Thx John..
Down loading now. looking forward to it,

Fuck the A-Team! Why is no-one making a Six Million Dollar Man update? Come on, Hollywood, this is free money, for fucksakes! Jason Statham is just sitting around, waiting for some big ass action film to turn him into the new Bruce Willis, and no-one has put this together? Sort yourselves out! Cancel Dallas, because you know that’s just more soul cancer for the world, and put the money into Jason Statham as The Six Billion Dollar Man!
You know it makes sense.
Did Gollum die at the end of the last Rings film? I don’t know too much about this Hobbit thing, but I’d love to see more of Gollum. Easily the best thing about those films.
If they’re doing a Wolverine spin-off, how about a Gollum one? That guy could get in all sorts of adventures, many of them including strip clubs, gangsters and whatnot. You know, it’s Lord Of The Rings meets Crocodile Dundee!
Hey, I just pitched an idea! My second one of the day. Are you listening to me, movie mogul types? People want to see Gollum putting smoking cigars and putting money into G-strings! Also, Jason Statham as Steve Austin (the Six Billion Dollar Man, not the vaguely gay looking wrestler).
I think you’re right about the Tom Cruise thing. A self-deprecating comedy could do wonders for his career.
I remember him doing a pretty funny skit with Ben Stiller, where Stiller was supposed to be his stunt double, so he’s not totally above poking fun at himself. Maybe he should do Extras, the place where all good-humoured celebrity types go?
Do you watch Extras in Canada?
P.S. Sorry about all the posts, not to mention any spelling and grammatical errors contained therein. Too much sugar this morning.
Dude, Gollum is dead.
Would have like to have heard more about the Shatner/Nimoy meet.
steve was actually the third peson to die in 10 years of a stingray
its been a sad day inaustralia they have been running all these specials on tv on steve.
Gollum is dead? Okay, thanks Lou, but you really rained on my parade there. I had a whole epic trilogy planned out where Gollum goes to space and becomes president and wears a fat suit and stuff (not necessarily in that order). Would it still be funny if a CGI character wore a fat suit? I don’t suppose we’ll ever know.
Where to start.
Well, since I didn’t comment before on The A Team, let’s start there. (Note: “the man” is Stephen Cannell)
First, John, the A Team DID hit what they aimed at. Usually, it was car tires. But they made it a point (and for the sake of TV at the time) to not shoot to kill if at all possible. Also, they were “for hire” and the clients went through a “interview” process. The show lost steam, although it seemed to open up the story a small bit when in the last season, the MPs caught up with them…and due to taking down so many crooks, were pardoned…and were offered to be Government sponsored “off the books”.
Second, you can’t get the original cast back. George Peppard passed on a number of years ago.
Now, recasting of Mr T’s BA (Bad Ass) Barakus would seem like a tough thing. Or is it?
Is Bob Sapp a possibility? Face? I like the idea of Christian Bale. I think it would be an advantage if you got a good actor who could, in some scenes, retain a British accent and in others, various American accents. But not too handsome. But know this: Face has to drive the new Corvette, or some other hot car. Murdock? I’d say… Sean William Scott.
Hannibal: well, if Bruce Willis says yes…I’m all for it.
Hmmm…
yes, a Six Mil Dollar man flick would be great. But I’m still waiting on the Max Headroom revival.
On Steve Irwin: Shortly before the podcast, news reports suggest that the Croc Hunter wasn’t looking for Stingrays. It caught him by surprise.
On Hobbit: New Line was bought by Warners several years ago; they are a “Time Warner” company. The 2007 start date seems hopeful, and I think they will do everything in hier power to get Jackson behind the camera. I also agree (as I stated before) that they will need another actor for Bilbo. Gandalf’s comment was only to be a decent guest.
And…yes Gollum died at the end of “King” commenters, “Hobbit” is a prequel to Rings, he lives in this film. Alright?
-Sealer
Thanks, Mr Sealer, for clearing up the Hobbit stuff. I was a little down when I heard he was dead, but at least he died doing what he loved. Gollum, I mean.
It’s good to know the crazy little fellow will be back in this prequel – I just hope they don’t make him all whiny and kid-like, like in those other prequels you may have heard about. As long as there are scenes where he gets to eat too many hotdogs, get drunk, steal a car, and possibly wear a funny hat of some sort, that’s okay with me.
Darren’s suggestion of Sean William Scott for Murdock is genious. What a great suggestion! My only concern is that he may come accross as too young depending on who else they cast.
Femtroopers: Those outfits are expensive as hell to make. For those that don’t know, the 90% of the Fighting 501′s custom make their suits from moulded plastic so the custom breast plates are not that uncommon. On the other hand, those pics are the first that I’ve seen of the femtroopers (though they’re ‘legendary’ hahaha). Check out http://www.501st.com/ for all the details. I’m not sure if it’s cool or a little too weird. If nothing else, it’s a good place to kill a few minutes
Great show. The coverage of the expo was excellent but I’m wondering if you’re going to post or share with us any more on the Nemoi/Shatner talk. That would be OUTSTANDING!
…and before the purists start knocking me, yes, BA stood for Bad Attitude. In the film version it should be Bad Ass….
Femtroopers: I remember seeing some photos a couple of years ago, and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets… They still have the same effect :)
Black Hole: I actually have an old copy of the Black Hole comic (movie adaptation) laying in a box somewhere at my parents place. Unfortunately for Darren, it’s in my strange, foreign, European language ;P
This is the first time I’ve listened to the AE using headphones, and I noticed that it’s actually in stereo. Is that really neccessary? It would save almost 50% bandwidth if you reduce it to mono, and it would still have the same quality content in the same (one channel) quality… wouldn’t it?
Reports are in that Irwins death was caught on camera. Its being held by police but should be destroyed I think. Its said that he ripped the stingray barb out of his chest before dying. Fucking hardcore.
a VAN? if you reimagine the A-Team they wouldn’t be driving ANYTHING but a HUMMER.
I “busted your chops”, Doug? I guess I did, but you touched a raw nerve with that earlier comment.
I can get sarcasm, particularly about death, and your Steve Irwin piece was funny. Good show.
