The Mission gets a helping hand..
You know, I WAS going to put this in my Reasons To Be Cheerful, but this is so cool it deserves it's own thread.
Now then, for those that have never heard of The Curmudgeon's Mission, here's a quick heads-up. I'm a collector of live action comic book adaptations or superhero movies/TV shows/serials of ANY nature. If it's a guy in a costume fighting crime I am front row centre. So I started The Mission a little while back, and it's doing well so far. But it was always kind of a mystery just WHAT was out there, and the more stones I over-turned the more obscure titles kept popping up. It was hard to keep a definitive hit list of everything I needed to get.
Until now.
I came across this wonderful site purely by chance, and whilst it doesn't give you a direct place to BUY them, it tells you what it's about and what (if any) comic book inspired them. It even has the surreal foreign stuff.
Ever heard of the 1944 Captain America serial? Or the 1940's Batman serials? Or 3 Dev Adam, a Turkish movie where Captain America teams up with a wrestler to battle an evil Spider-Man? Neither had I, but it's just replaced "food" on my Essentials List. A lot of these things are never going to be released officially, so I have to go down the shady road of pirate copies for those. But hell, if they ever do get released (and somehow I can't see 3 Dev Adam appearing in stores anytime soon) then of course I'll buy that instead. But, needs must what The Mission commands.
Anyway, if YOU happen to come across any superhero DVD related stuff you think I should know about, you know where to tell me about it. Here's my DVD List right now to let you know how The Mission is going right now..
Just thought I'd show you this site, and let you know of my continuing mission, to boldly go and buy some of the worst things ever made.....

Uh.. to answer your question(s)
1. No, not yet.
2. Still no.
3. I will, though.
4. I just haven't got round to it yet. I've heard it sucks, and I've been predicting as much since pretty much day one. I think I'm going to see it next week. I'll let you know then. But just the one time....
I had NOT heard of Indian Superman, Wolfman. Thanks for that! And accoring to that link..
"Superman is one of those rare movies that manages to offend on every level. It is badly acted, badly directed, badly filmed, and makes no sense whatsoever. And just to add that extra level of offensiveness, the whole project is probably illegal."
Hell, that's me sold already.
I think that would be in front of Spider-Man 3 on my wish list.
