I got to feed a Goliath birdeater today. Fed it a fully grown mouse, I did.
This can be quite unnerving, if you're not used to it. I know that a lot of people would feel very squeamish about such things.

Earlier, I mentioned Lynda Carter. Well, this article talks about Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman. It says that it would be extremely difficult to find someone who can fill Lynda's high-heeled shoes.
I think that's absolutely true. I find it difficult to think of anyone else in that role.

The gal who played Nova on the old Star Blazers cartoon seems like she has an awful lot of pent-up hostility. I came across her guestbook, and I was shocked at what I read. Sounds like a classic case of overreacting.
Apparently, she tore into someone because he posted something about how hazardous it was for Nova to be the only female on the Argo. Maybe I'm being dense, but... What's so inappropriate about pointing that out? It sure didn't sound like a lewd comment to me; more like an observation.
An acquaintance of mine theorized that maybe she was victimized by some nasty fan fiction. Could be; after all, a lot of that stuff transcends the boundaries of good taste. Ultimately though, who knows?
Incidentally, if you meander over to her "rants" page, you'll see a lot more hostility and anger over there. I don't know what to make of it, frankly. I happen to agree with her on a lot of what she said, but she clearly expresses her viewpoint with undue sharpness and hostility. Criminy. Calm down, lady!

I recently read about how many people think it would be impossible to create a new live-action Wonder Woman movie or TV show. The problem is that Lynda Carter filled the role so darned well that it would be extremely difficult to fill her high-heeled shoes.
I think that Stacey Williams had just the right look, and the height to boot. She doesn't seem to be much of an actress though, and she has pretty much dropped out of the public eye.

Do you know what's better than Courteney Cox in Blue Desert? Courteney Cox in Cocoon: The Return. Darn, but she looks painfully good.

I've been following the DC Comics mystery mini-series, Identity Crisis, and discussing its with some guys on the DC message boards. I tell you, it's become clear that very few of them truly understand the basics of logic. It's positively mind-boggling.
Thankfully, there are a few that do, and they are like a breath of fresh air.
