Superhero Health and Exercise

2010-08-30T06:42:00.000-07:00

I've always been into two things for most of my life which are weight lifting and comic books. Right now I'm really into health and fitness in general, and I've created a site dedicated to health and fitness called hip2bfit.com health and fitness . I've recently added a section about superheroes and fitness. I talk about actors and what they do to get into shape for superhero movies, and some

Time-Rider Returns

2010-08-26T06:40:00.001-07:00

No I'm not talking about the old movie from the early 80s. I'm talking about a comic book creation of mine. I spent quite some time a couple of years or more ago on creating a superhero time traveler character. At first I had him travel time by just walking through doors of time, but this time around he's only going through time with the help of his flying 57 Chevy equipped with its very own

Christmas Time Superhero Art

2009-12-19T07:41:00.000-08:00

Well it's Christmas time again. I've been partied out, had my money stripped from my hands in the name of Christmas giving, and watched as many Christmas specials and Christmas TV Episodes as humanly possible. I thought in the spirit of the holidays I would share some of the great holiday superhero art from my superhero site superherouniverse.com.Here's a relatively new addition Sabre Claus done

Best New SCI-FI

2009-11-10T11:58:00.000-08:00

Some good stuff is out there and coming around the bend. V the new series has got my interest up with the first episode so far. It's classic sci-fi in that's it's not just a bunch of aliens running around killing things like a cheap sci-fi channel Saturday night movie. It does what good sci-fi has always done in the past. It uses themes of science fiction to represent current political climates

Violence In Movies and TV

2009-10-30T13:04:00.000-07:00

Has violence gone overboard in movies and television, or even comic books for that matter? Uh, yeah I think so.Even John Wayne who wasn't a stranger to violence in movies said about a popular movie of the day, "To me, The Wild Bunch (1969) was distasteful. It would have been a good picture without the gore. Pictures go too far when they use that kind of realism, when they have shots of blood

Comic Books Have Changed!

2009-10-26T09:48:00.000-07:00

Maybe you don't need a history lesson to realize how much comics have changed in the last couple of decades. I still remember those first few comic books I found in my grandma's garbage can. If she hadn't decided to throw them away, I would have never found out just how much I'd love to read and collect them. That was back in the early 70's, and those comics were a collection of Superman, Batman,

Best TV Dads of All Time

2009-10-21T11:45:00.000-07:00

1. John Schneider as Jonathan Kent on Smallville.You just can't get any better than the dad of Superman. I mean come on. He raised Superman the defender of truth, justice, and the American way. I'm still upset they killed him off in season 5. Did they not realize Jonathan Kent was still alive on Lois and Clark and in the comics? The last time Jonathan Kent died early was Superman the movie.

Save Money on TV Viewing

2009-10-19T09:58:00.000-07:00

These days we are all looking for ways to save money. I am no exception. I've done everything I can lately to watch the money. I even almost got rid of my phone and just used my cell phone, but the phone company cut me a cheaper rate for a few months if I'd wait.The biggest thing I did was cut out my satellite dish bill. That's a savings of 60 dollars a month, and I know that's probably nothing

Fan Boys Are Way Too Serious

2009-10-16T13:57:00.000-07:00

Have you ever went browsing around looking at superhero movies sites like say superherohype.com and read the comments under the news posts? Boy to read the comments you'd think the fan boys hated every superhero movie ever made, or every movie that is being made except for the Dark Knight.Despite the fact it made millions of dollars Spider-man 3 is deemed by some as the worst movie of all time. I

Superhero Fitness Tips That Don't Work!

2009-10-16T11:04:00.000-07:00

Just for fun I thought of all the ways I've tried to be more like a superhero.1. Tried gamma radiation like the Incredible Hulk. Got the green glow like I'd been exposed to too much Kryptonite, but after several weeks my bench press refused to increase. Lost a couple of teeth that week for some reason.2. A radioactive spider bite failed as well. Had to go to the doctor for the bite and didn't

My Workout Inspirations From the 80's

2009-10-14T09:54:00.000-07:00

I sure do miss the 80's. Remember those days? Back in those days everybody seemed to be into fitness. There was no Biggest Loser show back then. No sir, back then everybody on TV was fit or getting fit. Remember the Lee Majors diet ads? How about the Rocky movies?Those old TV and movie heroes like Lee Majors, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Mr. T gave me a lot of inspiration to

Does Biggest Loser Have the Right Idea About Weight Loss?

2009-10-09T09:58:00.000-07:00

Does the Biggest Loser have the right idea about how to lose weight? Well that's a good question. Personally, I used to be of the mind the harder the training the better. I grew up on Rocky movies and have been thus inspired to push my training exercises to the limit as I grew up. But as I have grown older and wished to continue to live healthy, while avoiding constant muscle tears and injuries,

Is Playing Curly Worth Jim Carrey's Health?

2009-10-09T09:20:00.000-07:00

Have you heard? Jim Carrey is gaining a lot of extra weight to play curly in the upcoming Three Stooges movie. I love the Three Stooges, and I'll be hoping for the best, but although I think Carrey is a great actor I have never imagined him as Curly. Have to see it to believe it.Question I have is though as hard as it is to lose weight, why does Carrey want this role bad enough to gain 50 lbs
