Alvin and The Chipmunks Movie Is Our HOTTEST Blog Topic!
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Comic Book Movies

Our Blog Posts About Alvin and the Chipmunks Upcoming Movie...

... Which Is Being Released on December 14, 2007,  Is Our Most Looked At Blog Topic!

Seriously!!

Our eBay Blog Posts being searchable on Google.com might be directing some of that traffic toward our way, but I think it is funny that this movie, which isn't out until late in the year is getting so many looks at on our blog right now! 

Of course The Chipmunks have gained a few generations of fans during the years!

The Chipmunk trio and Dave Seville made recording, broadcasting and merchandising history by selling 43 million albums, starring in their own animated primetime series, plus numerous primetime specials, and the number one network Saturday Morning shows seen in over 100 countries in 40 languages during the course of their existence.

I enjoyed Alvin and the Chipmunks as a kid, and of course had one of their Christmas albums that would drive anyone nuts playing it too long!  Those squeaky voices can get to you after a while....

Anyway as a recap, even with the current movies out, including Transformers which we have blogged steadily on, the Chipmunks Movie is getting more hits than any of our previous movie blog posts!

For those interested in Funnybooks and humor genre of cartoon comic books, we have several for sale in our eBay Featured Store.

Thanks for reading this pop culture / comic book blog post and if YOU know of any new development on Alvin, please let us know by commenting below!!!

We are getting ready to attend the largest popular culture / comic book convention in the 'Americas' that starts next week!

The convention programs and exhibit floor takes up ALL of the available space the San Diego Convention Center has to offer!

The convention planners have the exhibit floor categorized into sections. Comic Book sellers here, toy sellers there, small press publishers here, large mainstream publishers there, and so forth.

When I am physically at a new comic book store while on a buying trip, or at a dealer's booth at a convention, the biggest turn-off is seeing that their backstock is NOT in any kind of order. Even alphabetically by title would be a help! 

At enormous conventions like the SDCC, those dealers don't even get the once over by Tina and myself, UNTIL we have shopped at all the other dealers who have their merchandise organized!!

So it amazes me that there are eBay sellers that have an eBay store and don't have their categories set up!

We are NOT the biggest eBay Store in our category, currently we keep about 2,200 items listed.

We do consider ourselves to be One of the better  pop culture stores in providing a service in grading, listing and shipping timely the items we sell as evidenced by our 10,462 postive feedbacks with only one negative, (100% +fb score).

But this is because we keep our backstock in order, and list the items for sale by CATEGORY in our eBay Store.  It may not be the best categorization ever, I have literally seen dozens of different category schemes in our sales niche alone, but it seems to work for us!   

But, as with anything on the web, there is always room for improvement!  If YOU know of a better way of organizing a store, we would like to hear about it! 

Or if you are already a shopper with us, let us know how we make our items easier for you to find!  We are here to listen as well as kepunch!

Plus check back with us at the end of July after this year's SDCC for items that we were able to pick up for resale in our eBay Featured Store .

Sunday... Roger & Ebert.... and Parade Magazine
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: Comic Book History

... Were Talking About 'Hairspray' Which Starts This Friday In Theaters.

Which reminded me of a blog post I published earlier about John Travolta:

-----------------------------------

John Travolta.... Trading A Dress For A Stetson?

 

Imagine my surprise after writing a blog post on John Travolta in comics earier last week and then to see the above mentioned in this past Sunday's Parade Magazine !

John Travolta just recently finished his role in the upcoming 'Hairspray" musical film which is due out July 20th.

So the mention about 'trading a dress for a Stetson' was about his going from the 'Hairspray' role to the J.R. Ewing role in the film version of the 1980's TV Series 'Dallas'.

According to 'Parade' Magazine, the casting for that updated movie version of Dallas is in 'flux', with only John Travolta remaining attached!

Others rumored to have been in the cast were: Jennifer Lopez, Meg Ryan, Luke Wilson, Brad Pitt and Shirley MacLaine!

Dallas was a very popular, long-running  primetime television soap opera about the Ewings, who were a very wealthy Texas oil family. The show initially aired on the CBS network for 13 seasons, from April 2, 1978 to May 3, 1991.

Dallas was broadcast around the world and is still considered today to be the most successful drama series in TV history!

The Dallas TV series is probably best-known for the central character of J.R. Ewing.    J.R. was the vain, scheming, crass oil baron played by the Fort Worth Texas native Larry Hagman for the TV show's entire run.

Ironically, J.R. was only meant to be a supporting character when the show first premiered! The show was originally to be based around the life of J.R.'s brother Bobby and his new bride Pam. However, with Larry Hagman playing the J.R. role, the popularity of J.R. took off and he became the focus of the series. 

In my mind John Travolta, who looks really distinguished in a suit, (see top right pic), could play the J.R. role convincingly.  Too bad the film pre-production is in a state of flux. 

Then again, most of the remakes I have seen of my favorite TV shows have been really messed with, sometimes with no real link to what the film was originally based on! Or the characters are so changed they aren't like what made the TV show a hit!

For those interested in seeing more TV Show & Movie Comic Books, we have several comics listed in our Featured Store !  Thanks for reading this pop culture / comic book blog post!
