I've been a fan since "The Brother from Another Planet" as well.

Was sorry to see him blow in T2. Even when the wife appears in TSCC, you go 
back to the moment when he couldn't hold down that det switch any 
longer...maybe the Resistance finds his DNA in the future and brings him back 
to write the code needed to take out the Terminators?

Anyone watching "Merlin"? I believe former "Buffy" star Anthony Head is one of 
the stars. I keep missing it. I've heard it's a lightweight telling of the 
Arthurian era. Someone likened it to "One Tree Hill" in the Middle Ages, or 
perhaps, the lighter aspects of "Smallville" once all the youngsters took over.
I'm curious if it's worth a viewing?

[scifinoir2] "Samurai Jack" Reruns on Boomerang

[Keith Johnson]

For the past couple of weeks I've been enjoying reruns of this, one of the 
greatest animated series I've ever seen. If you've never seen "Samurai Jack", 
then do yourself a favor and check it out. Don't let the oddly flat looking 
animation throw you. Don't be turned off by the idea of a Samurai nicknamed 
"Jack" in a strange future. If you see a couple of eps that seem kinda silly or 
light, don't give up. Tartokovsky crafted an incredibly good show here, full of 
action, adventure, and some surprisingly effective drama. I can think of a 
couple of shows that literally had my mouth hanging open, and a couple that had 
me near misty eyed (see Jack battle the cursed Viking warrior for example). 
It's fun when they riff on that anime standard of characters freezing in 
moments of high action: you know, when a character delivers a fatal sword 
stroke, then freezes in that move, while the enemy dies, or explodes, as the 
case is here. There's good music, good writing, and memorable characters. 

If Boomerang had to replace Justice League, this is one of the better choices 
to take its place.

The third "Eureka" star on the show. The actress who plays Jo, and the guy who

I agree. Whenever I see her in roles that don't showcase her major toughness 
and sexiness--like playing "the wife" in "The One"--I like her, but feel she's 
being underused. It'd be like Michele Forbes playing a soccer mom.

I don't know from the pornstar. I love Rosario Dawson, but am not as hormonally

another who's loin-exciting abilities i've never gotten. I just don't find her

But Gugino, man she has it in spades! I still enjoyed Karen Sisco, and think it

Believe me, my love for Carla Gugino is only exceeded by my love for Halle 
Berry, Rosario Dawson and porn star Jasmine Cashmere (all of whom I will watch 
in ANYTHING). I wanted to love "Karen Sisko," I really did! I DVRed it and 
everything! I was rooting for Gugino. I was rooting for Robert Forster. Heck, I 
was rooting for Danny DeVito's production company. But I found it slow, 
plodding and, finally, unwatchable. It had none of the nerve and verve of "Out 
of Sight," which was primo, and, more importantly none of the chemistry George 
Clooney and Jennifer Lopez brought to the movie.

Anyone watching "Merlin"? I believe former "Buffy" star Anthony Head is one of 
the stars. I keep missing it. I've heard it's a lightweight telling of the 
Arthurian era. Someone likened it to "One Tree Hill" in the Middle Ages, or 
perhaps, the lighter aspects of "Smallville" once all the youngsters took over. 
I'm curious if it's worth a viewing?

Re: [scifinoir2] An homage to Homer, African style

[Mr. Worf]

I doubt that Homer would mind at all. Have you seen the documentary on
Seasame Street called "The world according to Seasame street?" It gives a
fascinating glimpse into how political some governments get about things
like kid's tv shows. The whole "Tinky Winky" gay thing comes to mind. There
must have been a lot of dialog about the Simpsons.

An homage to Homer, African style












   






















  




LUANDA (Reuters) - An Angolan
advertising agency has given Homer Simpson and his family an African
makeover, raising eyebrows among fans of one of America's most
cherished sitcoms.



The Simpsons, broadcast in more than 90 countries, have always been
portrayed as yellow but the advertising agency, Executive Center in
Luanda, decided to turn them brown in a promotional video aired by
Africa's digital satellite TV service DSTV in Angola.



Homer, Marge, Lisa and Bart are portrayed as Africans sitting on
their over-used family couch. The family is shown wearing
African-inspired clothing and their living room has little more than
two huge loud speakers.



Even Homer's cherished beer has been replaced by Cuca, the Budweiser of Angola.



"Couldn't they have left Marge's hair blue?" said Ryan, a blogger,
in a post below a picture of Marge with a jet black afro hairdo.



The creative director of Executive Center, Antonio Pascoa, said:
"Our goal was to adapt the satirical parody of the typical middle-class
American family to Angola.



"If people don't like it than I guess they don't have a sense of humor big 
enough to enjoy the Simpsons."

[scifinoir2] Re: True Blood!!!

