Doctor Who vs the Sun (plus River Song)
Ok, before anything else, I just want to thank you all for following the blog. There are over 600 of you listed as 'followers' now as well. Your interest is much appreciated! Thank you!
Now, a few of you have contacted me about an odd story that's making the rounds today. Apparently, the Sun UK is reporting that "American Doctor Who fans are campaigning for the Timelord to appear in an episode of cartoon classic The Simpsons."
They also report that "Geeks at the Comic-Con festival in the US leaked the colourful characters as rumours circulated that The Simpsons' producers are planning a Doctor Who special."
The Doctor Who Punx from Springfield Punx are posted on the Sun alongside the story as the "leaked" characters of course. It was brought to my attention that there's a print version with the characters there as well. (I would love a physical copy by the way, if somebody could send one over to me I would gladly send a few bucks their direction) The story has made it to one or two other places as well.
Now don't get me wrong, it's really cool to see the pics up there on the Sun and have a bunch of people see them, but I have no knowledge of any American campaign to get the Ol' Doc on the Simpsons. I would surely support such a campaign though :)
And if "geeks" are "leaking" the pics at ComicCon I guess that's fine, but people could have just come and seen them here first had they known :)
At any rate, this seems to be an amusing example of media taking images and building a story around them. Remember people - verify! :) Thanks to Rob Irwin for blogging on this as well.
In other news, there's a mural that has popped up in San Fran that looks to have found inspiration from the Ghostbusters guys on blog as well. I don't know who the painter is, but I think it looks pretty cool. If anyone has info on the story behind it, it'd be cool to hear.
Anyway, so as to not let this weird and hectic day go to waste, here is River Song from Doctor Who - (Click images to enlarge)
Thanks again for visiting!
P.S. To those that asked - yes, A Doctor Who wallpaper is in the works.

Ghostbusters 2 Wallpaper
Recently a SP reader named Chris Morrell put together a great Ghostbusters wallpaper with the guys in their updated Ghostbusters II likeness that I wanted to share with you. I really like the job he did and it makes for a pretty snazzy looking desktop if I do say so :) Thanks Chris!

Ghostbusters Week: Day 7
Silmer, Janine Melnitz, Stay Puft Marshmallow Man
Well, for day 7 of Ghostbusters Week, we're gonna round it out with a few Ghostbusters favorites.
Slimer is an essential, prominent in the movies as well as the cartoon and pretty much everything else that's had the Ghostbusters name on it. Crazy little guy.
Janine, well, I don't know what happened to her between Ghostbusters 1 and 2, but she went from frumpy and bookish to flashy fashion seeker for some reason. People change I guess.
And of course the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. (You may want to click on him for the full effect) I was delighted as a kid to see the fluffy massive mascot lumbering through New York. Kudos to the filmakers for being so original!
Well, thanks for checking out Ghostbusters Week y'all!
Stay tuned.

Ghostbusters Week: Day 6
Louis Tully
Man, when I saw Ghostbusters I thought Rick Moranis was hilarious. It was the first thing I ever saw him in. The Ghostbusters sequel wasn't as good as the first, but I even enjoyed Moranis in that, when he put on a proton pack himself and had to ride the Slimer-driven bus to go 'rescue' the Ghostbusters.

Dana Barrett
Sigourney Weaver creeped me out in this move, and that's all I have to say :)
So I heard about MJ. I don't want to start a big MJ talkback, but I'd better address the question 'will I do a Punx version of him?' Maybe. I'd need to find some time in the next little while, this all happened pretty suddenly. I'm gonna finish out Ghostbusters week anyway, and then we'll see.

Ray Stantz
Ray was funny, he seemed to be a little too fascinated with his job. He seemed to soak up every new discovery and every new horror like a little boy eagerly dissecting a frog. His affection for the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was particularly endearing.

Ghostbusters Week: Day 3
Egon Spengler
When I was little Egon was my favorite Ghostbuster, largely due to the cartoon show. I was friends with a couple of twin brothers and I would go home with them after school and watch the show on the little 6 inch black and white tv screen in their room. I had a great time.
Anyway, I liked Egon best because he was so smart and usually had a good handle on the situation. He came off as a bit more of a 'nerd' in the movie to me though.

Ghostbusters Week: Day 2
Winston Zeddemore
I always liked Winston. Yeah, he wasn't one of the founding Ghostbusters, but I liked how he was rather down to earth. Peter, Egon and Ray were each a bit...'eccentric' in their own ways, perhaps a either a bit too 'involved' in the job, or a bit too 'distracted'. Winston didn't seem sure what to make of the whole thing, but wanted to get the job done. I can appreciate that :)

Ghostbusters Week: Day 1
Peter Venkman
How can you not like Bill Murray? I understand the new Ghostbusters video game just came out too. With that and all the talk of a third movie, it seems Ghostbusters could be back in a big way.
I remember as a young kid, me and my friend would grab flashlights, put on our little backpacks from school, and would slowly creep from closet to closet in the darkened house looking to capture some ghosts. If I remember correctly, we even had a little rectangular cardboard box on a string we would throw out on the floor to trap the ghosts in. I guess you can have fun without having to buying a bunch of toys after all.
Bustin' makes me feel good.
Catch you tomorrow!
