Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer Remember that one?


Silver and gold
Well, he’s not frosty the snowman, but he’s still cool (pun intended).  I need to sit down and re-watch Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.  I fondly remember watching it back in the day as child.  It was an old TV special even when I was young because it came out in 1964. 
In addition, the cut I watched wasn’t the same cut that Rankin-Bass originally created. They added and deleted a few songs and added a scene at the end with the Misfit Toys. 
I still fondly look back at this animated special because it had a good message.  “Even though you are different, you have a place in this world no matter who you are.”  Being an outsider and being different, that message connected with me. 
However, is Rudolph a mutant?  Does that mean he can become a member of the X-Men?


Notes
-She Thinks I’m Cuuuuutttttte
Axe Licker: It was mentioned on Hollywood Babble-on that Yukon Cornelius licks his axe in the movie.  I always laughed when he did it. Who knew that gold had taste and smell? 
The song Fame and Fortune isn’t in the cut anymore.
Even Destiny’s Child did a version of the song

I would be of the belief that ALL the reindeer are already mutants, seeing as how they can fly :)

yeah, that is true. I guess Rudolph would be the super mutant of the group.

Then, there is Santa that can bend time and space in order to deliver all those gifts. I'm guessing he's a timemage or something

That could be a fun short story title "Santa: Timemage to Children"

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Shrek the Third

Shrek the Third It’s not really that funny. Shrek 3 isn’t very funny or entertaining. It’s not even a bad movie, it’s just boring. While the other two movies tried to give us some adult humor, with Dreamworks ripping Disney a new one in both movies, Shrek 3 simply doesn’t bother to be funny. I probably laughed three times during the entire time. The allure and humor of the first two films are gone in Shrek 3. So, who is to blame for this movie? It’s the screenwriters. The script is the reason this movie doesn’t work. The story is like that cheap soda you buy from a knock-off brand: it taste bland and doesn’t have that kick that the real sodas have. The jokes feel incomplete and dry. As I watched the movie, I came up with better jokes and storyline progressions than the actual movie. There was an ENTIRE subplot about King Arthur and his misadventures in high school cut from the film. Check the DVD for some very good deleted scenes that should have been left i...

Madison Swan/Mia Malkova: Not so Mother's Day

I’ve written about some messed up things in my time as a blogger, but this story might just top the cake.  And, I mean really.  If you are offended by porn and the porn industry, don’t read this blog.  However, this might be one of the strangest and creepiest things I’ve seen and read about.  It just seems so wrong... A few days ago, I stumbled across an Amateur Allure (porn) video.   AA is a polished porn site that features a lot of POV shots and newcomers in the industry.   Also, there is MILF/step daughter (pretending) porn thing out there and it’s very popular.   Even AA has a few of these “fake” mother/step-daughter teams.   It is a very popular Genre in the industry.   However, this one is different.   AA had a video claiming that a fledging pornstar Madison Swan/Mia Malkova   did a Pre-Audition video with her mother tagging along…her real mother.  Mia/Madison shows up for her “audition”, which means you show ...
