Friday Ephemera
Steve Rogers gets buff, fights Nazis. // Steve Reich’s Clapping Music as performed by Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson. // Seahorses being born. // Hand-painted chocolate ladybirds. // Chocolate heart. // There are microbes on your cheese. // The catacombs of Paris. // Cockpit panoramas. (h/t, MeFi) // Unseen Star Trek. // Half-pound gummi bear on a stick. // Mechanised shoes make piss-poor art. // Snowflakes and microscopy. // Microscopy and alcohol. // Objects, exploded. // The future isn’t what it used to be. // The apologetic robber. //X-Men rebooted. // “Researchers have managed to make an entire paper clip invisible.”
The apologetic robber had previous convictions for armed robbery and forgery.
X-Men rebooted.
Kevin Bacon?
Kevin “Footloose” Bacon?!
“Kevin ‘Footloose’ Bacon?!”
Anything can happen in the world of Marvel Comics.
Ah, the Lee Marvin -video was a perfect exposition on feminist rage.
Not sure about the rebooted X-Men – it seems a little like the 90210 Star-Trek movie from ’09. Ohwell, I’ll torrent it, of course…

Simen,
Not sure what to make of it yet. I like the idea of the period setting – of events taking place at the time the comic first appeared, with missile crises, civil rights, the Space Race, etc. I even like the idea of Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw. But will January Jones be a suitably barbed and imperious Emma Frost?
It has the original ‘Blackbird’! I’ll forgive it almost anything for that…
As someone guaranteed to grumble at a ‘Yanks win the war singlehanded’ film, I’m pleased to see that the ‘Captain America’ trailer at least features some recogniseable British (or at any rate, non-US Western allies) servicemen.
Re Paris Catacombs, “The bones from other cemeteries soon followed. Some of France’s greatest luminaries, including Rabelais and Robespierre, are believed to lie somewhere in the massive ossuary.”
Robespierre, a luminary. Alas, my ignorance of modern European history…
