I just read where U2 is STILL touring out on the “left coast” in support of the 360 movie. This kinda saddens me in a way. I was hoping for a GOOD album soon, not the mediocrity of the past 2 releases. A great band burning so bright. I gotta wonder how long it’s gonna last. The Rolling Stones just released an updated version of the 1973 album “Exile on Main Street” featuring 10 new tracks that were “thrown away” during the original recordings. Included are new versions of 'Soul Survivor' and 'Loving Cup'.


Thought this “Periodic Table of Super Powers” was kinda net… http://www.blogcdn.com/www.comicsalliance.com/media/2010/05/periodictable-2.jpg

It appears ABC and NBC are jumping on the superhero bandwagon with each introducing superhero themed shows for this fall. NBC’s “The Cape” features “a good cop framed for a crime he didn’t commit” scenario. The pilot actually looks decent; not good, to me anyway. I KNOW the luster will soon fade and this show will end as quickly as it’s appearing. Here’s a link ot the trailer - http://www.nbc.com/the-cape/video/the-cape-full-length-trailer/1228325/?dst=nbc%7Cwidget%7CNBC+Video&__source=nbc%7Cwidget%7CNBC+Video

ABC has “No Ordinary Family”. It has Michael Chiklis in a familiar “Fantastic Four” role. While vacationing near the Amazon River, the family’s plane crashes into a section of the river that has a strange phosphorous glow! They all live and come back home to discover each family member has “super human” abilities. I expected something different form the company that owns Disney/Marvel. Like NBC’s “The Cape’, this show will probably lose favor and interest and be cancelled. But not until the 2nd or 3rd season.

  1. Well, The Cape looks good but the hero looks like a Sith wanna be. Hope it fleshes out a few seasons. Fav line: Say hello to Dorothy, bitch!

    No Ordinary Family looks even better with a little more humour thrown in. Still didn't understand the boy's powers.
