I’m not completely sure why I love this series so. If i had to hazard a guess, I think it taps into a subconscious comic book fanboy wish-fulfillment that things like September 11 just don’t happen without some great heroic force rising up to miraculously prevent it or at least mitigate damage and loss of life.
But I digress. Lets talk Ex Machina. Despite my longtime fan status of both the Marvel and DC universes, if I was to be deserted on a desert isle with every issue, past, present and future of ANY comic, I would want an endless (or at least twice as long as Harris’ 80 issue stint on Starman) run of Ex Machina with its creative team of writer Brian K. Vaughn and artist Tony Harris forever intact . I’m sorry if they have other plans, too bad – they must NEVER stop producing this series. Plus it needs to be a movie.
I once wrote an odd short story about it the effect of September 11 on a comic book fan who lived with view of the World Trade Center. If anyone is interested I may post it sometime… Who knows, I may post it even if you aren’t interested.
SPOLIERIFIC COMMENTS: I hate to say I told you so, but I totally called the Elle/Sylar romance last week. Hello Sylar baby momma. I like them together. Now if they’ll only start working for the RIGHT SIDE! I think that they will redeem each other and then get the hell out of Pinehearst and back to Primatech
Not sure how I feel about 10 year old Hiro yet. Sure, it’s a convenient way to recapture some of the character’s adorable 1st season enthusiasm, but it’s a bit transparent. I also didn’t totally get how that happened. I will be rewatching the whole thing today as popapathy missed it last night and I want to watch with him.
I’m warming to a depowered Peter. He’s a heroic enough character that a lack of flashy powers isn’t going to stop him. It doesn’t stop Batman, Robin or Captain America. I’d like to see him show more ingenuity though – there can’t ALWAYS be a handy exposed pipe full of flammable gas. I do hope the coming eclipse does give him a new powerset though.
Also did anyone else notice that Peter now has futurePeter’s scar?!?!? He got it when Sylar telekinetically tossed him out the window after Arthur stole his powers. One mystery solved!
And the full episode via hulu…
I hope we get more info on Sylar’s power – it seems like they are beginning to suggest that the various forms of power mimicry that we have seen (Peter Petrelli – empathy absorbtion, Sylar – creepy brain fiddling, and Arthur Petrelli – power stealing) may in fact be different aspects of the same power. Arthur seems to have a better understanding of the “hunger” that accompanies Sylar’s power than Sylar does. And how is that possible unless they have the same power?
It makes sense when you look at Matt’s dad Maury and the evolution we’ve seen of their telepathic abilities. As they grow stonger and more confident in their abilities, their skill increases as well. I bet Sylar will eventually be able to steal powers just like his dear old biodad.
Every few generations a talent comes along that is so amazing it must be celebrated. Former Rascal exclusive, Matt Summers golden throat makes him just such a legend. He only made about 9 films between 2001 and 2003 before vanishing from the porn spotlight. I still hope he pops up again one day… with that talented mouth and full body orgasm he could have been a contender.
The best example of his cock-stiffening sword swallowing act is when he deepthroats all eleven inches of Chad Hunt’s mammoth meat in the all oral extravaganza Oral Exams. His cocksucking in the over the top study hall orgy scenes from that movie as well as its anal-inclusive sequel, Detention were just as impressive. If he can take all of Chad Hunt, then the cock-hungry boy can probably swallow just about any shaft all the way down to the base without breaking a sweat.
6 foot Florida boy Matt Summers was discovered in 2001 in his home town of Orlando after a one nighter with Rob Kirk at the Parliament House (a gay resort in Florida), who then told Summer “You need to be in porn.” Kirk told Chi Chi LaRue about Summers (and no doubt his oral prowess) and soon he got a call from Channel 1 Releasing asking for photos for an upcoming talent search. In no time he’d left behind 8 years as an accountant and became infamous for deep-throating Chad Hunt.
I personally think his tendency towards wildly convulsive full-body orgasms is kinda hot too. I can’t imagine what that feels like. When asked what sets him apart from his contemporaries, he said… "When I am with someone and I am into it, I let loose and really lose control. When I cum it’s like a grand mal seizure. Cum goes everywhere. Stuff goes flying. I’ve had people call 911. I’ve gotten standing ovations."
His favorite scene for C1R was the oral gang bang in Oral Exams, which makes sense because he also said his favorite thing to do sexually is "Being made to service, and I love to give head." When describing the hottest part of the orgy finale, he said… "There were 12 guys, all really hot. I was lying on a desk, and they were all fucking my face and all came on my face." That scene is one of my all time favorites too – Where did you go Matt? Porn needs that golden throat back in action.
This real life top is an onscreen bottom because "he knows his role" and doesn’t seem to mind playing it at all. Hightlight scenes are his deepthorating Chad Hunt and all-oral orgy in Oral Exams and he is still the center of attention in the asspounding orgy finale of Oral Exams 2: Detention. All other noteworthy scenes can be found in the C1R compilation of his work – Matt Summers Superstar.
