Good Saturday morning, kiddios. Hope you all made it through the week in good shape.
Don't forget to join us tonight for our October Eve edition of Saturday Night Karaoke, live and loud at the Iron Horse Tavern in historic downtown Norcross. We'll be rocking the house with all the karaoke fun from 10pm-1am tonight as we start the countdown to the Eighth Annual Costumes & Karaoke Party.
Yes, I'll admit it: I'm a nerd. Of course, plenty of you already know that. I'm not a comic book nerd, though (I do read The Walking Dead collections- I already know how Alexandria's war with the Saviors eventually turns out) and never had much "passion" about the Fox or Sony-owned Marvel properties other than whether the movies were good or bad (pretty much all of the Spiderman and Fantastic Four movies were fucking terrible), but Marvel (for the most part) manages to make theirs pretty damned fun. I even enjoy Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (though I really wish they stop bringing Ward back from the dead, or outer space, or wherever the fuck he is) and the Netflix series have been fun (though Iron Fist was the weak link there).
That said, I watched "The Inhumans" last night and all I can say is, goddamnit Fox- make the deal already. Sony did it, and people seem to have nothing but good things to say about Spider-Man: Homecoming. But Marvel's storyline that substitutes the inhuman characters for what obviously should be mutants is just maddening sometimes.
Medusa? Something about that hair just made her fucking creepy as hell to look at.
And why is the faun guy named Gorgon? They're all over the place with this shit! Gorgons, in case you didn't know, were the three sisters of Greek mythology with snakes for hair, who had the power to turn anyone who looked at them to stone. You know, like Medusa?
And then there's the giant bulldog- which is only slightly less stupid than the mind-bogglingly idiotic dialogue.
Too bad they didn't spend as much time on the story as they did on the production values.

Ryan Seacrest tweeted yesterday that Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and Katy Perry will be the judges for the "new" American Idol.
And there goes my respect for Richie.
Speaking of Perry- her Los Feliz property makeover is on hold while the Catholic archdiocese looks for a replacement for its House of Prayer.
Even after an L.A. Superior Court judge ruled that her purchase of a convent in Los Feliz could move forward, Perry is waiting on the Vatican to give its approval of the sale of the former convent- which is still in use by local clergy.
"Nothing could be submitted to the Vatican until a suitable House of Prayer location is identified," said a representative of the archdiocese.
Because the TV show wasn't cheesy enough, and the two movies they already made weren't shitty enough, Charlie's Angels is being "rebooted."
Word is that Lupita Nyong'o and Kristen Stewart are up for two of the three angel roles.
Speaking of movies I'd call shitty, Sex and the City won't be getting a second sequel. Sarah Jessica Parker ("she has a face like a foot") told Extra TV that the project would not be made and The Daily Mail reports that Kim Catrall "demanded they produce other movies she had in development or she wouldn’t sign up for the project".
Cattrall, however, took to Twitter to say that "The only ‘DEMAND’ I ever made was that I didn’t want to do a 3rd film….& that was back in 2016".
Birthdays today include: Robby Takac of Goo Goo Dolls (53); Basia (61); Patrice Rushen (63); John Lombardo of 10,000 Maniacs (65); Marilyn McCoo of 5th Dimension (74); Johnny Mathis (82); and Cissy Houston (84). #MusicalBirthdays
