An
Old Jordan Rosa Review Rebuked…
Hey,
do some research; The Charger in The Fast and the Furious
was not a 69, it was a 1970!. I am 15 years
old and I don't know much about cars. Come on, it's almost
common knowledge.

Jordan
couldn't respond; he was too busy slinking away with his tail
between his legs. We
couldn't respond; we were too busy being horrified that Jordan
does indeed have a tail between his legs.
Actually,
Jordan did the research here - according to the website for
the film, that Charger was indeed a '69. So take that, Mr.
Don't Know Much About Cars Mellenchek.
Everybody
else start chanting: fight, fight, fight…

The
Mark of Kane…
First
off, love the column, just thought I'd tell you that as a
little brown-nosing intro. Secondly I was just wondering,
is that the same guy that plays Kane, because
1. It
didn't sound like him, even though in the past he has had
the mask to cover his mouth, which distorts his voice some,
but it still sounded like a different guy.
2. He
looks smaller, not only in height, but in his overall build.
Now Kane didn't have as big a gut as Taker does, not by a
long shot, but he did have what I refer to as a fuel tank
(at least that's what I tell my wife mine is).
3. He
seems waaaayyy too happy to be Kane; he smiled like three
times in less than two minutes! Now sure, Kane has done some
comedy bits in the past, my favorite was when he had a tag
match with bubba ray dudley and they both did the "WHASSSAAP!!"
thing, that killed me, but this is like they hopped him up
on nitrous before the match.
I could
be wrong, but it just seems like a different guy.

answers:
Hey,
thanks for the brown nosing. It's always appreciated!
That
was Glenn Jacobs under the Kane mask on Monday. He's the
only man to ever play Kane with the one time exception of
The Undertaker under the suit. Before his injury Kane was
under pressure to lighten the load a little if you know
what I mean. During his time off, he probably hit the gym
to lose that "fuel tank."
As
for the happiness, blame the writers who simply lost track
of the character that made Kane cool. It would be funny
if after months of brooding and brutal matches Kane did
some comedy bit (like the WAZZAP thing) but it's not funny
if he just does comedy bits. The writers were trying to
change his character before the injury and it looks like
they got their mind set on doing it. God only knows why.
Thanks
for writing. Wrestling opinions dished out 24 hours a day.

Just
letting you know that you're right on target as far as reviewers
go.
Sojourn
and Negation are 2 of the best reads out there. I'm about
to drop Sigil. It seems to be going nowhere and boredom
is setting in. I'll probably just check out the end of the
war, which should be the next couple of issues.
Good
job and thanks.

You
might be interested that at least some of the Martian creatures
(the Sorns anyway) in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
are from C.S. Lewis' Mars story Out of the Silent Planet;

Yes,
same chap as the Narnia books.
I didn't
know about Gullivar of Mars. Is he as much like Lawrence
of Arabia in the original novel, do you suppose?
I haven't
been through the backup feature much, but surely 'Christian'
is from The Pilgrim's Progress. And Prospero is from The
Tempest, but he's reported as living too recently.
--Paddy
Smith
Yeah,
I avoided annotating the back-up feature because it would
have burned out my search engine. Your two guesses on the
earlier League's membership are spot on. Issue #2's back-up
reiterates Prospero's identity in case anyone missed it.
As for Gullivar of Mars, I haven't actually read the novel,
and only dimly recall the Gil Kane adaptation from Marvel.
Like too much great literature, I've only read the comic
book version, but I can't really tell you anything about
it.
Curses. Exposed.
Thanks for reading and writing, and please remember that
if anything sparks your interest on Fanboy Planet, we want
to hear about it!
