Is This Something?

Possibly, this is something.

Apparently it's unclear if this will be a movie, or if this trailer was just released in hopes of drumming up interest in a movie, or what.

Here's the first episode of the original show, by the way.

If they did make this movie, would they dub in the English voices?

That's why the new Godzilla movies flopped. They weren't crudely dubbed.

26 It just keeps getting worse and worse.

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is backing out of his scheduled appearance on "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon Thursday evening, following House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's surprising decision to quit the Speakership race.

An NBC spokeswoman confirmed that Boehner is no longer appearing tonight. She added that there are no details about possible rescheduling at this time.

Posted by: Speed Racer

definitely, you were screwed.

The one thing that was surprising about speed racer is that the villain's plot made sense. It really did. It was too complicated for kids, with deliberately tanking company's shares to enable a buy-out, but for an adult, it was cool, that the villain actually had a rational plot.

The rest of the movie was made for very small children, and then you'd have this semi-plausible corporate-manipulation plot get explained periodically.

And I've been watching the predecessor show to that on Youtube recently, a show called Ultra Q.

Yup. Gingrich was an extraordinarily successful Speaker, but, his peccadilloes made him vulnerable to the media, which loathed him for stymieing Clinton. I agree with Jones, if you are going to be under the microscope, you need to be able to withstand the scrutiny.

Sigh, I remember the Contract for America.

He does do very well in discussions with the media. He goes full professor and makes them look like idiots. I have this fond dream where the next Republican POTUS make Gingrich his/her Press Secretary and to motivate him, every time he makes a member of the media cry, $25,000 get deposited in Callista's Tiffany account.

Paul Ryan created a budget plan that should have been acceptable to one and all, but was forced to sit in a meeting with Obama on camera and was humiliated, berated, and condescended too by Obama who had no plan of his own, but was simply playing to the cameras to prove the republicans were feckless.

Ryan never made any statement refuting Obama's assertions, and after accepting the public butt thumping from Obama he never made any substantial comment to defend himself or the caucus.

How can he be considered a strong contender for Speaker when he was either unable to unwilling to defend his program?

Yup.... its going to be Ryann.... they are prepping the battle field right now to try to shut the Vets up...

Some of us don't forget that the ONLY Government spending he cut in his F'n budget, was our retirements.... not Congress's... not any other Fed Employee, just Veterans.

I think he'd have fun with it. The Choomster would show no emotion. I'd like to see it just so Newt could "gaslight" him for his last year.

243 Check out the TOS clip.
Episode has everything. Good guy gets superpower. Defeats rubber monster with useless rubber arms using bad wrestling move. Miniature landscape gets torn up and tiny buildings crushed. Aircraft on wires driven by fireworks.
Best of all? Science Institute with cool logo has Kill Alien Monster On Sight Prime Directive. Badass!
