My Top 6 Favorite Pop Culture Cars
So my car – a gray 2005 Chrysler Sebring I’ve nicknamed ‘Donkey’ – is in the shop this week for a blown thermostat thingamajig. Depending on when this List gets published, the thingamawhatsis was fixed and my car is back on the road, or I’ve totally had to junk the thing and will soon be buying a new car. Fingers crossed for the first thing.
In honor of my car, which is the first car I’ve ever owned, I’ve decided to throw together a list of my favorite motor vehicles in pop culture. Because all the best characters have badass wheels. As Robin once said in a movie that should never, ever be quoted, “Chicks dig the car.”
Did you know Robin had a car? It was named ‘Redbird’
This list is only going to include motor vehicles like cars, trucks and vans. So no spaceships, no boats and no TARDIS. Perhaps they’ll get their own list some day. And I hope you guys share with me some of your favorite cars from pop culture! I’m sure I’ve missed a few really awesome ones.
6 Things I Want From a Justice League Movie
There will be a live action Justice League movie in my lifetime – but I don’t expect it to happen anytime soon. The news last week that Hollywood scribe Will Beall had been hired to write a Justice League script means about as much to me as Will Beall being hired to write a new script for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It means nothing! Scripts are being written in Hollywood all the time, especially for superhero movies. And they routinely go nowhere. So until Warner Bros. actually begins real, physical production on a Justice League movie, I’m not going to care about the insider gossip.
Though I am going to speculate about what I’d like to see in a live action Justice League movie!
They’ll be in their trailers
What characters should appear? Who should they fight? Should it try to tie in any of the previous Batman or Superman films? These are burning questions in a fertile geek mind like my own. Now, there’s no way in the flaming halls of Hell that I’d ever be hired to pen a Justice League script, but I’m still a pretty awesome and creative guy. Plus I saw The Avengers twice in theaters, so I think I know a little something about superhero team movies. And here are 6 things I would like to see in a live action Justice League movie!
6 Popular Superheroes That Do Nothing For Me
If I ever become a professional comic book writer, my dream project would be Robin, the Boy Wonder. Not Batman, not Teen Titans, but simply Robin. I am probably the biggest Robin fan you’re ever likely to meet, which might seem weird to some, considering Robin is one of the most maligned and disliked comic book characters of all time! But that’s simply the way I role. When it comes to comic book characters, I tend to like the more obscure, secondary characters. You can even check out my list of my 6 favorite comic book characters and see what I mean.
Though I actively hate dogs in stupid clothes
But I got to thinking and realized that there aren’t many comic book characters that I actively hate. Not even Damian Wayne. However, there are a lot of comic book characters, especially some classic, all-time greats, who I simply don’t care about. Weird, right? I love obscure, secondary characters, but don’t care for hugely popular iconic characters. I can’t tell if that makes me more or less of a total geek. But I look at some of these amazing characters and the most I can muster is a shrug and a “meh”. No thanks, not for me. Here are 6 popular comic book characters that I just don’t care about, one way or another.
The Top 6 Soldier Superheroes
While researching this article, I came upon a very popular slogan: “Who needs superheroes, my dad is a Marine”. Talk about summing it up nicely. Is there anyone more superheroic in our real world than the men and women of the armed services, who push themselves to the limit and sacrifice everything in the name of protecting the innocent and fighting bad guys? They wear awesome uniforms, sometimes get cool code names and they have powers and abilities far surpassing the average person.
Every soldier can be a superhero.
“Wonder Twin powers, activate!”
So it makes perfect sense to turn soldiers into superheroes in the world of comic books. Who better to take a stand and fight evil on a superhuman level than the men and women who’ve already dedicated their lives to that cause? Sometimes superheroes are nerdy science geeks like Spider-Man, or rich playboys like Batman. And sometimes they are the ass-kicking, freedom-saving men and women of the armed services.
In honor of Memorial Day, here are 6 people who don’t need the colorful costumes or super-powers – but it helps.
My 6 Favorite Characters from Lost
I’ve wanted to write something about the television show Lost for awhile now, but considering it’s been more than two years since the show went off the air, there haven’t been many opportunities. But I absolutely loved Lost, and would willingly argue it as the best television show of all time. If not one of the best fictional narratives of all time. Lost was pretty damn awesome, is what I’m trying to say. I loved almost every minute of that show, even the episodes that sucked like the one about Jack’s tattoos. And I don’t care what the rest of the world says, I absolutely adored the finale. It was amazing from start to finish, and a perfect conclusion to the show.
It’s safe to say that I am definitely a Lost fanboy. A buddy of mine from work and I would hang out and just talk about our different theories for the show, and clearly we were not alone. Everybody was talking about Lost, and rightly so. The mysteries of that island were just fantastic.
Great idea for a parody title: “Found”. What do you think?
A good idea would have been to list my favorite episodes, but that would require rewatching the entire series from start to finish, and I haven’t gotten around to doing that yet. I’ll watch it again one of these days, and it will be epic. So until then, I’ve decided to list my 6 favorite Lost characters. It’ll give me a chance to talk about some of my favorite parts of the show. Plus it’ll hopefully be another chance for my readers to share some of their favorite Lost memories and characters. This was a science fiction show of epic proportions, so I hope some of you were fans as well. Let’s get to the list, shall we?
WARNING!! There will be SPOILERS for Lost in this list. So don’t read if you don’t want to be spoiled for a long cancelled TV show.
