Who's 'Hot' In Our Archived Blog Posts Tonight?

It's Laura Vandervoort,

Who Is On The Cover Of The New DVD - Season 7 Of Smallville

Even ThoughThe DVD Was Released September 9th!

Again tonight I saw a significant increase in viewership of our archived blog posts on Laura Vandervoort...

Which isn't such a big deal for us, as she is usually in the Top 20 of archived blog posts! However, she is causing 15% of our blog readership right now to be #1!

That would be even heavier activity than on September 9th when "her" new DVD that was released!

Well actually, it's the Season 7 DVD of the TV Series 'Smallville', which IMHO the producers should have never let Laura go for Season 8!

At least evidenced by Laura's ongoing Top 20 archived blog posts with our small niche blog!

So congrats to Laura for making a lasting impression on her Smallville Fans!

BTW, the MSRP on the DVD is $59.98, but you can definitely get it for less!

Have Sum Fun locating a copy for yourself!

BTW, we don't have a TV Station here, but we do have an ongoing Comic Con 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 post today and please join us again!

A Little Background....
Mood:

a-ok
Topic: Comic Cons

A Little Background.....

On myself, as I have taken eBay's suggestion and joined Facebook and started invitations to 'Facebook Friends'!

This blog post is for those that are new to me / us, as I have blogged it before, but the indexing / search mode on both of our blogs, (we publish two blogs), lack ease of searchability!

It Was Thirty-Five Years Ago This Summer.... August 16-19th 1973, that I 'officially' set up as a dealer at the San Diego Comic Con International then known as the SDCC!

I can still remember setting up that dealer table I'm standing behind as shown in the 2nd from the top right photo!

It was at the Sheraton Hotel, Harbor Island, San Diego for the 4th official SDCC Comic Con !

It was my 3rd San Diego Comic Con I had attended, and the second one that I had set up at with a 'dealer' table! The first one I had bought out another dealer on the last day at the El Cortez Hotel and took over his table to see what it was like!

This is the earliest photo that I have of me setting up at a Comic Con and am very pleased to have it published on several of our web sites' pages!

Currently Tina and I don't set up at Comic Cons to sell, but rather we attend them to pick up additional inventory to sell online as well as to attend programs that she or I have interest in! Then we blog about our thoughts on the upcoming films, TV shows or comic books here!

How the comics world has changed from 35 years ago!

Be sure to attend a Comic Con in your area to see what you are missing if you can't make the San Diego Con with over 125,000 other attendees next year! Plus buy your memberships online early as they sold out this year for all 4 day and single day memberships. (End of plug, LOL!)

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 - Comic Cons blog post and come back again!

Yes, that's Michael D Hamersky back in the Summer of 1973 at the SDCC Comic Con with almost shoulder length long hair and a skinny stomach! Oh and a few hundred comics on top of the dealer table still left to sell! Funny how so many of those comic books in the photo are worth so much more today than they were worth back then!

Captain..... EUReKA ?
Mood:

Topic: TV Shows

Captain.....

"EUReKA"

Since we watched the premiere of the 'Fringe' TV Show on this past Tuesday night, we had to tape this week's episode of 'EUReKA' that was scheduled at the same time!

So last night Tina and I watched this episode together...

When the guy in the cape and the costume showed up early in the episode, Tina turned to me and said "you're blogging this one!".

Suffice to say the guy in the cape and costume soon earned the name "Captain EUReKA" by Lexxie Carter, who the "superhero" kept showing up to save!

Sheriff Carter figured out the connection between Lexxie and the troublesome superhero when he verbalized that Superman would save Lois Lane, and that Spider-Man would save... well he had a problem on Spidey's girlfriend's name, but leave it Fargo to correct the Sheriff by saying 'Mary Jane'!

This episode was well written IMHO, tied together several of the episode's subplots, and ended nicely with the beginning scene for the next episode, where we start to see why Eva Thorne has been searching for whatever she was searching for!

If you aren't watching this show yet, and like our reviews of this and other shows that we watch and blog about, then I would suggest renting the first 2 Seasons of this show on DVD first.

Then you could get caught up online for Season 3 on the SciFi Channel dot com, as we are halfway through this Season now!

Wellllll.... not really but it makes a great caption for the photo above, doesn't it??

There's a Bigger Pattern to "Fringe"
Mood:

caffeinated
Topic: TV Shows

There's a Bigger Pattern to

"Fringe"

A mega-hyped tv show created by JJ Abrams opens with a shot of an airplane in a storm -- hmmm -- there's severe turbulence -- hmmm -- passengers are getting nervous -- hmmm.

A key character with links to the story's mythology is in a mental hospital -- hmmm.

Sound like Abrams' LOST?

Well, not exactly. Actually it "sounds" like X-Files - especially the opening theme music. "Fringe" referes to "fringe science" the study of the paranormal -- X-Files again.

Did I mention the two main characters you meet in the opening are a male-female FBI team?

In fairness, unlike X-Files, Fringe introduces the concept of a wider conspiracy (via Blair Brown's character) early on in the pilot episode. The Executive Director (Brown) of Massive Dynamics (think Microsoft meets Halliburton and plays around in genetic research) warns Olivia (the female half of the FBI team) to be very careful. You can almost hear the X-Files spine-tingling theme playing in the background.

Despite some silly plot holes, Fringe does through us some awesome curves - courtesy of Mark Valley's FBI agent character. It's nice to see the typical "all American" play a heavy for once.

I got a kick out of the crazy location "signage" -- it puts the use of these elements in shows like "24" and "Law and Order" to shame.

My verdict is "Fringe" is on my must-watch list for this tv season. Like LOST, I love a show that surprises me. They threw me some great curves in the pilot so I'm signing on for more. Michael, I'm not so sure about - he'll tell you later. He doesn't react as well to "surprise twists" as I do- he tends to call them the result of "poor writing"!!! I reserve that comment for Bobby in Dallas coming out of the shower saying it was all a dream!

If you missed Fringe you can catch the premiere episode again on Sunday. And, if you want to check out some X-Files and other "fringe-like" comic books, click here.

The Premiere Episode, (September 9th), of the Fringe TV Series was shown twice at the San Diego Comic Con International in July. However due to programming conflicts neither Michael or Tina were able to preview it. Thus last night's premiere show was also new to them....

The Premiere Episode of the Fringe TV Series included scenes with Anna Torv, Christopher Britton, Joshua Jackson, Charlotte Rampling, Kirk Acevedo, Lance Reddick, Mark Valley, John Noble, Blair Brown, and Jasika Nicole.
