Apep Posted June 8, 2001 Share Posted June 8, 2001 Not sure that this an entirely apropriate post but anyways, No one seems to have heard about this movie. Find it, buy it, watch it. Amazing amounts of superheroey fun. Just a recomendation. Good movie to inspire comic relief. Games suck without that, usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted June 8, 2001 Share Posted June 8, 2001 ...and it was made for $500,000.00. I haven't seen it yet, but I have been told it is fabulous. Gee, Apep, when do we get our own Action Figures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ranger Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 As an aside has anyone seen the Australian kids TV series Ka-Blam? There are a couple of really cool mini-cartoons in it. My favourite would be the "Action League Now!" series...its about a group of superhero action figures.The Team:Melt Man (Melted action figure)Stinky Diver (Smelly action figure flushed down the toilet too often)The Flesh ("He's super strong and super naked!"...Bears a striking resemblence to a He-Man action figure)Thunder Girl ("She flys...like thunder"...Barbie rip off)I love obscure daft series.

Guest Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 The Specials......hmm, never heard of it. How old is it? Any famous faces in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apep Posted June 12, 2001 Author Share Posted June 12, 2001 The Specials is pretty recent. As far as actors, Thomas Haden-Church as the Strobe, Rob Lowe as Weevle, the rules guy from Scream is Amok, Melissa Joan Heart makes an appearance as Sunshine Grrrl. You've got to see it. As far as that Austrailian thing, never heard of it but will keep an eye out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 Speaking of great superhero movies, watch Unbreakable. I just saw it this weekend and all I can say is, WOW! This encapsules many of the things I like about Aberrant, its fantastic![This message has been edited by Atwight (edited 07-16-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apep Posted July 16, 2001 Author Share Posted July 16, 2001 Unbreakable is great. I heard they were making it into a tv series. That could be interesting but with no Sam Jackson as Mr.Glass, It will seriously lack something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 Unbreakable as a TV series? That I would watch. I have actually toyed around with the idea of an Aberrant TV series or mini-series. I think that would be very cool, as long as it didn't turn into the fiasco that the Kindred show turned into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 The Kindred show didn't TURN into a fiasco, it was a fiasco out of the blocks. Alright I admit it... I watched it.....Alright, I admit it... I liked itsigh.I've seen an episode of the Action Force!, or whatever its called. I think the team was trying to save Melt Man from being chewed on and buried by a dog.

Jager Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 Okay then, just think about whatever season two would have done if the male lead hadn't died in that accident.Personally, I loved their idea of the Assamite, but them I have already been proven to be one sick puppy.I think I'll need that support group.

Sidious Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 I saw 2 eps of that bastardized thing and it was enough for me to decide that continued viewing would bring my parents idea that "tv rots your brain" into the realm of truth.sad thing is I actually know someone who bought the dvd box set.

Ashnod Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 Correct me if I'm wrong please, but wasn't the character who had the highest non-flashback body count in THE KINDRED the Toreador woman?

Father Ryan Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 Bent on driving me insane I see Jager. You have watched it? All I can remember is pressing the on switch. Watching the credits, a few brief moments of mental pain and then blissful cranial trauma as my mind rebelled against the nazi-esque torment I was putting it through.PLEASE. Jager, don't make me have to live through it again.What did I ever do to you?God bless all here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidious Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 I like to think of the sequals much the same way as I think of my last date with Sarah Michelle Gellar, never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
