What are you currently watching?

[Cloud23465]

Ahhh... the weather channel. Watching the tempature go down after almost reaching 100 today.

[kyojikasshu]

Earlier, it was an hour-long Danny Phantom, then a bunch of episodes of Mythbusters.

But, for the last while, it's just been my computer screen and me.

[campy]

At the moment I'm watching The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on TNT. I missed the beginning, though.

[Cloud23465]

Just wraping up watching the fast and the furious... the scene where that poor hemi dodge charger flips after it hits that train.... brings a tear to my eye... is was such a beautiful car that gets flipped over. I just breaks my heart because I want one:cry:

[TransWarpDrive]

Earlier today, I was watching Wolf Blitzer on CNN while using my therapeutic arm brace, then I watched a show on Discovery Channel about lobster fishermen.
Now, I'm just working on my computer.

[captainkodak1]

A show on Discovery Channel on megatsunamis and The Longest Day. The Longest Day is an all time favorite of mine.

[TransWarpDrive]

Right now, I'm watching the KP ep "Grande Size Me." And while I'm watching, I'm eating a bowl of fruit (mmmm...I just love pineapple). :D

[GoTeamGirl]

The Weather Channel. :)

[Fireand'chutes77]

"Odds Man In" on Toon Disney. It's one of my favorite S4 episodes, if not the series. Ranks right up there in the top 10 with Bueno Nacho and TTT.

[Cloud23465]

Watching fox news... A story broke on a bunch of boing 737's being checked out becaue one caught fire In japan... It was a huge fire I must say. Dunno if anyone was hurt though.:dubiety:

Yeah, that happened a few days ago. I wouldn't say the Chinese jet caught fire, exactly, more like exploded.

No one was seriously hurt, thankfully; all 165 pasengers and crew evacuated. The pilot jumped from the cockpit windows just a few seconds before the airplane detonated.

[Not The CrimpMaster]

Watched an episode of Seinfeld, then Everybody Loves Raymond. Good times.

No one was seriously hurt, thankfully; all 165 pasengers and crew evacuated. The pilot jumped from the cockpit windows just a few seconds before the airplane detonated.
They say the left engine exploded a minute after the jet entered its parking spot on the airport's ramp. The explosion was supposedly caused by a fire that started because the aircraft skidded on the tarmac on its way from the runway to the gate after landing. (At least that's what the report on the ABC News website said.)
As to what I'm currently watching: well, I just finished watching "Stop Team Go" on DC. It just occurred to me that the character design for Electronique reminds me of a cross between the Bride of Frankenstein and the Borg Queen from the movie "Star Trek: First Contact."

[Cloud23465]

Wow! Thanks for the update on that plane. I'd forgot to check up on it. Man, I've never recall ever hearing a plane do that before. Anyways... I've been watching Walker Texas Ranger. Great series! :biggergrin:

[Fireand'chutes77]

Wow! Thanks for the update on that plane. I'd forgot to check up on it. Man, I've never recall ever hearing a plane do that before.
Ah, but remember - it's a Chinese plane. :biggergrin: I'd expect they'll have recalls on jets next... :P :dubiety:

ROTF! :laugh: Perhaps they got a little carried away with the lead paint around or maybe they sprayed some in the engine... there's no telling what the cause was but I cant wait to find out.

Actually, it's an American-built plane, but I get the joke...:D
As to what I'm currently watching: Nothing. Our cable service went down around quarter to 6 PM local time, and it still hasn't been restored. I missed a new episode of "Mythbusters" where they tackled superhero myths (including grappler guns and pulleys to lift the hero up the sides of buildings - sound familiar, gang? ;)) because those clowns at Comcast Cablevision dropped the ball tonight. Maybe they should change their name to "Incompetent-cast Cablevision".... :angry:
EDIT: Cable came back on around 10:15 tonight. Aside from a few temporary black-outs, it seems to be running OK... :ohwell:

[canuck31003]

"Mythbusters" where they tackled superhero myths (including grappler guns and pulleys to lift the hero up the sides of buildings - sound familiar, gang? ;))
Well, Spider-man suits might not be too far away (Spider-man suit secret revealed (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6967474.stm)). :)

Ah! I missed that! I really wanted to watch it, and kept reminding myself, then totally forgot.

Anyway, now I'm watching The Weather Channel again.

[Cloud23465]

How it's made on the Discovery channel. I don't know how many people have seen this show... but it's got some really neat stuff that they feature on this show.

[GoTeamGirl]

I'm watching that as well, it's on quite a lot.

Has anyone seen A Haunting?

[Molloy]

Don't have TV, sorry. :P

[GoTeamGirl]

Now I'm watching Grease on Nick at Night.

[recon228]

I'm about to watch this week's episode of "Rescue Me" that I TiVo'd last night...

