That is really ironic!!?!

JUST last night I was watching Seinfeld and it was the episode where Newman and Kramer are headed to Michigan to get a better return on their recycling deposit.

Anyway, there’s that scene after Kramer kicks him out of the mail-truck, to catch up with the mechanic who took Jerry’s car…and as Newman was stumbling up the hill, headed to the farmer’s (…and daughter’s) house; I was thinking: “Gee…he looks just like he did in Jurassic Park…fumbling to get off-of the island with the embryos!?”

And then, I continued to think about what other roles he could possible play-well, without that goofy, annoying, guy-you-want-to-punch-in-the-face attitude…

Guess, I’ll have to check out Punisher…(like I wasn’t going to already, anyway…).

Speaking of comics:
1) Wayne Knight as Microchip and Dominic West as Jigsaw:
actually, I was crossing my fingers for Michael Keaton for Jigsaw; West is an interesting choice however. As far as Knight is concerned, he has shed the pounds over the years, he doesn’t look like he did in Seinfeld or Jurassic Park. The Mircochip character is a dumb character by the way. I think THAT’S what Gio meant, folks.

But if he meant comic relief, even the previous film had a little of that.
Besides, I’m more interested in seeing actor Doug Hutchison as Looney Bin Jim. Hutchison, of course, is best known for playing Tooms in the X-Files and Percy in Green Mile.

Batman/Dark Knight:
it is currently being said that the accidental death occured off-set.

Face Off :Special Ed. DVD.
You mean I have to buy this again? Let’s see what the extras are. I’m also curious as what that second disc is all about. How they did the boat chase?

****

Eli Roth on Heroes Origins.
Kind of like the hype with Quentin Tarintino directing an ER episode. They do a good job. So what? Besides, it should be noted Roth is restricted by television. But I also…wonder…is one of the ‘new batch’ going to be something like, say, Swamp Thing /Man-Thing/Heap?
Dark Horse’s Concrete?

We shall see.

Alone In The Dark 2.
Hey, *someone* out there, Gio…is doing this for the money. Remember that! Yes, even whores have to live too…

And again, the Heroes-opener was the best second season opener since the words “I’m gonna need a hacksaw” was uttered

And John, really gotta disagree with you. The writers have enough of my faith… I think you just got pulled into a few sucker punches that will be revealed in a few episodes.

Goal wasn’t to wrap up S1… it was to set up S2.. something they did admirably IMHO.

P.S. the dude with the Irish accent at the end CANNOT do an Irish accent properly…..and the ADR was frickin’ horrible.

Newman would make an excellent addition to the Punisher movie, especially if he plays MicroChip. :D

THIS IS THE WAY ACTUAL COMIC BOOKS WORK, JOHN. THE FIRST ISSUE OF A STORYLINE DOESN’T “LAY OUT” THE STORY ARC FOR THE NEXT 23 ISSUES. THE STORY UNFOLDS DYNAMICALLY WITHOUT US NEEDING THE PLOT SPOONFED TO US IN THE FIRST ISSUE. THE 5 OR 6 SUB PLOTS WILL INTERCONNECT LATER ON, I’M SURE. JUST WAIT FOR IT, IT WILL BE MORE SATISFYING THAT WAY.

2) Dad taking secret phone calls he excuses himself from dinner table from so thers can’t hear his conversation…. and family isn’t the LEAST bit suspicious considering his past and all he does now is work in a paper store? LAME.

ARE YOU KIDDING? BOTH CLAIRE AND MRS. HRG GAVE HIM FUNNY LOOKS AS HE LEFT THE TABLE. AND SINCE HRG LIED JUST AS BADLY AS CLAIRE DID (AND IN THE SAME WAY) YOU KNOW EACH IS ONTO THE OTHER, JUST A LITTLE BIT…

3) Nathan has picture plastered all over New York and wins an ellection… but 4 months and a beard later an no one recognizes him? LAME.

NATHAN WAS THE ABSOLUTE PICTURE OF POLITICAL IMAGERY UNTIL HIS “DISAPPEARANCE”. NOT A HAIR OUT OF PLACE (OR ON HIS FACE), AND HE NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND DEAD IN THE BARS HE FREQUENTS NOW. IF ANYONE APPROACHED HIM WITH THE “HEY, AREN’T YOU…?” A BRUSQUE RESPONSE TOTALLY UNCHARASTERISTIC OF THE NATHAN PETRELLI THE PUBLIC KNEW WOULD KEEP THEM AT BAY. IF SUPERMAN CAN GET AWAY WITH THE “GLASSES DISGUISE” THEN NATHAN IS TOTALLY COVERED HERE.

4) Hiro’s Dad’s power never revealed… and he gets killed by just being pushed off a roof??? LAME.

THE LIST OF SUPERHEROES WHO COULD BE KILLED IN THE SAME WAY: PROFESSOR X, CYCLOPS, ELEKTRA, IRON FIST, HAWKEYE, GREEN ARROW, PUNISHER…ALL STREET PIZZA LIKE HIRO’S DAD. AND SOME OTHERS SUCH AS CAPTAIN AMERICA, BATMAN HAVE WAYS OF SAVING THEMSELVES FROM A FALL, BUT IF THEY HIT THE GROUND THAT’S IT. HIRO’S DAD BITING IT THIS WAY KEEPS THE HEROES FROM SEEMING INVINCIBLE: UNTIMATELY SOME OF THEM ARE JUST AS VULNERABLE AS THE REST OF US.

5) Bad guy in shadows looks just like Sylar’s bad guy in shadows with a hoodie. LAME.

THIS IS JUST SETTING UP THE BIG REVEAL LATER. BUT I AGREE THAT THE INITIAL SETUP COULD HAVE BEEN DONE BETTER.

6) Little girl… worst… child… actress… EVER.

HARDLY AN EMMY WORTHY PERFORMANCE, BUT DUDE, THAT’S JUST HARSH….
