"Maybe we can join the United States." Believe it or not, this idea has been bandied about by separatists.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Wonder Woman - Lasso Season 1 This June! DVDs Announced: Details, Specs, Artwork!
Posted by David Lambert
3/26/2004


Meet the United States' secret and most beautiful weapon in the fight against tyranny: Wonder Woman! Season One of Wonder Woman (the Pilot Movie and 13 regular episodes) retains the World War II era of the super heroine's early comic book adventures. Also captured is the exuberant tone of a comic book come to screen life as the warrior princess, empowered by her sense of a woman's worth and by the mysterious substance Feminum that's found only on her remote native isle, battles a succession of Nazi baddies. Former Miss USA Lynda Carter stars as the heroine who hides her identity behind the oversized glasses of a War Department functionary. But when duty and danger call, she transforms. And the wonders never cease.





Is it okay if we say "We told ya' so!"?

Wonder Woman - The Complete 1st Season arrives on June 29th, on 3 DVDs - at least two of them double-sided - that contain the 90-minute pilot episode from 1975, plus the 13 weekly episodes that make up the exciting first season that ran in 1976-77.

Don't forget that Debra Winger shows up as "Wonder Girl", plus other guest stars include Cloris Leachman and Kenneth Mars. Lyle Waggoner co-stars as Major Steve Trevor, of course.

Episodes included are: "The New Original Wonder Woman" (90-minute pilot), "Wonder Woman Meets Baroness Von Gunther", "Fausta: The Nazi Wonder Woman", "Beauty on Parade", "The Feminum Mystique (Part 1)", "The Feminum Mystique (Part 2)", "Wonder Woman vs. Gargantua!", "The Pluto File", "Last of the Two Dollar Bills", "Judgement from Outer Space (Part 1)", "Judgement from Outer Space (Part 2)", "Formula 407", "The Bushwackers", and "Wonder Woman in Hollywood".

Included also is a featurette entitled "Beauty, Brawns and Bulletproof Bracelets: A Wonder Woman Retrospective". Also look for the commentary track we previously reported on: you'll find Lynda Carter doing one for the pilot, and sitting in with her is none other than Executive Producer Douglas S. Cramer.

Clocking in at 725 minutes, this will be viewable in the same video and audio it was originally broadcast in: 1.33:1 screen format and English Mono 1.0 sound. Subtitles are available in Spanish, French, and English, with closed captioning for the hearing impaired. List price is $39.98.

Actually, Northern California wants to secede from Southern California because a big chunk of the huge financial disarray that the state is in stems from Southern California and northern tax payers are sick of shouldering the burden.

There was serious talk about it and a pretty major organization was developed to promote it, but never a vote taken like in Quebec. Also, some areas of L.A. want to create their own city but they've discovered it would be too difficult to set up utilities like water. They'd have to set up a whole new piping system to the Pacific or elsewhere because the rest of L.A. would shut off the pipes that run to them now.

I think they were well in their right. It's their water and they paid for the piping. Why give it up for free?

Back on topic... I went leafing through the Wal-Mart bargain bins today (which are now down in price to US$5.50) and found copies of The Contender and Grumpier Old Men. Choice purchases if I do say so myself.

Except that Grumpier Old Men is pan-and-scan, isn't it? As for the water question, I don't see why the parties couldn't come to some sort of negotiated settlement whereby all the parties are happy.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Californians are never happy no matter what compromise is (or is not) reached.

Grumpier Old Men is one of those that doesn't need to be in widescreen for me. It doesn't really add much to the film since the film is all dialogue and physical comedy. Scenery plays very little into it, or at least insofar as the need for more scenery would arise.

Fair enough. I guess I'm still smarting over the free copy of The Mask that I got in a box of Frosted Flakes; P/S and with language bleeped out. Makes me want to SCREAM!

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Bleeped?!?! That's a travesty. Sounds like the Wal-Mart way of doing business.

Yep, and what sucks about it is that only the Wal-Mart price labels indicate that it's edited. So, if you buy it used at a record store, you won't know until you get it home. I bought a copy of Anthrax's "Return of the Killer A's" used at a local store and it turned out to be a Wal-Mart edit copy. They took it back as a result, which I was happy about. It was horrible to listen to "I'm the Man" edited. Travesty, I tells ya.

Just added Lost in Translation and my wife got one of the Anne of Green Gables DVDs (I believe "the Sequel"). She loves those Anne films.
