This is getting tiresome already man! Show of hands onegai of those who think we should stick to adult anime and anime related films only? After all how many 12 year oldsters we got here anyway?
From now on I'll post this list twice monthly and I'll keep it under 'Files' rather than 'Messages' or 'Blogs' (at www.Eons.com/groups/group/anime-a-holics/Files)
By the way Eons Help is correcting our blogs posting problems. They are tweaking the systems which is why we cannot carry out certain actions here. I am posting chapters under blogs thus:
The 'teaser' beginning of the chapter on blog's first page and the balance in the reply.
Hope you guys and gals like this new method of posting tv lists. A reminder that Sci Fi's
AniMonday at 11 PM ET is a double eppy of 'Gurren Lagann' (BGR anime) and a double eppy of 'The Rave Master' (a hilarious swords/sorcery anime a la InuYasha and TWHE as well as Onepiece. Cool series especially the location names like 'Hip Hop City' OK the 'Rave' gives Haru Glory's sword power but to defeat the evil ShadowGuards will require four 'Rave Stones' which have been scattered all across the world like the shards of the Shi Kon no Tama in IY and the spell fragments on TWHE!) .
Anyway that's all the anime for tonight. Tomorrow at 3:30 AM we'll have WitchBlade. IFC has dropped HellGirl after airing the final eppy of Season 1 last week. Not sure when or if they are gonna continue it and/or bring it back. Dammit that burns me up man!
Hey WitchBlade the film (with Sarah Pezzini not Masane Amaha- yech!) will hit theatres in a month or so as will DragonBall and Death Note is already out there showing. Many more anime based flicks are coming soon and they are filming Bebop with Keanu Reeves in Dave's role as Spike Steigel. For Jett I'd pick LF- Larry Fishburne or even MF- Morgan Freeman. Denzel Washington or Samuel L Jackson don't fit the mold. How about Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana as 'Ed' and Lindsay Lohan as Faye Valentine? (Rafe) Donnelly could be Tommie Lee Jones. Hey I oughta be a Hollywood cast finder eh? Gad, I wonder how much of a muckup they'll make of the 'Bebop', 'Swordfish II', 'Redtail' and 'Hammerhead'? I don't think Ed's power scooter had a name although we all know the computer she wore on her head with 'goggle monitors' was named 'Tomato'!
Here's the new Saturday night CN/AS lineup which begins earlier now for us at 12:30 AM ET following Star Wars the animated series at midnight. All times Eastern of course:
12:30AM to 1:30 AM Bleach (2 eppys)
1:30 AM to 2:30 AM Code Geass (2 eppys)- Sorry no more Shin Chan folks.
2:30 AM Fullmetal Alchemist
3:00 AM Death Note
3:30 AM Ghost in the Shell/Stand Alone Complex
4:00 AM Cowboy Bebop
4:30 AM Big 0
5:00 to 5:15 AM Rising Son (New one re raising a kid in Japan. Hope he ain't another Shin Chan Nohara eh?)
5:15 to 5:30 AM The Brak Show (Yuck! This show makes me vomit!)
5:30 AM to 6:00 AM InuYasha
Sad to see Naruto eliminated in favour of Ben 10 Alien Force which dominates Saturday evenings on CN. It follows Total Drama Island and 6Teen which is about teens in a shopping mall.
Before I forget we just watched Mallrats which is a Jay & Silent Bob teen comedy filmed in a New Jersey shopping mall. Jason Lee (Dave Seville in Chipmunks flick) played a comic fanatic and the special guest star was Stan Lee himself. If you saw Fantastic 4- Rise of the Silver Surfer you may have caught a cameo of him as one of the wedding guests at the Reed Richards/Sue Storm nuptials. In Mallrats he was an integral character. Stan was signing comics at the mall and helped out Jason with a few problems. Don't miss this flick or Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back when the goofs come to Hollywood. Cameos by Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) and Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia). He's a supervillain (natch- he voices 'em everywhere) and she's a nun (go figure eh?)
Anyhow Showtime is where we saw 'em- Showtime at COD.
