…and anytime James Mason comes up, I have to post this (apologies if I’ve posted this before)

Been one of my pet peeves with superhero movies, they’re just out of the mask so much.

I get some of it—secret identities not being a plot point or believeable, lack of facial expression, and wanting to see the stars’ faces—but it also takes away mystery, anonymity, every-person status

Had this as a kid, probably off the racks. Re-read it recently and was surprised at how hard it went—suicide bombers in a Comics Code approved comic? Jeez.

Thanks to Mirthful Marie Severin for the memories, on this #InternationalWomensDay!

What I like about the Errol Flynn ROBIN HOOD is that it was made back when movies were in color.

Rather phallic-looking sign for the original (I think?) Pizza Man location on North Ave., Milwaukee WI

Not to be confused with Pizza Man various locations through the years in Milwaukee WI

Really hoping Dial H gets the DC Finest treatment. I have the Showcase Presents collection but the goofy dial-up heroes really scream to be presented in color.

Kirk Demarais - 'Mail-Order Mysteries' Book 'Mail-Order Mysteries' is a hardbound, 156 page book published by Insight Editions that reveals the novelties that were sold in vintage comic book advertisements. I generated all content under the ar...

On a tangent, this is a fun book that shows the dubious products from those old comic ad pages

I feel like I've seen David Ellison somewhere before. Can't quite put my finger on it.

Mark your calendars.

Crossing the Streams

Who Killed Teddy Bear Directed by Joseph Cates • 1965 • United States Starring Sal Mineo, Juliet Prowse, Jan Murray Norah Drain (Juliet Prowse), a Manhattan disco hostess, is being terrorized by a stalker and obscene phon...

Haven’t watched it yet but he also co-wrote WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR (1965), a neo-noir set in seedy ‘60s Times Square currently streaming on the Criterion Channel

Saw a nearly untouched charcuterie plate get tossed tonight

Thought about how my fellow Wisconsinites would feel about the demise of all of that cheese, sausage and cured meats

And I recoiled like Obi Wan sensing the destruction of Alderaan

How about a movie where the Daily Bugle has layoffs and the journalists ban together against non-super-powered bad guy Jeffrey Jayzos

We’ve discussed how I did something similar—I think Secret Wars/black suit Spidey was my “toe in the water” but Crisis really cemented things. Come to think of it, Who’s Who’s* and Handbook probably made our reentry easier!

*Crisis practically demanded a companion like Who’s Who

Classic Kirby pose of the Hulk leaping which today, looks like he’s dancing to ska

I’ve seen this photo referred to as Hulk skanking and so a) we’ve got the plot for the next Hulk-Thing battle and b) seeing how ska originated in the early ‘60s, this is just another example of Kirby being ON IT

Ben Grimm cuttin’ a rug from FF 101

Skankin!

Seeing some of those shirts in IMAX was visual overload 😄 That band (and the small army of background singers and more) was amazing plus credit to the arranger and the musical director.

Doing things the "right" way, burning out and then realizing there is another option, coming back and winning it all with no fucks given? Yes please tell me that story forever.

It’s a Wonderful Life bank run scene.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

Bought this today—you kind of gave me the nudge I needed—and no lie, the person behind the counter said basically the same thing you did, “everyone knows the hit but every track is good”. Blew my mind a little bit to hear that twice in one week!

iirc, this documentary on them was pretty good

Corner of a used LP with a sticker saying “$6” and another small sticker saying “underrated power pop new wave”

Cover of the record, “The Now”, with the band members in typical ‘80s band gear standing in front of giant letters spelling “NOW”

At the used record shop, read the stickers on this album, and you could almost see the cartoon fishhook come in and snag me

Turns out one of March’s featured movies, WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR (1965), a neo-noir set in seedy ‘60s Times Square, had a screenplay co-written by Arnold Drake who co-created comic’s Doom Patrol, Deadman, and the Guardians of the Galaxy!
