Dance in India. With Superman.
I hope you are as fascinated by modern Asian popculture as I am these days. I’ve seen the modern Indian superhero-movie Krrish recently and I liked it.
Bollywood has outgrown cheesy and camp ripoffs of Western movies for a long time now but this is exactly where Krrish was nurtured. (Yes, action scenes and CG-FX are not state of the art in ‘Krrish’ – but who cares for those. I like singing and dancing in a superhero movie! A polka-dancing Hugh Jackman would have changed ‘Wolverine’ into a modern classic.)
So enjoy the movie-clip above and dance merrily with the Indian superman and… …Spiderwoman?
After that you may even buy Krrish here

This is one of the many pilots that never aired. “Gay Robot” was based on a comedy bit on an album by Adam Sandler and was made into a pilot in 2005. Nick Swardson (Writer of the pilot and the voice of Gay Robot) statet that a cartoon version is in the works, but nothing happened yet, so I guess this version is cancelled too.
Here’s the full pilot (borrowed from Gay Robot’s MySpace page...)
TV Fathers Suck!
Recently I found out that “The Flintstones” is still running on the same spot at the same time as it did 20 years ago. Fascinated by the fact that this rough drawn, badly animated show still is understood by the audience. And I realized that “The Simpsons” is just a modern version of “The Flintstones”. Homer and Fred could be brothers.
And Ralph Kramden (The Honeymooners), Al Bundy (Married With Children), Dan Connor (Roseanne) and Tim Taylor (Home Improvement) are part of that gene pool too. Why are fathers in comedy shows always lazy, big-mouthed, unadept, mendacious and dim-witted? What about a little variety?
I’m not saying there aren’t comedies with different scenarios – but when family life is the focus of the show the secret of success is a blundering dad. Since 50 years!
