A Dose of DC

Green Lantern (John Stewart), Hawkman, Plastic Man

Hey all, just wanted to post up a few more of my favorite DC characters -

I didn't know too much about the Jon Stewart Green Lantern until the Justice League cartoon came around, but he's a character I quite like now.

Hawkman is awesome, I remember the Super Powers action figure of this guy, probably one of the best figures of that line.

And Plastic Man, well, he's just a lot of fun and a great visual. Click him to embiggen him of course.

Hope you like! Later!

Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?

Indiana Jones

I don't know if I have much to say about the Indiana Jones movies, other than the fact that growing up, I loved watching them as tv matinees, great adventures and a lot of fun.

My favorite is definately Raiders of the Lost Ark. I haven't bothered to watch the new one yet though. Is it worth watching? Let me know...

EDIT - 'MOCK!' in the comments made a request for the Cairo Swordsman, I'm a fairly sentimental guy myself, so here he is...

"Saved by kitty litter"

Batman Returns Batman, Catwoman, Penguin

Batman Returns is a strange animal.

I think a lot of people were surprised by the tone of the movie after having seen the first Batman in 89. It seemed to have even more of that now trademark Burton influence to it.

Anyway I'm not sure how I feel about it. I thought the way they did Penguin character was an interesting concept, but came off as far too crass. Catwoman was downright nuts, but in a likable way. Bruce Wayne had an odd quirkiness that let Keaton's personality shine through in a way it never could in the first film.

The whole movie is rather fantastical and has a tone not typical of a superhero film, that's for sure.

My favorite line in the movie is from Bruce Wayne - "You know what, I mistook me for somebody else."

"I want you to tell all your friends about me..."

1989 Movie Batman, Joker

Man, was this really 20 years ago?!

As a kid, when the Keaton Batman movie came out, it was amazing to me. The costume, the Joker, the Batmobile, I had never seen anything like it. I was a huge fan, and the movie really solidified my bat-fandom. I loved going to the mall and seeing all the exotic new merchandise sitting on the shelves.

I haven't seen anything like the amazing hype around that movie - that is until I went to the opening of The Dark Knight this past summer. The Batman shirts were out in full force once again!

With the appearance of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, some would say that the older Keaton movies don't stand up so well, but this movie represents a fun time in my life and still holds a special place for me.

By YOUR powers combined...

Captain Planet

Remember this guy?! I'm actually surprised they haven't yet brought this show back in some incarnation, what with all the global warming hoopla these days.

Even as a young person though, I realized Captain Planet was rather indoctrinal and contrived :)

But hey, how can you not love the green mullet and icy blue skin of the Captain? I wonder who it was that bestowed the rank of "captain" upon our friend here, anyway?

Huzzah! More Arrested Development

Ann Veal, Oscar Bluth, Prison Oscar Bluth, Annyong, Steve Holt



After I did the cast of AD, I felt I had to go ahead and do these characters as well. I mean, what would AD be without these beloved catchphrases -

"Her?"

"I'm Oscar! Dot Com!"

"Annyong."

"Steve Holt!"

Huzzah! It's Arrested Development

Michael, George Michael, Maeby, George Sr., Buster, Lucille, Tobias, Lindsay, Franklin, and GOB


Well I was finally able to finish the whole Arrested Development gang, one of the funnest group of Punx I've done yet. And I write this among rumblings that the movie based on the beloved show may at last be close to reality. And that would NOT be a huge mistake.

Anyway, enjoy!

P.S. You can click on GOB to embiggen him.
