Come on Yoda, face your fears/hatreds of Smash Brothers and Burton's Batman. It'd be damn entertaining!
Liked the show a lot, although most of the things discussed went over my head from not being a hardcore gamer or reader. Could there be something a bit more mainstream in the next show, perhaps?
Oh, and do more writing.

Yoda, that was way better. Really enjoyed this episode; especially liked your tirade against what had happened in SW3 that stopped you getting the DVD. That stuff came straight from the heart, and it showed!
Good stuff.

I remember laughing inwardly when I heard Mario's cod-Italian for the first time. I agree thoug; even when every IGN reviewer wants to hear it, I dread the day when I hear Link speak.
"EXCUUUUUUSE MEEE, PRINCESS"

I knew what I wanted to cover and the points I needed to hit with each, but, yeah, for the most part I flew by the seat of my pants. (The fact that I recorded the file at 4:30a on zero sleep didn't help either, I'm sure.)
How would you recommend improving and building my confidence?
The no-sleep kind of hinders things!
I'd just say, seeing as I don't know how you prepared, bullet point the specific things you want to say about something and it should cut down on the pauses. See what Cash says as well - he's done this sort of thing longer than I have.

Interesting concept, Yoda. Not sure what the mentality behind it was, but it was a nice advertisement for the sort of thing Earth-2.net covers.
The presentation got across what you wanted to say, but sounded slightly unprepared. I'm a student DJ and I sounded a lot like that between songs last year, but I've been shown how to improve and it's really worked. If you want to talk about it, hit me up on AIM sometime. I'm Slothian205

Someone's posted this as the plot summary for the film up on IMDB.
Gotham City's crime rate grows even worse, as the former inmates of Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane, as well the employee Dr. Crane, aka Scarecrow, are still at large. The worst of them is Jack Napier, a former comedian who is now a psychotic and unpredictable serial killer who calls himself The Joker, leaving behind a Joker playing card at all of his crime scenes. Bruce Wayne must continue to don the cape and cowl of Batman, as together with his ally Lieutenant Gordon he battles this new threat.Somehow I doubt its validity.

Luckily my PM was in the sent folder. Don't know if I could've faced typing the whole thing out again.

I'm pretty sure I sent you one as well

Unless they set it some years after Begins, wouldn't it be a bit premature to do Bane? I can't say I've read much of him, but surely the breaking of Batman would be the best thing to do with Bane and 2 films into the series seems way too early to try and do that.
I'm really hoping they're sticking to the "original rumours" of having the Joker in this sequel whilst introducing Dent as a means of replacing Katie Holmes so that they can build to Two Face in a third (touch wood). I think the producer's bull-shitting as means of keeping fans interested in a "anything could happen" sort of way. Either that or he's a pillock.
-
Officially up on IMDB although it's too early to be very credible. Still only Bale and Goyer are down.
I get the impression if the Joker isn't in the second one, there might be a lot of pissed off comic fans. Jack or not Jack, the Joker is a crowd-puller.

Second Sight on the Gamecube. Weird storyline, but the guy's psychic abilities rule on so many levels
-
If there's so much talk for casting Kitty Pryde, her part must be being boosted up somewhat.
Considering how long this sequel's been in the works and the cast still hasn't been grounded out, the teaser trailer isn't going to be much.

I can't say I've watched too much Doctor Who, but my best friend is an obsessive so I can say that this is an excellent beginner's guide to the early history of the show. Part 1, that is - I'll edit in part 2 when I've read it.
Interesting conclusion of the Doctors - I always thought McCoy had always been something of a flop, so hearing how he'd done something with the part was informative. Of course, Michael Grade has a lot to answer for....
I've enjoyed what little I've seen of Eccleston (and enjoyed McGann's one-off outing when it first came out - the regeneration creeped me out somewhat) so when I have greater access to television, I'm keen to watch where the series goes from here.
-
My answer's in my sig. Gordon and Bullock are runners up.
-
Tom's basically convinced me to vote for Luke.
- Jedis don't fight to kill, in the first place
- The Luke of Empire couldn't beat Yoda, but the way he came out of Jedi convices me that he could against Yoda in his prime, especially given his record against Dooku and Palpatine.
- Luke's heart meant that ultimately he had more will power than Yoda, who remained detached from his feelings a lot of the time. Consider how he tried to keep Anakin's turn away from Obi-Wan and how quickly he turned to exile rather than risk it all aginst Sidious and Vader.

