in the comic books, spiderman
in the movies, batman
although the punisher came out with a very underrated film in my opinion
i’m talking about the one with tom jane, that’s the only one i’ve seen
the original punisher, which some amazon reviewers said was even better, starred the big russian from the rocky movie
there is also a new punisher film coming out soon that has a new guy

I’ve never had Tocai Friulano. I’m looking forward to it, though… it’s on my list.

QOTD: Before last week, I’d say Batman. He’s got no special powers. It’s just him. And he’s a bit dark, too. Sometimes he crosses that line to do the right thing.

But, last week, I read the Watchmen. *Awesome* My new favorite “superhero” is Rorschach. That’s one bad dude. Of course, he’s a bit crazy at the end, but I like his uncompromising principles.

I am among the 95% - I will definitely have to try a Tacai F! QOTD: Well, my favorite superhero always was Spider-Man. However, perhaps more interesting was my number 2 fave, the Green Lantern: “In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight, let those who worship Evil’s might, beware my power, Green Lantern’s Light”

Mr. Ambassador
I really liked your descriptions of the last “Tokai F” sampled today; should I decide to try one of these whites that’s the one I’ll go for!

QOTD - Don’t know why but I always liked the Green Arrow and Green Lantern.

QOTD: I really tried to enjoy comics but could never get that into them (too many NES games to play!) The one that I always latched on to had to be Wolverine though… perhaps it is that we have so much in common: a loner, quick temper, and extremely hairy.

Thanks to the US Air Force, I lived in Friuli for 2 years. Tocai F. was the universal house white wine, very inexpensive & very easy to drink. There are many other wonderful grapes & wines from this region, many hard to find in the U.S. I’m looking forward to future shows featuring these unique wines. Does Maxwell Smart count as a superhero?

Batman for sure. But, I don’t think Wayne had a wine cellar in that castle. Too bad with all that dough$$.

I dig the push to increase trying new types & styles of wine, and an entire WLTV episode dedicated to the new varietal makes the task much less daunting.

QOTD: Batman, because he’s mortal (does that disqualify him from being a superhero?)

Batman without a doubt, though not really a “superhero” per se.

No favorite superhero. When I was a kid, I didn’t read those sorts of comics. Instead, I read Archie.

Look at it this way. Superman and Batman fight crime, save humanity and all that kind of thing. Archie kisses both Betty and Veronica.

Honestly what sounds most appealing? I can tell you, all that super stuff, not being the athletic type, I will never try. Archie’s moves, on the other hand…

Nightcrawler! One of the most complex superhero’s out there. I tend not to go for the big boys, Batman, Spiderman, Superman (gag!), Wolverine, because they are like…N*SYNC, they have their armies of cheerleaders. I go for more under the surface guys (Ringside, The Kills, Muse if we are going to stick to the music metaphor) like the blue demon which probably would remainin obscurity if it had not been for X2. Great episode!
