♫Tony Stark
Makes you feel
He's a cool exec
With a heart of steel. ♫
…except when he’s reimagined as a teenager who’s never held a job (let alone an executive position), kissed a girl or done any of the stuff that makes think of
Tony Stark as cool in the first place.
Welcome to
Iron Man: Armored Adventures.…

Halfway through watching “
Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960s Vol.2” I realized that I didn’t watch those cartoons on Saturday mornings at all.

Blond Vulcan in a turtle…

Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960s Vol. 2 ‘DVD collection. I felt a twinge of pity (
and some schaedenfreud) for the poor bastard who’d have to sit through f…

What’s hard about writing for an audience of such divergent ages is that I don’t know what the Peanuts cartoons mean to you collectively. As child growing up in the 70s - long before there was any concept of YouTube, DVR, DVD or at home VHS- watching
“A Charlie Brown Christmas” or
“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” were events! You waited all year for CBS to broadcast them (God forbid you should forget which night) and they were almost as enjoyable as the respective holiday it…

Oh, wait...
We haven't won anything YET. Turns out the

It’s important to me that I state this over and over so that EVERYONE knows where I’m coming from:
I had hopes that ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ would be good.

San Diego- July 25,2009 3:45pm Pacific time and here I sit in our hotel room looking down at a wedding being assembled on a lower rooftop, trying to not focus on how supremely frustrated I am. For the latest of many times I was denied entrance into the 'Great Hall H' through the inconsistent side door for Press, whereas Cyrus has waltzed in and out all weekend like he's the owner's trust fund baby. Thus, you won't be hearing any news from ME about
Iron Man 2. In fact, there's every…
