  1. Yeah, he generally plays the same character with every role he does, which is part of the reason I disliked his Hal Jordan so much. No, I'm sorry the character of Hal Jordan and Angelus or even Angel are completely different portrayels. The parts that he plays up until Hal Jordan had been similar characters. Even the character he plays in Bones has a little of the Angel character in it, but just like Julian McMahan(Charmed, Nip/Tuck and the Fantastic Four films), plays similar characters in his roles, they will always have somewhat similar portrayels.
  2. It's in the very beginning of Robocop II, . I first watched part II on Commercial TV. I would love for you guys to do a Robocop series episode. I'll put out my reviews on all three of the films, the cartoon series and the live action series. It will be fun. I'll even give my opinion on the Robocop vs Terminator Video Games.
  3. I've seen the first film so much, here are the lines you forgot. "Victims, Aren't We All?" is the line that you and Jenny are referring too when Tin Tin is about to die. "Is That Gasoline I Smell?" "No Man" is the lines in the Gideon's blown up scene. "It looks like blood Detective, but you'd probably write it up as Gra-Fi-ti" at Tin Tin's murder scene "Let Go of Me, You Creep" after Eric saved Sarah from being hit by the car. "There's a Big F***ing Bird Over There" "Come Here, Birdie, Birdie" "You Almost Gave me a F***ing heart attack" "What are you waiting for? You got me Dead Bang" "And the Devil saw how goodness felt, goodness felt..." "We Shot you, we killed you dead, there is no coming back, this is the really real world, there ain't no coming back" "I see you have made your descision, now let's see you enforce it" "Ahh this shit's already boring the shit outta me, KILL HIM" In case you were wondering about why all of a sudden Eric's wounds don't go away after his run in with Funboy. The Skull Cowboy explains to Eric that he has a mission, he can't intefere with the problems of the living. When he took the Morphine out of Darla, he broke the rule and his power was weakened. In another cut scene, before Eric kills Funboy, Funboy wakes up and starts to fight with Eric hurting him. Later on, when Eric is completely stripped of his powers, we are made to believe its because The Crow has been captured, but it's actually because his mission is done, because the men directly responsible for Eric's and Shelley's death are dead and saving Sarah from Top Dollar isn't his business. The original ending had him living in pergatory for disobeying his calling to return to his grave and he never is reuinted with Shelley. I actually felt sorry for T-Bird too, he is so sympathetic in that one scene. He isn't remourseful or anything, but you still feel bad. Also the death is so terrifying, can you imagine being tied down, having a flare gernade thrown in your lap and than being run into the water as the car blows up and you know he knew he was gonna die and couldn't do anything about it(like the stepfather's death in Rob Zombie's Halloween). You have to remember Top Dollars sister is a mystic of sorts, so its not too far off to have "The Killer of Killers. " In The Crow: City of Angels, the mystic girl IS meant to be Top Dollar's sister, she has a moment of redemption(or does she)and helps Sarah out. I say maybe because, remember she can see the future, who says she didn't see the death of Sarah if she escaped and out of revenge for her brother's death and what happened to her, she set Sarah up to die. Also the original ending to The Crow II, We have Vincent Perez being condemned to live out eternity on Earth alone, because he chose to go and save Sarah instead of going to his son. I have the DVD for The Crow: City of Angels, it's only available in the box set, which I'm not sure if it's still sold, but it only features the first 3 films. It reads the Director's Cut, but it's not. The director didn't even wanna do a commentary. The director faught to have the original version released, but because of the rights issues with Disney it wasn't released that way. I HAVE THE SOUNDTRACKS MIKE: Mike, if you ever want, I have the main theme composed by Gramme Revill, as well as the first 2 Soundtracks. Just let me know how I can send it to you through a file and I will, its extremely hard to get off of file sharing programs(trust me it took me hours). Great theme. Or like you were going to do for me when I almost ended up in the hospital, I'll burn them for you and mail them to you. Lol, I didn't know Ghost World was based on a comic. Wow, I liked that film too. Thanks Mike for that tidbit. David Patrick Kelley who played T-Bird was notable for me as a young kid because he played the friendly homeless poet named....drum role please.....Double-T in the Mystery Solving PBS Show Ghostwriter...Word, lol JENNY!!!!! HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU DON'T CARE FOR ROBOCOP!!! Sacrilage...lol Umm, Mike, John Glover was in Robocop II, not Robocop I. He was also in Gremlins II: The New Batch and the dismal Batman & Robin.
