The unREAL DC Boards Lounge 6.3

[BlackLantern]

the pilot was just picked up, so it will probably start shooting this spring/summer...the concept sounds a little flighty and it is NBC.....so I'm not really sure

 

[Hush]

Why the heck would you have voted for a small minded bigoted ignorant mindless moron who could not even finish a sentence

Thank grodd that moron can never run for president again

Some of the stupid crud he said made me though

Because he shared my beliefs along with political leanings and contrary to popular belief he was a very smart man and won the Presidency twice so really you have no room to call him mindless. Was he the best President that we as a country have had? No. He is far from the worst(Carter)though and he lead this nation through a moment of national crisis. At least he didn't plung the national debt as far down as the man who is president now has. I'm done though.

 

[Darthphere]

well Bamber is leaving the show to do more work in America....was reading he got passed over for some big roles in the UK, got ticked, and is coming over here

he's doing that new Ron Moore pilot the 17th Precinct

Not because of my giant Lee Adama man crush, but the guy is a pretty damn good actor. I think the fact that he's like 5 foot nothing doesn't help him though.

 

[BlackLantern]

yea...I figured he was short because every time him and Sackhoff did a scene together, one of them was always sitting or standing, or he was standing on top of something

Sackhoff is like 5'8

Here's my All Star Superman blu-ray review:
Story, Casting:

Spoiler

I loved the voice acting, especially Anthony Lapaglia as Lex Luthor, Christina Hendricks as Lois Lane and Arnold Vosloo as Bar-el, not to mention John Dimaggio as Aquaman Atlantis, OUTRAGEOUSNESS!!!!

James Denton is spot on Superman. He is laidback and kind, what more do you need from the Man of Steel? Now when they said the story woud be 90% loyal i got overhyped, because ultimately they meant the essence of the story and not in actual context, but i still loved the movie, oh god was this a good way to say goodbye and show what a total god of pure good and innocence Superman is, and i love him for that. We humans are imitators, horses don't try to fly nor do fishes try to run, but we humans try to imitate everything almost. We need to look up for the angels or in this better case Superman and imitate him, because he inspires the best of us and he gains power thru us.

The action is awesome as heck for the little action scenes it has, the dialogue is purely awesome and highly physicist since they talk all atoms and other stuff, but yeah i'm glad the dialogue didn't get too much changed, tho i wish Superman had said "theres always a way" in one particular shot, but it's Lois Lane in this movie who says that. Luthor's niece is hilariously awesome, but it's a shame we didn't get Leopold the monkey!

The altered ending took me by surprise, but it was kinda good and bad at the same time, they redeemed Lex Luthor which he never does in the comic, but it never showed Leo consult with Superman so they kinda give an heir to Superman because they demanded a new being of greatness to imitate, but after all Superman KNOWS this because he has seen his future hair, so it all fits. =)

9/10 for this awesomesauce

Best part, the Bruce Timm & Grant Morrison commentary

Spoiler

First things first: Grant Morrison loved the altered ending and wished he had done something same to redeem Lex Luthor in his own story.

Bruce Timm praises the hell out of Morrison, talking about his love to All Star Superman and New X-Men, he didn't know somethings we're from the comics such as Luthor's niece and other things referring them as "total Morrison ideas". He also loved the corny dialogue that only works for Superman such as "YOu broke the moon!" and "i will love you to the end of times" and Morrison states that this is the stuff he should be exactly saying as it only works out for him. They also talk about their favcorite hero movies ranging from Morrison's Walt Disney Hercules to Bruce all time favorite the Incredibles. Timm also talks how hard it was to capture Quitely's art and how much work they did for it, then also talking about why some scenes they felt didn't first make sense but ultimately did, and how the musical score helped make things truly epic. His only fear seemed to be how the general public sees this film and was very happy that Morrison embraced it.

