  1. Thanks to Foresight EU for posting an alternate link for those of us in Canada, the UK and the rst of the planet.
  2. Those of us outside the US cannot see the trailer from that link.
  3. I can't watch anything on hulu either so can someone tell me or message me the name of the anime so I can at least look it up on you tube or google it. Please? Thanks. Nevermind, I am an idiot sometimes... it's Tiger and bunny right?
  4. Uhm.. yeah... I'll be in my bunk.
  5. This saddens me greatly. Many years ago I was lucky enough to meet and work with Michael Gough. I was an extra in a children's program, a mini series called; "The Little Vampire". I was in a scene with him where I played his vampire servant/butler.

    The scene was a ballroom dance in a large cave with many vampires dancing. At the end of the dance, Michael Gough was to go up some steps and sit on his throne and give a speech to the gathered vampires. ( His character was their leader.) There was a problem as at the top of the steps he couldn't quite make the final step. The director was desperate, he saw me in my tux and vampire get up. He mad me his servant, and had me kneel at the top of the steps, so my master could step on my back on his way onto the throne.

    Now when something is filmed, they often shoot it several times from different angles and different cameras. This was no exception. To get the scene the way the director wanted it, Michael Gough had to step onto my back several times, and i had to appear happy to serve him.He was quite apologetic and genuinely felt bad about having to step on my shoulders repeatedly. I told him it was ok, I was having a fine time. He was a big fellow and a bit heavy as he was over six feet tall. Besides the show must go on, and I was being paid to do this.

    Several days later I was once again called on to be an extra in the same show. I was helping to carry vampire laden coffins. Now at the end of this procession of coffins, one of the other extras was to speak with Micheal's character. But he couldn't, my fellow extra kept choking when it was his turn to deliver his line... he couldn't handle the stress of the cameras and the lights and speak.

    Once again, the director spotted me, and asked me if I would deliver the line. I was delighted to have the chance to have a speaking part. In the scene, Micheal thanks the humans who have aided the vampires. He then hands my character a moss covered rock. ( fake of course, because well that's showbiz , ain't it.) My immortal line, which I always remember was; "Thanks for the moss rock Unc!"

    I have friends and relatives in Europe who have seen the show and me in it, but I never have. At least not the small parts of it that i was in. Oh well , perhaps someday I will. I felt like I had to share this story with all of you. Every word of it is true.
  6. I'm not busy... of course I'm not a movie Director, but hey, I'm willing to learn as I go, I mean how hard can it be?
  7. Funny and fun, thanks for posting this.
  8. Won't play in my area.. i guess BBC hates Canada
  9. Sandman-- Neil Gaiman's sandman, of the Endless. In an animated epic.

    T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents-- A live action series of films, each movie would focus on a different agent.

    Invincible-- I think it would be a great film, done live action with mind blowing effects, of course.

    Kingdom Come-- A fully animated epic, would probably end up being at least 2-3 hours in length.

    Ambush Bug-- Animated. The adventures of Ambush Bug in the DC universe.

    Resurrection Man-- an obscure but very cool DC character. A live action film with amazing effects.

    Suicide Squad-- DC comics series, it would be done as a series of live action movies.
  10. Another solid episode, I am quite enjoying this series. I want them to reveal who the faceless conspiracy of baddies is eventually... maybe some if not all of them by the end of the first season? I think that would be cool. I have some guesses who some of them might be, but I want to know. Must mean they got me hooked on the show.. yes , I am hooked on it.
  11. A perfectly planned plan... executed with precision to prevent perdition, perhaps?
  12. I would go see this movie.
  13. That was cool, except nuking a t shirt in a microwave will do NOTHING to a t shirt.
  14. If I was a gambling man I would bet on them screwing it up... It's almost as inevitable as death and taxes in my opinion.
  15. Interesting... I write as well and I have several ideas for novels.
  16. I am unable to get the coh launcher or the new NCsoft launcher to work, even though i have reinstalled coh. The NCsoft launcher also would not start after I downloaded it. No Idea why... help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
  17. A sad day for Dr. who fans indeed.
