Finally.... Red Sonja Is Coming!

Well it will be a wait... as it isn't scheduled to be released until 2010, but at least it is on track finally!

The big news this weekend was that Rose McGowan has finally found a script that she like enough to bring to director Robert Rodriguez!

Robert was a co-director of 'Grindhouse' and also of 'Planet Terror'.

Rose was the Planet Terror zombie slayer and is Robert's real-life leading lady.

Red Sonja (Sonya) was a creation of REH, (Robert E Howard), and was brought to Marvel Comics in the Bronze Age of Comic Books!

Red Sonja was brought to the Big Screen back in 1985 by Brigitte Nielsen.

Since then there have been a few false starts, but it looks like 2010 will see the debut of the new Red Sonja!

We have noticed a resurgence of Conan the Barbarian Comics from Marvel Comics that featured Red Sonja, so there have been several speculators out there already grabbing copies of her appearances while they are less expensive!

Additionally Red Sonja had three series of her own from Marvel and has had a recent Dynamite Comics series.

I for one will be looking forward to this upcoming film!

What We Are Watching Now...

The West Wing!

Right now we are waiting for Season 3 of 'The West Wing' to come in, after viewing Seasons 1 & 2 this past week.

This great TV Series was one of Tina's 'TV Shows' that she watched before we married a few years ago.

I hadn't watched it before, and found myself very interested in the final seasons, starting midway in Season 4. I usually don't like getting 'involved' with a series that has been on for a while, but found the actors to be well casted and after a while tended to ignore the sometime 'preachy' aspects from the producers and just let myself be entertained by the storyline.

Recently with the 'presumptive' nominee Obama winning the Democratic nomination, I've missed watching the fun of actual campaign races being fought everyday on the cable networks.

When I saw Season One of this TV Show for rental, I queried Tina if she wouldn't mind if I rented the DVD for us to view.

Turns out she had only see most of the episodes of Season 1 & 2 herself, and thus we have been enjoying watching this 'timely' show the past couple of weeks.

Now we are watching another DVD set while waiting for Season 3 of 'West Wing' to come in.

BTW, if you have not seen all the episodes of this series, it has a high recommendation from Tina and myself!

We do watch more than just Sci-Fi and Comic Book Movies!

It's A

Red Light... Green Light...

Glass!

(Engineer Bill Collectibles!)

Back on April 27th 2008 I blogged about 'Engineer Bill' and what fun I had watching his show.

Early this morning I received an email from a reader of that archived blog post, who has one of the rare 'Red Light - Green Light Glasses' on auction right now till July 3rd 2008!

Andy aka eBayer android007 has listed a glass on item listing number 230265881971 that is scheduled to end July 3rd 2008 18:42:33 PDT unless he takes a BIN offer before that!

Below is a repost of the blog that Andy found us at:

"One of the earliest things I can remember from my childhood was when my dad, who was in the Navy, was stationed in Long Beach.

It was during that time that Engineer Bill (Stulla) hosted a kid's TV show on KHJ Channel 9 in Los Angeles.

He was a favorite TV show host during the 1950's and 1960's.

His show was broadcast on every week day about when school had been out for a while, with enough time to get home to watch his show.

What really stuck out in my memory was his 'Red Light - Green Light' portion of the show, where my brother and I would drink, stop, drink, and so on when he would say 'green light' for us kids to drink the milk out of the glass, and 'red light' to stop drinking!

Some of the things that stick in your mind don't always make sense years later, but it was here that I found that drinking and eating what's good for you was fun!

By the way, other local televised kid's shows of Los Angeles during that time were Sheriff John, Chucko the Clown, and Bozo the Clown.

I don't remember many 'National' shows that I watched during that time but one for sure was Captain Kangaroo seen in black and white format.  

I was recently emailed asking if we had any more Engineer Bill collectibles for sale, from a reader who saw my previous blog post on Engineer Bill. We don't, and I noticed there is a dearth of them on eBay! So anyone out there with some to possible list, let us know and we'll blog about for you!"

The above offer still stands, and we'll do the same for you that we are doing here today for Andy and his listing 230265881971 that is scheduled to end July 3rd 2008 18:42:33 PDT!

Jericho TV Show Renewal Campaign Still Going...!

Yesterday I blogged about the new Season 2 DVD set of the Jericho TV Show, both here and in our non-eBay Blog.

We had a comment added on last night on the other non-eBay blog post, from Gwen at Jericho-Kansas.com that I wanted to share here for more publicity on the effort that is still going to save this show.

Here is Gwen's comment:
