The new Wonder Woman may not be good enough to air on TV this Fall but the original Wonder Woman is still going STRONG with a thriving career of her own. Lynda Carter, the one and only Wonder Woman, made an in-store appearance at the Barnes & Noble at The Grove here in LA, CA last night to sign copies of her new album Crazy Little Things. At 59 years old, Lynda is still packin’ in fans clamoring to see her … which is proof that she is and will always be the one and ONLY Wonder Woman.

Yesterday we got our first look at the new Wonder Woman costume worn by the new Wonder Woman actress Adrianne Palicki and as you may recall, the outfit was met with a lot of resistance and not a lot of love from WW fans. Today we get to hear from original Wonder Woman actress Lynda Carter and her personal thoughts on new incarnation of Wonder Woman and, as you might expect from a classy lady like Carter, she had only positive things to say about the new WW costume and Adrianne Palicki in particular.

Yesterday was a pretty packed day full of awesomeness. David and I spent part of the afternoon at the movies for an impromptu date and then last night I met up with my dear friend Gillian for a night of entertainment with Lynda Carter — the day was pretty spectacular. First things first … yesterday, David and made our way to the ArcLight to see Watchmen mid-day so as to avoid the crush of movie goers. Forget all the bitchy negative reviews you may read about this film, I’m here to tell you that it is a great film, deffo worth watching:

Having just read Watchmen for the first time this week, the story from the graphic novel was fresh in my mind as I saw the film adaptation yesterday. I contend that the film version is a very faithful retelling of the graphic novel that will surely entertain folks who have read the comics or not. The opening sequence was really very cool … it explained some of the history of the superheros in the film and set up the storyline nicely. In the comics, there is a lot of graphic violence that is not seen in very many comic book titles … but even so, I was never bothered by the images I saw. On the big screen, the violence is brought to life and really drives the point home. In this way, I think the movie version is superior to the comics. As I suspected, there is a lot of penis in this film. I’d say that 90% of the scenes with Dr. Manhattan in them has full frontal CGI p33n swingin’ in the breeze. I must say, it’s refreshing that the male anatomy can be so casually used in a movie like this … it adds to the realism and amplifies the feeling you’re supposed to get from the graphic novel. Of the actors in the film, I felt that Malin Ackerman (who plays Silk Spectre II) came off as a poor man’s Cameron Diaz (you may remember her as the bitchy younger sister in 27 Dresses) and was the weakest of the cast … but overall, I quite liked the performances from all of the actors. The movie is not Academy Award level but it’s really entertaining. As for the changed ending, I have to say that I much prefer the ending in the film to the ending in the book. If you are a purest for the graphic novel, you may be disappointed but I was not at all. I much preferred the way the movie ended … it was more believable and saved the film from getting too cheesy. I don’t have many complaints … the movie is a really good representation of the comics. I’d be curious to hear what real moviegoers who don’t like the film as compared to the graphic novel think. Mebbe I missed something. But, as I said, I really enjoyed the film … I deffo think y’all will too.

After the movie, I had to race home to change and meet up with Gillian for our date with Lynda Carter. After the jump, check out some photos from our fun last night and watch a video of Ms. Carter performing Crazy by Patsy Cline …

Today is going to be a pretty great day … this afternoon, David and I are planning to see Watchmen (since I opted out of seeing it at midnight last night) in the middle of day to avoid the crush of movie-goers who will be showing up at around the 7 o’clock hour … but that ain’t even the best news. Tonight, I’m meeting up with my friend Gillian and we are going to the Catalina Jazz Club to see Lynda Carter perform live in concert:

For those of y’all who aren’t aware, Lynda very famously played Wonder Woman on the TV series of the same name in the late 70′s and early 80′s … and was my first love ever:

Without going into my crazy childhood fandom, let me just say that Wonder Woman was the first woman I ever wanted to marry. I was 5 and I was sure that she would be my wife. As y’all are well aware, my life didn’t really turn out that way but I still have a deep love for WW and Lynda Carter herself. To be able to see this woman live and in person — singing — is a treat I never knew I’d be able to have. I understand that she is releasing a new album and is doing some shows here in SoCal and in NYC to promote it. Honestly, she could just sing the phonebook (to borrow a phrase from Paula Abdul on American Idol) and I’d be thrilled. I’m hoping against hope that I will be able to meet her tonight … if I get a photo with Wonder Woman, I’ll die. Period.

Soooo exciting.

Other than that … the sun is shining, the rain is gone for good and life is good. Happy weekend, y’all!!
