[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Hey, what's up? I'm Spiderman. Welcome to Geekscape episode 44. I'm here with my good buddy, Nick Scown, who also wears glasses like my alter ego, Peter Parker. What do you think of my mask? I don't know. Where'd you get this? Look at this. Look at this. Hold on. We're waiting for the darkness from a cave. No, he's a wag. He actually got this Spiderman mask. It's 7-Eleven. It wasn't free. I don't know. I think it was like $9.99. I was going to say it was worth $9.99. Well, I didn't pay for it. It was a lot. I think it was $9.99. I was going to say it was worth $9.99. Well, I didn't pay for it. It was a lot. I think it was $9.99. I'm going to say it was worth $9.99. I'm going to say $9.99. Well, I didn't pay for it. It was a lot. I was helping my friend Mark move into his apartment. We went into a 7-Eleven to get drinks and stuff. I saw the math and he goes, "I owe you." Are you sure he didn't say I owe you? He might have been, but I got this. Pretty sweet Spiderman mask. And that is what Geekscape is all about. Geekscape, the movies, video games, and comic book podcast. I try and bring on a pretty qualified geek every week to talk to you guys about that. And now you've filled miserably because I'm on the show. No, you were a geek guy. I know I am. You're huge. I'm just not a qualified one. I think so. I love that photo competency. That is qualified. Like, okay. That's a geek trait. You know what I mean? I guess if you're too qualified, you can't really be a geek. Because you're probably actually doing something. You know, it was like a successful football jock. Like, be like, "Hey man, you were pretty good at football. Fuck yeah, I am, bro." You ask a geek about how good they are. I'm all right. All right. Like, Vijay. You ask Vijay if he's good at, like, a video game? I'm all right. And then he cheats and kicks your ass. He's amazing. Now, you say that you're really good at Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and you brag about it. I will kick anyone's ass. I will slap their ass. That is not something a geek would say. I think you're a nerd. Now, let's see. See, a geek is hip and socially situations. A nerd. Nobody wants to be a nerd. So a geek would just say, "I'm pretty good." I'm pretty good. I do all right. I'm not, like, world champion good, but I'll kick anyone you know's ass. But I think what John's saying is the confidence in your skills is what makes you a nerd almost. Like, "No, no, I'm great. I'm the best." Whereas a geek is just like, "Yeah, pretty good." And then they're actually, yeah. I think it's a security thing. Like, geeks are, like, secure and they say, "Oh, I'm all right. I'm not bad." A nerd is like, "No, I'm great." And then they get their asses kicked. Because they need the 80 hours they put into it that week to be what's the name? I'm sorry. I'm starting to doubt myself because of this guy. What's his face? Which one was it? I think his name was Holocaust. Well, there are a couple of people on the boards that you've been talking trash with. Right. There's this one guy, Holocaust, who his friends, like, they have, like, fucking arcade boards that they play with. And they have Dreamcast. Because who the fuck has a Dreamcast? But, like, that is, like, supposedly the fastest. It's like, "No, we don't play on an Xbox. We don't play on a PS2. Those have time legs, and those don't have good button reaction times." So they play on Dreamcast. These guys are fucking serious. Yeah, he was telling, this guy Holocaust was on the forums. But we'll get to movies in a little bit. Holocaust was on the forums. He was talking about Heather Marvel versus Capcom 2. What are we having to Marvel versus Capcom 1? No. Okay. Okay. So, Marvel versus Capcom 2 was so good, they don't need a third. You just stopped there. Is there a Street Fighter II? Is there a Street Fighter III? No. Well, I mean, there are Street Fighter II. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just make adjustments to the number two. So this Marvel versus Capcom 2 has tournaments. And every photo of every tournament I've seen, looks like it takes place in Malaysia. [laughter] And it's like, when they're not cake boxing and a ring of fire with, like, glass... Maybe they're taking the tape in. They're playing Marvel versus Capcom 2. Yeah. Yeah. You know, when they're not being sold in the child's slavery, they're playing Marvel versus Capcom 2. And I love how this is, once again, solidifying geekscapes of people in Asians. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. Just little kids. Just little... It's different between Asians and Malaysians. Right. Little... Yeah. Little Malaysian kids in soccer shirts running around. [laughter] Wearing shirts that are new to that, but from the late '90s, like Tommy Hill figure, and like, Pila and the shit. [laughter] Like, cross-color shirts. Again, we insult all through world nations on geekscapes. But the good thing is, they'll never know. They'll never know. Well, I don't know what it is. No, in 20 years when they get the internet, they will be... No, they'll be so upset. We must find this Jonathan London. Do you guys watch movies? I do watch movies. Nothing new really came out this week, as you can tell from the box office. Tyler Perry's, "Why did I get married?" Easily won with 21 million. No, it didn't. No, it didn't. No, it didn't. It was Tyler Perry's reaction. So Tyler Perry's movie won. He doesn't make it for you, Brian. He doesn't