Speaking of that sort of thing, I wonder if Nick Cave’s Warren Ellis has ever met the comic book Warren Ellis.

The abridged version of that is pure gold.

Yes, that was also the surprise ending to “The Squid and the Whale” because everybody loves an underdog story.

He looks like a much cooler version of David Crosby. Hell, he is a much cooler version of David Crosby, only with film instead of music/bad takes.

+1 for using “jobbers” haha, like that crew from Jupiter Jazz who just kept getting their asses kicked by everybody. I agree that Spike’s aloofness and joking might not really translate to live action, but as far as this teaser goes, there’s plenty of shit talking. I’m down for a slightly more intense Spike, because…

I agree, normally I skip trailers if it is something I am pretty sure I’m already going to watch because they tend to either give away the good stuff or show scenes that get cut from the final edit. So this is a fun, really fun way to show how goofy the show can be, the rapport between the cast, without ruining…

Yeah I mean compared to most other anime, even it’s sister series “Samurai Champloo”, Bebop is pretty serious. However, as you mentioned, when they do bring the humor it can really hit. From little things like Spike swallowing his cigarettes when he gets called out for smoking, or Faye eating Ein’s dog food right in…

I’m giving them a slight break on being sluggish because there’s no way live action can look quite as crisp or fluid as anime, especially capturing Spike’s specific fighting style. Unless they brought Mr. Jeet Kune-Do himself, Bruce Lee, back from the dead. I mean, it isn’t a martial arts movie, just a noir series…

I agree with everything you said. Loved their use of the dividing bars and sliding them around, kind of captured the pace of the action scenes in the anime without trying to explicitly mimic them in live action (which would be impossible) so I’m on board. I’m sure this won’t actually happen in the show because it is a…

Oh yeah, I definitely agree that Shakir is nailing it, whereas in the original Spike was way more go with the flow, move like water, never serious about anything (until somebody says Julia or Vicious). I like Cho being older, because it makes Spike seem like all the traumatic stuff he’s seen has prematurely aged him,…

True, she does talk a lot of shit and give them some (kind of cringy) insults, but it does seem just kind of like friends messing with one another, whereas in the original show she did things like steal all their money and run off and it seemed like the boys genuinely did not like her at all for at least the first…

I did like how Rodriguez and Tarantino used it in “Grindhouse” especially the “lost reel” part to edit out the sex scene in “Planet Terror” that was creative and worth a laugh. I thought it was fine in this little clip, but hopefully it isn’t overused in the actual show, cause a little goes a long way and as you said,…

Ahhh this was great. Pineda’s “what the f—-” face is amazing and Shakir really sounds a ton like Jet’s English voice actor. Also, loved the parts where Cho broke down the bar and started smacking dudes in the face with it, and then just cast it around to facilitate his moves, reminded me of some old Jackie Chan…

I’m sure the people who take it literally only read the words they want, the ones that fit with their preconceived worldview. The same people who conveniently forget the Bible itself was written more than a thousand years after the story ended.

Yeah he was a “man” who fell to earth before Bowie made it cool.

I thought of that as well, it is a good one!

That’s a great user name.

He would have made a really good Thranduil. Which I know was in the second trilogy, not the first, but still.

This cast is incredible!

Same, he’s kind of played the same type of character for years, I think “Pain and Gain” is one of the few exceptions to him basically just being a tough jock guy who is effortlessly cool, so I’m excited not just because I love Black Adam but because the Rock is breaking into a new kind of character and actually…
