This film is presented in "Widescreen" format. The black bars on the top and bottom of the screen are normal.
i got around to watching the entire first season of Wonder Woman including the two-hour pilot movie titled "the new original Wonder Woman". so if you do the math, and i so hate doing the math, that's 15 (fifteen) hours of Lynda Carter saving the world in her satin tights fighting for your rights.
these are the little things i would like to point out about the show:
now keep in mind, the show is about 30 years old, so i'm positive these have been mentioned before. this is just my twist on things.
1) Lynda Carter's stuntwoman looks nothing like her.
2) Wonder Woman can deflect any number of bullets shot at her, survive any physical battle, yet... she falls victim to the horrors of chloroform repetitively.
3) the male hero, Steve Trevor, played by Lyle Waggoner, is constantly hit in the back of the head or knocked out cold somehow. the amount of damage caused to his brain must have been tremendous.
4) it takes place during wartime in Washington DC. and according to the show, 1 out of every 2 people in America at the time was a nazi spy. example: if there were two scientists working on a secret formula to win the war, one of them was reporting back to berlin.
5) although Wonder Woman left paradise island to help stop germany from becoming an evil world power, she spent all her time saving Steve Trevor (you remember, he's the one constantly losing consciousness) if Steve was in trouble she would come-a-runnin! i'm sure the Americans fighting on the frontlines really appreciated her efforts to end the war faster.
Captain America would never hide out in the states while there were American boys in trouble!!! he was right there in front, yelling, FREEEEDOM!!!!! yay, Marvel!
6) Wonder Woman changes her clothes by spinning really fast, nothing ultra new or special about that, i just thought it was wierd that she checked to make sure her belt stayed on during the ordeal.
7) one power that W W has that is just amazing and wrong is that she had the ability to imitate anybody's voice. it's kinda creepy, i understood it when the terminator did it, he was a killer robot sent from the future.
8) she can't fly, she can jump really high, and i wish i made that sound effect when i jumped!
9) every show ends with Lynda Carter's signature smile and usually the phrase," that's just what Wonder Woman said" and then...freeze!
10) the invisible jet was flown by a doll. AND IT'S HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE SUN! (sorry, had to throw that in there.
11) in order to stretch out the thin plotlines into an hour long episode, they often repeated dialogue as much as possible. it makes me shake my fist at the TV.
12) Wonder Woman's power was at a point in the show stored in her bracelets, later in the season it was in her belt and lasso. i guess the writers wanted to figure another way to incapacitate her besides a rag soaked in chloroform.
13) anyone, and i mean anyone, can walk right into the war department. it was a wonder we won the war.
14) the bad guy's never get shot or killed outright. they get thrown. and of course, they get knocked out upon landing on the hard, hard ground. plus, with all these war criminals being captured instead of (gasp) dying during wartime the prisons must have filled up rather quickly.
15) besides the fact that Lynda Carter was about 7 feet tall give or take, she still had the great disguise... big glasses!!! heck, worked for Superman. people in the DC universe are just plain dumb. yay, Marvel!
um, i'm done.

after watching several episodes of Challenge of the Superfriends i decided that ending every imperative would be better if i ended with the phrase: "AND WE'RE HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE SUN!!!"
EXAMPLE:
we're all out Froot-Loops...AND WE'RE HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE SUN!!!
an alternative, just to switch it up, could possibly be ...AND IT'S ON FIRE!!!!
have fun kids.

things to do:
1) count how many Z's are in the first 10 minutes of toy story 2
2) sell things that i have so that i can buy other things to sell later... circle of life!
3) figure out why i just can't win
4) seperate my m&m's by size
5) find out why the color green is so prominent in my life
6) somehow stop the fashions of the 80's from making a comeback
7) read a book that doesn't involve x-wing fighters
8) get my face to appear on kid's band-aids
9) write the great American novel
10) make a prequel.. it's the latest thing to do these days, except Disney. they seem to have a neverending supply of sequels to their films. i'm holding out for Black Couldron 2.

the creatures cannot hurt us because we have the magic rocks?
i don't believe kitchen sinks were designed with anyone taller than 5' 2" in mind.
i spend 15 minutes washing my dishes and my back is killin me! i'm only 6'1". c'mon!
if i'm gonna live in a world where men like me try try to help out around the house i think we should have adjustable sinks! sinks that raise for the real man who just doesn't bend that way for long periods of time.
unfortunately, i'm too lazy to come up with a prototype or even do anything about it except complain.
cuz face it, for a nerd, i'm just not that handy. i can change my own oil though!
and i am well liked at parties. it's probably cuz i let people shine my forehead.

i really, really, really, really miss my insomnia.
i used to get so much done when i couldn't sleep until at least 2:00 a.m.
so many movies, books, computer what-nots that i miss out on cuz of this nocturnal unconsciousness. it ain't fair i tells ya!
these days if i make it past 10:30 i'm as happy as a clam. but i find myself wondering what to do. i gotta stay quiet cuz two other people also sleep here, so that leaves me to do computer stuff, which bores me now.
chat rooms were fun at one time in my life, but well, i grew up. ...sort of.
anyway, i hope you see my point.
tsunami relief.

McDonald's tastes like paste to me.
not the good kind of paste either.
it just kind of sits at the back of my gums and ferments until i brush my teeth or wash it out with copious amounts of mountain dew or some other tasteful experience.
been burping it up all night, and that's just unpleasant...

so i'm packin up a few things around here to make things look a bit more presentable. we would like to move soon and an empty house is just easier to sell.
wheresabouts we intend on moving to i'm not too sure. i just know we gots ta get outta here soon before the government catches on.
run! E.T. run!!!!
anywhats, i'm packin up the multitude of videos in the deep dark cabinet of my entertainment center, and i come across our wedding video, which has never been edited.
i ended up watching most of it.
in fast forward.
it's a heck of a lot better that way. our wedding was only 20 minutes anyway, so there's nothing like a 10 minute wedding.
take that! ya crazy catholics!

i think singing old whitney houston songs in public at the top of your lungs is just plain fun.
my friend john started it way back in high skool with the hit, "i will always love you".
adam sandler sang the same song in his goofy voice in the not-so-great movie bulletproof.
and you can too!
other songs i might suggest embarassing yourself and others with are:
didn't we almost have it all
one moment in time
greatest love of all (as destroyed on stage by the band sexual chocolate in the movie coming to america starring eddie murphy)
i have nothing
i wanna dance with somebody, if you're feelin sassy!
and as always... i will always love you, sure to turn heads, especially if you stand on a table and wave your arms.
well, try not to get arrested.
and remember, i believe the children are the future...

rented the movie garden state.
it was one of those artsy films that looks better than it sounds.
it was interesting, yet boring.
it was weird for the sake of being weird.
it shouldn't be at the top of your list of movies to see, maybe near the right hand bottom corner.
at least i can take one of the lines from the movie to heart:
"i like being unimpressive. it helps me sleep at night."
so there.

watchin episodes of greg the bunny. man! i love the character tardy turtle!
he's the one with the lines that come completely outta nowhere!!

i'm supposed to eat legos.
i made smelly in my shelly.
my bed has rails on it.

i shampooed my carpet today.
