The REAL Superman Returns...
The Buzz is BIG for James Gunn's new Superman movie...
....comparing it favorably to the two Richard Donner Superman films starring Christopher Reeve, returning the character to the wholesome embodiment of, well, "Truth, Justice, and the American Way"!
And in these cynical times, we certainly need that!
Bring that guy back!
I'm looking forward to it!
Here's a, dare I say, SuperCut of the best of the numerous trailers...
Go See It!

Space Heroine Saturdays BARBARELLA 3.2
Barbarella met a number of inhabitants of the labyrinth surrounding Lythion's capital city, Sogo, including Pygar the blind angel, and Earth scientist Durand.
With their help, Barbarella defeated the LeatherMen and is now en-route to the city itself.
While many elements were adapted into the feature film with minimal alteration, there's one startling difference...Durand, the main villain of the movie, is a good guy in the original comic strip!
More Barbarella soon.

Space Hero Saturdays STAR TREK Did You Know the Very First Captain of the USS Enterprise...
...was Jesus Christ?
Jeffrey Hunter as Jesus Christ in King of Kings (1961)
Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Christopher Pike with Leonard Nimoy as Mr Spock in Star Trek "The Cage" (1964)
Here's"six degrees of separation" trivia in only five degrees:
- John Huston, who later did a prequel movie, The Bible: In the Beginning, directed Moby Dick, using a screenplay adapted by legendary science fiction author Ray Bradbury from the Herman Melville novel.
- Ray Bradbury wrote the scripts for the voiceovers in King of Kings spoken by Orson Welles.
- Welles' The Shadow and Mercury Theatre radio series co-star Agnes Moorehead served as dialogue coach to Jeffrey Hunter (Jesus Christ) in King of Kings.
- Jeffrey Hunter later played Christopher Pike, the first captain of the Starship Enterprise in the pilot episode of Star Trek, "The Cage".
- Star Trek did an episode, "Bread and Circuses", about a planet where parallel evolution produced a society that resembled a 20th Century version of the Roman Empire, complete with it's own "Christians" and a Jesus Christ (who doesn't appear on-camera, but is mentioned in dialogue)!
How's that for an "Easter Egg"?

Space Heroine Saturdays BARBARELLA 3.1
It's been a while since we last looked in on Barbarella...
...and you're about to encounter more plot elements and characters you saw in the 1960s movie, but in somewhat different form...

Space Heroine Saturday BARBARELLA 2.2
With Captain Dildano and the rest of his crew dead, and their ship a derelict, Barbarella is stranded on Lython...
There are more plot elements and characters who ended up in the movie, though at the flick's beginning, rather than midway through the story, as they do here.
Some characters like "Klill, the horrid little Martian", didn't appear in the film.
The explanation of why the inhabitants are dressed in mid-19th Century Earth fashions was utilized a year later in the Classic Star Trek episode "Squire of Gothos".
At any rate, the "antique-looking" clothing and technology didn't make it into the movie's version of this sequence!

Space Heroine Saturdays BARBARELLA 2.1
All you really need to know is that Captain Dildano's spacecraft was forced down by a gigantic jellyfish...ok, plot logic is not the strip's strong suit.
Just enjoy the kool art...
Dildano also dies in the movie, but under vastly different circumstances.
In fact, this particular sequence is not adapted into the 1960s cult classic flick!
More in the near future!
