I...Gingerguy, when I was young I LOVED superheroes. I always tuned in to "Super Friends" on Saturday mornings and enjoyed other similar cartoons as well. And "Wonder Woman" with Lynda Carter? I adored her. I even liked "The Flash" with John Wesley Shipp, but was never into "The Incredible Hulk" much. There was a one-shot (well, two if you count a "roast" that followed later) called "Legends of the Superheroes" and I was crazy about it! But so many shitty movies were made, some that never saw the light of day like "Fantastic Four" by Roger Corman and "Justice League." By the time this most recent craze took hold I was beyond fully grown and never got on board with it (and, anyway, few of the heroes are anything like the ones I loved as a kid.) I've never seen any "Dante's Cove" but will try to sometime.<br /><br />Dave, I've never seen any "Glee" nor any "Smallville." Regarding the latter, I saw not long ago where both Dean Cain and Helen Slater appeared on that show, too, so my post about them on "Supergirl" is rather anticlimactic! Slater played Lara-El, Superboy's real mother, on three occasions, in fact.<br /><br />Armando, before I began blogging, I was a prolific imdb.com reviewer (I guess user commentor would be more apt) and I wrote about "Supergirl," giving it a negative assessment for the most part (even though I've always enjoyed it on a good/bad, tacky level.) Immediately, fans of the film descended like rabid wolves on my post and, to this day, more than six years later, that ranks as 801 out of 801 in terms of my lowest rated review ("least useful") there. It was at the bottom days after I wrote it and never left! So someone out there really loves it!! I have the movie on DVD and there are two or three versions of it included!! Also a very hooty promo with Faye Dunaway acting as if she's about to give the world another "Star Wars" or even more. (It's worth watching simply to hear her say the word, "Suuupergarrrl.")Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-27860079158745860932015-11-12T00:56:40.041-05:002015-11-12T00:56:40.041-05:00I saw Supergirl the year it opened and I'm sti...I saw Supergirl the year it opened and I'm still waiting for my money back. Not even Peter O'Toole or Brenda Vaccaro's sassy performance could save it.<br />I don't watch much TV, but I do hope the show fares better. <br />I wonder why the superhero movies are still so popular. I mean, there's new releases and new franchises and reboots every year for the last 15 years or so and there's always seem to be a willing audience. I keep thinking of Tina Turner singing "We Don't Need Another Hero", but apparently we do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-86131816020382715852015-11-10T14:32:13.101-05:002015-11-10T14:32:13.101-05:00I am one of those poor unfortunates who watched Gl...I am one of those poor unfortunates who watched Glee pretty much until the bitter end. The first 13 episodes (the original order) were magical, and everything else that followed mostly was awful. Poor Melissa was stuck in the bad years with a bad storyline, nevertheless, she can clearly sing and often had a big number to show off her voice and charm. I'm happy that she got this role, but I think Smallville burned me out on all things Super.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10845967694366470260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-45446966566530057782015-11-10T11:11:08.160-05:002015-11-10T11:11:08.160-05:00Poseidon, you and I are on the same (comic book) p...Poseidon, you and I are on the same (comic book) page on a lot of this. Like your aversion to Calista, I have avoided any superhero tv shows like the plague. There has been a lot of buzz about the feminism of this show (always welcome) but now I don't have to even watch a little thanks to this post. First of all, Tracy Scoggins is the true immortal to me, not only for "The Colby's" but even recently for "Dante's Cove" where her Witch really stood out among the naked men and crazy plots. That's not easy if you have ever seen that show. I love the picture of Faye Dunaway, she was a scream in "Supergirl". The casting of Helen Slater is really nice, she looks so pretty, and Dean can play Daddy anytime if you ask me!Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.com
