Passamaquoddy

May 31st is finally within reach! The new attraction that has been slated for downtown Passamaquoddy is getting ready to open. BASSPASS machines are installed and loaded. And extra PERCH POP-UPS and HERRING WHIPS have been ordered for vendors.

The ride through attraction is sponsored by Passamaquoddy's own Buoy Store where they specialize in anything that floats and bobs.

In the picture above, QUODDESIGNER Davey Jonah helps put the final touches on the underwater attraction.

Of course, we will give a full review of the attraction after it has opened, but until then, here is a look at some of the early advertising.

Outside of Passamaquoddy, the film CONDORMAN went extinct long before the Condor species; but not because they didn’t try. 

The film had many of the elements of a successful superhero summer picture: A dashing young hero, stage performer Michael Crawford looking more Willie Aames then Phantom of the Opera, a beautiful damsel in distress- Barbara Carrera- who may or may not be playing for both sides.  (Not that way.. politically),  and a strong accented villain (cause all the best villains have strong accents).  It even has an over the top heroic motion picture score composed by the legendary Henry Mancini.

Okay, most of the screenplay is a mishmash of clichés.  But one element intrigued me.  “Woody”, a comic book artist, tries to fly off the Eiffel Tower with his flying contraption to see if it would work.  This is because he refuses to write it into his “Condorman” comic book if it wouldn’t work in reality.  The result is of course, he becomes Condorman in the process

The film is more GET SMART then James Bond, but it fails to be humorous.  Still, when a film hits you at the right point and you’re just the right age, you’ll find strange allegiances.  For that I suggest Condorman is a nostalgic trip for me.

 The 1981 film’s miserable performance contributed to the end of Ron Miller’s reign atop the Walt Disney Company and opened the door for Michael Eisner.

Hello my friends,

It is great to be back amongst the town I love. While the site has seen some turmoil with Jim who would never be held accountable for his statements and the near miss with Lorien's tiggerriffic color scheme, the town is ready to flourish... Downtown is restored and the Wal-Mart parking lot plans have been sent to 2719 Hyperion.

I have to thank all of you who stuck by me while I was in captivity. We can now movie forward with more discussions of things that effect our community...

Theres a lot to do so let's get on with it.