After that, I'm gonna watch Tuesday's episode of "Eureka". :thumbup:

[TransWarpDrive]

I just watched two episodes of "Dogfights" on the History Channel. The show recalls notable instances of air-to-air combat involving American fighter pilots in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. They even include comments from some of the fighter pilots themselves. The CG recreations of the dogfights are just incredible... it's as if you're in the air alongside these planes as they fight. Great series if you enjoy aviation, military history, or both... :thumbup:
EDIT:
After that, I'm gonna watch Tuesday's episode of "Eureka".
I remember an episode of "Doctor Who" where the Doctor (played by Tom Baker) says that "Eureka" is Greek for "This bath is too hot"....:P

We were watching the same episodes, then. :D I particularly enjoyed the P-51 segment of the "No Room for Error" episode. (It should've been called something like "On the Deck," though, IMHO.) Anyway, I have particular interest in WWII aviation, and with several thick WWII flight sim manuals sitting on the bookshelf behind me, I have some understanding of the almost-ridiculous strain the pilots were putting on themselves and their machines during the series of up-and-down U-turns. And without g-suits, either.... :blink:

I agree that the CGI is outstanding. I was particularly awed by the special effects between a pair of A-1 Skyraiders and a MiG-17... Particularly the attention-to-detail given to the treeline and the concluding fireball. They've really stepped up the graphics from earlier episodes.

[campy]

I'm watching "Odds Man In" in an iTunes window on my laptop. Arguably the best season 4 episode for my favorite cheerleader. She gets to giggle. :D

http://caps.kpfanworld.com/images/odds_man_in/0215.jpg
(Gee, I hope I don't get into trouble for this picture. :laugh:)

[GoTeamGirl]

Hannah Montana. I'll be watching a recording of A Haunting soon enough.

[Cloud23465]

Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop! I'm watching a new dvd of the three stooges they re-did in color. Its pretty awesome what they did with it and it looks really good.

[TransWarpDrive]

I watched "Rewriting History" on DC. I took a few minutes after the show, and figured out exactly how much time was on the Electro-Static Illuminator when Kim and Ron found it in the Middleton Museum after 100 years. The readout on the device's timer said, "52560000," or 52,560,000 seconds. That works out to only 1 year, 7 months, 30 days, and 8 hours. 100 years' worth of electrical charge works out to be 3,135,600,000 seconds, far more than what the readout indicated.

[Not The CrimpMaster]

I watched an episode of Numb3rs (can't wait for the new season) and then a segment on Jay Leno about back to school supplies. :laugh:

[campy]

September's here, BC football kicks off this afternoon, so I'm watching the ACC Football preseason special.

This also means the return of my special Pigskin Day sig: cheerleader Jessica in maroon & gold.

[GoTeamGirl]

Mythbusters. I love that show.

Sort of on the same subject, there was an article in the New York Times about Dirty Jobs.

[Molloy]

Well, I am not watching it now ... and I know that I said earlier that I didn't "have tv" but .... hmmm, maybe I should explain some things first.

I do own a television set, and a DVD player and a VHS machine. However, I do not "have tv" in the sense that I do not get channels--no rabbit ears, no satellite, no cable--haven't since the summer of 2000.

Anyway, although I am not watching it now, I intend on putting on David Lynch's new film INLAND EMPIRE once I get the kids to bed tonight.

From all accounts, the movie makes no sense whatsoever.

All I can say to that is BOOYAH! I CAN'T WAIT!!! :biggergrin:

[campy]

Watching Boston College vs. Wake Forest in ACC football. Not a good start; the first play was an interception for a Wake TD and then 3 downs and out. :(

[GoTeamGirl]

Just watched a new episode of A Haunting. Creepy.

[TheGreenMagic]

Having rented Dinosaurs: The Complete Third and Fourth Seasons... yeah, watched some of that earlier. I'm so glad I missed out on seeing the last episode when I was a kid. Such a sad ending...:(

Of course I watched Kim Possible. Good times, good times. Now we move onto the end game. Hopefully Kimmie has a happier end than the above series did.

[Molloy]

I just finished watching INLAND EMPIRE.

It did NOT disappoint.

I believe that says it all. :thumbup:

[kyojikasshu]

Well, yesterday, I went through the Rocky saga, from the Oscar-winning first movie through the fifth installment (which I actually skipped through most of). I then watched "Larry's Birthday", of course.

[TransWarpDrive]

Well, yesterday, I went through the Rocky saga, from the Oscar-winning first movie through the fifth installment (which I actually skipped through most of). I then watched "Larry's Birthday", of course.
Have you seen the last one, simply titled "Rocky Balboa" yet? I think you'll like it - it recaptures the spirit of the first film. An excellent finale to the "Rocky" saga, if you ask me...:D

[campy]

I saw Rocky Balboa last spring on an airplane. Not a bad flick, except for the woman and her annoying kid. I don't know why they were needed.

Now I'm watching "Cap'n Drakken" in an iTunes window.

[canuck31003]

Whenever I've had the time I've been watching the US Open this past week. I'm rooting for Justine Henin on the women's side, and for someone, anyone, to take out Roger Federer on the men's. Wishful thinking? Probably, but a man's gotta have hope. :P

[jeriddian]

Yeah, on a medium or a fast surface court, taking out Roger is going to be an extremely tall order.;)

[Cloud23465]

Hmmmm... Little bit of the weather channel. There wasn't to much good shows on cable today so I poped in another three stooges dvd and had a good laugh. There going back and having the episodes colored and its sooo cool to see it in color vs black and white.

