Breaks In The Day!

Hate 'em!
If I'm up, awake and cognate I'm either working or relaxing with the family.  I have a routine that I am "fixated" on and do not like to deviate from.  When something out of the norm occurs it throws everything off!  Such was my malady yesterday, so much so once returning to the shop I found it nigh on impossible to refocus and get anything done.  Hence why I have nothing new to show today in the way of rides. Oh I did get some work done on a neat ladies vintage three speed, but I have several more that should have been finished languishing in "Bone Row".  And today is no exception as I have to break mid afternoon to take Kaleb to visit with the intermediate school. 
Joy.
SO, starting anything new may not be in the cards.
ANYWAY!
This is for any of the high Mucky Mucks at Marvel entertainment!  Y'all can listen in too, and hopefully help get the word out on this incredibly brilliant idea.  As Marvel is ramping up phase two of it's brand of Superhero flicks this year and next culminating in Avengers 2, they are on the idea hunt for Phase Three.  Under suggestion are such stalwarts as Black Panther, Inhumans and Doctor Strange.  The Doc's the one I want to touch on.  Believe it or not he did in fact appear on screen before, way back in 1978 on the small screen starring Peter Hooten (? apparently a less then important actor as he doesn't even warrant a Wikpedia reference!)

Yea.  GREAT casting!  Mike Brady haircut and a "porn"-stache!  I caught the flick on Netflix a few years back and could only get through the first 15 minuets it was so bad.  Picture quality was so dark and grainy it looked as if it had been filmed in one night because it was SO low budget.  It was the pilot for a proposed series (remember the 70's Marvel attempts?  Spiderman (1977-79)?

 

 

 Shoots webs as thick as sailors ropes?!  Captain America (1979) ?  Spandex clad with Plexiglas shield!?

  And the HULK (78-82)?

 Ok.  That was a cool show, especially to all the young boys with suppressed anger issues!  Whenever my kids ask "If you could be any superhero who would you be?"  The Hulk of course!  To be able to be THAT wantonly destructive and impervious to harm!  Oh gimme some a dat! 
But anyway....
Marvel has announced that Dr Strange will definitely be in Phase Three, probably in '16-'17.  A few actors names have been tossed around to fill the title role including Patrick Dempsey and Liam Neeson.  OK, Liam is definitely a fine actor and a true bad ass, but over exposed.  And Dempsey?  Well I know in the beginning Steven Strange is a narcissistic bastard but he comes to grips with his humanity, all I've ever known is Dempsey just playing a prick.   No, I have a much better recommendation.  Along with my elder son Elijah who seemed to be on the same page we offer up...

Benedict Cumberbatch!  Yes, OK....I know.  I constantly rave about the man but just LOOK at the man!  He IS Steven Strange!  The brow, the hair line, narrow face, eye set!  Just add the Van Dyke and gray streaks in his hair and you got the Doc!  And as far as acting chops!  LORD!  Just watch Sherlock, Star Trek: Into Darkness, and as he is a presence in the new Hobbit trilogy he's already getting his feet wet in the realm of magic!  He can Do brooding, contemplative, AND action better then any out there right now (I mean Dempsey? By the All Seeing Eye of Agamotto, NOOOOO!) He also does heartless self aggrandizing prick PERFECTLY (again check out Sherlock!)
Marvel, you have done very well (for the most part) in casting for the most recent flicks (Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane NOT withstanding) DO NOT let this recommendation go unconsidered!  I firmly believe it would be a pairing akin to that of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, or Heath Ledger as the Joker! 
Bear witness.  It MUST be so!
Anyway.  Ranted enough, now best get something done.
See ya REAL soon!
