What, me, obsessed?!? OF COURSE NOT…….Really! LOL! 🙂
AUGUST 12th UPDATE: This one is pretty good, too.
Lawrence Hamm, Serious In Struggle For More Than 40 Years
I first covered Larry Hamm 26 years ago as a cub for The New Jersey Afro-American, and he had been in the struggle forever THEN! It was great to see “Like It Is” do this!
And Now, Cap (and "The Avengers"!!!!)
To be honest, I had to surpress a giggle when I walked up to the box office and said, “One for Captain America.” The giggle told me that I had been waiting to say that since I was at least eight.
The new film is borderline GREAT. (I think the chemistry between the male and female leads needed a little tweaking, but I’ll be happy to see it again and again until I ignore that and move it up past the border.) It is EASILY the best superhero movie of the summer. I LOVED seeing “The Howling Commandos” in this film! And the ending…..! And the post-credits scene/trailer! 🙂
*SPOILERS*
*END OF SPOILERS*
This film almost put tears in my eyes because it was so much better than those awful 1970s television movies and that 1990 straight-to-DVD film.
I never thought of Captain America as a patriotic, white-supremacist figure; I liked him because he was colorful, kicked ass and had that great shield.
It’s a wonderful thing to have a goal. Mine: to see a GREAT “Avengers” movie on May 4, 2012!
Okay, Here It Is! "The Amazing Spider-Man" Trailer
Hmm….a little darker this time (including the parents‘ backstory is a good idea in this regard)….. I’m sure it’ll be great, but talk about deja vu…. 🙂 I hope this franchise won’t be rebooted every decade. I mean, does Peter Parker have to be perpetually 17, like Archie Andrews?
And Before "Harry Potter," "The Dark Knight Rises" Trailer!
Powerful, although I had to see it here to “get it.” Couldn’t follow or understand it in the theater.
