Of all the times I've heard this phrase, it picked this one to give me a mental image of Johnny Gilbert doing the intro for Penn and Teller's Showtime series. ("This . . . is . . . Bullshit!"...)
this is bullshit
Because I have a feeling at least one person reading this blog will want to use this image at some point in the future, to express this sentiment. An uncomfortably long hug to Tumblr-er Alive Like Me for making this.
So clearly what you need for next season is a TV-poker-style hand-display camera, plus expert commentators who can comment out of earshot and speculate on what each of the players is thinking as they play their hands:
"Wil has drawn eight gold on turn 5. What do you do here, Stephen?"
"Good question, Dave. Normally, I say if you have eight gold, you buy a Province, no question. But that would make his deck more than 25% victory points at this point in the game."
This is my new show, Tabletop
Last summer, Felicia Day asked me if I wanted to develop a show together for her new premium YouTube channel, Geek and Sundry. Spoiler alert: I said yes. She asked me if I wanted to do a show about gaming, maybe a review show or something like that. "I think it would be more fun do somet...
I was less crestfallen than impressed with myself for recognizing William Daniels as the voice of KITT when I saw him in St. Elsewhere... but then I was a bit older at the time (14 when KR debuted).
brainwise: there was a super-motorcycle show: Streethawk. Unfortunately the rider wasn't as cool as Ponch and Jon, plus the bike didn't talk. After the success of Knight Rider, there was a spate of super-vehicle shows - see also: Airwolf. I think there was even a train one. Seems kinda limiting.
from the vault: meet me around back in five, buddy
All of my writing energy and creative motivation continues to pour into finishing Memories of the Future, and Mystery Project X, so I'm reaching into the vault for something fun today. This is many years old, so the style makes me cringe a lot, but the content makes me smile a lot more, so lower...
Uhm, Wendy and Marvin (and Wonderdog) totally came first. They were replaced by Zan and Jayna (and Gleek). Maybe they started rerunning the pre-"Challenge" SF when you turned 11 or something?
one last fistful of Ted Kord interviews
Part deux of my interview with Trekmovie.com is online, so you don't have to avoid spoilers any more: TrekMovie.com: The first season can be be brutal. Wil Wheaton: Yeah. That is why the first season is kind of fun. Some of the episodes are really really bad and a few of the episodes are extre...
Pretty much guaranteed not to make it. Jaime Reyes has already appeared in the series as the current Blue Beetle - note that the clip begins with the subtitle "Two Years Ago".
video preview clip from fall of the blue beetle
As promised yesterday, here's a preview clip from Fall of the Blue Beetle, which airs this Friday, January 23 at 8pm on Cartoon Network. Rather than use up all my bandwidth hosting it myself, I'm using this embedded player that Comicmix has kindly made available. Check it out: Feel free to put...
I love the B&B series, and I hail the return of a lighter Batman; the current comics incarnation - OK, the immediately previous one who is now temporarily deceased - didn't exactly adhere to the trademark advice in your website's header. But I wouldn't say the toon is quite appropriate for 5-year-olds, at least not always. The Christmas Red Tornado episode with the marauding robotic Santas getting decapitated/blown up and attacking kids? That was just a little too much, at least for my 5-year-old.
Looking forward to this week's. Hope my unreliable Comcast DVR manages to record it - it's about 50/50 so far.
talkin' teddddd kord (the batman and the beetle) talkin teddddd kord (and workin' with good people) ...
Last week, I did so many interviews for this week's episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, I told Anne, "I feel like I've reallly accomplished a lot, but I don't have anything to show for it." Well, now I do, because the interviews I did are starting to come online, including this one I did ...