[Fireand'chutes77]

I saw Rocky Balboa last spring on an airplane. Not a bad flick, except for the woman and her annoying kid...
Stallions on a Plane! :ohmy: :laugh:

(Sorry; Couldn't resist. :P)

I'm about to watch "Larry's Birthday" again. Wasn't it originally going to be a half-length episode?

Watching WWE Smackdown right now, I missed it friday night, but I recorded it.

[jeriddian]

Just recorded "Vir-Tu-Ron"

God! I wish they would stop putting the garbage ads on screen!:angry: Especially the ones that compress the picture and distort it.:mad:

Yeesh, I hate those. The Toon Disney ones were the worst, where they'd shrink the entire screen to fit the stupid "Daily Secret Code" thing. Disney used to have just a scroll bar on the bottom, but now they seem to have unfortunately moved on to the squish. :mad: :ohwell:

Yeah, I hate "squishy" promos too. What's even worse are those big yellow or green bars they put across the bottom of the screen on DC to herald the next shows in that night's schedule - especially when you're trying to tape a brand-new episode...:angry:

As Long as the ads don't make the squished show look like an avatar...I'm okay with it...But yes, it is annoying. Toon Disney has gotten really bad with it now.

[Not The CrimpMaster]

Earlier this evening I was watching two shows from the History Channel's Universe series. The first was about the moon and the second about "Spaceship Earth," which sounds like the name of a bad sci-fi movie. :P My parents, who were watching it with me, were very skeptical about the various claims the scientists made. "Oh, so that's what your computer model says? What about that other computer model that says the exact opposite?" :laugh:

[campy]

As Long as the ads don't make the squished show look like an avatar...I'm okay with it...But yes, it is annoying. Toon Disney has gotten really bad with it now.This makes me glad I didn't pay the extra $ for TD when Charter moved it off the package I have. I used to like them for the shorter commercial breaks than DC, if nothing else. Dc's just go on and on ...

Now I'm watching "Mad Dogs and Aliens" in an iTunes window.

[TheGreenMagic]

Heh, I couldn't help watching Mad Dogs and Aliens earlier today either (as well as Rappin' Drakken before that), what with the series finalé coming up soon.

Then, just for kicks, I watched the Blasts From the Past two-parter from Superman the Animated Series. It was basically an animated version of Superman II, what with two Kryptonians trying to conquer Earth and having a big brawl with Superman right in Metropolis. And what bad@$$ Kryptonians they were, but that's what happens when the main villain, General Jax-Ur, is played by Ron Perlman. The man just rocks in that sort of role.

And now I finally realize who Warmonga sort of reminded me of.

Mythbusters is a pretty cool show. I really liked the one with the Confederate rockets... and the one where they had to make a gigantic sheet of paper just to be able to fold it over more than seven times.


I actually haven't watched anything today.

[campy]

Now watching "Homecoming Upset" in an iTunes window. Still trying to figure out how a magnet on the wrist of a 100-pound cheerleader manages to rip a metal electrical box attached to seven thick cables and conduits off a wall, rather than pulling Kim into the lasers.

Cartoon physics, gotta love it.

[Cloud23465]

Watching KP The Mentor of Our Discontent, It almost over and I got a well needed laugh out of it, Time to check the weather and go to bed.:sleeping:

[campy]

What am I watching? A "Graduation" promo during "Bueno Nacho." I decided not to do any taping of the megathon, except for a few episodes I haven't seen in a while. I will bide my time and wait for DVD sets. :sleeping:

I am hoping it won't be too long a wait, I'd really like to have copies of the shows without the crawlers, logos, commercials, medallions and so on. I'm guessing that if we start getting DVDs it probably won't be until next year. I imagine Disney will let the burst of viewership after the finale die down before they release something like that. I would hope that hey include some interviews from the cast and crew, but don't really expect it. Extras like we saw on some of the DCM are unlikely based on Steve Loter's remarks that stuff that is cut generally doesn't survive the animatic stage and usually gets erased from the computers.

[Twila Starla]

I Tivoed the megathon for today so I finish up with school. Currently watching Monkey Fist Strikes. :)

[kyojikasshu]

Gee, there's a wonderful documentary on the history of bread...

Whaddaya think I'm watching? Or, at least I would be watching it if I had a TV that was computer-adjacent (or a computer that was TV-adjacent). But, I'm taping the megathon anyway...

[GoTeamGirl]

Kim Possible!

[TransWarpDrive]

Of course, I'm watching KP, as well... :P
Right now they're running "Pain King vs. Cleopatra."
Boy, that Jackie Oakes sure has an inferiority complex, huh? :laugh:

[Fireand'chutes77]

"October 31st." I love this episode more every time I watch it. :D

[TransWarpDrive]

"October 31st." I love this episode more every time I watch it. :D
Yeah, this one has special memories for me. It's the first episode I saw in its entirety back in the fall of 2002. The joke about Drakken and Shego being shocked at Kim lying, and Duff's response, "Aye, she'll be working long and hard to regain my trust," is what won me over as a KP fan. :)

[TheGreenMagic]

Just got done watching The Ron Factor. Ah, good ol' Gemini. It's a shame he didn't get another episode to be the star villain, but at least his one episode was awesome.

