Oct. 25th, 2002 08:11 amApparently Avi Arad has gone off the deep end selling scripts to people. UPN has bought a script for a Marvel hero tv show. No. Don't get excited. Please.
The hero is Night Thrasher. Who? Night Thrasher. You see, he's this rich guy who skulks around and fights crime and has some neat gadgets. No, no, I'm serious. He was introduced in like 1990 in ... Thor, I think. Anyway, he's a punk and is getting his own TV show. I'm not impressed.
Anyway... Party! I will see people tomorrow. I have no idea when people will start showing up or what. If it is too early, I may not be there, as I may be out getting drinks and food and such good things. I'm hoping to have someone there at all times, in the hopes that no one will have to sit outside.

And a better question, why did I mix up the New Warriors and the New Mutants?

Rich guys...

Gates probably has a Batcave-like area in his home already, although there have been no reports of his superhero vehicle coming streaking out of Lake Washington - yet.
Steve Jobs, I put money on him being a superhero.

I wish they were more effective, though.
