Merla will be forever disturbed by them making Starbuck a chica.

Heh. Speaking of changes, anyone seen the commercial for the new Kojak? He's being played by Ving Rhames.

B E C K · « **Reply #122 on:** Feb 25, 2005, 06:05:02 PM »

I haven't seen the commerical but I had heard of that. I guess baldness is the only necessary requirement. "Kojak is back and now black!"

Extra Zero · « **Reply #123 on:** Feb 25, 2005, 06:06:45 PM »

Haha! Yeah, basically...

Bernie AKA · « **Reply #124 on:** Mar 01, 2005, 01:17:30 PM »

Wonder if he'll play him as the same laid-back sucker-nosher or throw in some of Eddie, the one-armed cop from Sin?

Extra Zero · « **Reply #125 on:** Mar 01, 2005, 03:50:10 PM »

From the commercials, he looks to be pretty laid back. They even show him with the standard red sucker.

I figure he'll be more like Luthor from the Mission: Impossible movies. I read an article on the new Kojak in Satellite Direct last week, and it seems they're keeping it close to the original series.

I'm glad I didn't live in an era where Telly Savalas was considered a sex symbol.

Me too.

Bernie AKA · « **Reply #128 on:** Mar 02, 2005, 03:37:17 PM »

It was frightening, trust me. Worse than the decor. I always thought he was gross, and seeing posters of him lounging suggestively around with an open shirt or something..... :x

So Bob on That 70's Show was closer to what women actually wanted back then?

Bernie AKA · « **Reply #130 on:** Mar 02, 2005, 04:13:38 PM »

Ummm...no.

Evil Monkey-Tom · « **Reply #131 on:** Mar 02, 2005, 04:16:14 PM »

Thank god. I dun wanna eat that much cheese.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #132 on:** Mar 02, 2005, 04:17:10 PM »

Wh-what?

B E C K · « **Reply #133 on:** Mar 08, 2005, 01:21:15 AM »

On-topic, how about that Zatch Bell? I only saw the last twenty minutes, but it's weird-looking shit. Why are those kids lightning wielding slaves? joe? joe?

Extra Zero · « **Reply #134 on:** Mar 08, 2005, 03:10:33 AM »

It looks lame. That kid didn't come off as much as a genius as he did a complete dick.

B E C K · « **Reply #135 on:** Mar 08, 2005, 04:28:06 AM »

It's at least better than Duel Masters and DICE, but I guess that's not saying much.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #136 on:** Mar 08, 2005, 12:33:21 PM »

By a slim, slim margin. That says very little.

MegatronYES · « **Reply #137 on:** Mar 08, 2005, 01:36:08 PM »

It says more than your right eye sees.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #138 on:** Mar 08, 2005, 01:37:17 PM »

Oh okay. Considering that my right eye sees fine.

MegatronYES · « **Reply #139 on:** Mar 08, 2005, 01:58:26 PM »

Um.

Fuck.

B E C K · « **Reply #141 on:** Mar 08, 2005, 11:23:36 PM »

I don't have a right. I have a left and another left.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #142 on:** Mar 09, 2005, 01:08:08 AM »

Yeah...

joe · « **Reply #143 on:** Mar 09, 2005, 11:47:40 PM »

Uh... I missed it. Although I've seen around 30 eps subbed. Not sure if I should be admitting that. <_<

Hmm... I think it's like every 200 years, 500 years, something like that, a hundred demons are sent to Earth to find human partners and fight in a competition to determine the next ruler of Hell. For some reason a lot of the demons resemble small children (ask Bernie) although that's not always the case.

So you've got your human-demon pairs, with the human wielding the spellbook and calling out spells to trigger the demon's attacks. Whenever the bond between the human and demon strengthens, a new spell appears in the spellbook, essentially "leveling up" the demon. That's it in a nutshell.

It's fucking goofy to the extreme, and while I can't vouch for the dub, the Japanese VAs can be hysterical at times. On the flip side, the show can get a little too sentimental now and then, which adds to the whole "I can't believe I'm watching this" factor.

Anyway, you could say it's relatively popular, with around 18 manga volumes and close to 100 anime episodes so far. You can chell out the trailer for the second movie here...

Now I'm kind of craving it. There's this one character who's supposed to be an international singing sensation, although all his songs are either about how great he is or how much he loves squeezing tits. I'm guessing that'll hit the cutting room floor on Toonami.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #144 on:** Mar 09, 2005, 11:58:41 PM »

Sounds alot like Yu-Yu-Hakusho only less structured...

*goes back to playing Republic Commando*

joe · « **Reply #145 on:** Mar 10, 2005, 12:21:41 AM »

I can see it meeting an early end on CN. I'm kind of surprised Rave lasted as long as it did.

B E C K · « **Reply #146 on:** Mar 10, 2005, 01:40:28 AM »

Isn't Rave still going on?

Evil Monkey-Tom · « **Reply #147 on:** Mar 10, 2005, 09:51:08 AM »

I saw a comercial for it a lil while ago. They need to whore out plu (sp?)

joe · « **Reply #148 on:** Mar 10, 2005, 10:45:16 AM »

Huh. So it is. My mistake. Perhaps Zatch has a chance afterall.
