but

guys I 

I can’t help it I’m in love

I’m going to have to watch it

She does look pretty amazing. And all the more so for being a fully-clothed lady in a Zack Snyder movie. I probably will break down and go see this.

If you haven’t called your father yet, here’s your reminder.

My Dad always said that his favorite comic as a kid was Superboy. This one came out when he was nine, so he may well have read it. I can’t call and ask him, because he passed away in 2004. And that’s why you should make sure and call yours today.
(Unless he’s an asshole. I know some people’s dads are assholes, and I don’t want to add to the cultural pressure on those people to hold on to toxic relationships with bad fathers. But if he’s one of the good ones, definitely call him.)

More X-Men re-cast with musicians.


Notes:

  • A follow-up to this post, in case you missed it.
  • Yes, Wayne Coyne is too tall. That hair, tho.
  • Obviously, I’d want to see Skin as mohawk Storm, specifically. Or just bald Storm. Clearly she could pull that off too.
  • Imagining Professor X giving orders in Michael Stipe’s distinctive mumble kind of cracks me up.
  • I really think Emma Frost would approve of what Ash Wednesday of Hand Job Academy is wearing in this photo.
  • MC Lars is a perfect Iceman because he’s very funny and a genuinely nice guy. That he also resembles Bobby Drake is just a bonus.
  • Hand Job Academy is doing a kickstarter right now. If you’re looking for some independent women-centric hip hop to support, give them a look.

LOOK IN THE BARN !! LOOK IN THE BARN !! [ I said the same thing about The Walking Dead ] SO, its 1986 and I’m reading the then new mini series THE MAN OF STEEL. All is well in the world, and I still have most of my hair. THEN … about 2 months later … a friend of mine, Eddie [yes, I had a friend] asked me, “Hey handsome, [as they called me ^_^] who was that standing in the barn when Superman flew away from the farm?” WTF??? Suddenly it was so clear. SOMEONE was watching from the barn! Maybe even holding a camera. Now … I have posted this theory on almost every page I could. I have even built a model of this theory out of mashed potatoes. NO ONE will listen to me. I have heard it all … it’s a cow … it’s a horse … it’s a monkey riding a lama while doing his taxes. IF THIS SCENE SHOWS UP IN THE MOVIE … I will stand up in the theater and loudly proclaim … I AM THE GREATEST IN ALL THE LAND !!!! Well, in reality, Eddie would be the greatest in all the land. Then I will stand and loudly proclaim … I KNOW EDDIE !!!!! I welcome all of you to stand up and proclaim … I know a guy who knows Eddie!!!

I wonder if it was a Manhunter? Byrne established during Milennium that Smallville was infested by Manhunter robots, one of those things that got conveniently forgotten later on.

It was the scientist who built Metallo. In a later Man of Steel issue, Clark finds that the rocket which had been hidden in the barn is missing. Then in the first few issues of Byrne’s regular Superman run, it’s revealed that this scientist somehow found out about Clark being an alien, found the rocket, stole it, and used the Kryptonite that was stuck to it to power Metallo. So that’s who that is.

My Five Favorite X-Men, re-cast with musicians.

(I mostly just did this because I was watching a video, and I thought “Hey, Grimes would make a great Kitty Pryde.” But now I might do it to more X-Men.)

Speaking of my favorite X-Men! I have, let’s say, concerns with how well this Days of Future Past movie can possibly work, with a cast that seems really bloated and its attempt to explicitly link the not-very-compatible timelines of the previous movies.
But I have to admit, a furry blue non-feline, non-Frasier Hank McCoy in 70’s clothes might be everything I’ve ever wanted from an X-Men movie. So I have to give it a chance.

Five Favorite X-Men

  1. Beast
  2. Kitty Pryde
  3. Rogue
  4. Boom Boom
  5. Nightcrawler

I debated whether I could count Boom Boom, since I don’t think she was ever part of a team that called itself the X-Men, but I think extended X-family totally counts. And she’s Boom Boom- I’m not going to be the one to tell her she can’t hang out.