[campy]

I've been watching the megathon since noon. Well, not continuously. My new town dump permit came in the mail, and I went out to the garage to put it in my car during part of "Blush."

[GoTeamGirl]

Triple S is on now.

[cpneb]

Just got done watching The Ron Factor. Ah, good ol' Gemini. It's a shame he didn't get another episode to be the star villain, but at least his one episode was awesome.

Saw 'The Ron Factor' last night, and I confirmed even more vividly what I thought I'd remembered:

Betty is H-O-T hot!

The animators had a real fun time with her.

[kyojikasshu]

Just got done watching The Ron Factor. Ah, good ol' Gemini. It's a shame he didn't get another episode to be the star villain, but at least his one episode was awesome.

And, at least he got a game out of it... XD

Still going back and forth with watching the marathon and working on the computer.

[jeriddian]

Just finished StD, again. I don't know why, but the last scene with them dancing on the gym floor still gives me chills.

[Fireand'chutes77]

"Rufus in Show." Falsetto Jones is so refreshingly bada**. :cool: :D

And now I've tuned into the end of Bonding. Well, that and hanging around the computer as well. Walk and chew bubblegum and all that...

You got to love that Gift Shop Trap of Dementor's... It's unique.

Edit: I've seriously got to get a tape set up for tomorrow. At the very least I'm going to record Mad Dogs and Aliens, Stop Team Go and Graduation.

Figures. :biggergrin: Not a bad choice, but in that sitch I probably would've just put in Session 6, and ran it from "Hard Luck Woman" right through to the end of "The Real Folk Blues, Part 2". And I still love the song from the end of HLW... "Call Me, Call Me".

I've been checking in on the marathon, at the expense of anything else that might've been on.

[GoTeamGirl]

I was watching Bonding before, but the marathon has stopped so I've turned to The Weather Channel.

[Twila Starla]

Watching Trading Faces, and loving my DVR this week. :wuv:

[Cloud23465]

How it's made. There making ball barings, electrical wires and wax castings today. Then I'll head over to watch the rest of the KP marathon.

[Twila Starla]

Oh No! Yono!, with 2 hours to go until premire time! :biggergrin:

[campy]

I'm continuing with the megathon and watching "Homecoming Upset." This will be it for me before I go to bed, though. I really hope there's an email from the iTunes store waiting for me when I get up tomorrow ...

[jeriddian]

I will continue with my recording. Every second of it until it is all on disc.

[kyojikasshu]

After "Graduation" I'm taking a much-needed break. I've got to save my energy so that I can spend the afternoon tomorrow with my 9-year-old nephew John.

Maybe some day, I'll be able to get him genuinely interested in KP... after all, I did help to get him into Transformers!

[TheGreenMagic]

I watched Graduation of course. And it was awesome. Awesome to the max. :cool:

[Zephyr]

I watched Graduation of course. And it was awesome. Awesome to the max. :cool:

So was it a redeemer for StD? ;)

Just asking because of your obvious dislike, or burning hatred, for StD...

[jeriddian]

I watched Graduation of course. And it was awesome. Awesome to the max. :cool:

I'm glad you liked it TGM, if only to remove that sense of unfinished business that StD gave you.:)

[TheGreenMagic]

Oh yes, for me KP finally has the series finalé it so richly deserved. Season 4 was so totally worth it, for this and so many other reasons and episodes.

Now I just have to do some major rewriting on Crossroads Over Time... or just scrap it. Well see.

[Cloud23465]

Ah... i'm watching whats left of the marathon. It's depressing to know that this was it... the new episodes are no more and there no more to look forward to.. :cry: theres never been a series that i've followed this long and finding a replacement is going to be pretty hard to find. But I do have everything DV-Red now and they cant take that away from me.

[Not The CrimpMaster]

Earlier I watched Graduation, just like most here! Now I'm waiting for Avatar: The Last Airbender (Septemper 21!) and 24 (January something!) to start up again. :D

Then I went to Barnes and Noble, browsed around, then came home and watched the first episode of Seinfeld. I like Kramer better with his tall hair. :P

[campy]

I watched "Graduation" on iTunes this morning, and now I'm watching something I'm sure no one else here is interested in: W. B. Mason BC Football Weekly.

[TheGreenMagic]

Last night I watched Fracture and Disturbia. Both pretty good films. The first one can certainly keep you guessing and the second... well... just plain creepy. Good, but creepy.

[campy]

I'm watching Captain Blood, starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland ... and music by the great Erich Wolfgang Korngold.

Arrr. ;)

[kyojikasshu]

I haven't watched anything today, but last night was rather interesting...

