TOD:

I not a big fan of movies from superhero comic books, though I did think that the first IRON MAN with Robert Downey, Jr. was pretty good.

I did not like any of the BATMAN movies. On the other hand, GOTHAM started our okay, but I tired of it about halfway through the season.

I really enjoyed the first three X-MEN movies; thought they were intelligently scripted and well done.

BK,

I like the title of your column today.

Reminds me of the title of a book I wrote.

I need to return to Toyland one more time.

So I can post "Greetings from Toyland!" which I'd thought about beforehand but always forgot to do.

Only 3 more days to go, guess I had better get up and moving.

Well my massage therapy was a great success. I no longer have the pain in my lower back/upper backside.......a bit of pain in the calf remains, but it doesn't inhibit me much.

Therapist said that I had a few small muscle tears and they would heal in two-four weeks, and just to be very careful lifting and carrying.....which I shall do.

But walking and standing is no longer impossible.....

Yes DR CHAS SMITH those dreams are probably better kept secret.

Have fun at High School.

TOD:
I never read comic books. But I have liked all the Spiderman movies. I only just recently saw the newer "The Amazing Spiderman" on television and I liked it very much. I was surprised they made it though because the Toby McGuire movies were made just not that long ago. I swear, sometimes it seems like Hollywood just runs out of ideas so they have to remake old stuff that's not even that old. I liked the "Ironman" movies too. I also just recently saw "Captain America" and was surprised at how much I liked it. I've grown tired of the "Batman" movies and I can't stand Christopher Nolan as Batman. He's okay as Bruce Wayne, but he does weird things with his mouth in the Batman costume and we all know how important Batman's mouth is in that costume.

Thanks for the condolences. I really liked Louie and will miss him. I decided to work at home this morning and will go to the funeral this afternoon.

I don't care for the recent spate of comic books movies for one reason: too much CGI. Looks too fake and I'm sorry but even with all of the technical skill and the talented artists that work on these movies, still fake. Now, back in the days when artists painted mattes and models were used for trains rounding a mountain, those were all done to scale and in camera or in process, and while we can see some fakery in those shots, there were many, many more matte shots that go undetected by the audience. That's the mark of a skilled artist; that you don't notice that the artist was even there, and the eye accepts what it sees as natural.

Comic books brought to movies:

I haven't seen them in years, but the BLONDIE movies were always fun.
Cartoons were a natural next step for comic books, so I liked ARCHIE and the JUSTICE LEAGUE, AQUAMAN, GIGANTOR.
DICK TRACY has been enjoyable whether it was the 1940s serials, the 1960s cartoons or the Warren Beatty movie, even despite Madonna. I know there are a lot of fans out there, but watch the movie now and you will see how out of place she is. She does not have the timelessness of Elizabeth Taylor, etc.

I was never a fan of the George Reeves SUPERMAN. Don't know why, but I also never was a fan of the original KING KONG. I don't dislike them. They're just not something I go back to for entertainment. Maybe it's a generational thing.
The first two Christopher Reeve SUPERMANs were very good, if somewhat predictable. They are Chinese food movies. Great while they're on, leave you wanting more, and forgettable for a while after.
I am not a big fan of the BATMAN movies, but I have always loved the 1966-68 Adam West series plus the "feature". Yes, they were campy and full of day-glo colors, but they were fun and a great stopping off point for big stars of the Golden Age before they shuffled off for good altogether.

Most of the Charlie Brown/Peanuts feature films and TV shows were good, particularly the earlier ones. I always thought it daring for Schulz, Mendelson and Melendez to have jazz music on a kid's show and Rod McKuen on a kid's movie.

I love to greet DRs with "howdy."
And then eat some of John G.'s pandowdy.

Are throwing back gimlets,
Or else they're just naturally rowdy.
