Tuesday Tease: The Governator Trailer Released. That’s Right. He’s Back.
Posted by mistergroonk in Animation, Television on April 5, 2011
Official Synopsis
The storyline will feature the recently retired governor of California deciding to take on global villainy and disasters with the help of a team of teens. He’ll be living a double life with his heroics a secret even from his family.
What We Learned:
Larry King is the reverse of Dorian Gray. Arnold has a plethora of power armor to choose from. Toy companies must be slobbering at Stan Lee’s door right now. Arnold has two teenagers locked in his basement doing IT scut work. Arnold Schwarzenegger fighting robots is redundant.
Why We’ll Watch:
Put it simply. We’re not. Why on this fresh verdant Earth would we want to watch a re-hash of Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos or Mr T’s Adventures play out in front of us with another action celebrity from the 1980s finding a way to remain an action star in his advancing age? If this remained a three minute spoof, the humor would be priceless. Since this is a real project, we’re not laughing at all.
When’s it coming?
Who cares? (If you actually do, we hear 2012 is the release date.)

Stan Lee vs Comics Code Authority: How the Spider-Man Anti-Drug Story Almost Never Happened
Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, History, Interviews, Versus on September 1, 2010
We’ve heard the story a million times before.
Now, hear the story directly from Lee’s mouth.
Lee recalls how the Comics Code’s inflexibility stood in the way of a story that spoke to the contemporary issue of drug abuse in the ’70s, and how Marvel circumvented potential censorship on behalf of none other than the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare (now the Department of Health and Human Services). It’s a piece of comic book history many fans have read about, but this time it’s told straight from the storyteller who lived it.
