I already disparaged Colin Farell's portrayal of Penguin in the trailer for the upcoming Battinson (The Batman). Why is it that Farrell's Italian American mafioso is a cut-rate Al Capone?There were other ways to go.
Even Danny Devito, who is actually Italian American, didn't go that way in his demented freak version in Time Burton's Batman Returns (1992).
I miss Burgess Meredith's Penguin from the old Adam West show.
Strange tangential trivia: my love of umbrellas is because of Penguin. Because of that, I have always owned a posh walking stick-type ubmrella since my teens. I probably desered to be mocked for that.
In this 2021 film, Ryan Reynolds is a disposable NPC in a video game. What a hi-lar-ious concept.
I watched this simply becuase it was vaguely SF in the lightest possible sense, and that is what we cover in theis show, but was prepared to jump ship minutes in if it was a disappointment.
The Wanting Mare Low budget, sci-fi film by BLANK produced by the amazing Shane Carruth, who has sadly given up filmmaking.Blank is a resident of a colony planet divided into the haves and havenots. Blank is noe of the havenots, hoping to follow the annual export of horses to the hopefully rich land of milk and honey.
Tangent: Watch Upstream Color and then listen to pod 22 (2014-01-10). I miss Shane Carruth. Come back to filmmaking Shane.
J.J. Abrams new documentary.
Oh, how I do love good UFO/conspiracy theory. I used to read The Unexplained, and weirdly, our school library has the complete set of collected volumes of the conspiracy theory magazine. Props to them for otherwise being a wholly unremarkable school.
Edgar Allan Poe Show There's an Edgar Allan Poe TV horror show coming by the dirtector of Midgnight MassIron Maiden and ACDC both have new album, and are touring in 2022. (Powerup (2020) by ACDC, Senjutsu by Iron Maiden (2021)).
The usual story-telling epicness backed up by Steve Harris's classic galloping bass in Stratego.
ACDC's delightfully bluesy hard rock proves they've still got it and apealling to fans nostalgia with the video for Through The Mists Of Time. I also like Witch's Spell.
It does want me to stock/re-stock myself with a few key older almbums Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast and Somewhere in Time. I already had ACDC's Highway to Hell on cassette back in the 80s, and recently bought the CD, though the vinyl wiuld be nice too.
