Marvel Super Hero Squad

I have seen two episodes of Marvel Super Hero Squad, they are based on the toys, of the mini Marvel heroes. Spider-Man is absent from this series, it is for the under 7 set and clearly looks likes. Iron Man is the leader and the roster mainly contains Captain America, Hulk, Falcon, Thor, Silver Surfer and Wolverine. The bad guys are led by Fantastic Four's main villain Doctor Doom, green amphibian Abomination and a squeaky voiced MODOK (giant floating head with little arms and legs). One episode I saw had a young rookie named Reptil (not created for the show--he's one of the latest characters from The Avengers) and the episode was pretty juvenile. There is not a lot of female heroes, they might guest for one episode but not part of the whole roster. In one episode, Mystique (voiced by Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles' own Lena Headey!!!) comes in disguised as Black Widow of S.H.I.E.L.D. and 'mystifies' the boys, except for Silver Surfer and Hulk in order to infiltrate the crew. It was a great episode, it was really smart episode and flipped on its head the 'clone spy' episode with 'femme fatale' episode. The villains also rotate, in this episode Screaming Mimi was present and looked like a clown.

The voices of the main heroes are stereotypical: Thor speaks old school viking, Captain America speaks like a 30's superhero, Hulk smash, and so on. Marvel is known for their strong women characters, it is shame they aren't highlighted in this series. Clearly this series is aimed toward boys. The producers have a lot of Marvel characters at their disposal--from Fantastic Four, X-Men, the Avengers, etc. Some of the characters don't even have toys yet--Enchantress is yet to be released and Screaming Mimi doesn't have one at all, so interesting she is on the show. Some of the guest voices are shown above. Interesting enough, Shawn Ashmore who played Iceman in the X-Men movies will play Iceman's voice on this show. James Marsters (Spike of Buffy) will play Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic and Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn of Buffy) will play Valkyrie in one episode. An annoying part is when they 'Hero up,' it is useless. This show and a couple of other new shows on Cartoon Network make its Saturday Morning line-up very vibrant.

Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) cameos on Medium

In tonight's episode on CBS October 30th, 2009, Cassandra Peterson cameoed as Patricia Arquette's character Alison DuBbouis but dressed as Elvira and looking good at 58 (she became so on September 17)!

Sugar Daddy Ken

Ah dios, Ken has looked like a 90's gay man, has had a beard (other than Barbie) that you could 'shave off,' a prince, a groom, and now Ken is a Floridian with a fake tan. Inspired by Palm Beach and with a dog named 'Sugar,' Sugar Daddy is a reference to the dog, meaning he is the dog's father. And that is after Barbie broke up with him and hooked up with another doll.

What is a Comptroller?

We've heard it on the Simpsons, and now the guy opposing Bloomberg for New York mayor is a comptroller. A comptroller is a person who supervises accounting and financial reporting within an organization. A controller is an accountant in a business who oversees accounting and the implementation and monitoring of internal controls. In the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, a controller or financial controller is a senior position within most companies. Basically they are in charge of the money. The term comptroller evolved in the 15th century through a blend of the Middle English countreroller (someone who checks a copy of a scroll, from the French contreroule "counter-roll, scroll copy") and the French compte ("an account"), thus creating a title for a comptroller who specializes in checking financial ledgers. This etymology explains why the name is pronounced identically to "controller" despite the unique spelling.

Project Runway Season Six Episode 11 Review

This week they should have kicked out both Gordana and Logan. Gordana nodded way too much when Heidi told her what was wrong with her dress. Oh my god, Gordana should have been kicked out first. Logan, I have accused him not being kicked out because he is so cute, hot in those pants and so cute. Logan, honey, you didn't get kicked out because of taking a risk. It was tasteless and not well-portion. If you are attracted to women, study their bodies better. You are a boring designer. Rock can be boring if you see it too much. So now that there is five designers, are we finally going to get kicked out. From the preview, it is sounding that Christopher still hasn't learned his lesson, still crying and not putting a fresh eye on his crap. Think about how they are going to make fun of it and make it better. And Gordana, think fun, and fresh, stop being so drab. No, she can't help it, but I think Logan can change. And Logan was bitching too much on the other Designers right before he left.

Gay Halloween Boasting in NBC Thursday night

The shows on tonight's NBC shows have been boasting about gay Halloween parties. The annoying teenage girl on "Parks and Rec" said gay parties are better, saying it with her bi boyfriend (who dressed as a 'straight guy' and looked just like one of the main characters) and his gay boyfriend. Then on "30 Rock," the straight guy writers Toofer, Lutz and Frank wanted to go to a gay halloween party in order to score with the hot straight women. I've been to a couple of 'gay' Halloween parites, and they are not as different as 'straight' ones, just I get to make out more.
