SkylerQ91

I can't wait to hear you rip Batman Returns apart but I'm a tad less happy about Batman Forever. Of all the pre-Begins Live Action Bat flicks Forever is my favourite. Yes, yes I know. Two-Face was ALL wrong and Riddler said 'Joygasm' but only Catwoman was even close to being right in the previous film anyway. Also, I like having more Alfred, I'm Grayson fan boy, Kilmer was the best Bruce/Bat Pre-Nolan series (One Mr. Kane would agree ), and just my overall nostalgia of being a 90's child help me stand by that opinion. But don't leave a line, shot or look uncovered for B&R. :devil:

This is most certainly is the best news I've heard all week. :happy: But let's see what/who they will try to rape next.....

When I first saw this i got really exited then it clicked in my head. The Graysons. More than one, and thus it suddenly became an 'Oh shit.' moment. I can't begin to express how bad an idea this is. Smallville at least had some conflict but what (watchable) conflict is there in the life of the Circus family?! Death by Elephant? Evil sideshow freaks? Poison corn dogs? I've talked about this with a friend of mine and he expressed the same disinterest and disdain saying 'it'll just be a teen drama... so why don't they just make a teen drama and give it another name'! I pretty much agree with that because you know it is much more than likely that they will make him a person in his mid teens played by someone in there early twenties or so. As a big fan of Dick (yes yes tee hee) not DJ (I mean REALLY?) I dread this happening. I don't want Dick to be the star of 'Everwood under the Big Top' or 'Acrobatic 90210'! In reality I'd adore a Nightwing series but The CW needs to pick a francise and stick with it and make it something wonderful. We've gone through Birds of Prey (on WB), and Aquaman plus the rampant rumors of a Supergirl and/or Green Arrow Smallvile spin-off, JUST PICK ONE SHOW AND BLOODY STICK WITH IT!

I'm listening to the episode right now but a few things come to mind that I don't want to forget. 1) In a row?!?!? :happy: (OK, yes it's immature but.... 37!) 2) From what I had heard they did not bring Paul Williams back to play The Penguin because they wanted a more menacing voice to make him sound like more of a threat and not as you put it 'almost lovable'. Now while on the subject of the replacements the new fella was a M*A*S*H cast member from season 6 to 11, is a frequent Disney voice actor playing Jumba Jookiba, Cogsworth, Governor Ratcliffe and many others. He apparently played Martian Manhunter in a unaired (in the US) TV movie/pilot for a live action JL series and in the DCAU was King Solovar in JL. The new Bane, who I do agree was a bit off in both writing and voice despite a lovely actor, was Hector Elizondo who is in most if not all of Garry Marshall's films and reappeared in the DCAU as Lt. Kragger and then again as a version of Hath-Set in JLU. 3) I thought Babs and Bruce slept together but it may have just been Babs' flirtation. 4)Kelly Ripa is not Anne Heche but I felt at the time I watched like she was a very bad voice actress. Dispute wanting to like Rocky I thought much of the things she said sounded very wooden or staged. Hmm just as I wrote that bit (the first time I was thinking AHEAD of the current comments) James says '[she] did a good job', that's a tad creepy. 5) I too miss Renée and wanted an explanation, but it is fun to imagine that the DCAU Montoya became the Question. Impossible with the timeline (and a male one in JLU) but again just fun to think of. 6) Not sure how long it took me to figure out who was the Batwoman but sure took longer than it should have. Nice job, Mike. 7)Alfred is indeed, gold. The humor in it is one of the film's strong points. I'll likely have more to say later on too but so far so good. :happy:

Despite the age of the episode as the resident Disney freak/young stockholder (I mean just look at my forum name) I feel I should add my points, thoughts, and corrections on the Disney bits of Episode #198. -You should see the lines in the summer… UGH. -Pirates changed for summer of 06. Most seem to like or at least not mind the change as other than a bit of score and Davey Jones, Jack and Hector Barbossa were just kind of dropped in. -Haunted Mansions refurbishment was open for fall of last year. I have not seen it but it is getting rave reviews from all who come. If I recall from before it happened the attraction really needed to be up dated to sync up the sound and lots of others things too. They did an update the year before in Disneyland as well which has apparently a few less things because of tech advances in a single year. -I'm still mad about the Pooh ride taking Mr. Toad's place in the kingdom. -Though still cool, Future World trumps World Showcase. -The Living Seas is no longer as such it is simply The Seas with Nemo & Friends which is good because now they don't have that awful video they used to play upon entry. -Martin Short IS from Canada and THAT video is new. The old one was serious, old and very boring. -El Rio Del Tempo was what the ride in Mexico was called and now Grand Fiesta Tour with the Three Caballeros has been getting mixed reviews. I liked both versions but it may be because I'm much more familiar with Panchito & José Carioca than you seem to be because of there appearances on TV and couple of really trippy movies. -Circle of Life opened in '95. Yes. It is preachy and depressing in the meddle but I some how enjoyed it for if only for seeing Timon and Pumbaa on the big screen again. -Animal Kingdom was marked until 2006 as nahtazu (not a zoo) as the shading, treatment, green-ness, amount of displays, and all around everything were better than that of a zoo plus they had rides and 3-D films. -Expedition Everest opened in April of '06 so although it is marketed as new still many other things you did or did not do were more 'brand new' -Have you ever done Mission: SPACE since it opened? It now has a tame non-spinning version as well as the one that fucks people up identifying the two different experiences by Green Less Intense training and non spinning or Orange as the original version. -Finding Nemo: The Musical was written by some of the people who did Broadway’s own dirty puppet show, Avenue Q. The soundtrack for Nemo is actually available on iTunes. -MGM had sued and had been counter-sued a couple of times from 89-93 (not sure of the particulars but you can look into that if you care), the contract was up and even before it was Disney was contractually prohibited from using the Disney-MGM Studios name in certain marketing in which they called it The Disney Studios, and from Walt Disney World President Meg Crofton's mouth 'the new name reflects how the park has grown...’ that’s why the name change. -The Studios are almost universally known as the park that needs the most work done. -Star Tours is rumored to have a super awesome 3D refurb some time in the future which Lucasfilm people occasionally slipping up about it and Anthony Daniels saying he did the voice over for it. I’m currently in the now out of date previews but I look forward to Ian’s segment later on. Great show so far. :happy:

I like the movie much more than Batman: Gotham Knight (which was great in parts but overall meh). I ALSO think Heche was a terrible Lois. On my topic though, cover art is out for the Two Disc Special Edition DVD is out. http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Superman-...l-Edition/10409 It seems to be the just old cover in gold. I'm kind of pissed off about this re-release when they could have just put on more fun crap before. It was not that long ago that the 'old' DVD came out, so I think this had to have been in the pipeline for some time.

I did it twice and I'm still Joker.

I need new Pics but here are three from last year... - Season 4 can't come soon enough! - I'm more a dirty blonde in real life but whatever - Can you guess what day this was for? Yup, that's me.

109. Everyone drinks only one brand of soda OR many kinds of no-name knock-offs with packaging and labelling that is just like the real thing.

That's because he was Namor. It was a fun show. Ah! That makes much more sense. Nobody else around me knew who he was and I'm a DC boy so neither did I. So what did YOU do/buy there?

I love this episode. I’m currently on my third listen to it. Bonny!

