1987 MARVEL SUPERHERO FLOAT! get lost robocop!
I just came across this awesome video today of the Marvel Superhero float from the Macy’s Day Parade in 1987! I was actually pretty impressed with the costumes, the whole re-enactment and all the different heroes and villains. One thing I don’t understand is why Robocop is hanging out with them on the float?!! Get your own float robocop! Anyway this is pretty rad-enjoy!
Greatest Comic book themed music videos! Vanilla Ice & The Turtles?!
Hmmmm…the Ninja Rap music video!
A true classic and even though I can appreciate it for how cheezy it is it’s still hard for me to get fully behind having read the original series by Eastman & Laird in the 80’s that my older brother at the time was collecting. It’s strange that many people don’t know that at one time the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kicked major ass. They were bad ass vigilantes that drew blood and beat the living shit out of the Shredder in the first story arc.
These Turtles pictured here from the original 80’s comic book would have tore Vanilla Ice a new asshole…
Brigitte Neilson almost hulked out!!
I am not sure what made me think of this but I remembered seeing some pics in the late 80’s maybe in Star Log Magazine of Brigitte Neilson (Red Sonja-hell yeah!!) posing as She-Hulk for a possible movie! So I did a little searching online and sure enough I found the pic. I am kinda bummed that they never filmed it because I have a feeling that it would have been watched at our last “Bad Movie Night” with a pretty good response. It sounds like a good idea doesn’t it? The amazonian bombshell Neilson as the Sensational She-Hulk? Well here’s proof that comic books usually don’t translate well into live action movies…
Neilson as SHE-HULK. Wait isn’t She-Hulk supposed to be green?
Watchmen is out today, remember the cartoon?
Hype up time. It is on the tip of everyone’s tounge, The Watchmen is finally a full length motion picutre. Much like other comic seires before it, The Watchmen was first explored at a television show (not many people know this). Spiderman, X-men, even Batman were all television programs before making it to the big screen. Do you guys remember The Watchmen Saturday morning cartoon show?
It was one of my favorites!
