Zorro cuts a dash
"Zorro is the first Spanish superhero," says Antonio Banderas, who revives the role in "The Legend of Zorro," opening Friday. "Maybe he's the first superhero of any kind. He's a combination of legend and fact and the inspiration for the generations of heroes to come." Banderas may be right.
FULL STORY
Gee, Antonio, but you should really check your book-learnin' there, fella. Spain is rich with history and heroes and as far as superheroes of ANY kind, you also might wanna have yourself a look-see at the stuff those ancient Greeks and Romans wrote. Sweet jeez but is this guy a culture starved, uneducated, simpleton or what. Doesn't help that the dimwitted Daily Snooze hangs the obligatory [when wishing to kiss celebrity ass] "he may be right" on the end of such a ridiculous pronouncement. Multiculturalism is just swell with these retards as long as it doesn't mention the founders of western civilization.
PS: As a Zorro...Spanish for Fox, the name of the current President of Mexico, who is NEVER called his actually name by ANYONE in the American media... as a Zorro fan from way back it bothered me to no end seeing this mincing little man parade around as Don Diego de la Vega. And clue-one to Banderas: An Irish pulp-novelist created Zorro, you simple twit, and YOUR Zorro is considered to be the anti-Zorro, and why doesn't he know this...
"Zorro first made his appearance in a novel, The Curse of Capistrano, by pulp writer Johnston McCulley, serialized in the pulp magazine All-Story Weekly in 1919. After the success of the silent film The Mark of Zorro (1920) starring Douglas Fairbanks, the novel was re-released by the publisher Grosset and Dunlap under the new title The Mark of Zorro. (Fairbanks also starred in a 1925 sequel titled Don Q, Son of Zorro, playing Don Diego's grown-up son, Don Cesar, as well as reprising his role as Don Diego.)"
