By George ! Crisis on Infinite Earths - part 3

As always on this blog we can´t have two Marvel Comics posts in a row so to break up X - MEN MONTH we return to the mother of all crossovers.


Man, I have no idea what the sprock is going on with blogger. I started this post Yesterday but after I had posted the cover I suddenly couldn´t upload any more pictures. Since I don´t like to dwell on the negative I used the opportunity to go over the posts I have written so far and replace any videos that have been deleted in the meantime - as it so often happens - and changed some GIFs where I have made a bigger and better upgraded versions. So if you want to check out the old posts you are good until February around the time I did my Sal Busema ROM SPACEKNIGHT post .


I also made some animated GIFs with baywatchable blond beachbody Donna D´Errico who is featured heavily in my X - MEN WEEK WITH GREG CAPULLO post. Anyway, it seems that uploading pictures with blogger works again so I will try to get this post in the can as quickly and with as little problems as possible. For those who have missed part 1 and part 2 of this series these posts are neither meant to be an in - depth analysis nor will I be posting full issues ( except for one or two but you can probably guess which ones ). This is more original art by George Perez plus some other pages I found while doing the research for this. Now let´s continue with the story in progress and in this post we will cover issues 4 and 5.


Before we come to the bonus section there are a few links I have to for the crisis tapes from COMIC GEEK SPEAK. I already included all  the links for the podcasts to the first three issues in my last crisis post but because I don´t like to get ahead of myself ( those who can´t wait surely can find these episodes on the website without problem ) I haven´t posted any other episodes. So without any further ado here are the links for issue 4 part 1 / issue 4 part 2 / issue 5 part 1 ( three hours just about the cover ) / issue 5 part 2 / issue 5 part 3 and last but not least issue 5 part 4 . Enjoy.



It´s seems that I can´t make a post without the obligatory celebrity birthday although with all the stuff that is going on right now it´s no wonder that I blanked on Cyd Charisse´s anniversary on March the 8th.


Even though I just mentioned her in my last post in connection with the wardrobe malfunction prone queen of explicit nude scenes, french ( in every sense of the word ) blow up sex doll Sophie " Tits Out " Marceau.


Longtime readers might recognize her from my very first post of CASTING THE JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE where I cast Sophie as Catherine Cobert.


The french sexbomb is best known in the US for appearing in the Bond flick THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, and outside for taking her clothes of in such classics like MES NUITS SONT PLUS BELLES QUE VOS JOURS ( my nights are more beautiful than your days ) or DESCENT AUX ENFERS ( Descent into hell ) - where she appeared in nude scenes with Claude Brasseur who played her father in the romantic hit comedies LA BOUM and LA BOUM 2 which caused all kind of outrage at this perceived incest.


Her first nude scene was in HAPPY EASTER with Jean Paul Belmondo which I have to confess to have lying somewhere and still haven´t watched. She was 18 at the time she made the movie and paid the movie studio Gaumont money to get out of her contract to be able to do nude scenes.


What a trooper. In the movie she´s Jean Paul´s lover but when his wife returns a bit early from her vacation she says she´s his daughter from his ex. Sophie also starred in the horror movie NE TE RETOURNE PAS ( don´t turn around ) opposite Monica Bellucci which is like a dream sandwich.


I always do the super hero casting bit and with her giant - sized melons the mega stacked italian sex goddess would really be a natural choice for the amazonian princess of Themyscaria. She definitely would have no problem filling out the Wonder corsage with her 37C Wonder Twins .


I put her in the finale of the Hollywood Edition of Casting The JLA Movie series as Wonder Woman but now I´m tending more towards Big Barda.


In the original FOURTH WORLD comics by Jack Kirby - and this definitely changed in the NEW 52 - Big Barda was built like a brick shithouse with the personality of a lady trucker, the muscles of a female bodybuilder, the hot measurements of a playmate of the year and the cupsize of a porn star.


She got that from her mother Big Breeda, the fiercest female warrior on Apokolips who - nomen est omen - was therefore selected by Darkseid himself to breed the next race of warriors. I don´t know if it was because she spurned his advances or if he just thought she would produce the best offspring but it is implied that they used her like a blow up sex doll !


All for the next generation of Akopolips´ finest of course. Now with Big Barda the melons didn´t fall far from the tree and when she began to develop, especially in certain parts of her anatomy that had to do with procreation Darkseid decided to let her follow in her mother´s footsteps and - like mother like daughter - personally introduce Big Barda to the breeding pens to continue the family tradition. So as soon as she got wind of Darkseid´s perverted plans for her Big Barda decided to ditch Apokolips and hitched the next ride to Earth. According to Big Barda she managed to do that before Darkseid had a chance to break her in but maybe she was so eager to join Mister Miracle because she had tasted the Darkseed.


For more on DC´s creepy sex stories with Big Barda - like the time when Superman starred in a porn movie with her and then claimed he could not remember a thing - check out BIG BARDA : DEATH, LIES AND VIDEOTAPES .


Originally I cast Maria Grazia Cucinotta, the italian mega MILF with the giant 39D ( !!! ) melons as Big Barda but keeping in mind her history I may cast her as Big Breeda. Not only to get Maria to do nude scenes that way but also because then I could cast Monica Bellucci as Big Barda and give the Wonder Woman role to british 90s porn superstar Sarah Louise Young .


Yep, she was a big star over here in Germany when I was old enough to rent porn videos. That shows you what an old geezer ( and old pervert ) I am. Also, she was the first one who made porn videos for a price that horny teenagers like me could afford. I mean, new tapes. Because back in those days you could buy used porn videos at the video store but those were watched hundreds of times and only seconds away from combustion.


