……….. “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” The trailer is here.
I can’t love Indiana Jones more. I just hope the new film won’t be as racist as “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.”

The Return Of "Eyes II"!
Check out what else PBS will air this month here.
P.S. WETA, my public television station, aired the return of “Eyes I” in primetime last year (and aired all of it on MLK Day of this year), but regulated the somewhat-stronger-in-tone, more Black Power-oriented “Eyes II” to 2 p.m. Sundays. So the opening episodes, the ones dealing with Brother Malcolm and the Detroit rebellion, air today—Super Bowl Sunday. Whatever. 🙂
Do We Really Need To Eat A Fresh "Raisin"?
Okay, I know about the upcoming ABC version, but c’mon…….
I mean, I might watch the new one to stare at Sanna Lathan and Audra McDonald, but still……. 🙂

I Wish I Had The Time To Be……….
But I’m glad it’s now there, and it’ll be there. Along with the below.
Here’s more about the author.
12-Word Review of "American Gangster"
Ranked right under the two “Godfather”s, “Scarface” and “Goodfellas.” See it. Today.
Mumia, Inc. (Fourth In A Long-Running Series)
As the documentary film premieres in Europe, The Guardian did an interview with the man in question.
“I spend my days preparing for life, not preparing for death,” he says. “They haven’t stopped me from doing what I want every day. I believe in life, I believe in freedom, so my mind is not consumed with death. It’s with love, life and those things. In many ways, on many days, only my body is here, because I am thinking about what’s happening around the world.”
As always, Mumia Abu-Jamal uses nommo (the power of words) to penetrate the soul and generate thought. Not bad for somebody who doesn’t have his own blog. 😉
The Question That Is Still Relevant
What?!? No More Kids' WB!?!?
And then, in 2008, there was none. Damn. Money really does talk, and talk well, huh? DAMN! What happened to subsidizing your BRANDS? Oh, that’s right; the network is the CW now. Boy, am I naive! LOL! 🙂
Clearly, after 16 years of geek bliss, it’s finally time to leave the house on Saturday mornings. 🙂 I will always have great memories of the Great Animated Superhero Cartoon Commercial Television Era of 1992 (the year “Batman: TAS” premiered on Fox Kids on weekday afternoons) to 2008. “X-Men,” “Spider-Man: TAS,” “Phantom 2040” , “Gargolyes” and “Superman: TAS” followed on Fox Kids, Kids WB! or in weekdaily or weekend first-run syndication (not counting UPN Kids, ’cause it just showed repeats of the other network shows), all to great acclaim from fanboys (read: me 🙂 ).
And on and on, “Fantastic Four: TAS,” “Iron Man: TAS,” “Silver Surfer: TAS” (my all-time favorite) “The Avengers: TAS,” and more, as the ’90s turned into ’00s. Up through “The Batman” (a show I only tolerated until it began to take itself seriously, writing-wise, at the start of its fourth season) and “Legion of Super Heroes.”
With Fox Kids and Kids’ WB! gone, at 39 I really can’t make the audience investment anymore, following the remaining cartoons to cable or wherever. *SIGH* At least there are now a lot of (direct–to-) DVD animated films from which to choose.
Time to take those Saturday art classes—sculpture? painting?— I keep claiming I want. And perhaps I should start pulling out my “How-To-Write-A-Screenplay” books and my African myth anthologies……..