  4. It's not a big deal. Oh, and Wicked Prayer sucks fucking ass! Jen and I gave it a shot this evening, and, yeah, we only got about halfway through. This is the first movie in a very long time (ever?) that I stopped watching due to poor quality. Abysmal is the only word I can think of to describe it. If this is how Boreanaz portrayed Angel, yeah, that's not making me want to see either series. Well Boreanaz in the series Buffy and Angel had a version of his character called Angelus who was the souless version of the vampire character. In the series he relishes and plays around before killing or torturing his victims. This character is just a hyped up version, who happens to be human, not a souless vampire.
  5. Congrats on the winner of the contest. I wonder why DC and Marvel didn't lend a hand in giving prizes. I haven't yet reached the comic status most of you'se are, so all of the comic companies mention I have no idea what they are. Suicide Girls, I know because I like Goth Women(even though I don't go on the site, I actually found out about them because they did an album booklet). I haven't managed to pick up The Crow comics yet. I have seen the films and cringed at each one after the first. Here are my thoughts on all of them: The Crow (1994) Brandon Lee, just like his father Bruce Lee leaves us with a film that will define him as an actor forever. Brandon Lee was a great actor, but due to the tragic circumstances on the making of the film, he is most defined here. Lee plays the character of Eric Draven, a "Nice Rock N Roll" guy who meets an untimely death on the eve of his wedding with his one true love(who dies hours later). First off, I wanna correct something, Eric Draven is NOT The Crow, the film does what the Frankenstein films (Universal and Hammer Films)and refers to power the main character is driven from. Eric Draven is given his strength and power through The Crow, in the comics and in deleted scenes Michael Berryman played The Skull Cowboy, a mentor of sorts to Eric who instructs him on his mission and keeps him on track. The setting of the film is great, its dark, gritty and even depressing. It's in color, but due to darkness of the film it keeps the Black & White tone of the comics very well. The music is excellent, probably the best in the whole series. I am not a fan of Grunge Rock, but the tracks here seem to fit with the film. Each character that are brought into the film are given a great amount of time on screen(watch out for a pre-Candyman Tony Todd). Michael Wincott and Bai Ling are definately one of freakiest villains I have seen onscreen in a long time and give an excellent performance as the incestrual couple(their brother and sister, with the same father). The character of Gideon in the comics was modeled after cameo actor Jon Polito and here he plays Gideon and he does an awesome job, no death has been sweeter tha his in this film(except maybe T-Birds). Gramme Revill's score on this is so poetic, it's creepy and operatic at the same time. I actually have this as my theme score on my myyearbook profile. Ernie Hudson manages to grab himself a winning performance after almost being type-casted as Winston in the Ghostbusters films. James O' Barr had a large part in the production of this film and it shows. The plotline for this film was remade in a way in the TV Series The Crow: Stairway to Heaven in a less than dark way, but the TV Series was actually done really well. The ratings were high, but because of the lack of enthusiasm from the studio and the uncanny and sometimes disturbing resemblance of the actor Mark Dacascos to Brandon Lee the series was cancelled after only 1 Season:( I won't continue with this review since I've said pretty much everything needed to be said about he film, so here is my score of the film 8 out of 10 points. The Crow: City of Angels (1996) Okay, I will go on here and say that I really liked this film. When you step aside and you don't compare it to the original it really is a decent film. The problem here is that the Producers and of course Dimension/Miramax(still owned by Disney at the time) really screwed the final cut of the film up. Many of the scenes that gave more exposition were deleted, so much so that when the Director was asked to do a commentary on the film for the DVD he said no. When you here the commentary for the film its a negative look on the film. Vincent Perez in my opinion does a great job as the new man who is given the powers of The Crow. This time around Ashe Corvin and his son witness a murder and are shot dead and left for dead by the group. With the help of survivor Sarah(played in the first by Rochelle Davis and now by Mia Kirshner, also this is the only connecting film)Ashe