Not only was Sarah Louise Young the first porn actress to agree a fee of $1,000,000 for a single film, in 1992 she also opened her first sex shop in Hannover, named Sarah Young Erotic Markt, and there would eventually be eleven such shops located in various German cities. I think there might have been one in Stuttgart but with all the movies she starred in and the ones she produced Sarah Young was very present in german video stores and sex shops around the time I was old enough to watch her movies. By the time she lived in Spain she also had one of the first adult magazines that were sold together with a videotape. Which in Spain were sold at newsstands next to comics or newspapers. Yes, some countries do not hide their porn under the table like it´s something to be ashamed of.


Coming back to Sophie Marceau, not only does she drop her clothes very often she also shows great cleavage like in THE MUSKETEERS REVENGE ( or The daughter of D´Artagnan like it´s called in Germany ) that has one of my favorite scenes with her. D´Artagnan´s daughter ( Sophie Marceau ) is captured by the villain of the movie to be sold off to a brothel, but only " to the sleaziest one where they waste the whores very quick " as she says. The guy who has to sell her bitches starts complaining that at the price he has to get for her he´ll never get rid of her. At which point the bad woman tells him that in this case he should be glad, ripping open Sophie´s shirt and revealing her gorgeous breasts which shuts him up.


I still have not bought THE MUSKETEER`S REVENGE because for some reason it´s only available on DVD in Germany and priced very high. One might think it could be because of the nude scene but most of Sophie´s movies include some and the majority of them are not very expensive.


Writing this section is always a nice reminder of things that I planned to do and still have not been able to do and I really should get some of her movies. There is always so much to do that some things are put on the backburner for too long. One of these days I should get LA BOUM and the sequel to re - watch, once for the nostalgia but also because it has been really a long time since I first saw them and I don´t remember much of it.

I was probably too young to appreciate Sophie´s emerging teenage sexual appeal or more concerned about comics and I had completely forgotten her astonishing impression of Cyd Charisse from Singing In The Rain.


Since I already posted Cyd Charisse and Gene Kelly´s famous dance number from Singing In The Rain here is something from the film The Bandwagon.


The story is called The Girl Hunt and Cyd Charisse teams up with Fred Astaire a.k.a. Frederick austerlitz. I may have posted this - or part of it - before but I have no idea where and this version is of much better quality.



I thought about writing more about Cyd Charisse but the reason why I included this part was so I can do the part about Monica Bellucci and Big Barda longer. So instead I decided to give Cyd her own cult siren entry


Since we are on the subject of those classic Technicolor movies, here is a video that I have bookmarked a long time ago which I finally get to post.



Speaking of coloring, I have written about this topic many times but there is an unfortunate trend lately to color old comicbooks that are reprinted with computer coloring and to ignore the original color artist´s input. I have nothing against touching up an old comic and fix some of the errors but for me the main purpose of the coloring is enrich the art and help tell the story. So when it overpowers the art instead for me it has failed.



We have a callback to my first post with the DC Comics Hostess Fruit Pie ads in which I posted this very gifted brabuster from spanish game show Un, Dos, Tres, A Leer Otra Vez. Back then I had no info but now I know that her name is Ruth Arteaga thanks to this post on the eroticism of Un, Dos, Tres - which apparently is the second part. I don´t know if there is anybody besides me who is interested in this kind of stuff but those who are and read the spanish language should also check out part 1 and part 3 .


Staying with real life Power Girls, initially I didn´t want to make an animated GIF for Chanel Renee Jansen because it takes so much time but the way she shoves her huge melons in your face left me no other choice.


Daimn, her dress doesn´t leave much to the imagination to begin with but Chanel makes sure we get a good eyeful and her giant - sized XXL double airbags almost fall out. These puppies were made to pump boners dry !



As usual I tried to find out Chanel´s measurements and to my big surprise she is not a porn star but an Instagram model. Apparently she used to be overweight before she started exercising on a regular basis which might explain why she overcompensates by putting her body on full display.



Apropos, Today´s cartoon video is from the series Agent 327 which I read because of special agent Olga Lawina who reminds me of a certain super heroine at DC Comics. Here in Germany the albums are published little by little and so far I have only three. By the way, is it only me or is there a difference in the german cover for Van Gogh´s Ear and the original cover ?


Sadly Olga does not appear in the short film Agent 327 : Operation Barbershop and as far as I know this is the only animated version of it.



One of the many things I have neglected for far too long these last few weeks is hasian sexbomb Jenny Babas so here is one of her new videos.



We encounter a different venus in 1966´s Zontar : The Thing from Venus.



Coming back to DC Comics and Crisis on Infinite Earths one of the many earths that was assimilated into the new DC universe was the earth of Captain Marvel ( not Shazam, that is the name of the wizard that gave Billy Batson his powers ) and the Marvel Family. So for those who are unfamiliar with the character - aside from the inaccurate movie version - here is a very selective retelling of his history. But what do you expect ?



Speaking of Crisis On Infinite Earths one of the things I loved in the CW crossover was that Brandon Routh finally got to vindicate himself as Superman, even if it was only the Kingdom Come Superman. How many comicbook credits does he have at this point ? He has played regular Superman, Kingdom Come Superman, the Atom, Todd Ingram in Scott Pilgrim vs The World and Dylan Dog. Anyway here we have Superman Returns Superman interviewed by Smallville Lex Luthor. Mind blown.
