Spidey-Sense is Tingling

Anybody else excited for Spider-Man 3? I know I am.

I've been a Spidey fan for as long as I can remember. I owned comic books, trading cards, and tons of posters. I definitely went as the costumed Peter Parker for Halloween on more than one occasion. I think between my TMNT post and that last statement I have officially convinced anybody who used to think I was even remotely cool that I am, in actuality, not. If that doesn't do it - I used to own one of these. Talk about absurd super hero paraphernalia.

Speaking of absurd super hero marketing, I was walking through the super market the other day when I saw this:


So... Spider-Man lactates from his wrists now.

Into my breakfast. Ew.

After a little further examination it appears as though Spider-Man is actually just webbing the bowl, not shooting anything into the cereal itself. So now he's just stealing my breakfast, which I suppose is a little better than webbing it. Still, it makes me wonder what other cross promotional ideas the geniuses over at Sony thought of lately.

On a side note - whenever I make a post to my blog, I do a significant amount of internet research before dropping my many humorous insights on the avid "Why Not" readership. For today's post, I found an interesting variety of limited edition cereals created to help promote movies and TV over the years. I thought I'd share.

I fed Pac Man cereal to a turtle I found along side the road once when I was little. We eventually donated the little guy to the Great Bend, KS zoo. I guess turtles like Pac Man cereal.

Yeah I totally ate this cereal many many times. I recall it being extremely sugary.

Ok, that one probably isn't real.

Wobbly Wheezy

This post marks two events. First of all, I have just cashed in my V card with YouTube. After taking oh so much from the internets, I've given back for the first time in video form. Now I don't feel so bad about being erroneously honored by Time Magazine.

The second event which needs to be marked, and was the reason for my YouTube contribution, was that I made an animation. Up until today, I had created things in 3D, and moved things around manually in some weird gray virtual world, but I had yet to make an actual movie file. Well here ya go. Wheezy's very first 3D animation. It really gets good near the end, so be patient.

Pixar here I come! It took probably a couple of hours of fiddling to get that far, so I can only imagine how long it took to make this:

A young fella named Dony made that animation for his Master's Thesis. Great job, if you ask me. Although I dunno if it can compete with all the intricacies and subtleties of "Dude stepping on Box".