Extras, even more greatness:

Spoiler

Superman Now: It's pretty much a 30 minute short documentary spinning on how All Star Superman became alive and what inspired it. Did you know #1 starts with the sun rising, #6 with the moon rising and the story concluding with the sun rising once more? This 12 issue epic that spins a whole year arguebly is also like 1 massively epic day for Superman. I never noticed that! Dan Didio even went all the way to Glasglow to visit Morrison to talk about these things. Morrison also reports another story of meeting a cosplaying Superman and talks how he was inspired by how laid back the most invulnurable Superhero should be, as this guy was just all relaxed and it gave a big impact on Morrison.

Morrison's father had also died around the time he started writing this comic, and he does talk about his emotional impact on this work, along with explaining that no matter how strong Superman is, or how weak Batman is compared to him: Personal conflicts and emotionals are always the biggest threaths for the men in spandex and normal people.

He also talked how he demanded that the art would demonstrate emotions, not simply insert dialogue where someone states they're sad and whatnot, the kind of beatiful emotional power you can see from great art.

Bizarro world was inspired by the idea of pure depression. We also get a 10 minute video look of Morrison's notepad that had stuff from the late 90s to modern day before all star Superman, showing couple of things that clearly show Morrison has been ahead of the curve in some regards.

Green Lantern: Emerald Knights preview: Krona is the main villain of the movie, but the main character isn't actually Hal Jordan but it's Arisia. Hal Jordan is the backbone and narrator of the story, wheres Arisia is the new member and the eyes of the viewers who are being introduced to the GL universe. Kilowog's origin will be shown. Abin Sur will have a flashback story too. Laira is the most order following soldier of the story who uses her martian mart skills. Also we will see Sinestro Corp in this movie.

Animation style is pretty much the same as GL: First Flight. =) Also they're using TECHNO music and orchestral, wohoo!!!!!

If you love All Star Superman, you need to purchase this. If you love Grant Morrison, then you need to purchase the best edition for all the juicty things.

 

[Hush]

Yeah I think he would have been a great Superman but he is too short.

It was funny seeing Bamber in Outcasts

Spoiler

He was all evil killing his wife and randomly murdering people. He was being set up like the shows big bad guy and then at the end of the first episode he gives some speech about humans can't live together in peace and gets shoot in the head

 

[BlackLantern]

I am watching TJ Hooker.....and basking in the awesomeness of the Shatner

 

[Mystirious]

On the bus home today heard a parent and her kids talking about some tv show

There was a gay couple on it

The parent and her kids were both talking about it as if it was totally normal natural and healthy

Which it is

Parents like that renew my faith in humanity today has sucked but seeing people be so decent and accepting made me

Wish my girlfriends could be a little more like that

the pilot was just picked up, so it will probably start shooting this spring/summer...the concept sounds a little flighty and it is NBC.....so I'm not really sure

Might check out the first episode

yea...I figured he was short because every time him and Sackhoff did a scene together, one of them was always sitting or standing, or he was standing on top of something

Sackhoff is like 5'8

5'8 of hawtness

Sackhoff is an actress i loves with all my love is she acting in anything right now

 

[BlackLantern]

Why the heck would you have voted for a small minded bigoted ignorant mindless moron who could not even finish a sentence

lesser of two evils. that's a very small minded statement mysti

Thank grodd that moron can never run for president again

actually he can run for president again now, it's just very unlikely that he will

 

[BlackLantern]

we have a politics forum, move it over there if this is to continue

 

[lixdexia]

we have a politics forum, move it over there if this is to continue

there's also a misc. television forum

 

[BlackLantern]

[chamber-music]

They may if they discuss Jamie Bamber getting a TJ from a hooker

 

[BlackLantern]

true

 

[lixdexia]

nor anything else in the tone of the conversation thus far.

 

[Mystirious]

lesser of two evils. that's a very small minded statement mysti

actually he can run for president again now, it's just very unlikely that he will

I despise him with all my hate and hope he is never president again and no one like him is ever president again

 

[Hush]

I just got my Once More With Feeling soundtrack in the mail! Man what a great day! I'm super stoked.

 

[lixdexia]

so, i watched waiting for superman last night, good watch but i hate when documentarys are quite as one sided with an obvious agenda as this. either way though, the current tenure policy for public school teachers is the single most economically crippling policy in america.
