December 2004 (continued)

Heb weer eens een stokje (zie 607) aangereikt gekregen, van Niels ditmaal. I'm supposed to talk about the most recent dvd I watched. Which is, not surprisingly, one of the Cowboy Bebop dvds, specifically episode #9 on disc 2, 'Jamming With Edward'.

Now that I've (re)watched almost all Cowboy Bebop eps on DVD, I like to freeze-frame through the episodes, making screenshots of interesting scenes.

Here are some frames from ep 18 (the one where Spike and Jet search the solar system for a Betamax video player) that I pasted together to form one vertical panorama:

Yay, my Cowboy Bebop: Complete Sessions Collection arrived! With one purchase I now have all 26 episodes, spread over 6 DVDs. Danelope pointed out this Amazon.com offer a while ago, and reading a nice Cowboy Bebop post on Smirlogg made me finally decide to buy it. This is (very close to being) my favourite tv series ever, animated or otherwise.

I've seen all eps in Divx format before, but it's definitely worth watching them all again in high quality, for the amazing background art if anything. The discs are Region 1 but luckily I region-free-hacked both my dvd-player and dvd-drive.

Mike's small animal & china delivery, from episode 'Paper Route Bout'.

Hey, Who Is That Guy? - profiles up-and-coming actors who have "been in stuff". Cool. Lots of very familiar faces that up until now remained nameless in my mind. Although a big omission is That Guy From That Movie (how David Letterman announced him a couple of years ago). [via danelope]

Update: sorta the same thing (but with ugly discoloured thumbnail-sized photos): Fametracker: Hey! It's That Guy!

Idea: to compile a list of current stories, meaning any tv series, book or movie with a continuing narrative that I'm reading/watching and haven't yet reached the end of:

24 (in the middle of S2)
Angel (waiting for S5)
Firefly (cancelled after ep. 10)
Hellsing (at ep. 8)
LOTR The Two Towers (1/4th remaining)
Stellvia of the Universe (at ep. 6)
Samurai Jack (at ep. 4, ignoring horrible Dutch dubs on tv)
Six Feet Under (waiting for S2)
The Day of the Triffids (only a few pages left)
The Matrix Trilogy (waiting for Revolutions)
The Quiet American (paused halfway)
The Sopranos (somewhere in S3, currently rewatching S2)
Wolf's Rain (at ep. 14)
...

Also, sort of:
Aeon Flux (still haven't seen all eps to be able to fully comprehend the ~~story~~ overall world view)
Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex (at ep. 14; if there is an overencompassing story arc, it's rather subtle)
...

Ooh, 24 Season 2 is about to start on BBC2!
Good, I was getting tired of seeing only season 1 reruns; the rewatchability of this show is very low....

Voice Actor Page - searchable database of voice actors and their work, by actor, show or character name. Very extensive, although you have to resort to Google for tracking down any more info about people.

(If this weblog had inline entry titles, above this one it would say: 'Sudden realizations'...)

The X-Files' Agent Monica Reyes is Kat from Mystic Pizza.

CSI-guy is Manhunter-guy and To Live and Die in L.A.-guy.

That guy whose voice sounds so very familiar, fighting Dracula along with Young Indiana Jones in episode 2x22, is a younger, skinnier version of Angel's nemesis Holtz.

The albino kid with the electrical superpowers in Powder (1995), whose slightly awkward body language and hesitant smile I've seen somewhere before, is Young Indiana Jones.

'In the Transformers universe, "gestalt" is the unofficial generic term for a team of robots who combine together to form a larger robot.'

a little off-the-tv photo fun...

Newsradio quote of the day:
Dave (joking): "Hey I didn't just sign for a stolen jeep, did I, Radar?"
Beth: "Dave, I don't watch Star Trek."

I have to say, my enjoyment of the day-long Powerpuff Girls marathon on Cartoon Network is somewhat hampered by the fact that they're broadcasting the dubbed versions, with adequate-but-not-quite-as-funny Dutch voices instead of the original English.

The Daily Show clips (RealVideo) - lots of 'em...
