It´s that feeling of DEJA VUE things again !

Like promised - or threatened depending on if you like these posts or not - here is a selection of all the different interpretations of the poster from John Carpenter´s classic horror / sci fi movie THE THING with Kurt Russell.

I hoped to do this earlier but the fun block of my last post evolved into a real marathon writing session so I only finished with it Yesterday. Then the devastating news of Bernie Wrightson´s death hit. I thought about doing a special post for that but it´s still too early and I really don´t know what to say to that. Since Bernie worked mostly on DC titles I didn´t want to put it up directly after THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD 4 and frankly speaking with four DC posts already lined up - GREEN LANTERN issue 96, GREEN ARROW issue 130 and then FLASH issue 135 I don not know if I can keep to my schedule. Dong one post every day is grueling and I still have to catch up on two days of sleep as it is. Even I´m only human. In any case, I´ll try to finish this post quickly so maybe I can do the GREEN LANTERN post Today.

As for the different versions of John Carpenter´s THE THING, I found a lot of them on DevianArt and you can see who made them from the name. Unless they didn´t give the picture a specific name in which case I´m sorry. I can´t include all the links for all the pictures - especially since I´m not sure where I found some of them - but if one of your pictures is included here and you want me to put up a link for you e - mail me or contact me via the comments. I have tried to make the selection as diverse as possible so if your picture is not in here it doesn´t mean it´s not good enough but rather that somebody else did a similar version.

Well, doing the birthday section has taken longer than expected so I won´t bother with going through my bookmarks a third time to look for any links that might fit Today´s topic ( and I doubt that I would find any if I did ) so let´s get right to the part you all are really waiting for : the bonus round with lots of comic stuff, pop culture trivia and a plethora of busty babes. And we start with a comic related birthday although the real year of birth of David Hine, one of the deranged masterminds behind The Bulletproof Coffin and The Bulletproof Coffin : Disinterred is unknown.

Maybe he IS really just a figment of our collective imagination and there is on real David Hine. Be that as it may what IS most definitely real are the Bulletproof Coffin comic books which longtime readers of this blog may remember me pimping as the best comic you are not reading and also the best new version of WATCHMEN without trying to be the new version of WATCHMEN. High praise indeed but I am not kidding you it´s all deserved.

I discovered this comic thanks to Terry Hooper´s fantastic blog COMIC BITS ONLINE ( which you all should follow religiously as long as it lasts ) and if I should describe it to somebody in a short sentence I would probably say it is Alan Moore and Grant Morrison going on a peyote induced trip after drinking too much tequila drawn by Jack Kirby meets Geoff Darrow with every pop culture thing you love thrown in from dinosaurs to zombies.

I know that a lot of people are put off by the art reminiscent of old pulp comics but let me tell you it does not only grow on you from issue to issue but while you read you suddenly understand why it couldn´t possibly be drawn in any other art style. This comic has my highest recommendation and if you don´t enjoy the heck out of this comic you are probably not a genuine pop culture geek and only picked up a comic because it´s trendy.

And it´s okay if you don´t believe me, but before you say " Hogwash ! " and turn your attention to other things maybe you would rather put your trust in Nevs Coleman on FILTHY ORPHAN or P. M. Buchan at STARBURST who has everything you need to know about The Bulletproof Coffin new and old in one place. JOSHUA MALBIN has a short review of the first issue of The Bullteproof Coffin with some preview pages and if you are not afraid of spoilers got to David Brothers post on COMICS ALLIANCE for the complete first issue plus some preview pages from issue 5 ( he also has a post on the special cut - up technique used in The Bulletproof Coffin : Disinterred issue 5 ) or you can read COMICS RECOMMENDED´s spoiler filled review of the first series and THE OUTHOUSERS has some preview pages from the first issue of The Bulletproof Coffin : Disinterred book.

Now the first celebrity birthday where I know the year of birth is Christy Carlson Romano who turns 33 and if that name does not sound familiar her voice probably would since she voiced Kim Possible. For some reason my brother gave me season one and season two as a Christmas present but halfway through the first season I got distracted with something else and at the moment I´m just too lazy to go through all the episodes again to find out which ones I have seen and which ones I have not. And there´s so much other stuff on my to watch list that it´s not even funny. I´m also torn in which language I should watch it since usually I just stick with the original but it doesn´t have such funny creations like Bittedankeschön !

