As regular readers know I don´t like to have two posts about the same comic publishers in a row and while I have declared this month X - MEN MONTH the rule still applies so we are having a DC Comics post between the two Arthur Adams posts. I know, you might think that coming up with a new post to put in - between such double booking posts would be difficult but with the huge backlag of posts I have plus all the stuff I find while doing the research the most difficult question for me is not what to post but rather what to post next. For this post it´s CAMELOT 3000, a 12 issue maxi series written by Mike W. Barr, penciled by Brian Bolland and inked by Terry Austin. Besides the groundbreaking approach to gender roles - about I already wrote in this year´s Brian Bolland birthday tribute - CAMELOT 3000 was also one of DC Comics first direct market projects, its first maxi series AND the first to be printed on Baxter paper ( if you do not know what that is I explained it at length in INSIDE THE OUTSIDERS ).
Now since I have already written about CAMELOT 3000 in the Brian Bolland post you can use the link for an introduction and you can also watch the video about this great series. But before we start with issue 1 I have to address one of the greatest misconceptions about the King Arthur legend : Excalibur was not the sword in the stone. I know that in some of the versions of the King Arthur legend they are one and the same but in the one that is most common they are not. The sword King Arthur pulled out of the stone was called Caliburn but it was destroyed when King Arthur fought King Pellinore. If I remember correctly because Arthur was using the sword for selfish reasons and not for Britain. Merlin then got Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake in exchange for a later boon. So if Excalibur HAD been the sword in the stone ( or anvil ) it would have been destroyed and Arthur would have had to use another sword. And the story would have been only half as good. Which is our clue to finally start with the story.
Since I already posted my video for Camelot 3000 I am going with Head Lopper, a book that has been on my to read list for quite some time now.
I think the main reason why I haven´t started reading it yet is that so far it is only available in trade and I want to avoid the mistake I made with Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting´s spy series Velvet where I bought all the trades a few months before the deluxe edition hardcover was available.
We are staying with comicbooks and I have to thank the Corona virus for our next clip. Because without it the new free comicbooks from the Gratis Comic Tag 2020 would have already be out and I wouldn´t have had to resort to last year´s free giveaway comics. And without that I would not have gotten another sample of Olivia Vieweg´s graphic novel Endzeit.
Without which I would not have known that the movie adaption has not only been in cinemas, it is already available on DVD and BlueRay. With all the things that are going on right now a lot of things slip by the radar especially comicbook related things now that all the big events like the ComiCon in Stuttgart, the International Comic Salon in Erlangen or the München Comicfest have been canceled or at least been postponed.
Returning to the topic of magic swords we come to one of the biggest 80s cartoons, Thundercats, and yes, it´s another video hosted the annoying Jackie Jennings who once again tries to hide the only two reasons why she got her job. If you want to get a better view of her breast features check out the video about Mystery Men in my second James Robinson birthday post where her giant melons are at the forefront - hashtag huge sweater puppies. Looking at those titanic tittilating twin torpedoes you know that DD blow up sex doll Jackie was born to massage throbbing erections with her mouthwatering milkshakes until they become harder than unto a thing of iron and that she didn´t end up in porn movies is a mystery for the ages. Maybe somebody can make a GIF of her gigantic gazongas that I can include in future posts. It´s really unbelievable that so far nobody has made even one considering the sheer size of her breasts.
Who also has overdeveloped oppais but unlike Jackie Jennings is really funny is hasian Jenny Babas and I´ll give you three guesses what her favorite sexual position is. One hint : it rhymes with " doggypile ".
Sadly I can´t feature her as much as I like to but here is another video with her usual mix of sexy and funny yet thought provoking material.
A few of the Jenny Babas videos have been deleted from YouTube ( like the first two I initially wanted to include so I had to post the one above ) and I know that I said I posted it before but I´m including episode nine of Do The Right Thing in this post because I can´t always trust my memory.
Speaking of ridiculously talented asians with an ass that just won´t quit it has been quite some time since I posted a video from k - pop band Miss A and more than two years since I posted their top five live performances .
As always I am late to the party here because Miss A - a South Korean girl group based in South Korea formed by JYP Entertainment in 2010 - has already disbanded. The group started with four members, but Meng Jia left in May 2016 while the other three remainded : Suzy, Fei and Lee Min Young who is the most important member because she´s my favorite.
