06.20.2010 - 00:30 | Richard WeskerDo you know why I won't see Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World? Because the thought of Michael Cera kicking ANYONE'S ass is too farfetched even for fiction.
The Mortal Kombat Rebirth trailer was interesting. I hear people comparing it to the newer Batman movies. Gritty, more realistic. The problem with that is that the Batman movies stay true to the source material, whereas the Mortal Kombat Rebirth trailer took out all the magic and mysticism of the MK games. It's not Mortal Kombat without those things, in my opinion. If they were to make an actual film based on this trailer concept, it might be cool, but it won't be MK to me. Still, interesting and clever take on MK, I guess.
It was nice to hear Punky on TA, I think she needs to do a video series with this Sherry Daiquiri character (hope I'm spelling the name right).

I am not a fan of Michael Cera, but I am still willing to give Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World because I enjoy reading the Scott Pilgrim novels. Also, I've heard somewhere that the ending of the movie will be different from the ending of the novels, and I would like to see how the endings will differ from each other.

Also, the link for the Scott Pilgrim topic says "The requested topic does not exist".

I actually just started reading the "Scott Pilgrim" comics so I haven't really watched the trailers out of the fear of getting spoiled for the upcoming volumes. Even then, I still think "Scott Pilgrim" is worth a look.
Just me or does Huffy Joe sound like the name of a plushy doll?
Great job lads and Punky...or should I say Miss Cherry Daquiri? ;)
[size=x-small]Thank you Punky, She of the Spank Tweet, for correcting me![/size]

To respond to Rollo T about how the movie is just "trying to be cool": OH NAH YA DIDAAAAANT!
Seriously, Scott Pilgrim is about a 23-year-old named Scott Pilgrim (obviously) who meets a girl that had been appearing in his dreams. But to get with her, Scott has to defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends. The premise sounds silly, but the story is told in an amusing fashion, and I happen to enjoy the art-style. It's something you would have to read for yourself to understand. While I wish Michael Cera wasn't cast in the movie, I still have hopes knowing it's directed by the director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
Edit: About Mortal Kombat, I believe it is a pitch for a movie that is a more realistic take on Mortal Kombat.

06.20.2010 - 03:14 | NOTYETUSEDNAMEHi TA. Awesome show, as usual. Thank you Paw for giving me a TA Awesome Blog of the Week. I'm going to be high on that for at least a week. I look forward to your next broadcast. Peace.

Chris, while you are a cool host, you make yourself less and less likable with each show. You refuse to watch Back to the Future, you like to listen to Linkin Park despite being aware of why it is illogical to do so, and your position as "the guy with bad taste" gives us fellow Lost fans a bad rap. I still like you man, but you need to straighten up in some areas.

Awesome interview, punky. I think that's the first time I heard you speak live and in color and you sound really well spoken and a lot of fun. (I'm a sucker for accents, though, so a little biased). All awesome blogs were great, glad that Sad Panda / Welshy song and vid got up there. Those guys always deliver. Congrats to NYUN too, that was a big-time blog that took some guts to put up.
And wow...that 'hippopotamus' intro was harsh, but oh so funny. :D You guys were really firing all on cylinders.
Really looking forward to Dena next time. Her Silent Hill 2 analysis and Resident Evil playthrough are personal favorites.

It's gotten to the point where it's hard to imagine Chris not cry for Lost now. "Huffy" Joe might not have been long, but after looking it up, it was pretty appropriate.
I thought you guys were way off base with the new Mortal Kombat game. At first, I felt the same way. I looked like we had played it before. That was until I saw it in action through Gamespot's and Screwattack's demonstration. Now I'm excited for it more than Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The game just looks like the shot in the arm the franchise needs. That or the Rebirth movie. I'm cool with both.

Hold on; you have ADHD but you could follow Lost?
Also, what level is your D&D campaign? +14 to attack and you missing 4 times sounds pretty damn unlucky unless you're Level 10+.
I started following Punky on Twitter after listening to this and tried to watch her ustream. Unfortunately it was 7.30am here and she was watching The Room. I have my limits.
MK: Reboot; I'm kind of in between the G Laser and Joe on this one. Making it dark and realistic might be the right way for the series to go, but getting rid of the mysticism does ruin a lot of the MK universe. Maybe if they included the mysticism and made it dark so you ended up with a serious version of Golden Child, that would be friggin' awesome.
Finally, doesn't Rollo T still have a challenge to do for his fan art requesting permission to be restored? I think it should be to watch BTTF series so we can at least lay to rest one of the film/TV arguments from this show and perhaps then things can move on a bit.

07.22.2010 - 12:51 | MarinerMy props to Joe for shitting on the abonimation of a series called LOST.
Given your analysis of LOST, I can't comprehend why you like JJ's Star Trek so much. It suffers from the same damn problems.

If it helps Rollo T,I haven't seen any of the Back To The Future movies either and I don't plan to seeing them either. Not my type of movies.
LOST is a series I can't see myself getting into either.
Y yo tambien se hablar Espanol. Que bueno que hay una bella Latina trabajando aqui. Punky es un tipo de mujer que quiero conocer en la vida real.
Hey don't knock off Linkin Park.
As for the MK reboot trailer,it's alright for what it is,but I have my doubts.
Transmission Awesome: Where amazing happens
A lot more accurate than the NBA these days.