[ravenadal]

This season of "True Blood" has been a hot mess!  Watching I often  feel like 
Rosario Dawson's character in Clerks II when she walks in on a man having sex 
with a donkey in the middle of the fast food emporium she manages: "I'm 
disgusted and repulsed and...and(yet)I can't look away!"

I was elated that Lafayette was back but I was totally not feeling his chained 
in the basement arc.  I would have almost preferred for him to have died (as he 
did in the book) than to see him chained up like a dog.

  If you like Carla Gugino (I do!  I do!) you must see "Judas 
Kiss" (1998).  To date, outside of a hand full of "Entourage" episodes, it is 
the only vehicle to take full advantage of Ms. Gugino's many charms.  It also 
had quirkly performances by Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson to recommend it.

An homage to Homer, African style












   






















  




LUANDA (Reuters) - An Angolan
advertising agency has given Homer Simpson and his family an African
makeover, raising eyebrows among fans of one of America's most
cherished sitcoms.



The Simpsons, broadcast in more than 90 countries, have always been
portrayed as yellow but the advertising agency, Executive Center in
Luanda, decided to turn them brown in a promotional video aired by
Africa's digital satellite TV service DSTV in Angola.



Homer, Marge, Lisa and Bart are portrayed as Africans sitting on
their over-used family couch. The family is shown wearing
African-inspired clothing and their living room has little more than
two huge loud speakers.



Even Homer's cherished beer has been replaced by Cuca, the Budweiser of Angola.



"Couldn't they have left Marge's hair blue?" said Ryan, a blogger,
in a post below a picture of Marge with a jet black afro hairdo.



The creative director of Executive Center, Antonio Pascoa, said:
"Our goal was to adapt the satirical parody of the typical middle-class
American family to Angola.



"If people don't like it than I guess they don't have a sense of humor big 
enough to enjoy the Simpsons."

Not to get too far in the weeds on the show.But seems to be few vampires of 
color.Also  what if slaves were "made" could enough  of them could have :
 
1. Seized power
2. Fled to freedom
3. Made more slaves to outlive the slavemaster

It's a guilty pleasure but I can't stop watching. The weird thing is Sookie and 
Bill are my least favorite parts of the show. 

This season has been insane. If you like the Maryanne stuff it's great but if 
you don't this season has probably been a bit of a letdown. Things that I liked 
about this season:

The Hoyt and Jessica romance is sweet and funny.

[scifinoir2] Re: "Eureka" Thoughts - Joe Morton

[angelababycat]

I've been a fan since "The Brother from Another Planet" as well.

Was sorry to see him blow in T2.  Even when the wife appears in TSCC, you go 
back to the moment when he couldn't hold down that det switch any 
longer...maybe the Resistance finds his DNA in the future and brings him back 
to write the code needed to take out the Terminators?

[scifinoir2] Re: True Blood!!!

[daikaiju66]

It's a guilty pleasure but I can't stop watching. The weird thing is Sookie and 
Bill are my least favorite parts of the show. 

This season has been insane. If you like the Maryanne stuff it's great but if 
you don't this season has probably been a bit of a letdown. Things that I liked 
about this season:

The Hoyt and Jessica romance is sweet and funny. 

Lafayette is back to normal. 

Jason Stackhouse is insane and funny as hell. Only he could have a character 
arc like this.

Sam Merlotte and Andy Bellefleur are my favorite mismatched allies.Hearing 
drunken Andy screaming "Pig!!!" was too awesome for words.

Eric Northman is a manipulative S.O.B. and my favorite of the vamps. 

I'd like to see more Pam(Eric's second in command) on a regular basis. She's 
awesome.

[scifinoir2] Karen Sisko (was: Re: Basterds" Take Box Office,"District 9" Holds Strong)

[ravenadal]

If you like Carla Gugino (I do!  I do!) you must see "Judas Kiss" (1998).  To 
date, outside of a hand full of "Entourage" episodes, it is the only vehicle to 
take full advantage of Ms. Gugino's many charms.  It also had quirkly 
performances by Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson to recommend it.

I
can't stress enough how much Joe Morton brings to "Eureka". Morton's
one of those actors with a face and bearing you just trust and respect. He can
play a likeable guy, a strong leader, a tortured and confused soul. I have
followed him for years, whether it's been great turns in John Sayles
flicks--and it's saying a lot that Morton is a fav of Sayles'--having the lead
in the shortlived TV series "Under One Roof", playing a memorable
role as a former boxer turned transvestite on "New York Undercover",
or even his guest stint as Whitley's love interest on "A Different
World".  Even his bit in "Terminator 2" is memorable. The
anguish he feels at what his work has caused for the future is palpable, and I
hated to see the character die. 



