We Must Let the Show Go On

by Mike Chary

Hey, one of my more fondly remembered movies, "Hero at Large," starring John Ritter, Anne Archer and Bert Convy is out on DVD this week. "Coolness!!!!" as my old college buddy and Usenet hanger-on Francis Uy used to say. Not because it was a huge favorite of mine, but rather because I referred to it in a Usenet discussion of Atro City when it was not in print on any form of home video, so now anyone who cares can actually see it.

The humor website The Sneeze did a series a while back called Captain Avenger. It was shots of the character in the game City of Heroes saying funny things to other players. Here's the link: http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/cat_captain_avenger.php Turns out the character was based on John Ritter's character in the movie. Oh, and there's actually a good Aquaman joke in here.

Oh, I remember that movie. I quite liked it, but I also had the novilization for a long time - I enjoyed that book and read it a bunch of times.

I'll have to keep an eye out for that DVD.
