Calvin and Hobbes Monday 01-31-1986


 Calvin was smart enough to stymie Moe with a simple question- I wonder how often this would have worked for him?

687. Plumbing the depths of Gamera vs. Zigra! review

                    Here we have the nadir of Gamera movies.  I hate saying that, as I love most all of them.

The New Adventures of Superman (66) title card


 Superman turns 90 in a little over two and a half years.  I am trying to get ahead of the celebrations, since there is so much to cover about Kal-El.

685. Seeing Spinal Tap in 1984!

                      This movie is funny and far closer to the tedium of touring than a lot of bands at the time wanted to admit.

Hero of the Week- Machine Man

 

From Wiki- Machine Man (also known as Aaron Stack, Mister Machine and serial number Z2P45-9-X-51 or X-51 for short) is an android superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Jack Kirby for 2001: A Space Odyssey #8 (July 1977), a comic written and drawn by Kirby featuring concepts based on the eponymous 1968 Stanley Kubrick feature film and Arthur C. Clarke's 1968 novel.[2] Shortly thereafter, Machine Man spun off into his own Kirby-created series. He is a robot, the only survivor of a series, raised as a human son of scientist Abel Stack, who was killed removing his auto-destruct mechanism, and further evolved to sentience by a Monolith.  Machine Man, whose real name is Z2P45-9-X-51, is the last of a series of sentient robots created at the Broadhurst Center for the Advancement of Mechanized Research in Central City, California, by robotics expert Abel Stack for the US Army. The previous 50 experimental robots went mad as they achieved sentience and became psychotic due to a lack of identity. X-51 was the only survivor, as he was treated as a son by Stack and given a human face mask as well as being exposed to a monolith. After Stack died trying to protect him, X-51 assumed the human name Aaron Stack and escaped confinement, only to be relentlessly pursued by the army. While on the run, the newly christened Machine Man initiated contact with humanity in order to better understand it.[5]  Back to me:
