Review: 'Captain America' Serves As Marvel’s First, Cool, Avenging Tease!
Before I go off on my review like a fat-man on a stack of pancakes, I’d like to say who knew back in the day (Late 70s) when I wore my very first Halloween costume (Red Skull) that at the age of 36 I’d wind up viewing it on the silver screen and in film form? Back then I was a hairy, hideous, fat, little Ewok child who ran around with a tight-ass costume like a retard saying “Trick-or-Treat” and completely clueless that I was giving Red Skull the worst representation ever. He would have melted me for sure!
