The midnight “Yesterday’s” Comic review mentioned how anti-climatic Ultraman’s fight with the evil counterpart and arch enemy Gudis was. I thought I’d take advantage of this week’s Friday Night Fight to show you just how lame it was. Remember, this is the guy Ultraman fought time and again in Towards The Future and in the Harvey adaptations. Plus you have an evil Ultraman. That must stand for something, right? Well, nobody was standing after this one, but not in the awesome exhaustive finish way.
Some of your favorite songs aren’t written by the singer, but did you know the BeeGees wrote a country song? Or that Neil Diamond wrote for UB40? Cracked contributor Mike Floorwalker found 6 such revelations.
And you thought only Superman had to put up with this?

There have been at least two intros, including this one, that I know of, but this is the one that was on while I was watching. to be honest I was already too old for the books on the show but I liked seeing the kids doing the reviews, the readings by celebrities, and seeing where LeVar Burton would be hosting from that day.
Here at BW Media Spotlight, reading and promoting reading of stories gets a huge thumbs up. Reading Rainbow left the air in 2006. Now it’s hard for me to believe that kids are more illiterate considering how many of them use Twitter, blogs, text messaging, and ebooks but there’s something to be said for good old fashioned books. Reading Rainbow showed that books were great for reading and all you need is a light source to read by. Recently Burton bought the name and started an app, but that wasn’t enough.
So yesterday he launched a Kickstarter to bring the TV series back in the old format, but on the internet. (I would also think looking to get it on a kids network would be a good idea.) I was going to try and help push it today…but it already blew past the goal. Now they’re going for stretch goals so I still want to promote it.

Adam Sessler was the big reason I watched X-Play and it’s a shame what happened to him at G4. However, he managed to keep going. In this article written for Kotaku, “The Sess” goes over the video games that hold a strong meaning to him for the memories it gives him, both good and bad.