It's a crime that Morton hasn't gotten the major roles and respect he deserves.
He's done a lot of stuff, but never got to that A-list on TV or film. And while
I'm really happy to see him get steady work on "Eureka", and like the
steadiness his character brings to that world, I keep hoping to see him get
some meatier roles. That's especially true as long as the showrunners seem
hesitant to give him a real life. Like I said, he's mayor now, but that angle's
not explored, and I really dislike them killing off Kim--twice.



And for those of you young 'un's who don't understand my praise of Morton, do
yourself a favor and look up his great performances in the movie "City of
Hope" (a John Sayles joint), the shortlived but well done TV series
"Tribeca" (which co-starred Carl Lumbly and Lawrence Fishburne), and
especially, the classic Sayles' film "The Brother From Another
Planet". That last, in which Morton plays an alien slave on the run, is an
amazing performance given that he speaks not a word, and must convey everything
with just his facial expressions and body language.



I wonder if the "Eureka" showrunners really understand what a great
asset they have in Morton...?

The best actors on the show are Joe Morton, Richardson, and
Ferguson. All of them are good actors, and I think they honestly rise above
material that tries to make them cliches too much. Ferguson is a stronger man
than Carter gets to be: that befuddled schtick gets old. Richardson has more
warmth and personality than her tough Allison character. Morton actually makes
Henry the most well-rounded character, a tribut to the man's phenomenal talents
(I think he's one of the most underrated and underused actors working).



But I keep noticing that even as I like the stories--and I am liking this
season--i keep seeing "types" in all the characters, main stars and
guests. They are very by-the-book at times. It's the actors that seem to rise
above it with their likeability and acting chops. They need to round out the
characterizations just a bit...

I don't know from the pornstar. I love Rosario Dawson, but am not as hormonally 
fired up by her as the rest of you guys. Halle Berry is not bad, but she's 
another who's loin-exciting abilities i've never gotten. I just don't find her 
to be smokin' hot. 
But Gugino, man she has it in spades! I still enjoyed Karen Sisco, and think it 
would have gotten better with time.

  Believe me, my love for Carla Gugino is only exceeded by my 
love for Halle Berry, Rosario Dawson and porn star Jasmine Cashmere (all of 
whom I will watch in ANYTHING).  I wanted to love "Karen Sisko," I really 
did! I DVRed it and everything! I was rooting for Gugino.  I was rooting for 
Robert Forster.  Heck, I was rooting for Danny DeVito's production company. But 
I found it slow, plodding and, finally, unwatchable.  It had none of the nerve 
and verve of "Out of Sight," which was primo, and, more importantly none of the 
chemistry George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez brought to the movie.

Funny! I have nothing against her at all. I'd have to say she's pretty, she 
just doesn't give me that "wow!" factor when I look at her.  While we're at it, 
yes, the following women would also be on my list of "Don't pant and salivate 
like many other people" :

Gina Torres - she's tough and attractive as heck, though 

Rosario Dawson (love her, but just don't see the wild physical attraction) 

The Sister on "Warehouse 13" 

Naomi Campbell (although her attitude has turned off most men)  

Eva Mendes (really don't get that one)  

Nichele Nichols (nice gams, though, and boy did she work that costume in 
"Mirror, Mirror"!  

Angelina Jolie - She can look alluring, like a cat, at the right times, but 
mostly is too gaunt and strained looking for me  

Jeri Ryan - Seven certainly filled out the outer space catsuit, but so could a 
lot of women

People that did literally make me breathless when I first beheld them, and 
continue to turn me into a drooling idiot :

Gabrielle Union (looks like a living doll, I find it hard to pull my eyes from 
her face) 

Charisma Carpenter - one of many reasons I started watching "Angel"

Sanaa Lathan - Those soulful, vulnerable looking eyes, and those lips, I'd 
watch her sell Stride gum!

Nia Long (something about her in "Love Jones") 

Kenya Moore - first saw her on Arsenio Hall wearing a tight red dress with a 
slit up the side. Arsenio could literally barely speak, and I was wondering 
"Why the hell didn't I watch the Miss USA pageant?!". 

Catherine Zeta-Jones - I just kept staring at her in "Zorro", those long 
brunette locks, that pert nose, the eyes--wow 

Roselyn Sanchez - tough and sexy, with a throaty voice and accent that just 
make me melt 

Selma Hayek - curves in all the right places, and that voice! I'm not into food 
and foreplay, but seeing her slowly and lovingly stir a pot of some brew she'd 
cooked up on Keenan Ivory Wayans' talk show had me all but licking the screen!

Anyone watching "Merlin"? I believe former "Buffy" star Anthony Head is one of 
the stars. I keep missing it. I've heard it's a lightweight telling of the 
Arthurian era. Someone likened it to "One Tree Hill" in the Middle Ages, or 
perhaps, the lighter aspects of "Smallville" once all the youngsters took over.
I'm curious if it's worth a viewing?
