Amazing Spider-Man 2: Radioactive Eels
So, I take it from the new Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer that the movie version of Electro gets his power after getting bitten by a radioactive electric eel. Check out the Oscorp lab image at the trailer’s 1:24 mark:
It’s also interesting that both the Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer and the trailer for the new Godzilla movie open very similarly with characters falling out of the sky.

TV Review: An Adventure In Space And Time
The Doctor, one of the most beloved characters in television history, has never been portrayed by a woman or a minority.
While the TV movie An Adventure in Space and Time, about the making of the original Doctor Who series, doesn’t make up for that oversight, it at least stresses the importance that a female producer and a minority director had in laying the groundwork for what would become a sci-fi juggernaut.
That producer is Verity Lambert, who is portrayed in the film with a very realistic balance of naivete and bravado by Jessica Raine, and it is by focusing primarily on her story that many of the details of the show’s creation that Who-fanatics might be craving get completely overlooked and neglected. Thank God for that, too, as this leads to a much more emotionally resonate film than just a dry rescitation of facts that the film could have taken.

Conjoined Twins Gingerbread Kids
It’s nice to see these two youngsters not letting their conjoined nature get in their way of enjoying the holiday spirit!

Formatted For Kindle: Those Were The Days By Barry Dantzscher
Those Were the Days by Barry Dantzscher is a novel that I formatted for the Kindle and is available on Amazon.
Here’s the book’s description:
As the Woodstock Nation collapses in 1970, Jack and Dan, oversexed and underfunded grad school buddies, leave San Francisco for a job renovating a remote mountain retreat owned by Tom, a reputed drug trafficker. Their plan is to accumulate sufficient savings to finance their fledgling writing careers while they enjoy life.
To their surprise, the liberated women who come into their lives play a central role in their growth, challenging them to shed self-deceptions, to live and love honestly. Flower and Spring, uninhibited hippie chicks, reject the macho double standard. And there’s Pat, the ballsy single mother business woman who intimidates most men with her utter competence. And then there’s Alexandra, Tom’s restless wife who manipulates men to get what she wants.

Self-Portrait #3
This is part of my Self-Portrait series in which I take cell phone photos of myself in public reflective services. You can see all of them here.
This photo was taken in a reflective surface on the cover of a children’s book called I See Me: A Mirror Board Book, written by Julie Aigner-Clark and illustrated by Nadeem Zaidi, that plays off the idea that babies get excited by looking at their reflection.
