Is it just me, or is King Randor, from the 1980s cartoon He-Man and the Masters of the Universe by Filmation, the archetype for Burger King?

Quick review of Cline's Armada
Armada by Ernest Cline--a quick review Hot on the heels of the fantastic adventure called Ready Player One , Ernest Cline decided to keep it going with a new book called Armada . Clearly another video game retread though as, while most of it is the same type of thing as Ready Player One , Armada does not have the same magic. Basically, the concept for the first book was so good—intriguing and electrifying—that he simply couldn't duplicate it. The characters don't seem as strong and the prose doesn't seem as stylistically interesting. However, the fascinating part of the book is his re-imagination of what science fiction is in the first place. His references to sci-fi mythos is truly for any nerd to love. Little glimmers like that, that tell us we are not alone in our fandom, are really worth reading about. I still liked Armada . Don't get me wrong. I have always loved the concept of if the movie The Last Starfighter suddenly came true and
The Prisoner by Jack Kirby
One of the greats of all comicdom also loved my favorite show of all time. Here are the pages he managed to do on a comic book version of the first episode. It was pulled before it ever came to fruition. Shame.
Happy birthday to Harry Revenge! I have a plot...page a day...I can do it.

Superfriends was awfully silly. This is Batman being attacked by space turtles on another planet.

Poor Aquaman
Aquaman always gets the short end of the stick. So many authors have never been able to write his character properly. Case in point, an episode of The Superfriends from the 70s called "The Incredible Space Circus" gives him a funny line. Jayna : Oh boy. I can't wait to see the incredible space circus at the Metropolis fairgrounds. Superman : I wonder what's holding up Wonder Woman? She was supposed to meet us here an hour ago. I'm afraid we'll have to cancel our date to go to the circus, Jayna. We've got to try to find Wonder Woman. Aquaman : I'll check the oceans.

Interesting takeaways from the audio commentary for Return of the Jedi
George Lucas helped with the audio commentary on the DVD set for the Star Wars Special Edition . It has always been my contention that he really didn't have much of a plan for scripts outside of one story. And I really believe now that he only had one really long story, a la Lord of the Rings , that he couldn't really have put into one movie back in the 70s. First of all, he admits that he brought the Death Star into A New Hope simply to have a climax. It wasn't supposed to be there. That's why he basically just rehashes the Death Star battle in Return of the Jedi . That was where it was supposed to go in the first place. This tells me that he was just stretching out his one story. "There were a lot of things that were added in to this one because of the fact that I got down this far from the original script, the story had become pretty thin..." "...Luke managing to redeem his father." Notice how he does NOT say Anakin redeeming himself.
From the inside liner to the David Lee Roth LP . I can't stop laughing😂😂