make it for you, buddy. I am the black audience. But there were a couple of movies like "We on the Night" and so is that. I wasn't into it. I didn't... I mean, I want to see the guy like that James Grey guy, but... What are you doing? He had an indie film in the late '90s and disappeared. You got a fight with Harvey Weinstein and scrapped his way back. But, yeah. Who is it, Chees? It's Wade. Yeah, there you go. You're trying to do that. He's like daredevil. In sense, the vibration, my movement. So we didn't see anything. Laura had a day off on Wednesday. Let me tell you how awesome a geek girlfriend Laura is. Sunday, she gets home from work and... You wake up like what? Five-thirty in the morning? So we really have to be in bed by like ten. You guys are like bakers. I don't have to be in bed. She does. So like, it's like nine o'clock and she goes, "Do we still have time to watch Chud?" Which I think is pretty cool. Wednesday, we're thinking of, you know, it's her day off. We're thinking about getting, going to see a movie. It's what we do usually on the day offs. And we couldn't find anything we want to watch. We see everything. Ridley Scott put out this Blade Runner final cut. That's what she wanted to see. That's right. We went to see this final cut of Blade Runner which we saw promoted at San Diego. Remember this is like, I don't know, it's another cut of Blade Runner. Blade Runner is one of these movies that I always feel I've never seen the whole movie. I always feel like I see it in different settings or I see it in different pieces. I've never seen the definitive version of the film. There's a version where hair is important. There's a voiceover. See, I don't know if the version without the unicorn stuff? Well, that's the same version. That's the version. Well, the original version that they released, right, Warner Brothers, has voiceover narration so it's more film-nourish. It doesn't have the unicorn stuff. And at the end, they steal some shots from the shining of like this car driving away to suggest that they're going to live happily ever after in some part of this futuristic nightmare. There's a little utopia if you just drive. But apparently no one wants to drive there. For you guys, this is like the big movie where Earth is kind of not... Anybody who has money has gotten off of Earth. In Los Angeles is basically just a nasty place to live. And they've created robots to work for us, but a lot of them, so these cyborgs have become... You know, you can't distinguish between them and humans. And you send them... They killed the bunch. Yeah, they have a four-year lifespan, and they have these replicants. But they're all used off Earth. It's illegal for them to be out of Earth. The ones that go back to the planet, you hire a Blade Runner to kind it down and kill it. And that's Harrison Ford's character. Well, you don't hire them, they're just like a branch of the police. Okay, so Harrison Ford, I'm too old for this crab, not doing this anymore. He gets hired to hunt down Rudgar Howard. He was too old for that crab, and that was like 1982. Right. Well, he's too old for it now, but he's too old for it now. Okay. He did eight days and seven nights. Seven days, seven nights. Yeah, that was six days and seven nights. There's a snake crawled up your couch. Let me get it for you, Anne H. He looked like... I don't remember that was in all the trailers. He looked like luck. Like, you could feel any... You could feel any romantic interest between the two of them. Yeah. So this is like the final cut, I guess? Well, yeah, Ridley Scott, because what he said was... That version was obviously Warner Bros. version. And then a few that used later, this director's cut version started playing in film festivals and got really popular to the point where they released this director's cut, but in fact, it's really just a rough cut, kind of. It didn't have a voiceover track. It didn't have a voiceover track. The voiceover was horrible. Supposed to hear his report didn't want to do it. He didn't want to do it. He kind of finds it. I don't think it's as horrible as it's just been made to see like, you know, a travesty. I don't think it's that bad. It's just very different. It's a different film. No. Yeah. The information, you get beaten over the head with the information a lot. But then the director's cut came out in the late '80s. And that was just sort of a rough cut version. So a lot of the shots hold too long. There's none of the voiceover, but they just sort of cut the voiceover out so you would just have these long musical interludes. And not necessarily Ridley Scott would want, you know, if he had time to fine tune it, which he has done now with the final cut. Now this one, and fixing some of the effects that he said, you know, they just didn't have the money or time to- It still feels like a long move. This is not like an action-packed film. You know, he only has to go after four replicants. And it paces itself. It's got some awesome writing in it. The best line was the best line. Wake up. Time to die. That's awesome. I was going to say if you could only see what I've seen with your eyes, but no, that's a good thing. Yeah, because they did the eyes. So Harrison Ward's got to hunt down these four replicants. Rudder Hauer is basically the baddest-ass dude-ass movie. And he starts to like, you know, like, you know, when you have a computer on for a long time, it starts to get a little loopy. You know, you start to get viruses and starts to break down. At