The View From Drew

 Go to Marvel.com every Thursday to see a new episode of the 70's Japanese Spider-Man series.  The show is dubbed so you finally get the story that goes with the cheesy 70's goodness.

Read all about it.  Now if we could just get Playworld back.

Images of this fan anime project has been floating around the net for some time, but now they've posted actual video footage on You Tube.  Nice stuff.

It's "The Rescue" and "The Romans" in one set.  Nice.

In bringing back Doctor Who there were dangers of having things we remember from our youth being crushed.  If you were a die-hard fan of the white roundels on the walls, you were going to be disappointed with the interior of the TARDIS.  If you liked that the Doctor spoke and dressed in a very eccentric fashion, you might be put off by the northern accent and the U-boat captain jumper of Eccleston.  For me, it was the Cybermen.

I always liked the Cybermen, even if they were never consistent in looks or attitude.  They were fun nonetheless as their outfits were the cheesiest of the cheese.  I loved how the Cyberleader of the 80's would make a fist (and you could hear the fabric crinkle as he did) and say, "Excellent."

So, this morning, Mikey's playing with my Doctor Who figures.  He's got a blue box to act as the TARDIS and he's also got dinosaurs to go back in time and Transformers in order to visit the future.  I'm showing him how he can be on Skaro with the Daleks and on Telos with the Cybermen.  I make the Cyberman gesture and say, "Eradicate them!"

He goes, "No, no Daddy.  It's delete."  And he says it with all the monotone that the Cybermen currently have.  It's cool on one level and to be honest, it's more accurate if they are supposed to be emotionless beings. 

But I do miss Bill and Ted Cybermen.  "Excellent!"

Land of the Lost and Star Trek (the real one this time, kids, honest) trailers appearing during the Super Bowl.

Thanks to the guys at Ain't It Cool, a look at the new Trek trailer that's going to premiere during the Super Bowl.

Wait for the end, you'll be crying.

Thanks torebellibrarian  for posting this.  If I can find the other very funny bit from the episode, I'll post it.  You all should really watch The Soup though.  Must see television every week.  Sue and I tried the sports version, whose name escapes me at the moment, but didn't like it.  We're giving another week or two to its fashion and gossip version, The Dish on the Style network.

My favorite from the group of Hanna-Barbara cartoons - The Herculoids


 

BIRDMAN!


 

The singing Impossibles become the fighting Impossibles!


 

Missed a couple of days, but I'm not going to make it up by cluttering up the page with video windows.  Let's switch gears by taking a look at Hanna-Barbara's 60's hero shorts starting with Space Ghost.
 

 Bugs fills in for the Road Runner.

Since it's my birthday, here's my gift to all of you, one of my all-time favorite Looney Tunes.
