Welcome to Wizardly Wednesday!

Mako from the first Conan flick.

FACT: There's no way I can top William Shatner or Mr. T.  In terms of sheer over-the-top ludicrous celebrity, there are none higher.  (The band KISS taken as an aggregate comes pretty close, but eventually I decided to go in a different direction.)

FACT: Wizards are completely awesome.

THEREFORE: Every Wednesday for the next year I will post a picture of some sort of kickass wizard, warlock, witch, sorcerer, mage, necromancer or other magic-user type.

  1. Do a search on Daffy Duck Wizard on YouTube. YOu should get at least one good pic out of that.

    I believe that there's a Mr. Adam West who would like to have a word with you...

  4. Not to mention the Hoff. Who'd say gives both of those two a run. That said, I like the new theme and looking forward to a year of wizards.

  7. Tons of cool wizards out there, looking forward to your presentations. Too bad there is more Christopher Walken out there, but his would more of an auditory that visual experience.

  8. Last night I did a Google on Marc Singer and thought, "Wow, maybe Jeff should latch onto this guy."

    But, yeah...no, Wizards are cool, too.

  15. I think you may have picked the best cinematic wizard of all in your first post. I think the gentleman in my Avatar would make a good subject for this sort of post. Not sure if he ever was a wizard in a movie but I wouldn't be surprised.

  16. Well, my Wednesdays just improved. No one can deny the greatness of wizards. Not without risking a Fireball. Or more traditionally and much more entertainingly, Baleful Polymorph.

  17. Just watched that last night, and Mako just comes off the screen as soon as he's introduced. Very cool.

  18. I am all about this. Awesome idea!

  19. "Wizard of Gore". Don't actually watch the movie unless you're into directors that get off on hating their audiences.