After a long day, I turned in early, but wasn't actually sleepy yet, so I flipped around a bit. Then I saw something strange as I went by ABC Family... "Slacker Cats". A show that seems rather strange for a network with "Family" in its title, considering that these cats say (the 3-letter word for "butt") and "hell" and other such words.

But, the show does feature Nicole Sullivan doing one of the voices...


Hey, campy, you do know that Talk Like A Pirate Day is next week, right?

A show that seems rather strange for a network with "Family" in its title, considering that these cats say (the 3-letter word for "butt") and "hell" and other such words.

But, the show does feature Nicole Sullivan doing one of the voices...


Hey, campy, you do know that Talk Like A Pirate Day is next week, right?
There's an absolutely ridiculous-looking show on there called "Wildfire;" I've only seen promos when my sister is watching Gilmore Girls, but it looks a little... risqué for ABC Family.

[Monstrorrendinformingens]

Gee, morals isn't about what you say. It's not even always about what you are doing. Mind and reason, that's what counts. Words are merely words, the problem is which intention you use them with.
Okay, I don't know the show and it doesn't sound interesting. But "no one seems to have morals" is just too extreme a statement. Not to mention the fact that a horde of persons of good morals doesn't stick out as much as a few crooks.

Websters dictionary Definition of Moral - Concerned with principles of right and wrong or conforming to standards of behavior and character based on those principles.

If some show has sick writers write sick things that make it exactly that... Sick! Then I call it how it is. There nothing extreme about it unless the truth is extreme. If I feel that something is wrong I and wanna say something about it I will do just that and I'd appreciate you not attacking my right to judge something. I dont want to make this personal.

[Monstrorrendinformingens]

Me neither. My judgement just is that your judgement is exaggerated. I think the two of them can be stated quite well without any attacks or personal insults.

I actually watched the first two seasons of "Wildfire". It might have gotten worse since I stopped watching, but it wasn't the worst show on there, as it was primarily about horse racing. "Greek" is, well, about sororities and fraternities. Yeah.

[Cloud23465]

Me neither. My judgement just is that your judgement is exaggerated. I think the two of them can be stated quite well without any attacks or personal insults.

If you get the chance to watch the show then the exaggeration will disapear. As far as the moral thing, I'm Refering to people that come up with shows that just have no purpose but toilet humor, Racial bashing, and other thing. I am not refering to everyone in the world as far as regular people not having morals. But theres alot of problem with Hollywood and TV shows now a days.

[lunchmeat]

Sky King, picked it up at the Air and Space Museum over the weekend. It has aged remarkably well.

[Monstrorrendinformingens]

Ok, Cloud23465,
I see your point. It's just my sense of exact language which makes me sound more assaulting than intended.
The problem is that many will understand who and what is meant but some take what they read literally - that's what I'm most of the time afraid of.
Rubbish on TV is a problem I know well. But that's not the thread to discuss such a wide topic, I guess.
No offense intended. I'm really sorry if you took harm by my statements. I'm surely not here to interfere with the overall fun experience.

[Monstrorrendinformingens]

Okay, now on topic:
Just watched "Spaceballs". I'm quite sure most jokes didn't translate too well.
What, for example, is "schwartz"?:huh:

Okay, thanks. The German translation would mean "juice" ("Macht" becomes "Saft") - well I knew Mel Brooks was that kind of humor, I just didn't know to which extent.

[campy]

I'm tuned to the Disney Channel for the first time since Kim Possible's finale. I'm watching the movie Up, Up and Away.

[GoTeamGirl]

The Weather Channel but only in the background. My friend and I got into a really good conversation based on the show "A Haunting" today, though.

[kyojikasshu]

While I was at my sister's house, my nephews decided to play some of season 1 of Beast Wars. There's some great humor interjected into that series, but one of my favorite bits of the episodes played today was the introduction of the Predacon, Inferno.

"I must protect the Colony in the name of the Royalty!" The only thing that's better is that, in subsequent episodes, he refers to Megatron as "my Queen", since he thinks he's an actual fire ant, rather than a Predacon.

The Cheetah Girls 2. I strongly dislike Raven, she annoys me. Especially in regards to the Cheetah Girls (in general).

[Cloud23465]

Watching some home improvement. Not to many shows on saturday night that are anything I'd like or would watch.

[TheGreenMagic]

Yes, Home Improvement being added to Nick's evening schedule is a blessing. It's kind of a shame Nick has moved on to showing more recent shows, but hey, at least it's quality shows for the most part. Now if only my cable provider had TV Land or whatever Nick calls their sister station...

As for what I've been watching tonight... just Bleach. They finally got to the episode I've been waiting a long time to see (though I long since gave up waiting and picked up the manga). Still it was so worth it to see. Hey, any episode focused on my favorite characters (Rukia in this case) can't be all bad. And it was nowhere near bad.

Though it really isn't doing a whole lot to make Byakuya a character to even remotely like. It just leaves you wanting to see him get his tail kicked and badly. And that ending theme song seriously needs to be changed. A song entitled "Happy People!" so does not fit in when the episode is a rather depressing one and ends on a real downer.

