A RANKIN/BASS' MAD MONSTER PARTY? Fall is coming!

You may have heard about McDONALD'S low customer satisfaction rating in the NEWS this week...I think it was 78%

.....well, they have nothing on this place....where the customer always comes last.  I have been writing about my experience in all of the local newspapers and will continue to spread the word.

HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY PAUL McCARTNEY!

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN rant

I have always loved the character of SPIDER-MAN!  Love the original comic books by STEVE DITKO, STAN LEE, JOHN ROMITA, SR., etc.   Love the GRANTRAY-LAWRENCE cartoons!  I thought the SAM RAMI movie series was perfectly cast..AUNT MAY, J. JONAH JAMESON, etc.

Just watched the NEW trailers for the film that is called a "Reboot."  HARRY POTTER MEETS SPIDER-MAN MEETS JURASSIC PARK!  A smart-assed SPIDER-MAN with lines like "Do I really look like a cop to you?"  I thought trailers were supposed to excite you and make you want to see a film...this one made me nauseated.

My son and I were looking forward to seeing the LIZARD in a Sam Rami film...oh well.   WALLOPIN' WEB SNAPPERS!
