Wonder Woman Film

One of the problems with making a Wonder Woman
movie is deciding what her costume will be.

When are they finally going to make a Wonder Woman movie?

And it is every bit as awesome as say... Batman Begins?

It makes me wonder if the USA will finally have a female president BEFORE a Wonder Woman movie is made... Well, at least I have my priorities straight.

Honestly, I know the powers-that-be have a plan to bring Wonder Woman to film - but only as a spinoff to the Justice League films that are upcoming. The plan is to make the upcoming Superman Vs Batman movie, then make a Justice League movie, and then have off-shoot movies for the various Justice League members.

As to who will be playing Wonder Woman, the current casting for Batman Vs Superman is "Gal Gadot". There was a lot of speculation in the past as to who it might be. The images below were made by fans - including 3 different ideas for her costume.

Artwork of Women Riding Tigers

Paintings / artwork of women riding tigers seems to be some kind of thematic stereotype. Makes me wonder what Freud would think of it.

Paintings of Battle Cat

When I was a kid I remember playing with He-Man / Masters of the Universe... I dedicate this page to paintings of Battle Cat. Battle Cat was four legs of awesomeness.

I especially like the last painting. :)

Soapstone Carving - How To Video

I found the video below very interesting.

The video is a how to video on making soapstone sculptures. I have always wanted to get into soapstone carving, but the tools look a bit intimidating and a huge investment for something that for me would be a bit of a lark. I prefer hobbies that are less expensive to try before getting into them full time.

I suppose if I could find a soapstone carving class somewhere in Toronto then it would be okay, because it would be cheaper and I would have the teacher practically holding my hand while I make mistakes. But getting into stone carving is just too much for me right now.

I will stick with my woodworking projects instead. Wood carving is much easier for me and takes less money to get into.

10 Photos of Cats and Kittens on Pianos

Cats and music, my two loves. Together at last.

Okay one of them is a painting, but the rest are photos. :)

Blue Kitten

I think it would be awesome if we could genetically modify cats so we can make blue kittens.

With or without wings, it would still be impressive.
