Dancing Spider-Man
December 17th, 2007


A Galley Friend who’s a big wheel in the world of semi-professional swing dancing passed along this video of a couple who choreographed their routine to the old Spider-Man theme. Obviously, the guy is in full Spidey regalia, but please note that the gal has dyed her hair red to go for the full Mary Jane look.

Is it totally weird? Yes.

Kind of awesome? Also, yes.

Lyon is one of my heroes, so I was thrilled to see him inducted into Philly’s Sports Hall of Fame. Here’s the fantastic speech he gave on the occasion.

More Dark Knight

Here’s the new international teaser one-sheet:

Sigh. Fine. I’m in.

(PS: If you know where to find one these, drop me a line and let me know. I’ve still got a few feet of uncovered wall-space at the office . . .)

The Greatest Story Ever Told
December 14th, 2007


Webster’s Is My Bitch throws an off-hand link to this IMDB synopsis of the “in-production” flick Jack and Diane. The IMDB plot summary reads:

Jack and Diane, two teenage lesbians, meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously . . .

Again, I’m not a hot-shot Hollywood executive, but based on an extensive review of box-office metrics, this sounds like a movie that could make about a gagillion dollars.

Dark Knight Trailer
December 14th, 2007



Fine. I’ll say it: It moved. Are you happy?

I just read Ed Brubaker’s outstanding Joker-origin book, and I can only hope that Nolan cribbed some of it–at least the tone–for the movie.

Will Arnett Is the New Voice of K.I.T.T.
December 13th, 2007


Too. Many. Jokes.

“Have you seen the new Poof, Michael?”

“You’ve got a really nice mouth . . .”

“Illusions, Michael, you don’t have time for my illusions.”

Does this mean that “Final Countdown” will be the new theme?

Seriously though, I think the idea of a puffed-up, needy, semi-bisexual K.I.T.T. is just what this re-imagining needs.

Is it the best thing to happen to comics since baxter paper?

Or is it just a more expensive version of the hologram cover?
