I was using two blogs...one to write about the Reds, the other about me. I rarely actually blog, so I am just combining them here. So sometimes this will be about the Reds, sometimes just my life.

Thoughts from Third Base: November 8, 2010

It's over 80 degrees in my office. Uggggh.

Possibly the first teaser for Star Trek 2. I'm excited for it.



Tons of Superman news.  First, Who will play play Superman?  If it is Rock or John Cena (second link), again I say Ugggh.  I think Routh was a good Superman, and Welling would be as well.  Why not continue along the lines of the Smallville mythos?  Then you have your Superman, Lois, Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, and others as well.

Thank you Warner Brothers for not letting Steven Speilberg ruin Harry Potter.  The movies aren't perfect...I would give Order of the Phoenix a D (for Dreadful).  However, it is better than a CG Potter franchise shrunken down even more.  Was what happened to A Series of Unfortunate Events.  It wasn't bad...but it wasn't good either.

One of my favorite 80's TV cartoons is finally coming back.  Long overdue, if you ask me.

Another Silent Hill Movie?  Yes please.  Although we can add that to the list of movies that makes WV look bad!

This is just funny.  BTW...I got the vid from a different site...I don't frequent the site it's from.  Blech.



In addition to Green Lantern, Batman, and Superman Warner Bros. is said to be working on Wonder Woman and Flash, as well as possible other DC properties.  Shazam! is not included.  I really would love a Firestorm movie, which could be stellar.

Jane Lynch is all over the TV this holiday season.  That last one could be awesome!

Vanessa is blogging about her time getting a new dog, which will commence soon.  She's going to be sharing the process for those curious.

Jason Segal is making the new Muppet Movie...which means awesome because Segal rocks quite a bit.



The big controversy last week was that Hulk Hogan flashed the camera in front of his daughter Brooke in the commercial for a game.  However, funny story...he really didn't.  Something with a wrestler NOT being real/what it seems?  Who woulda thunk it?  :-)

As the Reds post season recognitions keep coming, Walt Jocketty was named Executive of the Year.  Other deserving Reds (we'll see how it pays out over the next couple weeks) are Brandon Phillips (Silver Slugger, Gold Glove), Jay Bruce and Scott Rolen (Golden Glove), Dusty Baker (Manager of the Year), and Joey Votto (Silver Slugger, Golden Glove, MVP, and pretty much anything else they give awards for).  I supposed Coco will be in talks for the Rolaids Relief Man of the Year.

The Reds, Tigers, and all of Major League Baseball have lost a legend this week.  Each of those is a different link that says things better than I could, so why try?

Jay Bruce is just one of many Reds getting paid this year.  And by paid, I mean the big bucks.

Taxes in baseball.  There is a luxury tax in baseball.  I agree there should also be a salary floor.  A team should be required to spend so much...to actually attempt to win. Pirates, Marlins, I'm looking at you.

A Redsfest wishlist. In addition to Mark Lewis (on the list) I would add Bip Roberts.  I think the Reds should try to bring back any and every person they can.

Rock Band 3 gets Bon Jovi content.  I'm fully in favor and it's worth getting RB3 for.

More Captain America pictures.  Let's see what Dawgie thinks of the shield...but I think the second picture I show may get Elissa to watch it.

The new Scream 4 poster makes me excited for the new movie.



Another Discworld movie, even animated, is good with me.

Interesting stories coming for Gotham City.  Could be good.

I am VERY good with the idea of Eliza Dushku as Wonder Woman, either on small or big screen.

The first part of the Dark Tower saga gets a release date.  Could be amazing!

The Third Narnia film is looking to go back to the awesome fantasy roots, as opposed to the borefest of Prince Caspian.

They keep teasing us with information on Batman: Arkham City.  I cannot wait for this game.

Aroldis Chapman may stay a reliever for now.  With Arroyo, Volquez, Cueto, Bailey, Wood, Leake, Maloney, and Lecure, that may be the best bet.  It also protects him.

Aunt Petunia (Harry Potter) is going to be in True Blood.  Seeing as all I hear about True Blood is that they are constantly naked...this really scares me.

That's good for now.  Have an awesome week!

  1. The link to the 80's cartoon didn't work for me. What is it, what is it, what is it?!

    Jason Segal + Muppets? I'm on board. :)

    Captain America Pecs Man is worth a second look, but he's a little too blonde and non-hairy for me. :) :) :) Don't you love that I'm talking about hairy men on your blog?

    I'm starting to think I should re-watch all the Potter films, but you KNOW how hard that's gonna be for me. *angst*

  2. It's Thundercats.

    Well since I am a hairy man...I guess it is ok.

    Indeed I do.

  3. I would also love a Firestorm movie, however, I imagine it would be difficult to do it justice. The last comic character with flaming hair to make it to the box office was Ghost Rider and that film was a train wreck and a half.