the end of the movie, he starts acting really weird as he's chasing down here as some Ford. Because what they're trying to do is they're trying to prolong their life. They're trying to erase the part in their programming. It says, "At four years, you're done." Yeah. You know. That's another way to keep them from infiltrating humans. Yeah. Daryl Hannah's in it. She's amazing. She's good. This cut has, now, it ends with everything's almost telling him- Having given him a little time. You know, origami. She'll live, but nobody lives forever. Yeah. And the little origami piece of the unicorn. Yeah. Does that have the other versions usually ended? I don't- I don't remember. I can't remember the- I think that's in both the previous versions. But the implications are different. Right. And the first one, there's no implication that Harrison Ford is- Yeah. It's spoilers, guys. It's spoilers, guys. Who hasn't seen? You gotta see- It hurt. Yeah. But we have a lot of, like, 14-year-old kids listening to this show. Okay. And they just aren't into it. You gotta see Blade Runner. Because, because as you're watching it, you don't- Now, in this hot cut, nothing told me that Harrison Ford may or may not be one of the replicants. Okay. But you're saying in the first one that was in there or wasn't? Not in the first one. In the director's cut that came out later, it became more- It's still obtuse, but it's the idea that he's- The origami piece that he gives him- suggests that Edward James Zomas knows what the memories are of Harrison Ford and his dreams, just like Harrison Ford knows the memories of- What's your face? He's Rachel. Says the girl he meets who is- Sean. She tells you. Sean Young. Sean Young. You know, the creator says, "Yeah, that's our best model." Yeah. She is a replica and he falls in love with her. Yeah. Oh, so Nick, I didn't know any of this. Now, looking back at the movie, that's interesting. Yeah. So Ridley Scott is always like- I was wondering, because there's this one dream in the middle of the day of the movie. There's a dream that Harrison Ford has with the unicorn in it. Yeah. And that's- Well, cause Ridley Scott also did Legend. I was like- Yeah. Well, that's what that's called- A little shout out to your next project? In the original War of the Version, there's none of that dream. And then it came out in the last two versions that's included to suggest- That's the suggestion is that- Since Edward James Zomas gives him this little origami thing of the unicorn, it means that he knows Harrison Ford is replicant because he's like- It's like he's read his file and he knows what he dreams. He knows what his memories are. Motherfucker, Nick. You just opened up a whole new world for me. That's interesting. Yeah. It's a very good movie. That's- I mean- I'll be the first- I'll be the first- I'll just be- I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's a very good movie. Like, Washington and this guy now, it was stuff like Gladiator, which I like. Yeah. And, uh, but there's no more patience there. You know what I mean? He has no subtlety as well. He has no subtlety as well. He wants the first alien in his- It's- You gotta be patient. Yeah, and it's- The rewards come later. Yeah. It's really self-indulgent. You know? Shut the fuck up with yourself-indulgent film school crap. Um, it's very self-indulgent. I'm not the one who went to film school. I can't go to film school, but I don't talk like I went to film school. [laughter] All right? I don't talk like I went to film school. I don't have a goatee and I know when it's okay not to grow facial hair. All right? [laughter] What do you think of- It's facial hair, Laura? Moatee? Oh, yeah. Moatee. We're walking out of balls of fury and he said, "I think the motifs were very good." [laughter] I'm fucked outta here. Balls of fury. Okay, because- Here's why. I almost died. [laughter] Okay, and then- I almost walked into traffic to die. And then John and Laura died. But here's what I was doing. I was trying to not- I hated that movie. That movie was ass. And I was doing everything with those kind of motifs. And everyone was laughing. Everyone was kind of laughing about it and she was like, "Oh, this part was good." It's like, no, it wasn't. But I didn't want to be the jerk who kind of spoils the high of the movie that you enjoyed to the group. You know? I hated to tell you that the film wasn't in theory or experience. [laughter] Why would you just say that? I don't like it. I don't know, it was good except the character of the arc was- Rent was! Rules of the game! It's a much greater film! [laughter] I thought it was- I thought it was a reason I didn't like it. I just didn't like it. Yeah, it was talking. It was just like- I was trying to find something about- I was trying to bang Ben's sister. [laughter] [applause] Nice! Nice! Good. Thanks. Please leave it on me. Ow. That was it. But let me tell you, you need a beret. [laughter] You know what's sad? You know what's sad? You know what's sad? I've tried some on. [laughter] At some point I tried some on. Ben, you like the film school? Yeah. Do you remember shit like this? Uh, there is one or two guys maybe. But not really. I don't know. I don't know. But I'm not actually that type of person though. Do you see what- Yeah, as he says that, he goes and then he goes- I'm not actually that kind of person though. I think it was like this too. And now you're slicking your co-tee! He's on the play with it! It's no to me! Art Film. Art. Um, did you get a chance to see Degeri Limited? I did. 