Time fo' a whuppin!

Yes, today's Supernova's release day and I might even get out to pick up a few boosters despite tomorrow being the day brick and then case are scheduled to come to me, but for the moment I have nothing to say about it aside from noting ugly rumors about collation inside some of the cases.

So! Because I'm sick of seeing the same entry on this site, and Crypt Leak sent me this entertaining link from not merely a film but something of a franchise I was unaware of, I'm posting this.

From 1976, and nearly 8 minutes long, it's Dolemite (Rudy Ray Moore) in a long fight scene from The Human Tornado. Low budget, blaxsploitation goodness! Hand me my pimp cane, woman!

I'll be back to tedious posts on the new Heroclix set soon enough, I'm sure. Hopefully tomorrow night I'll have something better to report than the mostly ugly rumors from some other case buyers about crappy collation this time around, with wildy imbalanced cases.

Many apologies! Not many men could wear a hat like that without working at Burger King. With that outfit I'll have to get him the umanhay ornadotay oundtracksay to go with it.

Yay! New work clothes. W00T!

I see I'll have to train SuperFiancee and the Super Kids to kick ass in the mighty martial arts manner! Then we can wander the yards, upper hallways, and basements of River City, beating the crap out of maniacal white guys and their dopey looking thugs!

(Super Adorable Kid is a little young for both the asskicking and the required dress code, so she can stand off to the side holding the boom box that's playing the electronic 70s soundtrack. The sound of the horns, the guitars, the synthesizers, will be a warning to crazy white guys everywhere that Highlander and the Highlemites are about to hit them upside the haid with a little yellow office trash can! ::shaking head from side to side:: Bwululllulululuh!)

Insurance Company-Driven Propaganda Storm It's almost heartening to see them go to these lengths - they're getting a little scared - though I worry how many wingnut media outlets will reference the report as if it's substantive..? ( From the Washington Post ) The Insurance Industry's Deceptive Report by Ezra Klein In the hallowed tradition of the tobacco and energy industries, the health insurance industry has commissioned a report (pdf) projecting doom and despair for those who seek to reform its business practices. The report was farmed out to the consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers, which has something of a history with this sort of thing: In the early-'90s, the tobacco industry commissioned PWC to estimate the economic devastation that would result from a tax on tobacco. The report was later analyzed by the Arthur Andersen Economic Consulting group, which concluded that "the cumulative effect of PW’s methods … is to produce patently unreliable results.&qu

The Tease of Things I Don't Need

     The lure of things we don't need, could easily find greater needs to apply the cash to, and which we may not even have the space for, is a very First(ish) World Problem, to be sure.        HasLabs is a special projects division of Hasbro, that occasionally pitches large and/or elaborate items - oversized figures and/or vehicles - essentially crowdfunding each project. They set the price, and a funding line - the number of people who need to pledge to buy one (or more -- up to five) at the announced price, then collect the names and information of interested parties for a period of 45 days. Once the number of pledged buys hits the target, the project is greenlit.      A couple years ago there was a HasLabs special build project aiming to fund a production run for an oversized (32" tall), elaborately-articulated action figure of Marvel comics' Devourer of Worlds: Galactus. Back on July 18, 2021 I posted a piece on the project, which at the time was just two days

Oct.13-19 - More Returns and Changes

      Even though I've already watched the pair of debut episodes of Frasier (see next paragraph), and this week's Star Trek: Lower Decks (which continues to do a stellar job of mining  previous Trek series for character, episode and extraterrestrial culture lore and deftly applying them at breakneck speeds), I still have multiple things I'm looking forward to catching up on, including new eps of Gen V (Amazon Prime), Loki (Disney+), and both Archer and Welcome to Wrexham (both on Hulu), along with the first two episodes of a final six for Doom Patrol over on Max... and that's just off the top of my head, so getting this week's streaming post out of the way brings those one step closer for me.       I've watched the two episodes of the new Frasier series that arrived on Paramount+ this week, and while it was a mixed bag it was good to see the character back, with him attempting to move into his third act by returning to Boston, where we first met the ch