is given the look Eric Draven donned in the original. The film this time is even darker than the original and has shades of yellow in the dark city streets, which in this we see more of a wasteland version of LA, once again giving this a timeless feel. The late Thuy Trang who made a huge name for herself as Trini, the Yellow Ranger in the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series, makes an Elizabeth Burkely type opposite character move here. In this film she's a sick pain inflicted type of girl. Also Iggy Pop(who also contributes to the soundtrack)plays another villain who just like Funboy in the original(he actually auditioned for the Funboy role and didn't get it)is always on drugs. The main villain in this film is no Michael Wincott, but he holds his own. We get to have for one last time the Gramme Revill Score in this film as well, which I love and furthers keeps in continuity with the original. During the 90's Dimension Film/Miramax was owned by Disney and for whatever reason started to first ruin a franchise than release nothing but Direct to Video sequels. Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers was the first to be butchered in editing room(with 6 Different Versions of the film), The Crow: City of Angels was the 2nd to get this butchered treatment, 30 minutes of the film was cut and very little people have seen the footage. Dimension has said plenty of times they wanted to release the original version, but Disney still owns the rights to the cut footage. Ever since the box office failure of this film Dimension has continued to released Direct to Video sequels. Hellraiser: Bloodline was the last in line to get this treatment and have D2V Sequel treatment. We also got a slew of music videos featuring scenes from the film starting from Hole's "Gold Dust Woman" and going to Above the Law featuring Frost's "City of Angels" and none were featured on the DVD release:( I will give this film 5 out of 10. The Crow: Stairway to Heaven (1998-1999) This is virtually a lighter remake of the original film and comic by James O'Barr and is done pretty well. The story is stretched out, so the film's plot is given a Season long story arc. The series was the studios attempt to cash in on the success of the film series and although it did really well in the TV Ratings, the studio decided their interest had peeked an cancelled it. Each episode was 42-43 minutes long and rounded out to 22 Episodes, making it the short lived, but highly rated TV Series. Some have speculated that another reason for the cancellation was the remarkable resemblance of actor Mark Dacascos to that of Brandon Lee when donning the make-up and even at times without the make up. I haven't seen the whole season yet, but it is available on DVD and on AOLTV site. The series so far, for is incredible, it may not be as dark as the original film or even the comic books, but from what I heard its a closer adaptation to the comic book(minus the Skull Cowboy again). The way Eric Draven is given the make up here is cool too, he basically just wills himself to develop the make up. I will go on a limb here and rate this series a 7 out of 10. The Crow: Salvation (2000) This sequel is what began the real decline of the series and brought a sense of commercial filmmaking. I still enjoyed the film, as it does try to give it a murder/mystery type story to it. Eric Mabius plays Alex Corvis, a man wrongly accused of the murder of his girlfriend Laurin Randall(played by Jodi Lynn O'Keefe)and is sentenced to death by electric chair for her murder. He is returned by The Crow to find those who killed her and caused his death. To do this he goes after the men who on the stand as "Witnesses" and begins his search for a man he believes killed her, a man with a strange tatoo or peircing. In this film with no connection with the original film, we get a new way the character dons the make up we've seen in the previous films. Due to te extensive burns, his face peels off in the fashion that the make up is put on. Pretty cool too. The one problem, I had with the film was the famous faces we see. The previous films had star power, but weren't so high profile. Eric Mabius I don't think made Resident Evil and this film was released before Kirsten Dunst first appeared in Spider-Man, but other actors here who had garnered fame are Dale Midkiff(Pet Semetary and Elvis and Me), Fred Ward(Tremors, Tremors II) and William Atherton(Ghostbusters films, Die Hard I & II), who did great jobs in this film, but I feel were too high profile. The music here is pretty decent also features high profile artist, like Rob Zombie who remixed his hit "Living Dead Girl" which was made into a music video, not featured on the DVD, but