BUMP: I've seen the sack mask! Dunno if posting it here's a spoiler or not, so here's a link: Sack Mask and other stills

Umm, tough decision. I mean Darth Maul's amazing dialogue and conversation skills definately give him an advantage..........
For trivia fans, Maul's voice was dubbed by Peter Serafinowicz, probably best known to yanks as Shaun's grumpier housemate in Shaun of the Dead.
But yeah, Yoda.

Just got back from seeing this. Either man could take each other, but I'm going w/ Tyrannus because he's the only guy to have owned Kenobi in the entire series.
CoughVadercough.
Kenobi voluntarily let himself be hacked down by Vader. Thus my argument remains intact
-
Vader on this one, although Windu wouldn't make it easy for him in a one on one battle.

You're going to have to point the gun at the actors, the casting director, and the director director for that one.
Yes, Uma Thurman, George Clooney, Alicia Silverstone and Arnold Schwartzenegger. All actors with big screen names.
and Joel Schumacher. A screen veteran who directed the new Phantom of the Opera, Veronica Guerin, Phone Booth, The Lost Boys, and St. Elmo's Fire...
...as well as having experience in the batman franchise with Forever.
Interestingly, you left off Chris O'Donnell there
I'll say this before we go off topic too far:
- Schumacher sucks at comic movies. Batman Forever wasn't bad, but without Jim Carrey's Riddler and Kilmer and O'Donnell doing passably in their roles, the film would've sucked/ been dull. Everything Schumacher got away with in BF, he cranked up to make the 4th one.
- The 4th one was garbage thanks to Schumacher and the script-monkey. With more intelligent handling and a better script, it could have been good and none of the above actors would have been shown up acting-wise.
To tie this back into Spiderman 3, B&R took a risk with having a woman who had a supernatural connection with plants and a man who can shoot ice from a gun, not to mention what they did with Bane. The risk failed as it didn't make any sense, all 3 villains looked pathetic and the Batman franchise failed.
If Raimi went from a man who had steel tentacles on his back straight into a man who got taken over by something from space that makes him look like Spiderman from hell, he'd probably "Schumacher" the Spiderman series. The first two films have done too good a job at building up Parker as a real person, who just happens to have superpowers which are making life even tougher for him. If a man who has morphing sand hands is introduced, I'd find that harder to swallow than Doc Ock but easier than Venom. So I see where Yoda's coming from if they are going with Sandman.
But maybe I'm just reading into things too much.

There's probably a reason why Clayface has never been attempted on a live action Batman film so far. I don't mean to be hypocritical, I'm just curious
Depending on which version of Clayface you pick, Poison Ivy, Bane, and Mister Freeze are equally outlandish.
My point exactly.
We all remember what a success that film was....
-
We've been watching a man with the proportional strength and ability of a spider, who swings around the city with self-produced webbing fluid and sticks to walls. If you complain about Sandman and yet take the above for granted, I think that's hypocritical.
It's more asking than complaining. I think people go along with Spiderman's powers because he's such an established character and won't think to complain because he's the focus of the films. But he goes up against some very extraordinary villains, who are perhaps a bit larger than life to believably carry off (as Yoda said, Venom and Carnage to name a couple). Compared to Batman's rogues gallery, most are just mentally scarred humans who don't have powers. There's probably a reason why Clayface has never been attempted on a live action Batman film so far. I don't mean to be hypocritical, I'm just curious

Only a couple of times and that was months ago.
Episode #5
in Earth-2.net: The Show
Posted
It is so weird hearing people on voicemail! And it's so joyous to hear my email read out on the show!
Good show, liked it more than last week's just because it had stuff that I recognised and was a bit more succinct in it's content.
James: Karioke's the worst shit ever?
I don't do it that much since I've come back from Canada, but I loved that shit! Jenny, get him drunk and make him do it! And make him write more! 
*looks for steak for that impending second black eye....*
