A MARVEL COMICS ANIMATION PRESENTATION
THE INCREDIBLE HULK
"Origin of the Hulk"
"Enter the Gorgon"
SPIDERMAN
Opening Sequence
"Where Crawls The Lizard"
I lived for these cartoons as a child, primarily for the theme songs. I was crazy for theme songs and these are pretty choice. Plenty of TV shows I would watch religiously but only for the first five minutes, after which I'd lose interest and wander off lost in inner space.
Iron Man, the Mighty Thor and Captain America all had their own shows in this series as well, and along with the Adam West version of Batman (Superman in any form was a square, NOBODY liked Superman), these superheroes became an intimate part of my childhood play. The kids in my neighborhood spent hours in backyards, playgrounds and vacant lots pretending to be one hero or another in any number of improvised scenarios -- I liked being Batman best because he got to be Catwoman's boyfriend sometimes when she used her secret love spray on him. My initial introduction to the Marvel Comics universe was through these clunky, barely-animated cartoons because my mom wouldn't let me have superhero comics -- they were too violent. What an innocent time the early 70s were.
Anyhow, these cartoons are as old as I am. None of us have held up well.

From the comments section:
"The video is an excerpt taken from an old (1982) video that made its rounds among evangelical churches. Most of it is completely untrue and what is partially true is sensationalized beyond recognition.
The NCCJ (http://www.nccj.org/) said this about it at the time:
"The film does not - In our opinion - fairly portray the Mormon Church, Mormon history, or Mormon belief. It makes extensive use of "half-truth," faulty generalizations, erroneous Interpretations, and sensationalism. It is
not reflective of the genuine spirit of the Mormon faith."
It appears to us to be a basically unfair and untruthful presentation of what Mormons really believe and practice. "

The Anti-Defamation League of of B'nai B'rith said of the film:
http://www.fairlds.org/The_God_Makers/tagm34.html
In any case, a quick comparison of the "doctrines" in the film compared with the doctrines on the official LDS church sites, lds.org and mormon.org will demonstrate the problems with the film."

MARK LANSING & HIS BORED OF WATER AND LIGHT
"Friday At The Hideout"
"It's Cold Outside"
"Farmer John"
"Rip It Up"
"I Can Only Give You Everything"
Live 2007 ... Mark Lansing leads another band of crack players through the attics of his mind, this time to help raise dough for our long-time ally Steve "The Steve" Simonson, who needed expensive surgery earlier in the year.
A Capital City rock mainstay for decades, The Steve drummed for the Wayouts, the Clutters, the Board of Water & Light, Flushbutton and more (not to mention countless country/classic rock cover bands and lounge acts), then ran sound for everybody else. Sold drums at Music Manor, taught audio engineering at Lansing Community College, manned the boards at Harvest Productions, and legend has it that his mellifluous tones were the first sounds heard on Michigan State University's student-run radio station WDBM when it debuted in 1989. Also bartender, Elvis impersonator, raconteur, viper, voiceover artist, puppeteer, house painter, guru and genius, as well as father to Oliver and husband to Lisa.
Anyhow, a few of The Steve's many friends organized a day-long tribute/fundraiser to help cover his hospital costs, and that's where this footage was captured. All hail the Capital City thinktank!
