Something familiar about it

My wife was reading an old comic book of mine, a Finnish translation of Longshot miniseries. I thought the art work looked familiar but there was something odd about it. It looked like Art Adams’ work, but something was quite not right. When she was finished with it, I got a change to see the credits. Turned out While Portacio had inked it. It’s been ages since I’ve read those or for example Portacio’s work and I’m still able to notice those things. Yey.

Another thing I realized today, visiting my mom and the town I grew up it: the ninja movies of the 80’s made me the man I am today. It’s a miracle that I’m still alive and have my vision, with my history of DIY ninja throwing stars and other weapons. Yey again!

Day at the beach

Yesterday we spent the day in Lauttasaari seashore, first on the rocks and then on the sandy beach. I ate three cinnamon buns for lunch. My body fat percentage is 16.5%. The temperature at the dōjō was 30.2°C at the beginning of the class.

Lucky punk gets called back

Not that it doesn’t happen these days, but I think in the 70’s and 80’s it was more common for the same actor to play different roles in the same tv-serier or movie sequels. Previously I’ve made made some queries to MacGyver and Stargate cast lists and found reoccurring actors. Few weeks ago I accidentally noticed Albert Popwell has been in four Dirty Harry movies, playing a different character in each movie.

  1. Dirty Harry: Bank Robber
  2. Magnum Force: Pimp
  3. The Enforcer: Mustapha
  4. Sudden Impact: Horace King

I think the most important one was on the first Dirty Harry movie where he plays the robber who’s asked the famous question, “Do you feel lucky, punk?”
