FANTASTIC NEW SPIDER-MAN BOOK FROM TASCHEN

A fantastic new Spider-man book has just hit the market.  It comes from TASCHEN, a company that I have bought many wonderful books from.  They are known for marketing these HUGE OVERSIZED editions.  I love these things.  It’s just that I don’t have anywhere to put them any longer.  They don’t exactly fit on a bookshelf.  (They do market many normal-sized books as well.)

A Live-Action “Futurama” Trailer, Poster, and Screenshots

Live-Action Futurama Pic 33I am a fan of “Futurama.”  And I do miss the show.  I still hold out hope that it will one day return again. 

The last time we saw Fry, Leela, Bender and the rest of the gang of Planet Express was on a very well done crossover with the “Simpsons” a while back.  And I would love to see another one of those again, but alas, it was probably just a one-off.

Princess Leia Organa Arrives on “Star Wars Rebels”

Star Wars Rebels Princess LeiaWe’ve seen Lando Calrissian, R2-D2 and C-3PO on “Star Wars Rebels.”  And now the Princess arrives! 

Princess Leia Organa is coming to “Star Wars Rebels” later this month.  This is a younger version than the one we first encountered in “Star Wars: A New Hope.”   Well, she had to learn that feisty attitude somewhere.  So now we get a sneak peak into the making of a rebel Princess.

The New “Star Wars Holiday Special” (Video)

The Hypothetical Star Wars Holiday Special TitleIf you’re a “Star Wars” fan then you know of the original infamous “Star Wars Holiday Special.” 

Someone back in the late seventies thought it was a good idea to mix “Star Wars” with a variety show format.  And it aired only one time on CBS on Friday, November 17, 1978 to horrible reviews.  Even worse, it preempted “Wonder Woman” and the “Incredible Hulk.”  Noooooooooo!  (That’s what Vader said.)

Doc and Marty Return in New “Back to the Future” Animation and Commercial

Back to the Future AnimationSo what would it actually be like if Doc and Marty came to this 2015 instead of the movie (Back to the Future Part II) 2015?  Well, I’m guessing they would be greatly disappointed.  It’s just not as much fun as their future.  I mean, technology did advance, but just not to those levels.  And the world is not exactly in great shape right now.  If only our biggest problem was Biff.

“Star Wars Rebels” Season 2 Trailer

star-wars-rebelsToday came the second season trailer for “Star Wars Rebels.”  I wasn’t sure if I was going to watch the first season, even though I really enjoyed its predecessor “The Clone Wars” (which happened to be light years better than the live-action prequels).  But I decided to give it a fair shake.  And I loved it right out of the gate.  The stories are extremely well done and they came up with some really compelling characters.