A couple of Code Geass crossovers in this week's eppys. Two of the new 'Nightmares' (like Gundams) have unusual names: 'Guren' (as in 'Guren Lagann' the BGR anime series above) and 'Zangetsu' (as in the name of Ichigo Kurosaki's 'zampatou' sword in 'Bleach'. His has the voice of Richard Epcar who also voices the last of the Bounts- Kouga).
If anyone saw the PGA Masters Tourney did ya see the Japanese guy who finished third? OK let me clarify this. In golf when there's a playoff regardless of how many are involved there is only one winner. He or she gets the first place prize. The others in that playoff tie for second. In Chad Campbell and Kenny (Seattle Mariners' pitcher Gaylord's nephew) Perry's case that meant they would split the second and third place prize money. Coming in third Shingo Katayama gets 4th place loot and so on down the line. Angel Cabrera, Jr became the first Argentine to win the Masters and the first to win a second Major championship. The first Argy to win a Major was Roberto deVincenzo (1967 British Open). He almost won the Masters way back when but was DQ'd for failing to sign his scorecard. He had finished and in a sense already 'won' the tourney but rules are rules so the guy in second got the green jacket that time.
Anyway Katayama looks like a younger version of Haruka Takachiho who created the Angels, don't ya think?.
Getting into DLs and ULs and burning CDs again. Trying to get into attaching videos to messages like I do pix now but it's damned tricky folks!
Anyone figure out who AS aka AH was yet? It's their birthday today- 30 April and hint- think European birthplace. Good Luck!
OK it was Adolph Schikelgruber who became Adolph 'Der Fuehrer' Hitler who was born 30 April in Austria and then became Chancellor of Germany by a single vote. Doesn't Fuehrer King Bradley on FMA look a lot like Onkel Adolph? That State Alchemist Army banner reminds me of the Black Eagle banners of the Germanic Army of WWII. FMA gave it cheerier colours- green and gold like the GB Packers NFL team!
I am now reading Umberto Eco's classic novel Foucault's Pendulum which is all about the Knights Templar and the Grand Plan and the Philosopher's Stone and other heavy stuff like that. It's a great book and might make a great film if Hollywood ever wises up. It's a bit of a wordy read and calls for an understanding of world history and a smattering of mythology and stuff but it is well worth it. Eco wrote that marvelous book Name of the Rose which became a film starring Sean '007' Connery as a monk detective.
I will leave you with this. I invite everyone to visit the Forums in SciFi.com under AniMondays/RaveMaster and read all about my newest fave anime series- the Rave Master. I burned the RM OT 'Rave-olution' by Reel Big Fish for Mama for Mom's Day and she has not stopped playing that CD since then. She adores it and she loves RM and GL which precedes it on Mondays AniMondays on SciFi Channel.
Bobby's fave on the History Channel 'Ice Road Truckers' returns on 31 May and soon Mama's fave Dexter returns to Sundays on Showtime. When will my Angels ever return- who knows? Maybe I'll watch them tonight- nai Nora Roberts' Blue Smoke is on OnDemand. It's the female version of Ron Howard's Backdraft albeit it is set in Baltimore MD rather than Pittsburgh PA. It's all about a gal who becomes an arson investigator and features Scott Bakula (Cpt Jonathan Archer of the Enerprise) in Bobby DeNiro's Backdraft role as senior arson squad leader and Caterina's boss. Reena is Alice Witt reprising the Backdraft role played by Alec Baldwin if I remember aright.
By the way Discover Channel (Ch 64 on Comcast) has dropped (at least for now) Josh Bernstein's Into the Unknown series from their lineup. Josh was on a morning TV talk show this past Wednesday and he may be returning to the History Channel soon. A shame to lose his show since good archaeological shows are few and far between these days. I grew up with Bold Venture and Marlin Perkins' Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom as well as the Wonderful World of Walt Disney. Today's Disney crap would make Walt upchuck! Imagine showing stuff unsuitable for the entire family on network TV in prime time!
Another great show was In Search Of narrated by Leonard 'Mr Spock' Nimoy and I recall an eppy of theirs re the Knights Templar and Foucault's Pendulum. If anyone knows where I can find a copy of those gems on VHS or DVD onegai let me know. A big domo arigatou in advance for your assistance. Gotta really go now and get some blogging done and maybe post Chapter 49 at last.
Well that's it for this time. Enjoy and toodles tomos watashi-K&K