Yesterday, I spent my first day ever at a comic book (/horror/gameing/anime/sci-fi) convention! I found out on about Tuesday that my Dad was going to take me. So Friday morning we left and on the four hour drive I listened to the Earth-2.net- The Show about Batman ’66 and took a nap. Listening to that in the car with my dad caused some odd looks and ‘can’t you be quitter’s but when we stopped in to stores like Canadian Tire, 7-11, Blockbuster, and eventually a mall on the way there I could not hold my tongue and was getting far more weirded out looks. When we arrived at the hotel we put our junk in (a really nice one where every room had a Kitchenette) and left for the drive in for something to do for the night. We saw The Dark Knight (for my forth time) which is still incrdibliy enjoable with a 1996 Looney Tunes short ‘Superior Duck’ with a cameo from Superman himself. We left before ‘Death Race’ started because we were tired and it was frickin’ ‘Death Race’. The next morning we left about 8 and got there about 9:10 AM. I meet some geeks (I say that knowing I am one too and lovingly) behind me a few of which were quite good looking. We talked for about an hour as we waited to be let in. when we were I was overwhelmed. It was just how I thought it would look but messier. I thought there would be straighter lines of vendors but they were all over the place. It was awesome! In between asking every vendor if they had a copy of ‘Mad Love’ I looked at other things from really cool old Disney and Archie Comics (which I regret not buying) to dirt cheap Jimmy Olsen’s that were cheap because somebody drew on the cover (mustaches, devil horns ect). I ended up buying Lex Luthor: The Unauthorized Biography ($1), Thrillkiller: Batgirl & Robin: 1, 2, and 3 Complete Set ($8 ), The Official Comic Adaptation: Batman & Superman Adventures: World's Finest (which I don’t remember how much I paid for) and Teen Titans (Vol. 2) #12, #13, #14, #15: 'Then & Now' Complete Set ($8 ). There were people handing things out like 'Chuck' branded pocket protectors free from WB or a comic I never heard of called ‘Looking For Group’ #2. As we wondered we came across Brian Bolland selling sketches. He was not busy but we had seen the price of other people and I sheepishly asked that when his autograph session was how much was it? He said ‘Oh. It’s free. Of course you do need to line up and all that nonsense but it is free.’. I happily thanked him and walked away then grabbed some pizza. After that my dad allowed me to get photo of Henry Winkler which he singed (Rosenbaum or Vandervoort's were out of the question with his money and apparently I spent to much his later for him to agree to a lending of money when I was near out) I asked Mr. Winkler if he thought Out of Practice would ever reach DVD and he seemed to have a disappointed sigh saying ‘I donno, but I loved it.’. We thanked him for the autograph and my dad (a town counsel member) thanked him for doing some public speaking near our town two days prior (despite not being there due to meetings). Henry seemed to have a surprised yet delighted ‘Oh! My pleaser.’ as we walked off. I did more shopping buying Green Arrow: Quiver ($ forgot this too), Watchmen ($15), Batman: Year One (Around $11.50), Green Arrow #35 ($1), Nightwing Annual #2 ($4), Spider-Man & The Black Cat: Evil That Men Do Hardcover (which was to be $18 but since every body ELSE was doing ____ % off the US price he said just gimme $15), and Superman: Lex 2000 ($1). My dad told me to run to the autograph tables since Brian Bolland’s line just opened. This was an hour and a half before be was to sign but I went anyway meeting a group of five people ahead of me who entertained me and talked which made the whole time fly by. While in line we saw a Indy, a Superman and his twin brother who seemed to be trying to be Aquaman but a Dory Purse, a shiny Green Speedo and Spock ears does not a Aquaman make. There was a Meg Griffin, a Princess Leia, a movie style Logan and best of all a really hot couple as Spider-Man and The Black Cat. The Spider-man suit looked purchased and movie style (and I know HE was cute because he would take off the mask every so often), but the Black Cat looked like she jumped right outta my comic White wig, skin tight-ness, side-boobs and all. Those costumes were so professional that there were A LOT more than normal of people asking for THERE pics or ones with them. Brian was 12 minutes late but he was so nice that it did not matter in the least. I shook his hand and gushed over his recolor job, I’m sure he’s heard it all before but he seemed flattered. He signed my Killing Joke 20th and my program (which was using the Killing Joke cover as it’s own one). Somehow my dad was conned into taking a few comics up to him from some jackass collector who had like 75 with him. I would have said ‘screw you’ but my dad did it anyway. That happening I waited for him while looking though the closest box of comics. I only had two dollars in cash on me but after the whole day of asking people and getting no’s, what’s and ‘even a yeha we have it—oh wait I sold that’ I finally found a copy of Mad Love. I asked the man to hold it for me and when my day was finished I ran to him for money to get the book he gave me what I needed and I now am the proud owner of Mad Love paying OLNY FOUR BUCKS! Either the guy did not know how much other people sell it for or there’s something I haven’t found wrong with it but right then I was happy as a clam. :happy: After that we went to the Smallville Panel with Michael Rosenbaum and Laura Vandervoort. They talked about a short film where Michael fucks a blow up sheep, that Laura is back for at least one more episode nest season, Tom Welling drawing pictures in Rosenbaum’s scrpit for the episode he dirceted and awkwardly trying to read it next to an old man on a plane, Tom dricting Laura’s first on screen shot (and how he went one, two, *shoots the presher gun* to get a better recartion), and a prank that Tom pulled saying that in that episode where Lex is in the White House in an alternaite reality he should have hair. They gave him a bald cap with ‘Dick Cheney’ type hair saying ‘You’ve been wanting hair for seven years! Here’s hair!’ . He was flabbergasted saying ‘wha- - I didn’t approve this! Where were the other options? The OTHER wigs?’. He later found out it was a gag and did not have to wear it in the show but ‘[he] looked like Chevy Chase’. After they finished the Q&A they talked about Laura’s medical problems as a three week old and announced that her appearance fee would go to the hospital that saved her life weeks after she was born there as would the items they would auction off. They sold action figures, lithographs, Pictures, scripts, and Tom Welling/Clark Kent’s Jacket. Ironically the ‘Naked Spock’ as Michael called him (the ‘Aquaman’ from before bought Laura’s long sleeve Tee shirt from the set). We had to leave before the Auction was done (as apparently did the stars who needed to run to there autograph booths) because we needed to go to Henry Winkler’s Q&A. We ran up to it and although WE were late so was he. We waited another six minutes or so and before entered. During our waiting time he said something that shocked me. Even though he was poo-pooing Rosenbaum all day and me for wanting to meet him, my dad said how much fun that turned out to be and how funny they were. Anyway, Winkler entered and started out too motivational for my tastes but raised some good points with some nice laughs. I imagine this is much like what he told the board of people in Windsor two days prior as the opening did talk about school and his dyslexia. When he started the actually Q&A part things got interesting. He talked about how there will be a Arrested Development movie if things work out with Fox Searchlight and that he will be on a new animated series from the same team to be aired on Fox. He said that Adam Sandler is a genius who sweats over every detail in his films. He said he can’t sing very well but was just offered to take over the role of King Arthur in Monty Python’s Spamalot. He called Shelly Long a bitch but nobody was sure if he was serious or not because of the tone. I, myself think he was kidding but has that feeling of that old every joke is based in reality or whatever it is. He also said that the origin of ‘Ayyy!’ is when you go to New York one very popular phrase is ‘Fuckin’ A’ to which they only kept the second part. :laugh: After that we decided to go. I was sad not to see the masquerade contest but I was slightly jealous of THOUSE geeks anyway as I was unconsumed but that was my day it was incredibly awesome. You meet so many nice people, get cool stuff and just have a great time. Also on the way back I listened to the Batman review again and slept. :happy:

I was gone the last few days so I did not see it. I highly doubt this will go well. Superman is not a dark character like Batman. I'm thinking that this may turn into the Black suited Superman with S shield Daggers or whatever it was from the production of all the kooky Jon Peters/Tim Burton stuff. I’m very scared of what may happen to our big blue boy scout and sad that Brandon Routh, who was a good Sups and is not in enough, will obviously be out in the cold. I just HOPE it will turn out ok.

I got a DVD of two episodes of The Batman a little while ago for a buck. Never watched it but hey if I DO hate it there's still the case. :laugh: I have only seen one full episode, 'Two of a Kind', it was Harley's first show. I don't care if Dini wrote it, what they did to my poor Harl is inconceivable and idiotic.

Oh I forgot one thing. Since I have one of THOUSE names I kinda should say I'm a dude. I never knew it was a name like that untill Pam Anderson played a woman named Skyler in that show where she worked in a book store.

Even though I think you'd hate THAT too the Inspector Gadget 2 film was a major change from the '99 film. Yes, they still have a talking car and yes Dr. Claw's Claw is the same as the other film but Claw is never fully seen and has a gravel-y voice. Also Gadget nor anyone close to him ever calls him 'John Brown' he is JUST Inspector Gadget. Gadget is inept and Penny (and G2 the new lady Gadget) does/do much of the work. Although I personally liked the first film as an 7 or 8 year old (if I took it a face value as a different interpretation of a Gadget LIKE person and not really the real thing) I always thought Inspector Gadget 2 was how a Live Action Inspector Gadget should be. But perhaps I'll have to pullout my copy and see if I'll have to eat those words. Not sure if I'm all for this new show though. I'll have to see more before I make a judgement.

My name is Skyler Queen, I'm 16 and live near the Windsor-Detroit border (Canadian side). I'm on many a Internet forum under this same handle. I picked JiminyCrick91 as the first forum I joined was a Disney one and Jiminy Cricket was my first Disney Sculpture. I was a big fan of the DCAU as a kid until about the time Justice League came on in Canada. I think I felt I was above superheros by that point ( Jimmy Neutron however was fine ). In August of 2005 I saw Batman Begins in a smaller IMAX near the end of it's run (both the film and the IMAX it's self which was torn down later). This sparked my interest in superheros again getting me to buy a few comics. after a bit I feel back out of comics until Superman Returns. After that film I started to watch Smallville and buy more and more comics. I still feel new to comics but I have been buying Nightwing for over a year and developed kind of a thing for Dick Grayson as a hero, person, and well I'm bi so you figure out the last one (other's I like are Harley, Babs, Ivy, and the DCAU's own Terry McGinnis) . I began to listen to WFP early in the year. In the beginning I was not a fan of the long banter bits and emails at the beginning of the show and stopped listening for about a month. I decided to give the show another chance and listened to it all the way. I was hooked. I have come to love Mike & James's wit and personality yet have found myself being more critical (and strangely sexual) about some of the DCAU episodes. I have even just started to listen to Earth-2.net- The show, picking out old topics that interest me and the newest few shows as well. I only have Seasons One & Two of Batman Beyond, as well as all of the real DCAU movies but Batwoman as I'm waiting on the Complete B:TAS but have found that the show digs up strong memories anyway (with the exception of Trail which I saw again after WFP and although I liked it way back when it really was a clusterf**k with some fun mixed in). Despite subscribing to 15 other regular podcasts (from Disney to The Office to Kevin Smith) as well as about 10 more irregular ones, I always eagerly await the newest WFP and re listen multiple times. I hope my stay at Earth-2 will be as fun as the podcasts from it that I've come to love.

This will make every one ELSE feel old but even I feel old with 10th anniversaries of things like Pocahontas from '95, Batman & Robin from '97 and soon to even be things like American Pie. This makes ME feel old even though I'm 16. I also find myslef saying 'I miss the 90's' ALOT.

I live in Canada but There are 1 or fewer people in the U.S. named Skyler Queen. :ohmy:
