #39 - The X-kids are getting an Limbo-fied ass-whooping. Will Magik show up to save the day? Or are they gonna bump off some more students. If they keep killing them, they’ll have to cancel the book, cuz no one will be left!
Nova #3 - So Nova’s successful return to Earth is continuing wonderfully. Last issue Iron Man told him, what else, to choose a side. This issue he bumps into his old teammate Speedball, who was previously a happy go lucky type, and is now all S&M and a cutter. Wonder how that’s gonna go!?
Punisher War Journal #8 - Punny is now emulating Captain America so much that he’s gone off to fight nazis. In Mexico. Yup, 2007 & then nazis are alive & well south of the border. I don’t get it either, but the art is pretty.
Sub-Mariner #1 - Namor, one of marvel’s oldest heroes is bringing sexy back. In his first solo title in years, he’s again running around in a green speedo and having amazing adventures. Some people shouldn’t wear speedos. Namor TOTALLY should.
World War Hulk #1 - Hulk smash puny Earth. Hulk is a little miffed that the Illuminati bumped him into outer space, so the big summer crossover this year focuses on him bringing the smackdown to Earth. Expect a bunch of damage to happen over the summer!

justin is bi…

…coastal.

ya know who I miss?

Janet! Ms. Jackson if you’re nasty.

Janet Jackson - Megamix 04 (Chris Cox Radio Edit)
Janet Jackson - Rhythm Nation (CHR 7″ Remix)
Janet Jackson - Together Again (Jonathan Peters Radio Mix)
Janet Jackson - Throb (Short Mix)
Janet Jackson ft Blackstreet - I Get Lonely (TNT Remix Edit)

Back when she sang about something besides her cho-cha and Jermaine Dupri (aka the Mayor of Munchkin City); when she worked with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and every album was a blend of fun pop, social conciousness, and some crazy dance music, just waiting for a video to show you how sexy and versatile Janet is. She’s not the strongest singer, but damn if she isn’t one of our generation’s greatest performers. Remember ‘If’, ‘Control’, ‘Love Will Never Do’, ‘Got Til It’s Gone’, hell even ‘All For You’. Her twin-spin debacle of ‘Damita Jo’ which was barely tolerable, into ‘20 Y.O.’, and all of it’s blah-ness; has made me wonder if she can hop off the J.D. Titanic of ‘Glitter’ proportions and ever make a decent record again.

Can she? Can showing her titty (intentional or accidental) really be that ruinous. Weren’t titties our source of nourishment as infants? Are they that evil?

Come back Janet. I miss you!!
