If you follow me on Facebook, you’ll know the reason content has been lite of late is because over the Fourth of July holiday, I hit up massive sales at Frankenstein Comics and Fat Jack’s. I bought so many comics, I had to build new underbed storage for them, and I’m still busy bagging and boarding them, only up through the E’s. But while I was at Frankensteins, they had a box of crazy old magazines, all marked down to a quarter. These are the magazines I saw in that box of old garbage that I just had to own.

Back in the day, movies just came out when they were done post production. That all changed after a little movie called Jaws. It was the first real summer blockbuster film. After it’s success, studios began meticulously planning their schedule. Oscar bait comes in January. The worst crap comes out in February when no one has anything better to do. But they now try to build their entire year around the three major summer holidays of Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day. Let’s take a look at the best tentpole films released around the Fourth of July.

So this week marked the release of the new Michael Bay Transformers movie. I honestly couldn’t care less. I used to be a huge Transformers fan back in the day. But while Michael Bay and his explosive movies may have soured me, I think everyone can agree that the original 80’s cartoon was chock full of craziness and awesome characters and can never really be duplicated, no matter how many times Hasbro tries.

The other day I caught Not Another Teen Movie on cable. It reminded me of the awesomeness of the teen comedy renaissance of the late 90’/early 00’s. While it was ushered in by such great movies like She’s All That, Clueless, and Can’t Hardly Wait, I would actually contend that those movies that came out after the groundbreakers of the reemergence of the genre were actually much better.

As a nerd, we’re pretty much hard wired to love green skinned women. Be they alien, reptilian, cyborg, robot, amphibian, gaseous, energy, or some form of “other”, green skinned girls abound in the worlds of science fiction.

OK, I know I said last week’s list of Cartoon Redheads was ungoofable, but I done goofed. Josie and the Pussycats was an Archie comic long before it was ever a cartoon, so that leads to this week’s topic. And I promise, I’m all redheaded out, and will be moving onto something else entirely next week.

OK, so last week, I kinda messed up. It’s been pointed to to me that not only is Christina Hendricks not a real redhead, neither is Alyssa Campanella or Emma Stone. 3/6 is not good. So this week I plan to rectify that with a list I can’t possibly screw up, assuming I am not colorblind, and I don’t believe that I am. So this week, it’s limited to cartoon redheads.

Lucille Ball. Shirley Temple. Molly Ringwald. Lindsay Lohan. Alyson Hannigan. Lita. Queen Elizabeth I. Ronald Mcdonald. What do they all have in common? They’re all redheads. Everyone loves redheads. Only about 1% of the population naturally has red hair, so being a redhead has a certain mysterious allure to it. Unless they also have freckles. Then they are a ginger and have no soul.
