"Superman II: Redo"


Check this out. It is cool that the film is being redited. However, considering the fact that some important scenes that the original director Richard Donner planned were never shot I figured there would be issues. Anyway for fans of the series like me, it will be big deal.

Superman IV is still rumored to have the long sought missing scenes in a special features section. I would love to see that, and I am sure someone will edit all together and put it online some place. I honestly think that it will only have the scenes from the syndication verision which were just about 1.5 mins of bad effects footage. I would love to see lost scenes with HAckman and Reeve though. It could also maybe have a new Superman battle scene.

I really want to buy these movies, but than I will have two sets of the Superman movies. Maybe I will rent it first to see if its worth it. I don't expect much to be done with the first one (they did a ton the first release) or Superman III.

"In Search Of The Jersey Devil"

ACTION NEWS's Matt O'donnell went out recently to search for the legend of the jersey devil.
If you follow the link I will provide for you, you will be able to check out the story in two parts. Some of it wasn't even aired on channel 6 (you can tell its a rough cut of a news story), so hopefully your work lets you watch videos, unlike mine.

Anyway the first part is Matt searching for the birthplace of the Jersey Devil. The 2nd part is Matt basically saying what he thinks the whole Devil thing is about.

I don't agree with his theory. Although I don't think there was an actual devil, and I do think the time in the early 1900's when a ton of sightings were taking South Jersey by storm something was there. Just not what Matt thinks it was. But certainly in that day and age people would not have just all made up stuff to get on tv, so something most have been in the area during that time.

There are other links with the story including an official Jersey Devil Hunters site. I havent had time to check all of them out.

What does everyone think of the Jersey Devil?

" I Was Working In The Lab Late One Night..."

I was working in the lab late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight. For my monster from his slab began to rise; And suddenly to my surprise He did the mash. He did the monster mash The monster mash!

It was a graveyard smash! He did the mash. It caught on in a flash! He did the mash. He did the monster mash.

From my laboratory in the castle east. To the master bedroom where the vampires feast .The ghouls all came from their humble abodes .To get a jolt from my electrodes.

They did the mash. They did the monster mash .The monster mash! It was a graveyard smash! They did the mash!It caught on in a flash!They did the mash.

They did the monster mash. The zombies were having fun. The party had just begun. The guests included Wolf Man Dracula and his son. The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds. Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds .The coffin-bangers were about to arrive With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"

They played the mash!They played the monster mash. The monster mash. It was a graveyard smash! They played the mash. It caught on in a flash! They played the mash! They played the monster mash!

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring Seems he was troubled by just one thing

He opened the lid and shook his fist And said,

"Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"

It's now the mash It's now the monster mash! The monster mash! And it's a graveyard smash! It's now the mash! It's caught on in a flash !It's now the mash! It's now the monster mash! Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band And my monster mash is the hit of the land!

For you, the living, this mash was meant too. When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you Then you can mash! Then you can monster mash!The monster mash! And do my graveyard smash! Then you can mash You'll catch on in a flash Then you can mash Then you can monster mash

"Fans Speak Out"

During the Flyers game last not when they got blown out by the Penguins the fans voiced how unhappy they were with John Stevens already. In fact they were actually asking for a new coach by name. Clearly they think Pat Burns can step in and turn things around. I could clearly hear during the broadcast the fans all chanting Booo-urns....Boo---urns.....