And speaking about different languages, since everybody is familiar with the original Kim Possible theme song by Christina Milian - and I´m saving that one up for her birthday post - here is the french version by Priscilla.



Maybe it´s just me but I think Disney forfeit a great opportunity to make money when they squandered the possibility to make a real live action Kim Possible movie with Lindsay Lohan when she was at her prime.

Speaking about women who kick butt, Freema Agyeman celebrates her 38th birthday who played Martha Jones on Doctor Who, just the best companion ever and not only because she was absolutely hot. She was seriously underused and had a difficult time with fans because she came right on the heels of Rose. I don´t know if I found the GIF below at THE WHONIVERSE tumblr but you can sure find more Martha Jones GIFs there.

And if you need further proof that Martha Jones was on the mind of all male Whovians : she was the first companion to be featured in episode one of the Doctor Who porn version. You know that you have arrived in entertainment mainstream when they make a porn version about you.

Now since I wanted to post a Doctor Who video with Freema Agyeman I thought I had to look for one but then I remembered that Brianna from FandomReactions is currently binge watching the series before the new season starts and her latest reaction video is Martha Jones´ first episode.

I have to admit I have become addicted to reaction videos especially with the CW series. Since I can´t watch those with anybody in my family it´s my way to re - watch the episodes and see other people´s reaction. Which is especially interesting with something where you have already seen all the episodes and you know what is coming like with Doctor Who. Anyway, I don´t think I have mentioned the girls from FandomReactions before and I have them to thank for the Justice League fan film I posted because I´m not always up to date on anything involving social media.



Janine Kunze turns 43 who is best known as Carmen Krause from Tom Gerhardt´s brilliant comedy series Hausmeister Krause - Ordnung muß sein. The blonde knockout showed her curves in Knocking On Heaven´s Door and a guest appearance on Die Rote Meile and if you happen to own a copy of the September issue of the german edition of the PLAYBOY of 2002 you might want to keep it safe since she won´t do another nude photoshoot. Not so much for her hubby but more because her daughter is slowly getting to the age where the male classmates get interested in sex and having them drool over nude pictures of her Mom would probably lead down to some therapy sessions down the line. Although I´m not sure how effective that is going to be since you can find anything on the internet.

Janine is a frequent guest on various shows but I picked a video from Extreme Activity because it has the highest babe ratio. As you might have guessed from the preview picture german Busenwunder Verone Pooth is the real eye catcher which explains why she was on the show so many times. So far I have not gotten around to make a post on Verona but maybe I can do it this year. The only problem is that I still haven´t found the video with her wardrobe malfunction on Stefan Raab´s Tv Total.

I had three videos with Verona Pooth and Janine Kunze on Extreme Activity but I´m saving the other for the third person´s next birthday.




Now our next candidate put me in a dilemma because Bernhard Hoecker, who celebrates his 47th birthday, is a frequent guest on Genial Daneben - as are Janine Kunze and Verona Pooth. So far I haven´t found a video with all three of them - which would have made things easier considerably - and since I don´t want to have two videos with Verona Pooth in a row unless it is her solo post here is a clip from Switch Reloaded ! to diversify things.



Naturally I could not choose anything else than their version of Tatjana Ohm, the Jessica Rabbit of news tv very aptly played by Martina Hill.

Of course since then life has not only imitated art ( which in turn imitated life ) but turned it upside down completely with mega busty albanian sexbomb Enki Barcaj, the breast braless news reader in the whole world.

By the way, while I am trying to put all videos of Enki Bracaj on the blog as quickly as possible I am not going to make a new GIF for every new video. Making them is very time consuming so unless somebody else out there wants to jump into the breach ( I swear, so far I have found no GIFs of Enki ) I´m just going to re - use the same one over and over again.



We are slowly coming to the end of this post as controversial film director Spike Lee turns 60 who is known for making social issues the focal point of his movies and giving Rosie Perez her breakthrough in Do The Right Thing.

Before doing the right thing latin sexbomb Rosie was doing the dance thing on the show Soul Train which is where Spike Lee discovered her.



From Oscar winning director Spike Lee we come to Oscar winning actor who celebrates his 67th anniversary. I can´t list his complete list of films but he has been in comic book movie adaptions like A History Of Violence and the Hulk movies where he was General Thaddeus " Thunderball " Ross.

