Not sure what to think of the poster and trailer for 2037: Winter’s Dream. They have interested me enough to want to check out the movie, so I guess job done.
THE 40 ”JUMP THE SHARK” MOMENTS FROM 40 POPULAR CLASSIC TV SHOWS
ME-TV recently posted their choices for THE 40 ”JUMP THE SHARK” MOMENTS FROM 40 POPULAR CLASSIC TV SHOWS. Here are my three of my least favorite jump the shark moments (and my comments) from otherwise fun and/entertaining tv series…
-
The Andy Griffith Show – Deputy Warren Ferguson replaces Barney Fife in “The Bazaar.” (Andy without Barney just wasn’t the same. And sadly, Barney without Andy wasn’t either.)
-
Welcome Back, Kotter – “Southern Sweathog” Beau De LaBarre joins the crew as Kotter becomes Vice Principal and Vinnie gets his own apartment in “Don’t Come Up and See Me Sometime.” (Travolta was moving on to movies and a new hunk was needed.)
-
Miami Vice Sonny suddenly marries Sheena Easton’s Caitlin in “Like a Hurricane.” (The jump may have actually happened before this. In my opinion when the special guest stars became more important than the stories you could see the shark starting to warm up.)

Eliud Rivera’s Alternative “Blade 2” Poster!
I’m not a fan of Blade but think that Blade 2 is excellent. Eliud Rivera has created an alternative Blade 2 poster that would have made a worthy poster for the theatrical release.

Jeepers Creepers 3 Poster and Trailer
Here’s the Jeepers Creepers 3 poster and trailer. I liked the second film better than the original and am willing to give the third a shot.
RIP – Bobby Heenan
Bobby Heenan passed away today surrounded by his family. My guess is even if you’re not a fan of professional wrestling, you know of Bobby Heenan.
Bobby Heenan was a WWE Hall of Famer, but he transcended the sport. Of course when you’re considered to be the greatest manager of all time as well as the best color commentator to ever call a match your popularity shouldn’t be surprising.
Heenan spent over 40 years in the world of pro wrestling. He wasn’t your typical wrestler. He wasn’t gigantic. He wasn’t musclebound. He didn’t fly through the air [unless being thrown by Dick the Bruiser or some other good guy]. Bobby Heenan started out as manager “Pretty Boy” Bobby Heenan. He was a heel. As a little kid, Heenan was the first person to make me root for the “bad” guy.
Fans loved or hated him, but no one was neutral about Bobby Heenan. Sometimes Heenan would even get involved in matches [usually against his will]. He could “rassle” with anyone and make them look better. No one could work a crowd like “the Brain.” And Bobby Heenan was witty. His one-liners and off-the-cuff comments were at times more entertaining than the matches themselves.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bobby Heenan’s family, friends and fans.

Dan Panosian, Down-But-Not-Out Boxers and “Killing Me Softly”
Dan Panosian recently sat down (or perhaps he stood up) for an interview with Adventures in Poor Taste to talk about his new series Slots.
I’ve always enjoyed Panosian’s art and he’s a great guy so there’s that. In the interview I discovered that Dan’s a fan of the film Killing Them Softly. I thought I was the only one. So there’s another reason to like Dan. If you check out the interview, I’ll bet you’ll find a couple for yourself.
