Holy Forever Stamp Batman!

ON my other blogs (CaptKirk42 and Curly W Cards) I have or will blog soon about this purchase with the details of the cards 2 football and 1 baseball. but here I will show a little bit more the envelope that they came in:

Yes that is a BATMAN FOREVER stamp.

Super Bowl 46

CONGRATULATIONS New York Giants!

SUPER BOWL XLVI (46) was an exciting game to watch, especially the final 5 minutes or so. The game was kept close through out. The game could have gone either way and both teams missed some scoring opportunities and dropped passes that would have been huge plays that would have led to a score.

As for the commercials. I think one of the best was the second Coca-Cola Polar Bears, where the one goes out of the cave to get a coke and has to run past and play football against the other bears on the frozen pond. The Matthew Broderick Honda commercial was OK for a nostalgic trip down Hollywood's Memory Lane but wasn't THAT exciting and didn't need the extra attention it got pre-game during the week. The sexy Fiat commercial was also pretty good, where the geeky guy with a cup of coffee sees a hot babe that turns out he's looking at the car and fantasizing about the babe. There were a few others that were pretty good, but those I think were the highlights.

UPDATE: I can't believe I forgot to mention these two cool commercials:  The Elton John Pepsi commercial with him as King (or was it Queen?) where a girl sings R-E-S-P-E-C-T and asks for Pepsi for all and sends Elton into his Dungeon (as he had a previous character) and sitting in the cell is Flavor Flav. And one of the coolest M&Ms commercials with the candy characters they have ever had. A Brown shelled female M&M says that she hates when idiots think she is out of her shell, then the Red M&M guy sees her and says "Oh it's one of THESE Parties" and he rips off his shell.

DVD Update - January 2012

JANUARY 2012 - DVD UPDATE

For January it looks like I just have two DVDs and I didn't spend a single dime on them. I got them from a "yankee" gift exchange party.

Leatherheads (2008)

I've only seen bits and pieces of this movie. It is one of those dramatic "feel good" sports movies where a group of ragtag players end up beating the odds and making history. I'm not sure if this is based on a specific historical events or just based on the early days of football in general.

Time Bandits (1981)

 This is a comedy/adventure classic from the demented directing of Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame. I forget how many times I've seen this film the basic story is about a 10 year old boy who gets mixed up with a band of time traveling thieving dwarfs who have stolen a cosmic map from the Supreme Being (aka: God) to collect historical wealth.

The End of October!

It's the end the end of October it's the end the end of a so-so month. Man I can't believe that the Red Sox sweapt up the Rockies so easily. They did to them what the Patriots did to my Redskins and what high school teams could do to my belove-ed Rams this year. It's also hard to believe that October has come and gone so fast. Well I haven't gotten much sleep lately because I am in tech week for Little Shop of Horrors with KAT (http://katonline.org) well got to go now. See you sometime in November same Bat-Time same Bat-Channel, or at least same Bat-Blogsite!

Stupid Bowl

Ah The Stupid Bowl : For the last few years, if one of my favorite teams (Washington Redskins, Los Angeles ney St. Louis Rams, Carolina Panthers, Seatle Seahawks or maybe even the Baltimore Ravens) didn't make it to the Super Bowl, I would be dissappointed and concentrate on what the silly $2,000,000,000 (Two Billion Dollars) or whatever the price commercials were shown (I do that anyway). Usually it just boils down to the Budwieser Commercials with the Clydesdales, the FedEx commercials and the occasional Coke commercials with the polar bears or maybe a cool Pepsi ad. Oh the game? Well sometimes they are exciting, like last years Steelers and who did they play? Oh yeah it was the Seahawks, bummer. That is one of the problems I usually am so disinterested in the game that I just barely remember who the current Stupid Bowl Champs are and totally forget who they creamed. This year (#41) The Sneaky Leave Baltimore in the middle of the night Colts beat Da Bears! What was it 29 to 17? The first half was pretty exciting but the second half was kind of boring. That is the way many of the last 10 games have been, could it be because the AFC has won something like the last 8 or 9 of the last 10? Or just because the whole thing has become a media circus and the game of Football has taken a back seat?Did I mention I was sick of hearing about Dungy, Payton Manning and the Colts even before the Stupid Bowl?
