Spider-Man My comic book posts have been fairly DC centric, but the first superhero I encountered in my formative years and who I still hold a literary torch for is Spider-Man. It was probably because of Marvel UK publishing their Spider-Man weekly title that I met the wallcrawler, and then subsequently the broadcast of the …

40 Days of Awesome: Day 37
Brussel Sprouts Oh, they are so awesome! Really. If you don’t like them, fine. You know what though, how have you had them? Boiled until they are a soggy, stinky mess? Highly probable, and if that’s the case you OWE it to yourself to give them another go, cooking them simply and deliciously. Since Day …

Alfred Hitchock/Strangers on a Train I love Alfred Hitchcock movies. Eat them up, I do. He created some of the greatest thrillers (Hell, lets say it, greatest films) of all time. My personal favourites are Rope, Vertigo, North By Northwest and I do have a soft spot for Family Plot, his last creation. But none …

Zatanna I may have mentioned my love for the Justice League Satellite era previously, and this is one of the reasons why. I’m a bit notorious on YMB for my love of Zatanna, and not withstanding the poor episode of Smallville which saw her make her small screen debut, it hasn’t waned. Thing is, I …

Basil Rathbone IS Sherlock Holmes Over the years there have been countless actors ho have played the world’s most famous fictional detective, but in my eyes one man is the definitive Holmes. This is similar to my choice of Tom Baker as Doctor Who on Day 21, and would probably be as divisive if anyone …

Tablet Oh sweet, almost sickly vixen. Your taste sets my teeth a-tingle. My tongue flicks your rough hind and laps at your stickiness. When I bite … oh my delicious Scottish buttery joy. Heart palpitations. copyright The Smorgasbord, December 2009

Margaritas Oh yes. Nothing finer on a summer evening than a good margarita in a cool glass with a salty rim. Actually, never mind the summer, winter works too and I’m pretty glad of the all year round awesomeness of margaritas as my father-in-law makes some of the best ever. Of course its not as …

The Two Ronnies Remember how I mentioned way back on Day 15 that Monty Python seemed to be something different compared to the usual comedy fare I watched as a child? You don’t? Don’t worry, I did. I did miss one out from the list though, and that was deliberate because The Two Ronnies were …

Ealing Comedies Its interesting, checking back on the history of Ealing Comedies, that the Ealing Age spanned just 10 years between 1947 and 1957. A short time of course, but when you look at the number of classic films they produced in that time, its amazing they amount of quality they managed to squeeze out …