Now the question on everyone´s mind is if William Hurt will become the Red Hulk in the next Avengers movie since the Ross in the comics went down that road. I´m not so sure about that happening since Disney has made Ross the Secretary Of State in the last movie which is something that has not happened in the comics. I sure would hope they would finally give an actor of William Hurt´s pedigree more to do in the movie universe.

Happy JLA casting birthday Lindsay Lohan !

Today Lindsay " Freckles " Lohan celebrates her 29th birthday so here is her entry into what was the second part of my Hollywood casting for a Justice League movie but which has since exploded into many parts.

When I originally wrote the posts I concentrated on the hot babes because it was not on my comic related blog and I also kept it very short since I had already done posts on most of them and just put up some links.

Now here on the other hand I don´t think I have mentioned Lindsay Lohan at all. At least in no post I could find. So I will write a bit more about her in this post. But before we go into the whole JLA casting schpiel I have to mention that when I am talking about Supergirl here this will not be Pre Crisis Supergirl who died heroically nor will it be the later Matrix Supergirl which we talked about in previous posts about John Byrne´s Superman relaunch and The Supergirl Saga ( which is still in the pipeline, I swear ).

This will also not be the NEW 52 Supergirl because back then there was no NEW 52. When I write about Supergirl in this post it is the second - or some might say the real - Supergirl introduced in SUPERMAN / BATMAN.

Speaking about the NEW 52 Supergirl, isn´t it kind of ironic that Post Crisis Supergirl basically sucked ( yes, even and especially the extremely directionless Supergirl written by Peter David, at least in my opinion ) and the only interesting version of her comes around when almost all of the rest of DC´s series goes down the toilet ? They even had a really great artist with Mahmud Asrar, or even Geprge Perez, who did one issue, but then the constant barrage of crossovers and sub par storylines like the " everybody turns into Doomsday " or " hey, let´s make everybody a Red Lantern " has ruined the title pretty much because nothing says It´s that time of the month like Supergirl vomiting lots of red stuff. Thanks DC !

Angry Supergirl : Damn you, DC ! You crapped all over my book ! Again !

Another reason why I´m mentioning all this is to specify which costume Lindsay Lohan would be wearing. There were several costumes the Matrix Supergirl had - one of the more familiar ones is the one that appeared in the ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN cartoon - and even before that Supergirl changed her clothes very often. I was pretty fond of the costume with the puffed sleeves and the hot pants although the artists never did use the full potential of that design and I could not find a good picture of it. But even long before that Supergirl faced the one question that have plagued women since Eve had to leave the Garden of Eden : What should I wear ?

One of these days I really have to do a fashion special on the various costumes Supergirl´s had over the years but not before finally finishing the post on The Supergirl Saga. And definitely not before coming to the important part of this post, which is all about birthday girl Lindsay :

Lindsay Lohan as Supergirl ( Kara Zor - El )

And talking about ruining things : our next contestant, Lindsay Lohan almost ruined her acting career as she did her figure. Thanks to her ability to produce wardrobe malfunctions she gets cast as Supergirl.

Now I remember that Lindsay Lohan was this cute as a button girl in the US version of " Das doppelte Lottchen " ( a well known book by Erich Kästner in Germany ) and from all remakes of the material it's the most entertaining one. Erich Kästner was a big part of the reading at school - at least when I was going to school in Germany as a kid - and many of his books like Emil and the Detectives, The Flying Classroom or Three Men in the Snow that we had to discuss in class had also been adapted as movies ( in some cases more than once ) which made homework much easier.

One of them is Lottie and Lisa - or The Parent Trap like Hollywood renamed it - and it´s one of the movies I can watch all over again.

I was disappointed when I found out that Lindsay wasn't a real twin and this was all Hollywood's magic at work. Which was not the only time in her career that she was altered by computer science. But more on that later.

I would of course pick her from the time when she had real boobs and every man, teenager and prepubescent boy used her underage rack as jerk - off material / viagra substitute. Her body was out of control.

She was every male´s wet phantasie and there was a website dedicated to her that had a countdown to her eighteenth birthday. I bet she helped a lot of young kids hit puberty a few years prematurely with her films.

Except with HERBIE FULLY LOADED because Lindsay´s teenage chest was more than fully loaded and Disney decided to digitally shrink down her huge rack much to the chagrin of hormonally pushed males worldwide.

