I don’t know how much it comes through here on Saturday Morning Central, but I’m a huge Apple fan. Since way before it was even announced, I’ve been looking forward to getting an Apple iPad, and since it’s release is just days away, a lot of videos are starting to come in from app developers. I’m pretty sure that apps will make this more popular than the iPhone, but only time will tell.

In addition to the fact that Apple’s official iPad case looks like a Trapper Keeper sprayed black (please Mead, make some TK iPad cases!), there are a few retro apps on the horizon that warrant me posting this here. Enjoy!

I haven’t posted anything about the Captain America casting frenzy because it seemed like everyday the shortlist changed. SlashFilm is reporting that Marvel has officially hired Chris Evans to play the star-spangled Avenger in a 9 movie deal.

Evans of course played Johnny Storm in the not-so-awesome Fantastic Four movies, as well as Casey Jones in the CGI TMNT movie. Fox is hanging onto that license with a kung-fu grip for as long as they can (think reboot), so I don’t think that will interfere with Marvels red, white, and blue plans for him, but we’ll see.

I’m pretty exited about a period Captain America movie, so we’ll see how well they pull it off.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, the horrible thumbnail image features the awesome Captain America Hoodie from 80sTees.com.

If you grew up with the Nintendo Entertainment System like I did, I’m sure you wasted countless hours blowing into your games trying to get a few more levels of gameplay out of them when they were on the fritz. Usually that didn’t accomplish anything besides making you look like a dork, but now you can relive your old NES memories while playing the harmonica.

Some genius on Etsy has jammed some harmonicas into old NES cartridges, and should be rewarded for his amazing idea, so head over to his shop and buy one or two.

I think I speak for us all in saying, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

I was telling my wife about the Gummi Bears* the other day because she never watched it as a kid, and it gave me the urge to track it down again. For some reason, I never picked these up on DVD, but I think I might have to now.

For your viewing pleasure, here is the first episode of the Gummi Bears: A New Beginning.

Out now from Warner Bros. is the great film Where The Wild Things Are on DVD and Blu-ray. I absolutely love this movie. I think it’s a great representation of being a kid, and I’m so glad to be able to own it so I can watch it whenever I want now.