is on his Special Edition version of Hellbilly Deluxe album. Being that this has no connection with the original(except for one reference)we don't get Gramme Revill's score:( Fred Ward is an excellent villain here, very creepy and some of the visuals are still good. Sadly because of the previous film this was release Direct to DVD, but it actually fits in it too. Here I will give this 5 out 10. The Crow: Wicked Prayer (2005) Okay this will be a short review, as this film SUCKS, almost nothing about this film is good. I found myself bored as f*** when watching this. It was given a one week theatrical release in Seattle, Washington and was released on DVD a little bit laters. Just like in the previous film, we get high profile actors. Edward Furlong(T2: Judgment Day, Pet Semetary II and Aerosmith's "Livin on the Edge"), David Boreanaz(Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Bones TV Series). Tara Reid(the American Pie films), Danny Trejo(Rob Zombie's Halloween, The Devil's Rejects), Emmanuelle Chriqui(Wrong Turn, On the Line), Dennis Hopper(Speed, True Romance), even Macy Gray(Spider-Man). While I enjoyed the performance from David Boreanaz and Danny Trejo, the rest of the film sucked. This film did do one thing and that was give us the look of what John Connor in T3 if Edward Furlong was given a chance to play him in the film. Ok basically the film takes place in a run down Reservation site where much of the land has been polluted to almost unlivable conditions. Danny Trejo is the man who everyone looks up too and the father of Emmanuelle Chriqui. The beginning of the film starts off with the reservation going through preperations for the Raven Festival, Jimmy Cuervo an ex-con who was jailed for the death of a would-be rapist and hated by everyone except Lily(Emmanuelle Chriqui)is preparing the leave town as his probation is ending and wants to take Lily with him(they have been secretly having a romance together). On the night that he is preparing to leave with her his old pal Luc Crash(David Borenaz) and his group of Satanic Worshippers come by and kill them in a Satanic Ritual, that will endow Luc with all the powers of Satan and help the anti-christ be born into the world. Jimmy is brought back by The Crow's powers and dons the make up similar to the Raven Festivals insignia(which amazingly is the same as Eric Draven's make up)and heads out to destroy them one by one. Okay, the studio even thought this fil, sucked, it sat on the shelf for a long while before being released(due to fan request). Dennis Hopper in this is so cartoony I was shocked that he played in this piece of crap, but than I saw his similar portrayel in "Land of the Dead" and thought, wow he must have sunk bottom in his career. The music was terrible, the acting was over the top much of the time. The only solid performances here are from Danny Trejo as the grieving father, who becomes an ally to his once hated Jimmy and David Boreanaz, who takes his Angelus persona from Buffy and Angel and gives it a heartbeat(fans of those series will know what I mean). So far, my review on this film is a better read than watching the film. So here is my score on this piece of filth 2 out of 10(the 2 are for Boreanaz and Trejo).
  6. Hey I know this is a bump in the forums, but after your review on JL: The New Frontier and seeing that you have reviewed the TMNT history. I thought I'd listen to a few others. In Rob Zombie's Halloween there are three versions. The theatrical edition that you are reviewing in this episode, the Unrated Version which is the DVD release and the Workprint Version. First off, I must say YES!! Someone else likes it and ISN'T comparing this to John Carpenter's Version. I hate that, this is not a remake, the last half hour is, the rest is completely new. In the 2 other versions seperate from the Theatrical Version, the nurse who is killed with the fork, because she does taunt Michael seconds before he kills her. She's worse than Nurse Ratchet, lol. In the "Workprint Version" Michael escapes by saving another patient from being raped by two orderlies and the Danny Trejo character doesn't die. Also Michael's older sister Judith is played by the girl who played Young Jenny in Forrest Gump(didn't she grow up nicely). Jenny remember in the Sleepaway Camp sequels, Angela killed plenty of counselor's with a stick(actually it was the same exact stick in both films, lol they were so low budget). So I'm sure through internal injuries he could have died, with all the jump cuts, alot of time could have passed before he stopped hitting him. What you have to remember is that Michael doesn't kill without his mask on, in a psychiatict type way, Michael, Michael himself isn't killing these