Gotta Win it ! is Title of New eBay Catalogue!
Mood:  d'oh
Topic: eBay Info

 

"Gotta Win it ! "

Been so busy revising our active listings and our expired listings that I almost forgot to blog about the new eBay Catalogue we received! The title of the catalogue is 'Gotta win it!' and features a Spider-man action figure on the cover, (just for us, LOL ! ), a red Corvette for eBay Motors 'BID&WIN' promotion, plus some electronic items including an iPod Shbffle, Motorola RAZR, and a handbag.... 

Inside first two pages feature a swing set, (hate to pay shipping for that!), tickets, tunic, fire pit, bike, sony camcorder, and webkinz.

Page 8 has a baseball bat, baseball trading card, baseball glove and vintage baseball photo.... baseball anyone???!

Page 9 has basketball hoop, basketball jersey, nike shoes, get the picture???!

There are also Beatle records pictured.... but the catalogue is more varied than the others that we have received in the past several months.  Hopefully yours (and our) sales will pick up with this promo??!!!!

Launching May 2nd of 2008!

The IRON MAN Movie !

 

That's right!  The new movie poster is shown to the right, just above the photo of the Iron Man suit that we ran a few weeks ago in this blog!

The Iron Man movie is now in production with  Robert Downey Jr (as Iron Man), Gwyneth Paltrow (as Pepper Potts), and Terrence Howard (as War Machine),  in the Jon Favreau-directed film.

This is the first film in which Marvel Entertainment provides the financing through its arrangement with Merrill Lynch, so this needs to be a blockbuster film for the stockholders!

It looked like a good movie script at the SDCC, but the casting so far is a little strange in my opinion!  And now it looks 'back to its' roots' for inspiration!  That's the first thing of this movie that I personally like so far !!!

As a reminder, Marvel Entertainment has recently cast Paltrow to play Virginia "Pepper" Potts, who is the personal assistant to Tony Stark, the millionaire playboy, whose alter ego is Iron Man.

Pepper Potts was first introduced in the comic book, Tales of Suspense #45 in September of 1963 !  See bottom right for the comic book cover. There will have to be some changes made to Gywneth for her to look even close to how Pepper was portrayed in the comics....

Then again, Kirsten Dunst is a blonde who plays a redhead in the Spider-Man movies, and the new female character who plays Gwen Stacy is a red-head that plays the blonde part.... So Go Figure.... That's the Magic of Hollywood !!   

Gywneth starred in 'Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow', which I really enjoyed... so I am willing to give her a chance at this role in Iron Man. Just as I am more willing to give this movie a chance, with it going back to the original armor to start out with... (maybe in flashback??). 

For those interested in the Invincible Iron Man comic books, we have a few listed in our eBay Featured Store and eBay Pro Store.

Thanks for viewing this popular culture / comics blog post.... and feel free to comment!

Less Johnny Depp !!

Pirates 3 Has Less Johnny Depp On Screen...  and May See Backlash Of Disappointed Fans Who Didn't Like Pirates 2 Anyway... Johnny's character is said to be shown about half of the movie's running time!

( According to USA Today 05-24-07 ) 

Pirates 3 Movie Execs are now concerned that Movie Goers may not go this weekend to see the movie!  Appears that there were more people disappointed in Pirates 2 than originally talked about! Plus there is a lot less of Johnny Depp in this looooong movie!

Strange how this is just coming out now, with the movie starting!  Almost the same type of news we hear each year about IRS audits catching non-payers just before April 15th tax deadline for filing!

We haven't seen Shrek 3 yet.... of course we have seen Spidey 3, and I am tempted to see Pirates 3 just for the special effects, which should be seen on the Big Screen but so far the news hasn't been good coming out!

Shrek 3 is said to be having staying power... that youngsters are wanting to see it a second time, which could have the ticket sales skewed a little for this weekend even with Pirates 3 coming out and Spidey still out there!

It is a great time for going to the theaters.... Anyone that has seen Pirates 3 please comment below.  The ratings for Pirates 3 are coming in at the low end of the star system from movie critics, and we would like to know what you think before I talk Tina into going to see it!

 Heroes TV Show

05-21-07 Season Finale

' Chapter 23 '

'How To Stop An Exploding Man' was the Chapter's Title tonight... and it was what the whole season has led to.... for those that have not seen the ending and don't wish to know...

DON'T READ THE BELOW!  SPOILER WARNING ! 

Open to scene at Kirby Plaza Building - Medical Offices:  Continued from last episode... Molly realizes she knows Parkman.. he had promised to protect her... which he does now!

Peter tells Nathan in underground parking structure that Sylar will be the bomb... not him as he had once thought!

Peter time travels to recent past... sees his mother talking to Charles, (the dying black man), he had been taking care of. Charles knows that Peter is there watching,  but can't see him...  Charles tells Peter how to save the world... "All that matters is Love" ! 

