I sure do miss the anonymous voices of animated features. Knowing who’s behind the voice ruins it for me.

Comment by storminator — May 17, 2008 @ 12:34 pm

^^It depends on the actor I think. Steve Carell is awesome which is the only reason why I liked the Mayor of Whoville character.

I don’t understand how you can be that fat and still have no titties…I have to be half her weight, and even I have bigger titties then her. I hate me

1980’s Flash Gordon with Sam Jones is a monstrously good movie if you like cheese factor. I was totally obsessed with the movie as a kid.

The new SciFi channel series of the same name, which I hope has been cancelled, was unwatchable.

HAWKMEN……DIIIIIIIIIIIVE!

cool, but not as cool as General “The Silver Faced Pimp” Klytus, played by the epic Peter Wyngarde

Comment by Alpha Harrison — May 16, 2008 @ 9:33 am

Ah, I never watched Flash Gordon, but I did read a Mad Magazine TV special which featured “Hawkmen.” It was odd and confusing. Why the heck does my comic book feature these silly creatures?

He was original legend?

Comment by Billy Manic — May 16, 2008 @ 1:18 am

yes…he was and the plot was better imho….especially since the new legend is about saving people….heston did his nra thing and killed them allllllll

Comment by efraiel — May 16, 2008 @ 1:54 am

Actually Heston was the second. Vincent Price was the original in The Last Man on Earth 1964 (L’Ultimo uomo della Terra)

Comment by CMoorehead — May 16, 2008 @ 2:00 am

Liked when he heard telephone rings and just screamed.

Comment by Hepathos — May 16, 2008 @ 4:21 am

MUCH better movie than Legend. Man, that was a let down.

Comment by storminator — May 16, 2008 @ 7:25 am

The original book, by Richard Matheson, is about a scientist who becomes legendary among the new vampire-like sort-of-but-not zombie people who end up taking over the Earth. The point is that as he struggles to combat these “monsters,” it is HE who becomes the monster in the minds of this new population of the planet. Thus he becomes this tragic and ironic figure. It’s an excellent book, and the black and white Vincent Price movie is an excellent adaptation of it. Heston’s reincarnation of the role in Omega Man is also very good, and puts a new spin on the book and the Price movie without losing the spirit of it. (Heston also runs around with a submachinegun with a giant flashlight mounted on it, way before gun-mounted tactical lights were cool among the popular kids.)

Comment by Phil Elmore — May 16, 2008 @ 7:47 am

Storminator - Agreed.

I’d love to read the book, not sure why i havent.

But the will smith film was a let down. I loved the omega man, and will smith is so epic!

Comment by parasitegod — May 16, 2008 @ 7:48 am

This was the best film rendition of the book (aside from the horrible makeup) but Heston was not the 1st to play the roll. Vincent Price had done a film version of the book years earlier called The Last Man on Earth (still better than Will Smith’s portrayal).

Comment by dubsaru — May 16, 2008 @ 12:00 pm

The Omega Man is a horrible movie. It makes me thankful for DVDs in that I can turn on subtitles, and fast forward through it.

Comment by Disgustipater — May 16, 2008 @ 12:08 pm

I like this film cause it reminds me that even after a holocaust, there is still a chance that I can get it on with a hot black chick.

Comment by neekbunny — May 16, 2008 @ 3:08 pm

@ Phil Elmore

I most definitely agree with you. Richard Matheson’s book does a much better job of presenting the sheer loneliness of being the last true human alive. It’s an incredible book. None of the movie versions have even come close.

but i still hope the dark knight kicks iron man’s arse!!

@ hydrat3d

Agreed. TDK will definitely be better, which is good, because Iron Man kicked a lot of ass.

Comment by Camiam321 — May 14, 2008 @ 1:57 pm

Anybody else a little giddy about Robert Downey Jr. also playing Tony Stark in the new Hulk movie. I’m just stoked we’re finally getting some crossover in the comic movies.

Comment by phatstack — May 14, 2008 @ 2:10 pm

@ camiam321

yea, but its kinda scary ….like…i think most people had the same feeling about superman returns right??
and it sucked monkey balls!!

so lol its still a hope!!

and does anyone else thing Marvel takes a lot of care about its characters as compared to DC??

Comment by hydrat3d — May 14, 2008 @ 4:10 pm

You know, I never noticed this before, but that suit has got to have the worst aerodynamics in the world. Evah. A brick is probably more aerodynamic than that…

Comment by Phyreblade — May 14, 2008 @ 6:02 pm

Phyreblade; The more powerful your rocket bootz, the less aerodynamic you’ll need to be to sustain flight.

Comment by DemolitionsGeek — May 14, 2008 @ 6:10 pm

Given enough thrust, damn-near anything is capable of ballistic flight.

Comment by Mayyday — May 14, 2008 @ 6:58 pm

Good points, I’m not arguing he shouldn’t be capable of sustained flight. In fact, with the kind of power he has on tap, being able to fly is, by itself, an almost trivial task.

However the problem is that poor aerodynamic design makes for an incredible waste of power due to aerodynamic drag, especially at supersonic speeds.

And more importantly, any level of fine in-flight control should theoretically become near impossible to achieve at high speeds with a design like this, even with secondary vectored stabilizing thrusters…

Comment by Phyreblade — May 14, 2008 @ 10:09 pm

I wonder if he can listen to mp3’s in his helmet because I’d assume that the noise coming from outside must be unbearable while traveling at supersonic speed. If he did, I bet he’d be listening to his own theme song. lol?

Comment by Bran — May 14, 2008 @ 10:33 pm

Could he take off if he was on a treadmill?

Comment by LordOpie — May 15, 2008 @ 12:01 am

Of course he could; he doesn’t have wheels.

Comment by Mayyday — May 15, 2008 @ 1:32 am

only one superman movie has rivaled a batman movie. pick the worst batman, and the newest superman. think about that for a second while you compare them. No amount of gene hackman as lex luthor can beat even the stupidest of batman flicks. Superman Returns beats the worst batman only by Kevin Spacey’s graces

Comment by elzarcothepale — May 15, 2008 @ 3:11 am

@Phyreblade

from what I remember, he’s got all sorts of surfaces along the armor that can move around for aerodynamics. Couple that with the onboard computers (one of the only ways that the super hornet stays aloft) and I’d say he’s perfectly fine.

Comment by tiki god — May 15, 2008 @ 9:31 am

Think of it more along the physics of a helicopter. By all accounts, a helicopter CAN NOT fly. It simply doesn’t work. The only thing it manages to accomplish is that it is somehow capable of beating the air into submission.

On a side note, since one of you might actually know, the lights on his hands, and feet, are those additional reactors as well, or is there solely the chest reactor that powers them all?

Comment by Kaze — May 15, 2008 @ 9:52 am

just the chest one is a reaction afaik. the rest are lol “stabilizers” that can kill

Comment by tiki god — May 15, 2008 @ 10:27 am

@Kaze
Actually a chopper is a perfectly good flying machine. There is no physical reason why a chopper should not be able to fly.

But notwithstanding that, comparing Ironman with a chopper is comparing apples and oranges. They fly using completely different principles.

It would be more accurate to compare the Ironman suit to an F-117, which is the ultimate example of a brick that would be impossible to fly without the computer doing the fine management of all the control surfaces…

So I guess Tiki has a point about the computer managed control surfaces… And I think Tiki is also right about the reactors, I believe only the chest piece houses a reactor. All of the others are “stabilizers” LOL for lack of a better word…

I still contend that the suit is a flying brick…