Although I might be in the minority here because ti seems that so far Suzy and Fei have been the big fan favorites with Miss A followers while Min ( I will be using the abbreviated version of her name for most of the rest of the post ) only seems to have gotten more attention starting with the Good Girl Bad Girl video where she showed how incredibly flexible she is.
Now I am not saying that my taste is especially eclectic as I immediately was drawn to Min and you have to keep in mind that the first thing I saw of Miss A were their life performances of Hush where Min is already much sexier - at least according to what I could read on the internet. Anyway, in the Hush live gigs Min clearly stood out, not only because of her haunting voice ( which according to the in - depth vocal analysis on AMINO is the best in the group ) but also because she´s the first one you see and she is absolutely stunning. Especially with the shiny blue outfits which are very effective in bringing across her sexiness while still looking classy. Adding to that look is the jewelry which is a cross between a posh necklace and a sado maso slave chain which instantly reminds you of 50 shades of Grey type of sex practices. On top of that the blue outfit fits like a second skin that does not leave much to the imagination so when Min pulls out her best stripper moves you get the urge to chain her up in your bedroom.
Can you imagine coming home and finding this blow up sex doll waiting in your bedroom doing the splits ? I hope her boyfriend gives it to her 24 / 7 the lucky stiff. Stiff being the operative word here because a sex freak like Min will keep you constantly erect with her superior asian lubrication.
Now I already posted the best performances of Miss A´s hit Bad Girl, Good Girl in my SUNDAY SURPRISE WITH JACK KIRBY´S SANDMAN post so here are the next five performances of Hush, the first song from them I heard.
In November 2017 Min left the group which was officially disbanded in December 2017. Since then she has appeared in a movie and a musical.
I think there is an upside to the brake up of Miss A. Now that Lee Min Young is concentrating on a solo career in acting maybe she will take on roles that are a bit more risque. I could totally see her in a live action version of Urotsukidoji II - Legend of the Demonwomb as Negumi.
Okay, maybe that is reaching a bit high. Time to bring it down, Subzero.
But who knows ? Asian cinema is often imitating american movies so a korean version of Showgirls ( just not as tame as the american original ) might not be out of the question. Min already has the moves down to pat.
In any case I hope we haven´t seen the last of Lee Min Young ( although keeping up with her via internet is difficult since there seems to be an actor with the same name who always comes up when I´m Looking for Min ) and maybe they can put a scene like the one below in her next movie.
Coming back to stuff I have neglected for a long time, I don´t go over my old posts too often - with 1,100 + posts that would be a full time job - but according to my tags I have only posted two videos with ASMR Amy. And, yes, her videos may go to the limit with what you can post on YouTube but that´s just ridiculous. So I want to make up for this and since I couldn´t decide which video with Amy playing a vampire to post I´m including all three. I don´t know about the whole ASMR craze, I mean, it´s supposed to help you relax but for some strange reason I always get very excited watching Amy´s videos. And being turned into a vampire may not be high on my list but the prospect of spending eternity with vampire Amy may not suck. Although I´d prefer that she sucks other body fluids than blood.
Trying to keep the sword and sorcery theme going here is Brandon´s Cult Movie Review of Sorceres courtesy of Jim Wynorsky and Roger Corman.
Lately Warner Brothers has uploaded some rather long documentaries to YouTube and since we all have a little extra times on our hands because of the Corona lockdown here is Secret Origin : The History of DC Comics.
Coming back to folklore and fairy tales Today´s cartoon video is Rocky & Bullwinkle´s Fractured Fairy Tales presenting Rapunzel and Puss In Boots.
We can´t end this post without another episode of Faerie Tale Theater and initially I thought of including their versions of the faerie tales above to show the contrast but then I would have to post two episodes and I don´t have that many left. So instead here is one of my favorite faerie tales, The Boy Who Left Home To Find Out About The Shivers, starring Christopher Lee, Frank Zappa and narrated by horror icon Vincent Price.
Closing out our post is austrian band Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung ( First General Uncertainty ) with Märchenprinz ( Fairy - Tale Prince ).
