3 DEGREES FROM KEVIN BACON

HEROES IN THE NIGHT LINK CAN QUICKLY BE MADE TO "FOOTLOOSE" STAR

Kevin Bacon >>> Rainn Wilson, co-stars in the film "Super" which I saw last night and then had the idea for this brilliant post.

Rainn Wilson >>> Phoenix Jones, met for coffee and then Wilson tazed Jones, as reported HERE.

Phoenix Jones >>> Heroes in the Night, this blog has featured a few entries on Phoenix Jones and the Rain City Superhero Movement.

So there you go! Success!

THE WATCHMAN AT THE MOVIES

MILWAUKEE REAL LIFE SUPERHERO GUEST ON COMEDY/MOVIE REVIEW SHOW

I think The Watchman has a pretty decent sense of humor about what he does and has been a good sport about participating in appearances- he agreed to be one of the hosts (along with Blackbird) for a bonus checkpoint at the Riverwest 24 bicycle race last summer, for example. And of course he and other RLSHs made an appearance at Motionary Comics 2.0 this month. It was at that event that The Watchman met the creators of Half in the Bag, a unique internet movie review show that combines comedy with frank film criticism.

For this week's episode, the hosts discuss the new Rainn Wilson film Super. The Watchman dramatically enters the show around the 16 minute mark, is interviewed and becomes part of the sketch.

RAINN WILSON TALKS PHOENIX JONES

WILSON TELLS SURPRISED JIMMY KIMMEL ABOUT SHARING LUNCH, TAZING WITH JONES
ALSO DISCUSSED- CONFISCATING CRACK PIPES

Rainn Wilson made an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, there to promote his new film, Super, which looks to be the most unflattering take on superheroes this decade. However Wilson spent much of the conversation talking about the famous Phoenix Jones:

Wilson says Jones has "taken 197 crackpipes away from people."
What's up with all this crack smoking in Seattle?
Also:
If I was walking through a parking lot and saw Rainn Wilson tazing Phoenix Jones, I might nominate it for one of the strangest things I've seen.
