Hancock Is Not A Comic Book Superhero Movie!
Mood:  d'oh
Topic: Other Movie Genres

 

Hancock Is Not A Comic Book Superhero Movie!

That being said, is it a film that Tina and I would have interest in viewing, and what were our thoughts about it?

That is the question that was posed to us, as we had not yet blogged about it!

This upcoming July 2nd 2008 film has teaser trailers being shown right now.

The first trailer was basically surprising to me, as it appeared to be delving into the past of Iron Man when Tony Stark had a story arc in the comic book title where he dealt with alcoholism.

The newest trailer emphasizes the humor and the action moments of the film. Sadly this is not exactly what the film is about it.

The film itself has gone through several title changes and suggested title changes. It started as 'Tonight, He Comes' back in 1996.

Additionally several production people have revolved through the project. Not always a good sign...

This film would be more of a gamble with its' drinking problem, and other plotlines if not for its' major star Will Smith. With his multitude of fans, it should have a good opening and then word of mouth should either give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

Besides drinking in front of a 17 year old, and flying under the influence, there are other scenes that may be disturbing to parents. Supposedly a 'statutory rape' scene has been deleted, as the marketing campaign has been one of 'action and humor', instead of the darker elements that are or were in this film to begin with.

So what are my thoughts?  I have to go with my gut feeling as to what this film is all about and what do I want for my entertainment dollar when out at the Movie Theater.

As the director of the film, Peter Berg said, "The ad campaign for this movie is much friendlier than this film". 

I don't like going to see films on the Big Screen for Big Bucks and then finding out what I thought I would be seeing is not what the ad campaign suggested it would be like!

I think I'll save the Big Bucks to view on the Big Screen for films like Get Smart, The Dark Knight, X-Files - I Want To Believe, and save Hancock to view on rental DVD, as I have liked almost all of Will Smith's previous films and will give this a play when the time comes.

The above is JMHO for now!

So what is it that is appealing to potential viewers of this upcoming July 2nd 2008 Film?  Well, the main appeal would have to be that of Will Smith playing the role of John Hancock!

It's The Amazing....
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Comic Book History

 

Spider-Maze...

 Not Spider-Man!

 

I'm talking about just one of the many 'maze pages' in one of Marvel Comics' titles that were aimed for kids at one time!

The comic book series was titled 'Fun And Games' and was a regular sized comic book even though it was a compilation of mazes, word scrambles, coloring pages, trivia tests, etc.!

Due to the fact that most of these 'interactive' comics were written in or cut out or even colored... the odds of finding a Near Mint (NM) copy today is actually harder than one would think!

We have several issues in varying condition grades listed for sale at this time, and wanted to bring this to our readers' attention as these have been an undervalued and overlooked comic book series but we find are being looked for today by collectors!

For those of you that are new to our blog, we have an ongoing comics and pop culture convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!

 

Thanks for reading this popular culture - comics - comic books blog post and please come back again!

Steve Carrell Gets Smart!
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Other Movie Genres

 

Steve Carrell Gets Smart!

 

After the debacle of Evan Almighty, Steve Carell looks like he's hitting in his sweet spot as Maxwell Smart in Get Smart.

If you're a fan of The Office, you know that no comedic actor is more dead-on at deadpan delivery than Steve Carell.  He routinely has audiences delightedly yelling "Oh no!" at their tv screens.  Yes, the writing is what makes The Office great, but without Carrell's relentless delivery, the show would not work.  There hasn't been such a "cringe-worthy" character on the small screen since Seinfeld's George Costanza.

Let's just hope that the Get Smart writers give Carell what he needs - we know he can deliver.  If the trailers are any indication, Get Smart which opens nationwide on June 20 is going to be a fun trip back to yesteryear.


If you're a Steve Carell fan and haven't seen Dan in Real Life, I encourage you to check it out.  He really stretches his acting, and not just comedic, chops in this bittersweet romantic comedy with Juliette Binoche.  The story is hysterically funny, adult, and touching. (Yes, Michael cried.)

Tina!

ANOTHER Positive Feedback On The 24 TV Show Card Game!
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: TV Shows

 

We Have Another Happy Buyer Who Received Their

 Jack Bauer  / “24TV Show Card Game!

Just had another +FB from a buyer who received their  Jack Bauer  24 Card Game!

Their +FB comment was: "Game is just as described! Well packed and fast shipping. Professional service".

Well, we are happy to 'Make It So' for this  “24 fan who can at least play the card game until the 2009 Season finally arrives!

'24' was one of the major casualties of the recent writers’ strike.  Like most fans, I could hardly wait until January for a new day.  But the strike knocked the new season of the wildly popular show to January 2009!  Yikes – what’s a citizen to do?

You can play the 24 Card Game like our buyer will be doing!

Yes, you too can be a CTU agent hot on the trail of a ruthless terrorist!  Or, you might even BE the terrorist – it’s all in the luck of the draw in this exciting game.  It feels just like the show – as the CTU agent you collect and use “Technology” cards like “Gear,” “Science,” and “Intel” to defeat the terrorist.  You’ll feel like you’re Chloe, or Bill Buchanan.
 
Ironically, the card game is “Made in China.”  I wonder how Jack Bauer  feels about that!

A Few Well Protected Examples!

A Few Well Protected Examples!

 

Earlier today I blogged about a comic book that had been found in an old shed and was now being listed on eBay at 99 cents opening bid.

It was THE Key Issue of the Incredible Hulk  #1 from 1962 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby!

It was NOT properly bagged, boarded and stored for all those many years, thus the Poor grade it would be given.

However, there are several comics, matter of fact over 1,000,000 comics now, that have been encapsulated by CGC after being graded.

Those graded/certified/ encapsulated comics come in sealed plastic holders to keep the certification and to help protect the comics from any additional wear.
