Capes-n-Babes

For some reason, in the bizarre universe of my brain, I just picture Reb Brown and Matt Salinger sharing a “misery drink” in a dark, secluded bar somewhere come July 22nd.

Maybe that’s just me though.

Of course, you’re reading a blog from a guy who vividly remembers two very distinct and crushing disappointments as a kid… the first was watching in great anticipation (and later, much regret) the KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park TV Movie and then the second was Reb Brown’s Captain America incarnation where he looked NOTHING LIKE CAPTAIN AMERICA and his shield was this fiberglass plastic thing that actually WOBBLED when he threw it and, worse still, MADE ACTUAL WOBBLE-WOBBLE-WOBBLE-WOBBLE sounds!!!

But that would soon be topped by an even more ridiculous MOVIE version of Captain America where Matt Salinger infamously wore fake ears as part of his costume and the GERMAN Red Skull somehow (and for some unknown reason) had AN ITALIAN ACCENT.

Ahhhhh… Marvel, you guys have come a LONG WAY, baby!

And if I haven’t mentioned it yet… I can’t wait until July 22!
