Greatest Threesomes Of All Time [ll]

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

yanks

As the Internets Celebrities roll out another episode of ‘I.C. NYC’ I began to see the group reaching G.O.A.T. status. Who else brings this level of edutainment other than KRS-1. Except the Internets Celebrities do it without all the self-aggrandizement.

There have been other moments in our history when three dudes from similar yet disparate backgrounds came together to be great. Here’s a short list of some of the greatest threesomes [ll]…

musketeers

No one can deny the fame or popularity of the Three Musketeers. They are hell’a ghey tho’. Let’s move along before I Tracy Morgan myself.

celts

Was the Celtics ‘Big 3’ of Allen, Garnett and Pierce as great as Jordan, Pippen and Rodman? Of course not, but the 72-10 Bulls never had cool nickname either.

shady

Maybe Dr.Dre. Eminem and Fifty Cent aren’t actually a threesome. They are together in this pic tho’ and that should count for something.

de la

De La Soul is hands down my favorite threesome in rap history. Sorry ’bout that Moe Dee.

knight rider

Okay, so Gary Coleman was only on Knight Rider for one episode but just think about the power that a magic negro midget, a talking car and David Hasselhoff’s pants were generating. The world still isn’t ready for that reality. R.I.P. Gary Coleman.

And without further adieu I give you Episode 3 of ‘I.C. NYC’ from the greatest threesome on the internets.

Batman: Odyssey = WTF?!?

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

I feel like I always have to post a disclaimer up when we are discussing some serious fanboy shit. Just so that no one reading this years after it was written thinks I have considered turning in my fanboy ID card.

Neal Adams for my money is the greatest comicbook artist of all time. John Byrne is a close second when it comes to penciling and inking his own shit, but that is why the edge goes to Adams because he doesn’t over-embellish his lines like Byrne does. Anyhoo…

I’ve been sleeping on this recent Neal Adams iteration of Batman titled Odyssey. It’s a funky little series which feels slightly derivative of Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns classic. The writing in the books has Batman doing a lot of nifty talking thru narration as he throttles crooks. Mainly tho’ this series has Batman being a totally bonkers sociopath.

I haven’t been able to figure out the series yet but I’m intrigued to see where Adams is going to take the characters. Batman’s relationship with Alfred as well as the Joker is completely turned on its head where we see batman getting into yelling matches with Alfred and later he is driving around Gotham with the Joker talking to him like a confidant.

Batman’s relationship with Robin and Lieutenant Gordon is also strained in this series which makes me wonder if that might have been the rule of thumb for this series; describe Batman as this pained individual who has more in common with the Joker than with the rest of humanity. As long as Adams stays on the pencils I will keep reading the book.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

The perfect stroke [ll]

How much of a sneaker fiend are you? Do you own baseball cleats even tho’ you stopped playing organized softball several years ago?

Okay, then you might be as official as I am.

Draft Daze: The Legend of Dontrevius Wenters…

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011

1986 draft

The dream of playing in the Association will become closer to a reality for a select few gifted athletes starting with the NBA draft today. For some other players, and people, and one non-athlete in particular it shall remain a dream. That person’s name is Dontrevius Wenters.

TERRENCE ELENTENY created Draft Daze specifically for the NBA draft. He asked me on the project to play the role of the central character and to add some writing to the project. I think that under the time constraints of all the people involved TERRENCE nailed this joint.

If you haven’t watched Draft Daze in it’s entirety please do so.

And don’t stop dreaming…
