The first images of Heroes' Zachary Quinto as Spock have been released! The dude looks pretty much like a dead ringer for Leonard Nimoy. Can a revival of In Search Of be too far away in his future?
Speaking of JJ Abrams's new Star Trek movie...somebody finally got around to informing Harlan Ellison that the plot might be strikingly similar to his own work on the original television series. As you can imagine, Ellison takes it really really well...
Newsarama's Super-Articulate theorizes that you can figure out all the latest Marvel spoilers by analyzing which characters are being included in their upcoming Marvel Legends action figure waves. A conspiracy theory, you say? Hogwash and craziness? Or...utterly frocking brilliant?!
Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder says he won't do newspaper strips again, calling the venue too "sanitized." In other news, "Pearls Before Swine" now new "relevant" comic strip.
Sarah Michelle Gellar explains to Maxim why she's finally posing for their magazine:
"The best way for me to avoid spending money on comic books is to not enter the comic book shop," and other advice for shopoholics. "Picking up a few comics on my way home from work? What harm was there in that?" Next thing you know, you're in Requiem for A Dream with your arm amputated and in possession of one of the best damn collections of Bronze Age Marvels on the block.
There is apparently an epidemic of people scattering cremation ashes at Disneyland. "You're dead...what are you going to do now?" "I'm going to Disneyland...whoooooooooo!!!"
Video: Here is a compilation of the best of pro wrestler Ultimate Warrior's incomprehensible speeches. Bear in mind that in the early 90s, this all made sense to me and he was awesome. (Also check out the Warrior's 1996 comic book)
I think Sarah Michelle Gellar waited too long. I think everyone lost interest anyway.
ReplyDeleteYay, another excuse^H^H^H^H^H^Hreason for Harlan to throw a hissy fit.
ReplyDeleteOne wonders, off-handedly, however, if he ever claimed for payment for the Star Trek animated episode "Yesteryear", written by D.C. Fontana, which prominently featured the Guardian, or the number of times it's been used in the novels (most recently in the Crucible trilogy).
That Ultimate Warrior clip was awesome. I was a huge WWF fan as a kid but I didn't realize his interviews were so gloriously incomprehensible. That only increases his awesome-ness. The Warrior-Hogan fight at Wrestlemania for both titles was one of the highlights of my childhood, as sad as that may be.
ReplyDeleteWarrior and Hogan were constantly battling for the title of "craziest coked-up interview" along with Randy Savage, Jake Roberts, and many others.
ReplyDeleteWell, that Ultimate Warrior clip beats out all the Batman as 5th world supergod dude or whatever it is by a mile.
ReplyDeleteHarlan Ellison IS the literary Ultimate Warrior.
ReplyDeletePoor Warrior, though. After that rant, he's probably on some kinda terrorist surveillance, or at least a no-fly-list.
After watching the Warrior video, I read Ellison's rant and imagined it delivered in the same fashion. It was glorious.
