Re: Final Fantasy: Jenova’s Witness

I don't think it is fair to say that this T-shirt is making fun of any religion.

It is simply a joke at the expense of Kadaj and the other remnants who summoned Bahamut Sin in their attempt to bring back Sephiroth to avenge the death of Jenova.

Re: Would you pay for a Boxee app?

cedorsett — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:22:25 -0000

Well, they kind of are, but no more than Hulu or Youtube.

Boxee is trying to make TV more social, and allows users to recommend shows to their friends. It is not perfect, but it is pretty good.

Re: Racebending in The Last Avatar: Removing the Excuses

This is about more than just a movie.

As a gay man, I know how important it was growing up to see people like me on the screen. Every child needs role models. Whether we want to admit it or not, this change will have a harmful effect on children who are fans of the original series, and it will rob others of the role models they should have had.

I think Shamalan's career started strong. The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable were great, Signs and The Village were good, and after that... We already posted a lot of negative stuff about them.

I think this was an interesting choice for Shamalan. He wants to get out of the thriller genre, and I think he does have the eye for the cinematography necessary. I still have my doubts about it. I hope it will be good.

If the movie is great, do you think the Racebending will be footnote to the story?

Re: Speculative Fiction Today #417 “Snooch To The Mez-Its”

I am sorry if I came off as saying that Mezco made them, I thought I was saying that Kyle did, though now that I think of it, I don't think I actually mentioned his name. That is why I got confused by your first comment.

OK, it is on the line up for today's show and the correction will be noted. Thank you for helping us stay on target. I hope to hear from you again :)

Ok, now I have to see this movie. It looks good!

Thank you, the article I saw said they were one of a kind. I am glad to know there is a way to get them. I will make the correction on the show, and has on the news.

I am a little bummed because now I will have to get one.

Re: Fans vs Haters

I suppose I am just sick of io9 and all of the Gawker media companies. io9 is a hater site, and I get frustrated when I see blogs I like to read citing them, especially when it is a post that has absolutely no merit at all.

I want people to start ignoring the hatemongers at io9 and all of their imitators. The comic book guy is funny on the Simpsons, but we don't need so many (not to mention such a high profile one) out there stinking up the place.

I try not to write rant posts. I usually only do it when something snaps inside me and I'm mad as hell and not willing to take it anymore.

I love Club Jade, it is one of my favorite blogs. I am sorry if I upset you. I didn't intend to attack you, just the annoyance that is io9. I apologize if I didn't say that forcibly enough.

Keep up the good work, and should I go "bat crap crazy" again, I will be sure to focus on the target better.

Re: “Total Eclipse of the Heart” literal music video, with Ninjas!

There are so many great lines, I hope this becomes a meme. I want more literal videos

Today has been a gremlin day, and audio compression has not been working well. The Confessed is now up.

iTunes had a glitch in the feed they listed so they delisted the show and are adding it again. I am sorry for any inconvenience. You can find a direct link that will add the feed to iTunes on The Confessed page or the show notes for episode 5 forward.

It takes them some time to put a feed in their directory, but it should be us early next week.

Again, I am very sorry about this.

Re: Additive Magic in the Legend of the Seeker

We were having issues with the feed, so iTunes took it down to fix it. Will be back soon. In the mean time you can get the new feed at seeker.dashpunk.com.

I used your comment as the basis of a post (here).

Thank you for the clarification, and I hope the post clears up what I was trying to say.

I am coming around to your point of view. It is hard for me to get past the idea that J. J. Abrams made the film. I don't really like his movies or TV shows.

The less J. J. Abrams, Roberto Orci, and Alex Kurtzman talk, the more excited I am about the film.

Really hope it is good.

Re: Green Lantern OVA Trailer

cedorsett — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 13:52:06 -0000

Yes, I will email you back today.

Guy Gardener would be interesting, but frankly I would like to see an Ion movie. Maybe even a live action one. The things you could do visually with Ion would be mesmerizing.

Re: Will Chris Pine ruin The Green Lantern?

cedorsett — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 13:49:41 -0000

I loved the 2 Zorro movies, so to me that is the exciting part of the story, but I really didn't like Casino Royal. It was a good movie, but a bad Bond movie. I am a little concerned that Green Lantern might be the same thing.

Martin Campbell is a mixed bag. I really hope he does a good job.

Thank you for the correction. I honestly forgot how many books were in the series. I thought I remembered, turns out, I was wrong.

As for the show, we made the decision to start the Kings podcast on episode 1, and enjoyed the process so much, we decided to continue with a couple more shows that we loved that were airing. The Legend of the Seeker was one of them.

I hope you are enjoying the show, even with my small error. The vast majority of the feedback we have recieved has been very possitive.

I do wish you had left the links to the message boards you mentioned. I would love to check them out.

Re: Captain Robert and Public displays of Affection

cedorsett — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 18:24:47 -0000

Honestly, your probably right, I wouldn't be raising a ruckus if it had been a joke involving one of the female members, and that is because I am have not been rubbed raw on that issue.

The fact remains that I got upset because the language he used was accidentally similar to language in several emails I had dealt with earlier that day. I have nothing against Robert or Abney Park. You know I am a big fan. I will continue to listen to and buy their music, and I hope to see them in concert on their next go around.

I am a bit overly sensitive about gay jokes at the moment. And lets face it, his post wouldn't have had the same impact at all without the Bi-with-Beer angle and photos he included. My point was simply that it never crossed his mind how others might be affected.

I have contacted Captain Robert and I hope to clear the air about all of this.

This was a "Think before you Speak" post for which I should have thought more before I spoke, and perhaps been a little clearer.

Re: Captain Robert and Public displays of Affection

cedorsett — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 23:23:14 -0000

Yes, but since I had a dozen conversations with "people" saying the same thing because of the GLBT in Fandom panel we are setting up with Shoreleave, I was in no mood to read it.

It might be a funny joke to some, but as someone who has to deal with people making actual claims like that, it is not.

Bad taste is bad taste. He wants to make a bad gay joke, then expect me to take it seriously and reply in kind.

I agree. I wonder if it was more her hair cut than anything else.

I almost fell asleep during the ads. All they are doing is showing me how stupid, prosaic, and meaningless the events of the film are going to be. Hugh Jackman's inability to act is really shining through. Yikes. I suppose I have to watch this for the show, but I am not looking forward to is.

I am not surprised that you know who Edward Gorey is, but I am overjoyed! I love his ABC book.

It is horrible that so many companies have adopted such a parochial attitude towards online media. It is like they are saying, "We don't want the money from you watching our ad supported videos, we would rather you steal them."

They blame piracy on the users when a lot of it is the companies refusing to accept money or establish legitemate ways to watch their content. It is a Shame.
