Erik_Schubach   Posted: 2008-05-01 14:10:11   Updated: 2008-05-01 19:18:28 One of the comic book characters from my youth is hitting the silver screen tomorrow, Iron Man, and I have mixed feelings about it. I was never very fond of the character because Tony Stark always struck me as an arrogant rich guy who paid his way to becoming a hero. I loved it in the Marvel Comics Civil War series when he thought he could outsmart SpiderMan and proceeded to take a hell of a beating from the web slinger and got his teeth handed to him instead. But the movie trailer has actually caught my interest. The effects look great and the fact that they appear to keep Tony Stark and his arrogant nature intact make me think it will be worth a look. So cross your fingers and I will report back once I have viewed the movie. [ 1 Comment(s) - Login or Signup to Leave Comments ] Happy Days are here again! Erik_Schubach   Posted: 2008-03-30 22:54:20   Updated: 2008-03-31 19:35:59 I was just eight years old when the family sitcom, Happy Days, premiered on ABC in 1974. The show was centered around the Cunningham family and friends living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the 1950's. The Cunningham's live an idealized American family life befriended by the almost superhuman greaser, Fonzie who was the definition of the word "cool" with his trademark thumbs up. This show had a ten year run, coincidentally ending when I graduated from high school in 1984. So I can quite literally say that I grew up watching this wonderfully delightful comedy. The main hero of the show (and my life at the time) was Arthur Fonzarelli (played by Henry Winkler) affectionately known as the Fonz or Fonzie. I had the pleasure of actually meeting three of the actors from the show on March 30, 2008 at an antique auto show in Spokane Washington. They were Henry Winkler (Fonzie), Don Most (Ralph Malth) and Cindy Williams (Shirley Feeney, who I had a major schoolboy crush on). They were quite down to earth people and we talked for a short time and I got an autograph from Henry Winkler. So if you get a chance to pick up the Happy Days series on DVD, I can guarantee you will have a great time watching. [ Login or Signup to Leave Comments ] Star Trekkin' across the universe! Erik_Schubach   Posted: 2008-02-11 15:23:13   Updated: 2008-02-12 09:52:27 For all you Trekkies out there... a new Star Trek movie is slated for a 2008 release. Much of the storyline is shrouded in mystery but the general gist of it centers on the early days of James T. Kirk and his crew members. Now, I have been a fan of Star Trek since I watched TOS (The Original Series) re-runs back in the early 1970's, and have followed the Star Trek universe through it's ups and downs. The downs being Star Trek the Motion Picture, Star Trek Voyager and Star Trek Nemisis... the ups being TOS, Star Trek Wrath of Kahn and the masterpiece television series that was canceled prematurely... Star Trek Enterprise! So here is to hoping this new addition to the Star Trek legacy really shines!