"Hey, you're going to eventually die of TB (not to mention it's all your fault that your best friend died) and I'm going to sit back and do absolutely nothing while my sister is wrongfully executed."

*Cue the "Happy People!" song.*

... It just doesn't work.

GM, Do you find the episodes of Bleach that mainly focus on flashbacks kinda... weird? It kinda throws me off the pace from the main storyline... Just curious...

You know i'm probably one of the biggest FF7 fans you'll ever meet and advent children was a great movie but ameraican fans were basically slapped in the face by the poor voice over. I'm not saying anything bad about the voice actors because they were perfect for each charater in my book. But They didn't go back and Re-CG It for english and after 2 years of delays... It just didn't make up for the wait. I know I watched the japanese version probably 6 months before the english version came out.

Just a bit. Considering how slow paced the Soul Society storyline is all by itself, the flashbacks just drag it out even more. Though as long as they focus on the characters I like (like Momo Hinamori a few weeks ago and Rukia in the most recent episode) I can let it slide.

Yeah, the lips flaps seemed just a little off at times. Distracting at first, but eventually I grew accustomed to it... until Sephiroth showed up. George Newburn makes an awesome voice for Sephiroth, but it the error in lip sync when he starts monologuing about his grand plan seemed way off... or so I remember.

As for the voice actors themselves, I also thought they all fit their roles quite well (with maybe the possible exception of Mena Suvari as Aerith; shame that Mandy Moore didn't return). Steve Blum was an obvious choice for Vincent, Rachel Leigh Cook made for a surprising good Tifa, and Christy Carlson Romano as Yuffie also worked out rather well for example.

I'm watching Big Liar on Campus on ABC Family. It's very dumb, so I'm turning it off soon.

Of course it would be more amazing if they showed computers made by glass but on the other hand we probably never had this kind of glass. And it's truly amazing how much punishment (expensive) modern glass can take.

[lunchmeat]

I used to do cabinet work, back in college (pre-cropdusting), it was amazing how most of the stuff I worked with was simultaneously sharp, heavy, fragile and big. Also typically to be installed on upper floors not serviced by elevators. At least I managed to get out of the construction biz with the same appendages, in number and configuration, as I entered it with.

The Weather Channel, but only in the background. I'm waiting to do something else...

Designing Women came on while i was eating dinner last night, featuring Mrs. Dr. P (Jean Smart), I hadn't seen it since they were making new episodes, still pretty decent, even after all this time.

We only get about 20 channels just now, although a couple of us are tallking about chipping in and upgrading to the deluxe package. 4 are religion, 3 shopping, another 3 in languages I don't speak, like Tagul (Korean), 2 of the same CBS affiliate for some unkown reason and FX and a handful of local affiliates. At least we get PBS. I can't watch KP since the ABC affiliate runs basketball in her slot.

I guess that means that the scene in "The Incredibles" where Violet hides underwater while the goon machine-guns the surface is, in fact, realistic. I'm guessing that the .50 cals have a lot of momentum, but their large size makes it harder to cut through the water, so they basically rip themselves apart?

I doubt they would fragment, but could deform significantly. A .50 cal slug, even from an M2 heavy machine gun would slow down pretty quickly in water so I'm not surprised it would stop in just three feet. But any heavy bullet with a slow velocity woudl do that. A lighter bullet with a hard jacket that is more hydrodynamic fired with a higher muzzle velocity would travel farther.

[Cloud23465]

Its a great episode of mythbusters... there talking about a very intresting fact that I noticed a long time back. CD and DVD burners never really get up to the max recording speed that they say they can. Such example is a 52x cd burner most of this time may only reach 32x to 42x. I know my dvd burner is a 16x but the most i've see it get up to is 12x... go figure.:rolleyes:

Well, having purchased the DVD, I watched Superman: Doomsday. Good film. Not entirely accurate to the Death and Return of Superman comics, no, but it did put a good spin on them and still capture the themes of the story nonetheless. And really... changes were to be expected, considering Bruce Timm and the others were left with the option of adapting nearly a year's worth of several comic series into one movie.

The film certainly had it's share of dark moments though, especially in regards to the Toyman (voiced John DiMaggio; kind of sounded like a cross between Drakken and Motor Ed).

About the only really downside to it all was that Bruce Timm already dealt with Superman's funeral in an episode of Justice League (and it was admittably done much better then).

Oh. Right. There was also a ten minute preview for the next direct to DVD animated feature. Looks real good (and apparently is a near perfect adaption of the comic its based on). I can't wait for The New Frontier to come out.

I'm looking to check that out, but my sister's video store didn't get it yet...

I did expect there to be significant differences, considering post-Doomsday things that occurred during the various DCAU series, such as the introduction of Steel; not to mention that Doomsday himself already put in a couple of appearances in JL/JLU (the first time, he was "lobotomized" by the Superman of the Justice Lords; the second time, if I recall correctly, regular Superman trapped him inside a volcano or something).


I've decided to watch The Irresponsible Captain Tylor again. I fell in love with this series when it aired on the old International Channel, and my DVDs of this series are one of my most prized possessions.

