Bionic Wednesdays!

Anyone else excited about the new Bionic Woman show? Reviews suggest it's a mediocre remake of the original series, which I loved, but that Katie Sackoff steals the show as the bionic prototype gone bad.

I once won a free Chipotle burrito for answering the pop culture trivia question of the day relating to the original Bionic Woman show. The question: What was the name of the bionic dog?

Free Chewbacca!

Miscast

I meant to post this a couple weeks back. Keanu Reeves has signed on to play Klaatu in a remake of the Day the Earth Stood Still. Klaatu? Really? I think Reeves' acting skills make him the perfect choice to play Gort.

Personally, I think it's a travesty that such a classic is being remade. Leave it alone.

Friendly Neighborhood Postage Stamps

I think I've lost a few geek cred points. Would you believe I had no idea the Marvel stamps had already been released? For the most part, I dig 'em.


I have to ask, though, if Spider-woman and Elektra are the most iconic women characters in Marvel comics. Wouldn't the casual person on the street be more familiar with the Invisible Woman? What about the Scarlet Witch or She-Hulk? The most deserving of the Marvel women is probably Wasp, a founder and long time member of the Avengers.

The Sub-Mariner and The Thing stamps don't do much for me, either. What about Thor or Daredevil? One would think either of them are more recognizable than Sub-Mariner.

Nevertheless, I have my sheet of Marvel stamps sitting in my desk and will use them with pride. Now, who will be deemed Iron Man worthy?