people, The Shape is. When he finally captures Laurie at the end, he takes his mask off and gives her the picture of them. When she turns on him(not knowing he's her brother), he put the mask on before going after her. So Michael isn't really the killer in my mind. I think Michael's stepfather is tied up with ducktape without waking up is because he's pissed drunk. Drunk so much that he is unwakable(except from being killed, lol). I thought this was a great death, because the stepfather was an ass and his death was gruesome, because he couldn't do anything to stop the bleeding. Judith's boyfriends death was a bit weird because he was actually nice to Michael, he didn't mean to screw him out of his treat or treating, but Judith I'm guessing is the one who wears the pants. Michael is driven to kill Judith(in the end), because Judith begins to smack him around because he's wearing the mask and not answering her. Malcolm McDowell(Metallo hello, lol), did a decent job at portraying Dr. Loomis, could have been better, what made me kind of twitch with his performance was that toward the middle when Michael escapes Dr. Loomis seems to be advertising Michael to make money. Donald Pleasance(the only thing I do compare)didn't do that. Tyler Mane was incredible as Adult Michael, I can really say he portrayed Michael better than Ken Kirzenger did with Jason in FvJ. He's now the Kane Hodder of this new series(if they make sequels). The actress who played Laurie did a decent job, BUT and its a big but, she is annoying. I mean I understand not playing it off like Jamie Lee Curtis and its made to be updated, but don't completely go the opposite, she's annoyed, I wanted her dead. I felt more bad for Judith's death than her being chased. The big plothole with how Michael knows that Laurie is his baby sister is never explained and its annoying, this is the same problem with the original Halloween. In the original Halloween by John Carpenter she was just a babysitter, she wasn't his sister until part II. Michael goes after anyone who taunts, teases or tries to stop him. Linda and Annie at one point taunt Michael when Laurie notices him following them. Remember Annie points out her father is the Sheriff and he walks away. The boyfriends were killed for being there. You have to remember Michael has the mind of a kid, so his kills are immature. Annie lives in this movie. I think due to her popularity with Halloween fans, they decided to let her live and made up for it with other deaths. I was actually glad with this, because in Urban Legends she dies in a bad way. The ending was incredibly drawn out and this is most likely why many fans have critisized it negatively. There is a different ending I think fits better, where we do see Michael's humanity again and he is shot down. Halloween(1978) was before A Nightmare on Elm Street(1984). Also the rule is that the final girl in a horror film pushes sex away and drinking DURING the movie, but outside the movie its different. Remember in Scream, Wes Craven had Sidney Campbell have sex with Billy Loomis and than survives. The heroine surviving because she isn't drinking or having sex is because she isn't occupied with that stuff and is able to think clearly. Loomis doesn't die, you can see him still breathing. In the original ending Michael does let Laurie go, but is shot down by the Sheriff and police. Thumb in the eyes is a Jason death. Loomis was in Halloween I, II, IV, V and VI. He didn't appear in anymore because Donald Pleasance died during the making of part 6 in 1995. Since your system on here is different from WFP, I'll give it a 3 out of 5 or 6 out of 10 for WFP rating.
  7. Yeah, I know, but hey we got the answer right. lol
  8. I'm not sure I said the movie was based on the cartoon; if I recall, I said it was produced after the cartoon and I would like to have seen (and would still like to see) the cartoon continuity brought into movie continuity (at least in the form of a nod or two). If you can provide a direct quote (noting the time at which I said it, please) of me saying the movie was based on the cartoon I'd appreciate it, 'cause I honestly don't remember saying that. Then again, this week has been a blur. That factoid was in the back of my head during recording and I almost mentioned it, but I wasn't sure of its validity. So it was left unsaid. That's the exact reason I'm hesitant to put 101 out this upcoming week. Listeners will need at least a week to go through 100, and I don't want to hit them with another long episode right away. The movie is based on the darker original comics, The cartoons of the 80's lightened the TMNT, so when New Line Produced the first film they kept it dark and gloomy with little funny moments.