Probably one reason I came to like KP so much (other than the Shego factor, of course), is that Ron, in many ways, reminds me of Justy Ueki Tylor. Sure, he's not as downright lecherous as Tylor can be... but the carefree attitude the two characters share is what really does it for me.

His "Smarty" voice is so much different than the voice he used when he played J. Jonah Jameson in the "Spider-Man" movies (although he did an outstanding job in that role, too). Talk about a versatile actor, huh?

[Not The CrimpMaster]

I watched the Avatar premier as well. This has got to be one of my favorite shows on television. My only beef with the premier was that they didn't give Iroh any airtime. Still, gotta love Zuko. I can't wait for the rest of the season. :D

I also re-watched the season finale of Numb3rs, entitled The Janus List. It's pretty good, amazing when I watched it the first time, but it doesn't have much replay value.

Next week are the season premiers of Shark and Numb3rs, so I'm looking forward to them.

[campy]

Another Saturday, and another big BC win to relive on BC Football Weekly. Next week ... who knows? :unsure:

[GoTeamGirl]

Mythbusters! I've seen this episode already, but it's interesting to watch again.

[canuck31003]

For the past few days I've been re-watching the 26 episodes of Escaflowne and I just finished the last.

As an indication of just how good I think this series is, I like re-watching this series despite the less than 100% satisfactory ending. The ending isn't bad per se, it's just the story doesn't quite end the way I want it to--and usually not liking the ending ruins an entire series for me, even if everything up to the penultimate episode is great.

I just watched "Cap'n Drakken" on DC. I'll admit it's not my favorite Season 4 episode (I have issues with Kim & Co. being forced to live and work in 18th-Century fashion, particularly since such real-life historical sites use volunteers - or paid actors - to do that for the entertainment and enlightenment of the tourists), but I just love the scene in the underwater lair where Ron's just cracked the window glass with the pick and the possessed Drakken runs for his life, exclaiming, "Shego! To the escape craft! ...And save me booty!"
Shego follows, lugging the treasure chest on her shoulders, muttering, "If I had a doubloon for every time I've done that..." :laugh:

I ended up putting Tylor on the shelf for a while, as I borrowed my sister's box set of Heroes. Freakin' awesome... and now I can't wait for tomorrow night's premiere of season 2!

Where did Peter end up? Did Nathan survive? Is Jessica gone for good? What about Sylar? And will Hiro make it back from feudal Japan? Tomorrow night can't get here soon enough. (And I'm also curious to check out Journeyman.)

I'm watching Holes, but I might just go watch the beginning of Georgia Rule in a bit.

[kyojikasshu]

Georgia Rule


No offense, but EWWWWW...


... and by that, I mean EWWWWWWW...

I continue to hold true to my vow not to watch another live second of Detroit Lions football, unless they are over .500 and in contention by Thanksgiving; if they're not there, I'll continue to shun them completely.

Just as well that I avoided them today in particular, because the Philadelphia Eagles' throwback uniforms were ugly as all out.

I'm resuming Tylor, picking up with the 9th episode, "When You Wish Upon A Flower".

I'm guessing you don't like the movie? :P

Now I'm watching Hannah Montana for a bit.

[TransWarpDrive]

After watching the Cubs beat the Pirates 8 - 0, I watched an episode of "Hannah Montana" - the one where Miley defies her dad's wishes by sneaking off to Florida to compete in a charity concert against an obnoxious pop singer. There was a scene where Robby Ray (her dad) and Jackson (her older brother) are sitting back on the plane in coach, and the little kid sitting behind Jackson keeps kicking the back of Jackson's seat. When Jackson turns to confront the kid, the boy's dad - a big muscular guy with a Mohawk haircut - glares menacingly at Jackson, making him back down.
That scene bothers me every time I see it, because I've experienced that sitch far too often in real life. Some kid acts up in public, and when an adult who's not his or her parent confronts the kid, the kid's parent, instead of apologizing and disciplining the kid, defends the little brat's actions and gets hostile toward the other adult for yelling at their kid. The parent's attitude in such confrontations quite often is, "How dare you yell at my kid? He can do whatever he wants, no matter how disruptive he's being. Now mind your own business!"
It seems to me that a lot of folks are becoming more self-absorbed and less considerate of others' rights and feelings, which is only going to result in more scenes like the one above. In consequence, we're going to see civilized behavior on the decline as people step on other folks' toes (so to speak). :unsure:
Sorry - I just had to get that off my chest. I'll get off my soapbox now, and we can go back to discussing TV shows, cable, and movies.

The best experience I ever had with that was on a military contract flight to Italy from the US. Most of the passengers were dependants and there was a high proportion of small children. When the two kids behind me were'nt running up and dpwn the aisles, they were kicking the back of my seat, by contrast the little boy in the seat in front of me sat quietly with his parents and would look over the back, fascinated with the shoulder boards on my summer white uniform. We were about halfway between Iceland and Ireland when I discovered that I was the senior officer on the plane (basically, the crew was trying to decide whether to refuel at Shannon or or continue on to Germany, according to the rules they are suppossed to consult with the officer in charge of troops, which, by default, was me. I voted for Shannon). Awash in the glow of my newly discovered status I told the father of the two annoying kids that he had two choices: get them under control or get of the plane in Ireland, at whihc point getting to where he was going would be his problem, not the Navy's.
The remainder of the flight was pleasant, the duty free shop at Shannon was very nice (as was the bar) and I landed at Capodochino looking like a 19th century type, with only one shoulder board (hey, I figured that good behavior should be rewarded).

