Well that is just plain dumb. What about sub shops who have been offering superhero samwhiches for like forever. Bleh!
Although I did love the Avengers…. Just saying.
In a way it might be best that Johnathan Frid died before the movie came out. He would have been so disapointed.
Well I was glad to see that Lexx at least made the cut. 😀 78) Lexx (1997-2002)
Weird and completely off-the-wall, Lexx starred Michael McManus as Kai, an undead, emotionless assassin and Eva Habermann (later Xenia Seeberg) as love slave Zev, and began as a series of TV movies. The crew of organic spaceship Lexx battle a hostile insect race while getting their rocks off and satisfying their other appetites. More European in its approach, Lexx found a firm fanbase, but failed to make much mainstream impact.Well I occassionally watch his "Last nerve" show, and he is fairly entertaining. Of course anyone in the biz as long as he has been has just got to have a ton of stories and experiences to chat about.
Oh momma, I have got to get me one of these!
Ha!
I do know from personal experience that many people who think they are bad@ss will stay clear of a cast iron skillet welding female.
A bit yes. I was the most disapointed in the Winged Hat. I thought it should be goldy. And I don’t even remember him in an Eldorado-or-what suit. Hummmmm.. I guess I will have to wait for the dvd to be released here to double check. They took it off you-tube. 😛
Well, a movie would be great.
But sadly a movie would require an active and growing fan base. Which would require a heavy roation of the epidodes on one or more channels. Which we don’t have, and haven’t had for a long while.
I do wonder if Lexx will ever be going into re-run rotation. 🙁
Just found more by another poster buried in the ‘If you could leap for a day’ thread. What is going on? This one was for a property management company.
Tony can we get access to the membershiplists again? Or do we have it and I am not looking in the right place? I would be intrested in who joined near these two and if they are spamming links also.
I’ve been to several conventions over the years. Some minor, some gamer, some major. I do watch good sci-fi. ie… nothing with Kevin Sorbo in it.
Authors? I like McMasters Bujold, Phillip Dick, L. E. Modesitt Jr., Charles Stross and when I was much younger John Christoper who wrote the Tripod Series.
Fortunately, my younger brother who lived with me for many years is also a sci-fi fan. So we had in house sci-fi geek support. 😀
No. Worse luck, it was inside locked up. So I got a raincheck. Bummer it was for a movie location not anywhere near my house (close to my bf’s friend) so we whined that we was unlikely to ever come this far again.The manager lady gave us each a second one for a guest.
Well I don’t think that was a propblem for these types of hats. They appear to be welded to their heads for the duration. ;D
Can you believe. Five minutes into the d*mn film and the fire alarm went off. They evacuated the place and shut down for the rest of the night. 🙁Yea the recreation scene was good. The smirky doc was wonderful. But I also liked the general, he added a nice bit of humour whenever he was on screen.
It’s a shame about him though. Brion James, the general, gave an interview in Aug of 99, one of the things that he spoke of was that the main ‘baddies’ like Gene Hackman and some of the others were in their sixty’s. He was hoping as they shlowed down he would get bigger parts. He died later that month. 🙁
Did you see, Princess Beatrice is going to auction off…. THE HAT. 😀
Seems like a good sport about the whole thing. ;D
I had read years ago that the director was concerned that Chris Tucker would refuse to wear the Ruby Rod get ups. So he had some even more outrageous sketches and costumes made and shown to Mr. Tucker .Apparently Chris was so glad when they decided not to use the dresses and to go with the jumpsuit outfits that he didn’t even complain about the weird hair.The dress was okay. Not ground breaking but a welcome change from the hochie-momma strapless ones we have seen so much of lately.
I thought that Beatrice looked pretty good in her beige outfit. Weird hat and all. It framed her face just beautifly.
I wasn’t as big a fan of her sisters outfit, but it did show off her legs nicely, which seem to be her best feature.
The Head to toe kingfisher blue outfit? Should have lost the gloves. I have no clue what they were made from, but reminded me of something Dexter or his mom would wear.
Does that Beckham woman ever smile?
Ha! Hollow chocolate not so popular here except with kiddos.
Tis a time honored tradition for the parental units to sneak the ears off the solid chocolate bunnies before the kids get to them.
I got my DVD. Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
How fun is this. I have watched it three times already. I am to the point where I can notice details and little throwaways. very good, very cute, very funny. 😀
P.s. Still love Max the horse-puppy!
It was worth it if only for the Skillet Skills displayed.
I don’t recall any talking animals. A horse with an attitude perhaps, but just snorts and huffs on occassion, no equine breaking into song or anything.
American Version.
I tried to watch the Brit version, which is available on channel 886 or something, but just could not get into it.
Yea, I am still watching it. But…. perhaps we need to refer to it as Being Human Brit or Being Human Ameri. Because they are pretty different and not really the same show.
Helloooooo. Marketing. You don’t get to be a ga-zillionaire without a bit of marketing.
And since the Star Wars franchise was really the start of the toy-book-games-printed bed sheets marketing as we know it today…..
Sometimes it may take a cute fuzzy alien to make enough money to get the next picture made. 😀
I rewatch this at least every couple of months. It really picks up for me when they are in the air/spac port. From there to the end it just never stops. 😀
Wierdly, I was looking this up just yesterday.
The American Max Headroom Tv show, that was based on ’20 minutes into the Future’ was released on DVD by Shout! Factory on August 10, 2010. It sadly does not contain the original 20 Minutes Into the Future film. No doubt due to the tangled rights Saddy was referring to. However the original high def tapes have been lost, so it is only a standard def dvd.
Well Saddy, you know if anyone was going to bring it to your attention it would be me. 🙂 I NEVER suffer in silence. 😉
I’m blaming all my typo’s on it. Well perhaps not all, but it is hard to check your typing with they text greyed out and box lines getting in the way.
What is this annoying translucent box thingy that covers the new posting area and takes forever to get rid of so you can post? It is like the post above extends down to the save preview buttons. You have to wave the mouse all over the place to make it go away…. which only works sometimes. Or carfully click on the far left of the posting area to the tiny sliver that is not cover and start tyinping. That works, but you can barely read what you are typing as it is slightly obsured byt the the afore said translucent box thingy.
Hey nothing wrong with Soap Operas. One of my all time favs was the Original Dark Shadows. It ran for a zillion eps. I joined in just as Barabas went to the past to find out about Quention’s problem. I watched it for years after school and bought my first vcr so I could record it. 😀
Also my viewing habits have drastically changed in the last five years or so. Much less television watching for me.
I check in and respond to newer posts as I can. But honestly, I don’t watch much TV these days so I am not up on the latest shows.
I never even finished watching season three of True Blood. They kept changing to story line. I just couldn’t get into it. I deleted them from my dvr. ;p
No but my husband might! 😀 Of course since new body would doubtless be an improvement over current model, he most likely would stay quiet about it. 😉
Well I did end up with a gamer computer. I got an Asus – Essentio Desktop with Intel i5 Processor, 8gb mem. I hear the video card is crap, but crap is also subjective, this is supposity a gamer comp, not high end mind you, but gamer none the less. And gamers are notorious for wanting vid cards with tons of on board mem and stuff like that. So it might suit me just fine for now. The case is a throw back to the olden days and is monsterous to accomidate the gamer love of upgrading. Much easier to install memory, boards and drives in a large case, as opposed to the new slimmer ones they are using now adays. Seriously large case, you could almost bury bodies in this thing. :p
I cannot be the only Sadgeezer to have seen this.
The skillet bit was classic. theMother would have been a big fan of the Frying Pan defense moves. 😀 She wielded a mean skillet herself.
