Thor

In honor of the impending release of Thor, here is a list of bizarre stuff from Marvel Comic's Thor that will definitely not make the movie.
– Thor Frog- Yeah, he got turned in a giant frog, complete with armor and hammer.
– Beta Ray Bill- An alien with a horse-like face who proved himself worthy to hold the hammer of Thor and was later rewarded with his own magic hammer. Nothing strikes fear into the hearts of evildoers like the power of BILL THE ALIEN!
– Drago- A young Thor from the future, complete with bad temper and pseudo-spiky mid-90's bad comic costume.
– The Thor Corps.- A short-lived team comprised variously of Thor, Beta Ray Bill, Drago and Thunderstrike (a guy who used to have the power of Thor and now has a not-as-good weapon)
– Asgardian Chicks- Loki (Thor's evil half-brother) was transformed into a woman for a short while. And the weird thing is it isn't even an original idea as Thor himself had been turned into a woman in the 'Earth X' series.
– The High Evolutionary- Apparently a major villain in the Marvel Universe for awhile. Except that he's a scientist in pink armor whose power is… that he's a REALLY good scientist!

Cereal

In honor of today's comic, here are my favorite all-time cereals.
– Fruity Pebbles- But you have to eat them fast or they get soggy.
– Boo-Berry- The absolute best. Leaves a nice refreshing drink of blueberry milk when you are done, too!
– Oreo O's- Imagine if Cheerios tasted like Oreos! Bam! Delicious!
– Lucky Charms- Even if you were one of those who would always make sure you had at least one of each type of charm, they were good.
– Cocoa Puffs- Cereal so good it made you insane. Apparently.

Shoulda

I was thinking today about comic projects that never got made into movies. That were in development and got cancelled. Here are a couple I wish had happened.
– Supermax- Green Arrow trapped in a super-villain prison.
– Captain Marvel- With The Rock rumored to play villainous Black Adam
– X-Men Origins: Magneto- An origin film delving into the past of Magneto. It's been replaced by X-Men:First Class.
– Justice League of America- It nearly got made.
– Blade III- It was supposed to be Blade as a survivor as the world has been over run by vampires. Instead we got Blade:Trinity. Which sucked (despite some Ryan Reynolds wittiness and Jessica Biel hotness).
– Teen Titans animated film- It was supposed to be an adaptation of the 'Judas Contract' storyline. Which kicked 97 flavors of ass.
– The Flash- It was rumored that Ryan Reynolds was going to be The Flash. Instead, he's Green Lantern. So that's actually better in my opinion.

Maryland

There's a chance I may move to Maryland if I get this position I applied for at work. It's by no means a sure thing at this point but I just wanted to offer three things that would be awesome about moving to the DC Metro area.
– Ledo's Pizza- The best pizza I have ever had has a couple locations up that way.
– No More Roommate- I could bid a fond farewell to roommate living. And my roommate is a clown so that is a BIG plus.
– Museums- I would have more than ample time to visit all the Smithsonian institutions I never got to go to.
– My employer is right on the Metro line so I could avoid the hassles of traffic. Probably.

Bill And/Or Ted

Word has it that the third Bill and Ted movie is weeks away from having a final script. All these years later I am surprised that Keanu Reeves has agreed to do it. But I can't wait. Because I love 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure' and I REALLY love 'Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey'. The second was much more epic than the first and had more laughs per minute (LPM), in my opinion. Besides, Granny S. Preston, Esquire was terrifying. We have since lost the genius of George Carlin but I still think this movie could work. And let's face it, Alex Winter could use the money.