I did catch the interview with the university president on GMA this morning, before leaving for work, talking about having this guy in to speak. All I can hope for is that maybe, just maybe, people like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad might actually come to realize that not everybody hates everybody else who's not exactly like them. I'd be shocked if someone like that did have such a moment of clarity, though.



On a lighter note, I am so ready for tonight's episode of Heroes. Four hours, 20 minutes and counting....

That rendition came out in the '70's, with the hostage crisis, right? The rendition I first heard was in 2003, right before we went into Iraq. "Bomb, bomb, bomb... bomb, bomb Iraq." :rolleyes: :dubiety:

With the fuss over Iran, it seems to have changed back. :thumbdown:

He just hides it well.Hides it well...? :huh: I don't think he's ever looked up "tact" in a dictionary.

Many of the missiles and tanks in the weapons parade had "Death to Israel" and "Down with America" on them. Yes, just the thing to do right before you come here... :ohwell:

I'm about to watch "Nursery Crimes/Chasing Rufus". Not the best episode, but hey! It's KP.:)

Most of the rhetoric from Iran is for home consumption, pretty much the same deal with Hugo (call me Ugo) Chavez, The Iranian economy is so fouled up that he's trying to distract his people so he and the rest of theayatollahs can stay in power. It's not working as well as it used to.

Today, I watched my tape of last night's SciFi stuff, namely the season premiere of Stargate: Atlantis and the penultimate episode of the third series of Doctor Who.

After that, I caught the first game of the NHL's regular season, held in London, between the Anaheim Ducks and the Los Angeles Kings. The owner of the Kings also owns a number of sports interests in England, including football teams, and the 02 Arena where they played this game (and tomorrow's game as well). The only problem was that the game was delayed by about half an hour, as they had problems with getting the lights back on after the anthems.

Then I watched Code Monkeys on G4. After that, a whole lotta nothin'.

So have I. I've always liked seafood, especially crab meat. "Deadliest Catch" is interesting because I never realized the risks those fishermen take to bring crab to our dinner tables. They truly earn the money they make during each crab season.
As to what I'm watching, well, I just finished watching "Larry's Birthday" on DC. Poor Kim; not being a gamer or SF/fantasy fan, she wasn't at all happy when she took Larry to the comic shop, was she?;):laugh:

The SciFi network seems to suffer from the belief that CGI special effects are more important than good scripts and good acting all too often. They've had quite a few good shows on there, but most have migrated from somewhere else, the Stargate franchiose being a good example. I do give them points for some shows such as Eureka! however, though I am still somewhat confused as to why they periodically show wrestling given the number of channels already given over to it and it's lack of relation to science fiction.

Funny; that's what David Warner said about playing the bad guys...
(FYI, he played Jack the Ripper in the 1979 film "Time After Time." He also played Sark in "Tron," as well as Captain Sawyer in the Horatio Hornblower movies "Mutiny" and "Retribution." Not to forget his role as Chancellor Gorkon in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.")

Wish they'd make more of those Hornblower movies, I bought the DVD box set and watch them periodically.

Wish they'd make more of those Hornblower movies, I agree. I'd like to see the Lady Barbara Wellesley story arc on screen.

(I was in London in 2004 and went to St. Paul's to visit Nelson's tomb. When I saw the Duke of Wellington is also interred there I told mrs campy, "Look, it's Horatio Hornblower's brother-in-law!" I wonder if they called each other 'Bil'?)

[Fireand'chutes77]

I'm reading the Beloit College Mindset List (http://www.beloit.edu/~pubaff/mindset/index.php).

The point of the listing is to give an idea how incoming teens might view things, and how historical events register on our collective conceiousness, which enables teachers to better relate events of the past to our current experiences.

It's hilarious, snarky, pointed, potent, and depressing all at the same time.

To quote the site:


Our effort is to identify a worldview of 18 year-olds in the fall of 2007. We take a risk in some cases of making generalizations, particularly given that our students at Beloit College for instance come from every state and scores of nations.

The "Class of 2011" refers to students entering college this year. They are generally 18 which suggests they were born in 1989.

The list identifies the experiences and event horizons of students as they commence higher education and is not meant to reflect on their preparatory education.


The lists for 2010 and 2011 mostly covers what I've experienced growing up; the earlier years mostly involve kids who were born in the mid-to-late '80's.

Two lines in particular that make me grin and wince at the same time:

2010 class: The Soviet Union has never existed, and therefore is about as scary as the student union. (A student union, according to my dad, is another word for the Commons or Quad. Weird.)

2011 class: When all else fails, the Prozac defense has always been a possibility.
