Posting this in a couple of listservs, 'cause I know there are a couple of folks
on here who do voice acting and/or are fans of the franchise...

Adaptation GJ is a group involved in (among other things) creating fan-made dubs
for Transformers shows that were made in Japan. One of these shows is
Transformers: Headmasters, a series that picked up where the third season of the
original Generation One TF series ended. Voice actors are needed to provide
voices for minor characters slated to guest-star in an upcoming episode.

Of these characters, only two are actually Transformers, and the rest are
humanoid animal creatures known as Battle Beasts (they had their own obscure toy
line in the eighties an' everything). The Battle Beasts will apparently only
appear in that episode, so if you wanted to do some voice acting but you have no
interest in Transformers or don't want to commit to the fandub project
long-term, you could still voice some of these critters.

The auditions page is at http://www.adaptationsgj.net/AuditionsHMUFP.html

I'm auditioning for every possible character available, but that's because I'm
both a TF fan and an amateur voice actor ... and I want to see if I can continue
to voice characters in future episodes (and I used to have a Battle Beasts
figure, just to compund the nerdiness). Even so, I can't voice them all (some
are female), and I'd bet someone is bound to notice that all the Battle Beasts
have the same basic voice, so having at least one more actor would break that up
a bit.

I added the episode to the board AND I made an Updates! board right
under the Better In The Dark board for any Update Announcements. I
didn't think of it at the time, so when I saw this it just kinda slapped
me in the face.

That is exactly the plan as it stands--we've got it so that all films will
be covered in twelve episodes.  Alas, that means OCTOPUSSY and NEVER SAY
NEVER AGAIN will *not* be covered in the same episode, but c'est la vie.

I was wondering that with QUANTUM OF SOLACE coming out if that movie
would be included in the Gilt Edged Bonds reviews as opposed to the
catch all review episodes. By the time you got around to CASINO ROYALE
the last movie would've been out long enough to make the cut. Only
problem I see is that DIE ANOTHER DAY & CASINO ROYALE would be paired
together when it would be perfect for CASINO and QUANTUM to be
paired...but whatever. Just wanna know what your plans were for QUANTUM
OF SOLACE.

BTW that trailer has me pumped. Can't fucking wait.

For anybody interested I posted an Excel file in the FILES section. It's
a movie quiz. Fill in the blank under the scene (the people have been
erased) and an answer of TRUE or FALSE will pop up. There's 72 scenes. I
DO have the answers to them all. Naturally the file I uploaded is blank.
So ONCE you've posted your score I can then release to you the answers
to the movies you didn't know. So please no cheating.

I figured it might be a fun little activity for a bunch of movie buffs.
I can not be held accountable to either the quality of the movies or the
fact that they're all roughly within the same 20/30 year period. I
didn't put this together.

Have fun!

You know, Downey just lost a lot of respect with this comment. It comes off as
jealousy. I mean, here we are most of the way through summer, he thinks he has
the number one movie of the year, and BAM, here comes Dark Knight and steals
Iron Man's thunder.
Downey's pissed because he's no longer the top draw of the year. It's petty,
small and stupid.

Both were great movies, Downey had no reason to attack DK.

And stay tuned for a major announcement abouut the future of Better In The Dark.

 

 

Just that! It was an okay movie, but it was propelled to the top by a generation
of 13-year-old girls.

Give me a movie that makes its way to the top the way God intended — through
big fat geeks watching it over and over!

We discovered this after the fact--even though podomatic claimed it wad
published and posted.

But then, ever since we upgraded to a larger account, podomatic has caused
us a large amount of grief.  podomatic sucks gangrenous ass.

Chances are we will have some news about the future of the podcast very,
very soon.

When TITANIC was shiny and new, I was dating a lovely girl who looked like a
young Michelle Pfieffer in Kentucky....who was OBSESSED with that movie.  I
was dragged to see it a number of times, and even had part of my July 4th
weekend that year taken up by her insisting we drive to Cincinnati to see a
traveling exhibit of TITANIC props that was installed at King's Dominion.  I
wasn't too keen on the film to begin with, as I felt it was sorta
tear-tugging cheese....but Vanessa's worship of the film made me hate it.

(And I wasn't too fond of her obsession with MAriah Carey's BUTTERFLY album,
either....)

Why?  TITANIC was no "The Empire Strikes Back" but it was a pretty
good movie, I thought.  Do people really think TITANIC is that bad or
is it just that they want to see "The Dark Knight" take over as top
money maker of all time?

I don't think it'll make it. I think it'll break $500 million, but not the $600
million barrier. Which is too bad. Titanic needs its ASS KICKED!
