Bonaduce’s Lucky / Fairplay’s Lucky

Posted on by
Great news for Danny Bonaduce; he won’t be charged for dropping reality tv personality Johnny Fairplay on his face during a telecast of an awards show.

Fairplay, 33, whose real name is Jon Dalton, had filed a police report saying that Bonaduce came onto the stage uninvited, made a derogatory comment and then committed the battery on him when Fairplay attempted to “hug” Bonaduce with one of Fairplay’s “signature moves”.

Anyone who saw the video knows that while Bonaduce did go on stage and make a comment, he was walking off stage when Fairplay called out to him. The video also shows that Fairplay’s “signature” move/hug involved him jumping uninvited into Bonaduce’s arms, straddling his legs around Bonaduce’s body and then humping him at the chest/face level. Fairplay’s lucky that he was simply thrown off.

Of course Bonaduce is lucky that no charges are being brought forward… because even if he would have been found “not guilty” it would still have cost him a good bit of money for lawyer’s fees and other expenses.

Bonaduce vs Fairplay

Danny Bonaduce is facing felony criminal charges and a lawsuit after dropping reality tv “star” Johnny Fairplay on his face last night on FOX’s Reality Channel Really Awards show. While some sites [like HERE] seem to be coming down on the side of Johnny Fairplay, after watching THE VIDEO, I don’t really blame Bonaduce for throwing Fairplay off of him.I’m a fan of neither Bonaduce nor Fairplay so I have no horse in this race. After watching THIS VIDEO it is pretty clear that Bonaduce was walking away, that Fairplay jumped on to Bonaduce and then began gyrating and that Bonaduce simply threw him off.

My guess is that it’ll probably cost Bonaduce some money either to make the lawsuit go away or to hire attorneys to fight it. Odds are even greater that both of these “celebs” will use the incident to grab a few more minutes of fame.

30 Days of Night: "No God"

Posted on by
30 Days of Night just keeps looking sweeter and sweeter.

It’s rare that a movie is better than the book or graphic novel that spawned it, but 30 Days of Night the movie just might do the trick. I love the look and feel of it. This clip has several quiet moments that are really creepy and the way the vampire says, “No God” creates such a feeling of helpless and hopelessness.

I can’t wait to see this on the big screen!

ComicBookResources.com posted the Top 50 Marvel and DC characters as voted on by fans. It gave me the idea to list my Top 10 Marvel and DC characters:
  1. Wolverine /Batman
  2. Daredevil / The Question
  3. The Punisher / Green Arrow
  4. Nick Fury / Mr. Miracle
  5. Luke Cage / Swamp Thing
  6. Sub-Mariner / The Joker
  7. Spider-Man / Superman
  8. Captain America / Robin
  9. Adam Warlock / Catwoman
  10. Iron Man / Darkseid
My list was chosen from the characters in the top 50… so no Shang Chi.

Collector’s Comics Con is Coming!

Posted on by
If you’re in the Port St. Lucie, Florida area on October 13th, you should come by the Collector’s Comic Con. It runs from 10am – 5pm and promises to be a fun way to spend the day. Big John Beatty, Alex Saviuk, Herb Trimpe and others will be on hand to sign autographs and sketch for fans. I’ll be there hanging out with Beatty and messing with con promoter Keith Mallow.

The show is always a lot of fun. Hope to see you there!

Superman / Doomsday

I got a chance to watch the Superman / Doomsday animated movie yesterday.While not on par with the Fleischer Superman cartoons of the 30’s [not many cartoons are], Superman / Doomsday is an enjoyable tale brought to life by co-writer/co-director, Bruce Timm and a well chosen cast of actors including Adam Baldwin [Superman], Anne Heche [Lois Lane], James Marsters [Lex Luthor], Ray Wise [Perry White] and others.

The bonus features include behind the scenes with the voice actors, the animators, commentary tracks, as well as a sneak peak at The New Frontier [an upcoming animated feature based on Darwyn Cooke’s award-winning series — and I can’t wait to see it].

If you’re a Superman or comic book fan, my guess is that you’ll enjoy it. If you’re not a fan of either then you probably stopped reading this post long ago.

Take You Back…

The picture above was taken about 30 years ago when I was in high school. I’d never seen it until just a few minutes ago.

Last weekend when I was at OrlandoCon a guy who was getting a sketch from John Beatty said that his wife had gone to high school with Big John. I told him that I went to the same high school. Come to find out I knew his wife as well.

When she came by the con, we had a chance to talk a bit. We hadn’t seen each other since high school. She said that she had a picture of us taken at a pep rally and that she’d send it my way. Strange seeing it for the first time 30 years after the fact. Where do the years go?

Man, but it does take me back…
