The Waterbury Republican-American is a local newspaper here in. They have a listing of this year’s Christmas specials and episodes. They may not have every channel, but here at least is the start of your list. If you still watch TV. I don’t know why some of them are in bold, but it’s nice to see new specials.
Fury Of Firestorm #58
DC Comics (April, 1987)
“Gambit” WRITER: John Ostrander PENCILER: Joe Brozowski INKER: Pablo Marcos COLORIST: Nansi Hoolahan LETTERER: Gaspar no editor creditedFinding time to come up with ideas for the comic hasn’t been easy lately. When I came up with this I realized I didn’t have a “Christmas version” of this set or the banner. These are things I need to fix next year.
The Clutter Report this week has me looking at the trade collection of the first six issues of Hamilton’s Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers comic. This week we’ll be getting into the Marvel run starting with the movie adaptation. And now, for the last time until I get income……

Hopefully I either find a job or a lot of video viewers, patrons, Paypalers (Paypals?) and/or clutter buyers. At the very least, I’ll be doing my annual Christmas help request, although since I’m still trying to get my regular Twitter account back in action (you may see an alt account in the Twitter feed in the sidebar) which means all of those potential “Santa’s helpers” who can’t help this year’s Christmas Spotlight because they don’t know about it. Nothing’s ever easy, is it kids?
Video game enthusiasts refer to ET as the worst game ever made, but there are plenty of games made since that are easily worse. Which begs the question, is Manos: The Hands Of Fate still the reigning king of bad movies since it came out in 1966? Surely we’ve failed harder since then.
Thursday the people behind Mystery Science Theater 3000 had their annual Thanksgiving marathon, a resuming of something they did on Comedy Central. It also showed off their new official YouTube page. Produced by current video distributor Shout Factory, there are clips of some of the more popular skits and riffs from MST3K history as well as annotated full-length episodes. No more dealing with people uploading them illegally because if it’s public domain it will show up there, with explanations of some of the riffs you may not have gotten the reference for. It is through this that I finally saw the movie everyone loves to hate, still challenging Tommy Wiseau’s The Room for a riffing favorite. So let’s see if this is still the king of bad movies, or if time has dethroned…Manos: The Hands Of Fate fate fate fate fate…….

Today the new teaser (not a full trailer) for the first Star Wars movie with no input from George Lucas, The Force Awakens, dropped onto the internet. It’s just a teaser but there is so much riding on this. Will J.J. Abrams makes fans want Lucas back or will this be the movie that “saves” the franchise, at the cost of the Expanded Universe?
So why shouldn’t I join the party? Let’s watch the trailer teaser and see how well it teases.
