8/13/22 odds and ends: Anne Heche,

 Anne Heche passed away due to complications after her recent car crash. Specifically an anoxic injury to the brain. My condolences to her family, especially the kids she left behind. It's horrible to lose a mother, especially Atlas, who is 13 year old... He's just a kid, for crying out loud! If it's not easy losing one's mother as an adult, I can't dare to imagine what is like for a 13 year old kid... it's incredibly messed up...

I'm not a huge fan of her... I mostly remember her due to her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres... I also saw the Psycho remake, but didn't like it that much. She voiced Lois Lane in a DC animated movie. I think it was Superman: Doomsday. I remember her in a movie with Harrison Ford and can't  remember the name right now... 6 days 7 nights, thanks internet!

Apparently she was in the legend of Korra...

Playmates Toys is releasing an Amazon Exclusive pack of Vintage TMNT figures:
Foot Soldier, Leatherhead, Mutagen Man, and Wingnut... for some reason it shows as unavailable for me. On the other hand Walmart has the Superhero pack with Donatello, Michelangelo, Rocksteady and Bebop disguised as Superheroes. That one I can theoretically order...

I need to get in the Hasbro Selfie Series action... I have commented about this before, but reading this article about the process of making an Action Figure Avatar of yourself is exciting!! Sure, it's $60 plus overpriced FedEx shipping for me, but being immortalized in an official action figure is beyond insane!!

Greg Berlanti's name is on the list of possible candidates to become the DC counterpart of Kevin Feige. Berlanti has been the powerhouse behind the Arrowverse. I got to be honest, the start was really good but eventually due to pressure from Warner and the Network, his universe spiraled out of control. The shows became less about the heroes, but more about their love interests. Felicity and Iris ruined Arrow and Flash respectively. I want a good base and good direction for DC's cinematic new universe. I'm worried that Berlanti's decisions will bow down to pressure from executives that wanted Superman to use the pod he came in as a baby to return to Krypton, which had exploded to smithereens... or whoever approved any of the garbage that Snyder made.
