Cameron Dye’s biggest claim-to-fame was in his portrayal of Nicolas Cage’s buddy in the 1983 teen comedy Valley Girl. It’s true that the film was kind of fun and I enjoyed it for what it was: a pile of crap. But having said that, my main impetus for purchasing a signed photo of Cameron Dye was the fact that he had played the role of Sam Phelan in two episodes of Smallville. You see… Superman connections pretty much always trump raunchy teen poo. Read the rest of this entry »

They say there is no rest for the wicked. Ergo, I must be wicked, because I have had no rest. While the weather has been scattershot, ranging from quite chilly to blazingly hot and the grass has continue to grow against my wishes, I haven’t had much time to take any of it in because I’ve been busy meeting friends, going on dates, bailing people out of jail, and jetting off to New Jersey to meet celebrities – all over the course of the two weeks that followed my Florida trip.

Six years after I first began my quest at encountering the Kryptonian villains of Superman and Superman II, I picked up my second one at the Hollywood Show on October 8, 2011. I had started the journey by getting a photograph with Jack O’Holloran, who had played the idiot character Non in films. The second encounter came from the infinitely more attractive Sarah Douglas, who was the sleek and sexy, but cruel and deadly Ursa. As you know, I rarely balk at any sort of Super-Encounter.

On Friday, April 20, 2012, I was able to complete the ultimate North American Disney parks experience by visiting Disneyland. Believe it or not, I actually had visited both Disneyland and Walt Disney World within the span of one week back in 1992. But this trip slightly altered the milestone, by occurring in the same calendar week and with a visit to all six of the parks. (Animal Kingdom and California Adventure were not in existence in 1992). In actuality, with this visit, I visited all six of the parks within three days. And there were four of rides that I rode one day in Florida and then the next day in California. Finally, it represents the only time that my family was at one Disney park on the same day that I was at the other. Read the rest of this entry »

As far as long-haired Asian henchman in popular action films of the 80′s and 90′s, I’d say that Al Leong has pretty much cornered the market. I pretty much defy each of you to deny that you’ve seen him somewhere – whether it be in Lethal Weapon, Big Trouble in Little China, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (in which he played Genghis Khan), Last Action Hero, or my personal favorite of his films, Die Hard. You know, he’s that Asian guy with the crazy martial arts whom you’d be scared to see on the streets, but generally ends up getting killed pretty quickly by the film’s hero.
