Time to dust off H.E.R.B.I.E.

I know. I'm just thinking more along the lines of Tiffani Amber Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkley, and a big vat of pudding. Special guest referee: Dustin Diamond.

The Gunslinger had a few lines. And yes, Yul had an accent but it wasn't a British accent.

In a way that's what the CCA started out as. The comics companies themselves came up with the idea as a way of fighting back against the hysteria caused by Seduction of the Innocent, etc.

I haven't bought any comics in years. Did the Blackest Night stuff get published without the CCA seal? If so that would help explain DC's decision to drop it from the rest of their books.

He comes across as too polished. One of the things I really liked about Richard Benjamin is that he just seemed kind of geeky and out of place in the Wild West setting.

On the Tarzan front, I'm probably being influenced by the fact that it was my introduction to the character and I grew up watching it on television but I've always been partial to the 1966 TV series starring Ron Ely. I think they did well updating the character to the then modern time period without making him the bad joke that so many later Tarzan movies and shows did. I wouldn't mind seeing something along those lines.

Considering that three Daxamites, who have the exact same powers as Kryptonians, completely wiped out all life on a planet where the entire population had the power to take out a Daxamite or Kryptonian in a matter of seconds, yeah, Superman doesn't begin to use his power to its full extent.

Or even Seth Rogen but knowing Hollywood, Will Ferrel is more likely.

I could see Will Smith in the Richard Benjamin role in Westworld.

Because if you were to design a robot to play the ultimate villain in someone's high priced Wild West fantasy vacation you'd be sure to give him a British accent.

The thing about Westworld and Futureworld is that Delos was designed around themes that had been big in the movies; the Wild West, the future, medieval and Roman times. I think a modern version of Delos would need to be updated and, aside from Futureworld, we'd see a completely different set of themes. Say Spyworld, Superworld, Romanceworld (doing double duty as Pornworld), and maybe Horrorworld.

Edit: Giving it a little thought, there's really only one choice to play the Gunslinger. He'd need a little CGI massaging to de-age him for the role but really the only actor to step into Yul Brynner's shoes is Clint Eastwood.

And not one mansquito that I saw.

Hmm...I see a shark but I don't see a frickin' shark with a frickin' laser beam on it's frickin' head...but apparently I'm a rock star so that's all right then.

That's just playing to Dushku's strengths. It's not like she's a great actress.

If you use porn magazines for your reference material, you wind up with porn poses. That's what makes it easy to spot that particular type of artist. And it's not like there aren't plenty of reference books available for artists interested in drawing the human figure without it looking like they were giving the model a gynecological exam.

Because the models in porn mags aren't exactly in what you'd call action poses. Well, I suppose you would call them action poses but not the kind of action you would expect to see in an average, family friendly comic book. For example, it's not often that you see Superman or Batman bent over, presenting his rear to the reader while coyly looking back over his shoulder at them. But you will see superheroines in that position because the artist copied the pose from whatever magazine he was using as a reference.