  9. Hello guys, great start in Bizarro talk, lol I think many of those who like the S: TAS would have known what you were saying after thinking about it for a minute. I sadly haven't had the money to buy a Wii I have been wanting one and a Nintendo DS, but money it tight, so I haven't experienced the Wii Remote. Super Mario Galaxy and future Sonic games are my big reasons to get Wii. PS3 is already beating XBOX, one reason is the games on PS3 are much better and the other reason is XBOX supports the HD DVD format(which is losing in the Format War)and PS3 supports Blu-Ray. I loved Episode 199 of Earth-2.net The Show, that helped push me to watch the film on the site I watched it on. I was in awe at the JL: The New Frontier film. I WOULD LOVE a commentary on the episode "World's Finest" I would watch and listen to every commentary you do on this episode, definately. I agree that Kevin Conroy is THE best actor who has voiced Batman, but I do have great admiration for Jeremy Sisto's performance in JL: The New Frontier, he's excellent. * Blast From the Past Parts 1 and 2....why didn't they just call them Ursa and General Zod? Still an okay episode, it's a classic way of how the wrong person having Superman's powers can be a problem. It also points out how much of a "Boy Scout" he is, since he releases her because she did her time. The voice acting in the episode is decent, aside from the regular voice actors, we get some okay new voice acting. Ron Perlman played the voice of Clayface in B: TAS. I would have to give this an overall score of 4 out of 10. * Prometheon, awful episode. Everytime I watch this episode I feel like I'm wasting 20 minutes of my life. I don't even want to continue on this review, so 1 out of 10. Livewire, one of my favorite episodes of the DCAU. Lori Petty's voice is very addicting to hear through Livewire's mouth. Perfect voice acting. I really wish there would have been more episodes featuring this character in the JL and JLU. Very colorful character. The voice acting, animation and pace are just right in this episode. This would be an awesome villain to be featured in a live action movie, if they can pull it off right. Remember Superman III had a villain in a sense that had electric powers, but that's it. I give this episode 6 out of 10. * Speed Demons, well this wasn't a bad episode at all, this was fairly good episode. This gives us an opportunity to see Superman team up with another DC Superhero, while at the same time fighting one of his villains. I do believe this may have been Bruce Timm's attempt to create another series, as well as just expand the Universe. The Flash is one of my favorite characters and loved the TV Series in 1990. The animation is done well, we get the Wally West Flash, so we get some laughs(but no too many) and Miguel Ferrer as The Weather Wizard(he played The Weatherman in the Justice League of America Live Action pilot) is definately the best part of the episode. Grant it Michael Rosenbaum is the best man to play the voice of The Flash(as well as a Young Lex Luthor), but this voice actor is decent enough. I'd have to give it 6 out of 10. Identity Crisis, I enjoyed this episode. The introduction to Bizarro could have been better, but this was a great episode. Tim Daly manages to play two characters in one episode well. We see the character of Bizarro in a very sympathetic way. He isn't a villain really, he believes he's the real Superman and you feel bad at the end. Having Mercy naming him Bizarro is funny, considering she was insulting him. The future Bizarro episodes continue to develop the character well. 7 out of 10.
  10. Sorry, I was on Amazon and didn't see anything about any special thing about the Absolutes, so the only difference I saw(besides the amount of pages)was the cover format. Thanks for clearing it up. Now I may actually get the Absolute edition, I like all that Special Edition stuff.
  11. It's funny how the Two Volumes of The New Frontier are between 15 to 20 dollars each, but the Absolute Edition, which is both Volumes together is between 50 and 75 dollars, all because its a hardcover. I will be picking up the two seperate volumes.
  12. KEVIN CONROY is the voice of Batman/Bruce Wayne in Batman: Gotham Knight......this is exciting news. Now I HAVE to see this, Anime or not. I wonder if Mark Hamil will have a guest voice appearance, that would be awesome.
  13. Here is the first look at Batman: Gotham Knight. You know, I'm not a fan of Anime, but this looks pretty damn good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I5744WCaxA
  14. OMG, I just got done watching this film and WOW, this was awesome. This is what animation was meant to be. The animation is crisp, following along with the way the characters looked back then. The stories focus remained consistant with each character, not staying on any character for too long, but giving each their own time. The music is steller and gave it a timeless quality that most animation, not even Disney has ever given. WB and Bruce Timm and Co. crammed as much of the JLA as they could and did it well(I hope the Live Action one takes as much care). I must applaud Andrea Romano for once again choosing excellent voice acting on this project, she once again shows us her DCAU Voice Picking Talents, that were unfortunately missing from Superman: Doomsday. Each actors/actresses voice, seemed to just blend in with the characters, even Jeremy Sisto as Batman. I actually have to hand it to Jeremy Sisto the most, he went into a role that was dominated by Kevin Conroy and made it his own. I will always put Kevin Conroy on top as the best voice acting Batman, but Jeremy Sisto is my second choice(even over The Batman's voice actor). The plot from what I've heard is very faithful to the comic series of the same name and makes me wanna go pick up a copy of the collected Series. I was listening to Earth-2.net's review of the film and they mentioned it is available on paperback, so I know what my next Comic Novel to read will be (I am currently read Batman: Dark Victory). I have been strapped for cash this month, so I wasn't able to pick this up on Blu-Ray or DVD, so I found a site that is showing it for free. For anyone who wants to watch it and don't have the money to buy or rent a copy, here is the link: http://www.supernovatube.com/view_video.ph...wkey=1432834943 My score on this will be 10 out of 10. I was honestly just blown away, if DC and WB keeps this up, Marvel will begin to look like Sega in the end.
