Randomness...

The 4400 (TV): Most definitely the best show you are not watching. I missed the first season/mini series when it first aired, although I remember seeing it advertised. On a whim, I picked up the DVD. It was fun and interesting! So I started DVRing the second season. It just kept getting better and better. The season finale rocked! I don't know when the third season starts...but it's too far away for my taste. Check it out!
Justice League Unlimited (TV): Thank goodness there's another season coming up (starting Sept. 17!)!! This past season just tore it up! Unfortunately, the season finale (Justice League who? This is Batman Beyond) was lame. I guess great for BB fans, but after the previous episode (which was all kinds of goodness) the "finale" was *pffft*. A really sour note to go out on...but they're not going out! And the Legion of Super Heroes make an appearance this season!! Check it out and especially here and here!
Crazy Frog presents Crazy Hits (CD): So one day, by chance, I hear "Axel F" on the radio. And for absolutely no reason that I can discern...I am head over heels in love with this song. It tears me up one side and down the other. I'm unreasonably obsessed with it!! I even want to get a new cell phone that plays real music, so my phone can ring "Axel F!" What the hell is wrong with me!!?
So anyway, I go to CDWow to buy the CD (based in the UK, but really about like buying a CD in a US store pricewise, and you get all the extra tracks that the lame US record labels leave out, grrrr). I'm so excited to get it with (I'm thinking) amped up versions of "Dallas" and "The Pink Panther." It arrives, I rip it open, throw it into the computer....
I wish I'd bought the remix single for "Axel F" instead.
As insanely supreme as the "Axel F" song is, is just about how extremely uninteresting the rest of the entire CD is. I was kinda bummed. Check it out!!!!!
DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy (Comics): There was nothing DC Comics could do to hype me up more for this than just announcing the title of the book. I was so down when they "killed-off" Donna a couple years ago. More so because it was such a lame-ass death thAn just the fact that they killed her. If she'd gotten a decent/heroic send off like Supergirl did in Crisis 20 years ago, I probably woulda handled it better.
Anyway, the first issue came out and I was all kinds of excited. Except for the coloring (which left more than a lot to be desired), it was an okay start to a story. Mostly set up and exposition with a not-very grab-ya-by-the-balls "cliffhanger" ending (the story just kinda stopped). But, it was Donna Troy and that was enough for me.
Then the second issue came out. O.M.G. The art and coloring were lush and beautiful. The Titans characters were all spot on. The new Wonder Girl never looked so pretty. It was just gorgeous to look at.
The third issue didn't do a whole lot for me. It was all right. But the art didn't seem at "tight" as it did in the second issue. I just want the fourth issue to come out, so I can sit and read the story in one swoop. And then Donna will be back full force in the DC Universe!! Check it out!

DING DING!
