NEED SOME EXACT DIALOGUE

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

One of the most famous sequences in Spidey history is from the original “Amazing Spider-Man #33,” the conclusion of the Master Planner story. Spider-Man, buried under a hunk of machinery, gives himself a pep talk while he hoists it off himself. He’s saying something like, “Anyone can be a hero when things are going well. It’s when the going gets tough yada yada,” something like that. Problem is, I don’t have the issue or a reprint handy, and I need it for an article I’m writing. Does anyone more organized than I am (which is pretty much anybody) have the exact dialogue I’m ham-handedly summarizing? I don’t need the caption narrative; just what Spidey was saying to get himself stoked.

Thanks in advance.

AND THIS JUST IN In a move that may provide some small solace to Yankees fans, Derek Jeter will not be charged for the error in the sixth inning. Instead, he’s having it charged to Visa.

HORSING AROUND

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

From a recent open letter by Bill Jemas:

“At the same time, the friends that I work for and with are giving me reign

to do what I do best; exploring new challenges.”

Here’s a suggested challenge, Bill:

USE THE RIGHT FLIPPIN’ WORD.

It’s “rein,” dámņ it, not “reign.” To “reign” is to rule, as a king. You’re not a king. To “give rein,” just as in “give free rein,” is a horsemanship term. It means to ease up on the restraints and let the horse go at whatever clip it wants in whatever direction it wants.

I don’t know why so many people screw this up, but I see it all the time and it just makes me nuts.

COWBOY PETER’S TV ROUND-UP–ALIAS, SMALLVILLE, ANGEL, WEST WING, AND A SHOUT OUT TO NIP/TUCK

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

A note to our friends in other countries who have requested that this be broken up into individual threads for spoiler purposes: Sorry, guys. I sympathize, and that’s actually the way I used to do it. But there were times it seemed that every blog posting was TV discussions. So I decided to consolidate all the major ongoings I watch into one place. Hence the “round up.” I apologize if reading the thread in its entirety muffs up your enjoyment of the episodes when they eventually hit your airwaves. On the other hand, you can always wait until you’ve seen all the shows and then read this in the archives.

So…onward…

A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

No, it’s not a baseball blog entry. This is a pencil preview of an upcoming issue of SOULSEARCHERS & COMPANY which will feature the introduction of the Enclave of Incidental Individuals…an assortment of literary also-rans such as Inspector LeStrade, Renfield, and a hypochondriac martian from “War of the Worlds,” who have not-so-compelling adventures.