  15. Here the official trailer link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6qYtid7zh0&feature=bz302

  18. Hello guys Congrats on the promotion James, hope you'll still have time for this podcast. Wow guys, freezing rain is the worse, my immune system is tricky and whenever it rains, I get sick. I hate it too. Hope Jen is doing better. Wow, Chris great review on The Batman's version of The Terrible Trio and yes, this version is better than B: TAS's version of The Terrible Trio. I really hope that The Batman's ending isn't a result of the Writer's Strike and that we will be getting a Justice League spin-off. The whole issue with The Joker and what should be done after The Dark Knight. What they should do is just put in a story that he changed his face, the only thing is, is that now the actor would have to portray The Joker, while imitating Heath Ledger's Portrayel Well here are the reviews: The Main Man (parts 1 and 2), OMG, this is a great episode. Lobo is one of my favorite characters. The Preserver isn't much of a character, but hey, it was a way to introduce Lobo and now Superman has animals to place in his Fortress of Solitude. Brad Garrett is terrific, he brings a whole new dimension to a character that could have been easily forgotten. The animation is great, the voice acting is good. In response to Superman's ability to fly a rocket, remember in Superman: The Movie, when Kal-El is going to Earth he is being told the history of Earth. Perhaps this is the same thing that happened to the DCAU Superman. nyway, this is my overall score for the episodes 8 out of 10. My Girl, this episode was decent, my whole thing is, when did Lex suddenly start dating Lana, it does seem like Lex does seem to care for Lana, but how long has it been since the last episode? Joley Fisher portrayed the voice of Adult Lana Lang and does pretty good. I don't know, I don't have much else to say on this episode. I give it 5 out of 10. Tools Of the Trade, like you say in the podcast, the best thing going for it, are the debut of key characters in the Series. The whole Darkseid/Manheim alliance in my opinion is just Darkseid looking over the Earth's defenses and using Manheim as a way in. The character of Dan Turbin is definately a one of a kind character. We don't see characters in cartoons that we are allowed to connect with and than kill them. I will be giving this 5 out of 10. Two's A Crowd, pretty good episode. The voice acting is decent, the animation is stellar, but my problem is (other than what James pointed out), is that since when would any jail allow an inmate have cable TV in a cell? I'm not having much to say on this episode that isn't being said already. Another 5 out of 5
  19. See, I don't even have that, lol
  20. You need a credit card don't you to have a Paypal account?
  21. I don't have an Itunes account because you HAVE to have a credit card, even to just write reviews of the pocast, that really sucks. I would give WFP, top rating if I could. I did also see there's a DCAU Commentary podcast, that's a cool idea, but the guy only reviews selected episodes and from what I saw, he's only done 1 B: TAS.
  22. I just found this out, when looking up info on the comic book series The Mask, I found an area where it mentions this Here is what I found on Wikipedia: Joker/Mask (#1-4) Now I would like to know if this has been collected in one paperback novel, so I can buy it, it looks like a good story.
  23. What they should do is make a Two hour finale in a movie form. This will end the series properly, it deserves that. I have a feeling that Ed Deline would have made a return during Season 6, at least in a cameo. His character was just hiding out, not dead.
  24. love the Terminator Series, the writers have gotten the right tone and speed with the characters and the structure of the show. Each character new and old have been given very compelling background storylines. Each episode grows upon the "Good" of the previous episode and adds more. I love the character of Cameron the most, she is the anti-hero. She's a character who you find yourself liking and than in the same episode not liking, just like John Glover's Lionel Luthor. I nthe latest episode, I found myself saying to myself "Wow, she really is nothing but a machine with a mission." When she let the Ballet teacher and her brother die. Brian Austin Green has been a great addition to the cast and if they begin giving Picture Credits in Season 2, I hope he gets one. I feel like he will be a part of the show for a while. No complaints on this series so far, I just have to wonder if James Cameron will ever want to write or direct an episode or two. That would be awesome.