The battle scene:  Claire has to shoot Peter. "Future Not Written In Stone" is verbalized. Nathan says to Peter you saved the cheerleader so we can save the world! With that Nathan flies Peter high into the air... BIG FLASH erupts ... (bomb?)...

End of Volume One...

However, Volume Two Starts tonight with an opening scene..

Hiro lands in feudal Japan, outside Kyoto Japan... the year is 1671... then darkness overcomes him and the soldiers  that looked like they were coming to fight him... the darkness is a solar eclipse! 

(To Be Continued Next Season!)

We enjoyed this season finale as it tied up some loose ends, and left us wanting to see more... we'll be back next year for sure for the opener! (However if it continues with the excessive gore, it may lose us afterwards.)

 'Lost' TV Show

05-23-07

2 Hour Season Finale

SPOILER WARNING! Do Not Read This If You Have Not Seen The Episode, Or You Do Not Want To Know The Ending!

Opening Shot - Bearded Jack on Oceanic Flight that is landing in 20 minutes. Cut to Jack on a bridge, makes a cell phone call, gets out of vehichle, standing on a bridge, possibly to jump and we hear another vehichle behind him slamming into somtething. Tina wonders why Jack is bearded in this scene(?).  

Cut to the Island's beach where everyone is packing and leaving except for the three staying behind to trap the others that are coming!

Those three are Sayid, Bernard and Jin. They are to shoot the dynamite that is hidden in the tents to kill the others that are expected to show up soon.

Cut to the 'Looking Glass', the underwater tank outpost, where Charlie has been captured. Two of the others, Greta and Bonnie hurt him as they interogate him. 

The 'Others' group attacking the beach camp come in. Three tents are marked for them to kidnap the pregnant women. A gun battle ensues. Only two of the dynamite traps are set off, the third fails to explode.  Tom of the Others reports in to Ben. Seven of the Others were killed during the gunbattle. Bernard under duress tells Tom where the Lost group had gone. Tina thought this would be highly unlikely as Bernard's wife was with that group!

Cut to Ben's group - Ben plans to go to radio tower. Richard to take remainder of Others to the temple.

Lost Group - Kate argues with Sawyer about going back for Sayid's group.

Desmond wakes up on boat just before Michail shoots at him. He dives into water and reaches Charlie being held captive.

Michail scuba dives to Looking Glass, finds out that the two Others are there, (Greta & Bonnie), and that Ben has lied to him and the Others.

Locke wakes up in pit where Dharma group were thrown in to finish dying. Walt appears to him at top of pit.

Ben and Alex intercept Jack's group an hour away from the radio tower. Ben tells Jack that the woman that parachuted onto island is a bad person. If Jack uses the phone she brought, her people will come and kill all the Others and Jack's Lost Group. Ben orders Tom to kill Jin, Bernard and Sayid if he doesn't call back in one minute.  Jack says no, we hear shots over the walkie talkie Ben is holding. Jack proceeds to beat Ben up.

 Michail shoots Greta and Bonnie, Desmond spear guns Michail... Bonnie tells Charlie the code is the Beach Boys 'Good Vibrations' song.

Ben tells Alex the Frenchwoman is her mother.

Hurley attacks the camp with the old VW van, knocking down one Other, while Sayid kills the second Other with his feet. Tom is left alone. Tome gives up, but Sawyer shoots him for taking Walt off the raft like he had promised earlier.

Charlie puts in code, then received incoming transmission from Penny. She says she doesn't know a Naomi. Charlie figures out what that means, just as Michail hurls a grenade from outside the 'Looking Glass'. With water pouring in, Charlie writes on his hand, 'Not Penny's Boat' which Desmond sees thru the glass separating him and Charlie.  Charlie makes the sign of the cross and drowns.

Now the jamming signal is off, but Naomi still can't use phone. French Woman's broadcast message is interferring.

Ben is tied to tree outside of radio tower. Naomi tries to use the phone. Ben says Naomi making that call is the beginning of the end! (Continued top of next column)

Lost Is Finding Its' Way!

 

(Continued from bottom of first column)
Locke shows up and throws his knife into Naomi's back.
Jack answers the incoming call, figuring Locke won't kill him. Jack is thinking that answering call will lead to his group being rescued.

Flashback again to bearded Jack... except it's NOT a flashback... It's in the future!!!  Jack was calling Kate on his cell phone. Kat and Jack have survived... Oceanic has given them Gold Passes to fly anywhere Oceans has flights.  

Tina called it, (that the person Jack was calling was Kate). But who was in the coffin at the funeral home, why is Jack's dad considered to be alive at hospital that Jack works at...

THIS WAS A COOL ENDING!  Best season finale CLIFFHANGER this season on TV !