And I´m sure it cost them 90 percent of DVD sales worldwide. So Herbie fully loaded ( and Lindsay Lohan not so loaded anymore.....thanks to the evil wizards of Hollywood ) was a movie that I saw on television.

What's funny is if you pay attention ( don't do this the first time you see the movie because it's much better the second time ) you can see that every time Lindsay is in the background her boobies have the natural size and the nearer she comes to the screen the smaller her breast becomes.

It kind of reminds me of that fairy tale with the giant who got bigger the more he was away and smaller as he came closer. HERBIE FULLY LOADED is kind of the same thing. Only here it is backwards. And with boobies.

Maybe it´s just me but it looks like Lindsay Lohan was the inspiration for DANGER GIRL artist J. Scott Campbell´s mermaid picture below. 

Keeping in mind her scandals and how she is hounded by paparazzi she is perfect as the Maid of Steel without a clue, the Paris Hilton of the super hero community. Like Lindsay Lohan the new Supergirl has to get her act together because after a stellar start she had one failure after another.

Speaking about Paparazzis and scandals, another thing Lindsay Lohan had in common with Supergirl was that a member of her family had a sexual fixation on her much in the tradition of Golden Age Hillbilly Superman .

Now we know that everything you read on the internet is nothing but the truth and there were some implications that Lindsay´s Dad wanted to have sex with her. The whole thing started when he was thrown out of a stripclub because all the strippers he tried to order looked like Lindsay.

Now what I immediately thought when I read this - after been creeped out by the sheer thought of it - was why a stripclub has so many strippers who look like Lindsay Lohan ? As with everything in a free market economy demand dictates the supply so if there was not one but indeed several strippers there who looked like Lindsay Lohan it´s only because there was a high customer demand for that. Also, where can I find that stripclub ?

And there was even more fuel added when this picture emerged which may have been Lindsay´s father totally harmless flirting with a bartender and getting a photo take with her. Or it might be Lindsay´s Dad with his new girlfriend who looks a wee bit like an older version of his daughter.

On the other side this might totally be a case where the media see what it wants to see. In any case it didn´t exactly help that Lindsay dressed up as a hooker on Halloween because many where asking if this was really a costume or rather what Daddy made Lindsay wear around the house.

One last thing about Lindsey Lohan, since we´re on the subject of movie casting I always thought Disney threw away a huge opportunity because they didn´t cast her as the lead in a life action movie of Kim Possible.

Think about it : both Lindsay Lohan and Kim Possible were at the height of their popularity around the same time. It´s mindboggling nobody ever made the connection between those two up and coming teenage idols.

I mean a Kim Possible movie with Lindsay Lohan ( when she had big boobs ) would have totally rocked especially with some bikini scenes thrown in.

Although it looks to me like Lindsay might have bough that blue bikini in the hopes to get the part of Boom Boom in an upcoming X - Men movie.

So with this we come to the end of this post and here´s wishing Lindsay many happy returns and that all the scandals are a thing of the past now that it seems she´s finally back on track. Although to tell the truth I wouldn´t mind the occasional nipple slip or wardrobe malfunction. As usual this post has gotten longer than anticipated - even into german literature - and we still have more Supergirl stuff coming in the future.

There is nothing you can´t find on the internet so here is a video where somebody went to the trouble to restore Lindsay Lohan´s hotness in these scenes from HERBIE FULLY RELOADED. Or so I thought. I went back and after a bit of research I can confirm that this is actual footage from the movie. It seems that her original sized boobies survived in a few scenes where Lindsay is wearing a t - shirt. So it might be worth buying after all.



And here is a video which is also digitally - although very much biologically - unenhanced : Lindsay in one of her most famous SNL performances.



I can´t do a post with Herbie without mentioning Dudu, the german pendant. Since the beetle had been invented in Germany it made sense that the germans would have their own series of movies about a supercar.



The supporting character of the movie - I´m talking about the drivers - was named Jimmy Bondi and he always jokingly added that he was the little brother of James Bond. Who also had some well equipped cars.



In one of my previous posts I wanted to add a video of Germany´s answer to Jessica Rabbit, Tatjana Ohm, the news anchor with the biggest breasts on german tv. Back then I couldn´t find one so here is one I bookmarked a long time ago and then somehow forgot. It´s short but in good quality.



Here is another N 24 spoof with SWITCH RELOADED´s Martina Hill.
