Mystery Men By Kinka Usher.

Mystery Men by Kinka Usher.

This movie is a combination of a lot of things that I like:

An underdog story, gaudy superheroes, creative sets/visuals/costumes, and some of the funniest actors of our era. Loosely based on Bob Burden's Flaming Carrot Comics, Mystery Men takes place in a world where not only are superheroes for reals, but there are way too many of them, putting some of the superheroes with the lamest powers on the Z-list.

The main thing I don't like about this film is the ending. Throughout the movie, none of the Mystery Men's powers work quite right. Then suddenly, at the end, everything just works for no good reason. That's lazy writing. What should have happened was the heroes should've figured out a way to turn their weaknesses into strengths. Instead, their powers just work out of the blue, "THE END."

Still, I really like the production value and this movie has some of my favorite fanboy jokes. Also, I find Mr. Furious relatable from time to time...

On November 15, 1966, Two Young Couples From Point Pleasant, West Virginia—Roger And Linda Scarberry,

On November 15, 1966, two young couples from Point Pleasant, West Virginia—Roger and Linda Scarberry, and Steve and Mary Mallette—told police they were chased by a large white creature whose eyes "glowed red". They described it as a flying man with 10-foot wings and said it followed their car while they were driving in an area of town known as the "the TNT area", the site of a former World War II munitions plant. This creature came to be known as "Mothman" and has since been blamed for everything from causing TV static to killing pets to even a bridge collapse. Folklorist Jan Harold Brunvand claims the creature was something real and frightening, but explainable, that got woven into local legends. Others have claimed the creature was a UFO, some a large owl and others say it's a large American Crane.

What do you think the Mothman is?

Fun Fact:

Fun Fact:

Man-Thing, one of my all-time favorite Marvel monsters. Maybe you've heard of him, maybe you haven't. But I doubt you knew just how absurdly powerful this guy is! This guy is way more powerful than you think and here's the reason why:

Believe it or not, Man-Thing can take on Cosmic Entities, he's defeated the Incredible Hulk and even the Juggernaut is afraid of him. In addition to superhuman strength that allowed him to fight the Incredible Hulk to a standstill, his durability is so insane that he couldn't be hurt by the Incredible Hulk or the hell flames of Ghost Rider (and Ghost Rider's hell flames can actually harm Doctor Strange). Man-Thing can fly, he has telepathy, and he can teleport himself and others to any dimension or universe in the Multiverse because he's the guardian of the Nexus of All Realities, which leads to the Multiverse.

But the Man-Thing's primary power is his empathy, which allows him to sense the emotions of others. But the one emotion that Man-Thing cannot tolerate is fear. And because of a deal that was made with the demon Belasco, whatever knows fear burns at the touch of the Man-Thing. And there's no known upper limit, meaning as long as any being (from human to cosmic entity) is afraid of the Man-Thing, they will burn at his touch.

The Man Who Laughs (1928) by Paul Leni.

One of the most iconic and influential silent films of all time (along with Metropolis, Nosferatu, and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari).

A magnificent film and one of my favorites.

Highly recommend checking it out.

And, yes, Conrad Veidt's interpretation (and Jack Pierce's make-up) inspired The Joker.