  25. Ok, well after listening to the podcast called World's Finest Podcast, and hearing their enthusiasm for Clancy Brown's Lex Luthor I thought I'd do what I did with Superman/Clark Kent and give a little film history on the character of Lex Luthor. In 1950, Kirk Alyn reprised his role as Superman in the live action serial Atom Man Vs Superman , this film would also mark the very first live action appearance of Lex Luthor(he was called Luthor, had no first name), here he isn't a billionaire, he was a mad scientist. He was portrayed by Lyle Talbot. Luthor got his name extended to Lex Luthor, but remained the Mad Scientist when he returned in the mid-70's to 80's in the Animated Series Superfriends and Challenge of the Superfriends(in which he is the leader of the Legion of Doom), here he was voiced by Stan Jones Lex Luthor would be given his most remembered portrayel of all by Gene Hackman in the Christopher Reeve series of films of the 70's and 80's These films are: Superman: The Movie, Superman II: Theatrical Cut, Superman II: Richard Donnor Cut and Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. In the 1988 Ruby-Spears Animated Series he was voiced by Michael Bell. 1989, would give us a glimpse of Young Lex Luthor, but not the scientist Lex Luthor, the spoiled rich version we have come to know in the last 20+ years. In the first season of The Adventures of Superboy Scott James Wells played the character, when the series came back for a Second Season Sherman Howard took over the role and continued the role until the cancellation in 1992. When WB and DC cancelled The Adventures of Superboy it was mainly to make way for a new series that would run on ABC from 1993 to 1997 called Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman , here Luthor was portrayed by John Shea (who would later play as one of the X-Men inspired Mutant X)in a much more serious matter, than what we saw in the Superboy series. In 1996, Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, who had given us the definitive Batman in the Animated Series, decided to continue more great animation with Superman: The Animated Series , here he was voiced by Clancy Brown(Highlander, Shawshank Redemption fame)he was so recoginized that he returned for the role in 2001's Justice League, 2002's Justice League: Unlimited and later in 2007's The Batman(this is noted because it's outside the DCAU). The DCAU Lex Luthor was also the first time we saw a combination of two eras of different Luthor's in one Luthor. In the Superman: The Animated Series, we got the billionaire, in Justice League and Justice League: Unilimited we got to see his Mad Scientist version. Meanwhile, while Clancy Brown was impressing us with his voice talents, Michael Rosenbaum was impressing us with his live action portrayel of a Young Lex Luthor in the series Smallville, Michael Rosenbaum played the voice of Wally West/The Flash in Justice League and Justice League: Unlimited in one episode of JLU called "The Great Brain Robbery" a transferring of the minds, caused The Flash to end up in Lex Luthor's Body and Lex Luthor in The Flash's body, so for this episode, we get a Flashed Version of Lex Luthor by Michael Rosenbaum. Seth Green at some point in this area portrayed the voice of Lex Luthor in an episode of Robot Chicked entitled "Toyz in the Hood" In 2005 Brian Dobson voiced Lex Luthor in Krypto: The Superdog In 2006, WB decided to bring Superman back to theaters with Superman Returns while much of the film had problems, mainly through acting abilities, Kevin Spacey managed to keep the charisma of Gene Hackman's portrayel and spin it to his own craziness. He has signed on to appear in the sequel Superman: Man of Steel scheduled for release in 2009 In 2006 Bruce Timm and Co. decided to create the direct to video film Superman: Brainiac Attacks, due to scheduling conflicts Clancy Brown could not portray the voice of Lex Luthor, so we got Powers Boothe In 2007 the animated series Legion of Super-Heroes introduced a female called Alexis, the richest girl in the galaxy. Although, she's not Lex Luthor, she's at times an immature female version, she's also voiced by Tara Strong who voiced Batgirl in the New Batman Adventures, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman and Gotham Girls. Also in 2007, James Marsters(famous for his portrayel of Spike in the TV Series Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel) gave us his voice talent *cough* when voicing Lex Luthor in the PG-13 Superman: Doomsday. He has gone on to do a great job in portraying Milton Fine/Brainiac in Smallville So now that I have made this info out, what is my top five: 5. John Shea 4. Stan Jones 3. Kevin Spacy 2. Gene Hackman 1. Michael Rosenbaum THE BEST. Clancy Brown