'Cause he thought it was very good. Really? Yeah, 'cause I'm guessing the guy who actually makes film, but it sucked shit. What did you think? Uh, I won't say that it sucked shit. I wouldn't go that far. But he, uh, I can tell the Wes Anderson is like, he's a, he's a director without a plot. Now look at what Laura's doing to Gilmore over here. I think it looks good. He's giving him an Ascot. Tell me about the Meezon Sand. Can I just tell you that, uh, sweetie you're in, you're in our light, but can I tell you that, uh, you can step through here, or whatever. Uh, can I tell you that I drove, uh, Peter Argonovitch around for a bit when I first met in LA? You're a fucking Ascot lady. Look, Peter Bond out of it, you can wear an Ascot and get away with it. Right, yeah. Let me, surprise who I saw him without one. So the guy who's actually written movies and, uh, scripted movies in storyboard and got through the whole process of making a film, how did you think about dark sharing limits? Like I said, it's a movie, there's no plot to it. There's nothing happens to it. It's just, um, a character study. And I don't know, I had the discussion with my friends. Which is good. I mean, some movies are good. But I think what it is is that he used to have interesting characters in interesting plots. Like there's interesting plots, like, bomb rockets and such. Or you roll tan and bombs. Like, yes, there's interesting characters, but there's a plot device of Gene Hackman is trying to get back in with his family. That's something. Whereas this, there's like, there's nothing, there's no plot, you know, to, there's just nothing going on. And so, and there's not the character, it's not, uh, that has energy. Like that's what's missing out. All the characters are just morose. You don't have, um, you know, like Max Fisher, even though he's depressed, he's also doing a lot of things. He's very interject about what he does. And, you know, Dignin and bottle rocket is like, he's a loser, but he's a lovable loser who's, like, trying to do his best even though he sucks. And now it's just like, they're just depressed people not doing anything and don't want to do anything. You know, and they're- Why did I pay for this? So, so- Did you pay for this? No, no. I did pay for it. But Gilmore, let me tell you what I think I want to do. Um, I was thinking about the cameras that I own and I don't use anymore. And I have a, uh, a high-eight camcorder. I'm thinking about giving it to you to go make a film. And then I was playing it on Geekscape. Oh, just anything? Anything you want to do. Huh? Uh, uh, uh, uh, Brian Gilmore, exclusive, short. That is doing this thing. Yeah. Anything you can do. Like, like, think about it. I'm just gonna do this. Listen, listen. Listen, listen. Listen, listen, listen. Listen, Art School of Confidential. What I'm thinking about is getting, is getting the super-rate. Or, not super-rate. Hey, just a little camera. Right, right, right. Just getting it, getting a tape and giving it to you. You can go make whatever the hell you want. You're a little, you know, art film. And what should we play on Geekscape? Well, you think? I mean, I think the audience would like it. Actually, I tried to actually give something to you. But I enjoy it. You need to shave. But I enjoy it. I'm going to for my Halloween costume, actually. Okay. Well, we're gonna do the Halloween in two weeks. In two weeks, we're gonna do the Halloween costume stuff. Yeah. But I did make a movie in high school. I wrote and directed it. Remember? I told you about this. It's called a hell hop for doom service. I feel a bell hop. I do like that. I do like that. That's probably the type of shit I would actually make. Could you? Yeah. Could you make it a little shorter? The only thing I'd like to plan a terror is that I didn't make it. I like playing a chair like that. I mean, that's something. Can you make a shorts? If I give you a little camera, would you go out and do some stuff just for fun with Ben maybe? Yeah. Maybe. You got yourself an actor who's not acting. Give him a chance to act. Give him a chance to show the world what he can do. How inspiring. Make him a monster. Well, make him a monster. Yeah. Are you excited by this? I'm kind of excited now. I think it'd be funny. This is fantastic. Okay. So we got that going. We're almost the end of the year. This kind of stuff will fuel us into year two. It has a website. Well, the website is rocking. Do we want it? The date we have a date. Do we want it? But it's cool date. It's my birthday. I know. I like that date. I love you. But we have a date for the picnic. November 17th. We'll talk about that a little later. Let's talk some movie news. Let's talk movie news. J.J. Abrams. He's doing Star Trek 11 which I told you guys was the one where Spock goes back in time. Spock goes back in time. Spock goes back in time. No, let her name go back in time. I knew he was in it. I didn't know if it was like a flashback. Like an assassinate, a Romulan. He goes back to the academy to protect himself. They cast Scotty and Sulu. It's Simon Pegg and John Cho. Oh, that's so funny. Simon Pegg who J.J. Abrams worked with the Mission Impossible III is Scotty. You mean Simon Pegg the main guy in Sean of the Dead? Yeah, but J.J. Abrams has a relationship with him. You know? I don't think anyone knows him from that. Mission Impossible III. You guys know him from Sean of the Dead in Hot Fuzz. Mission Impossible III doesn't exist. I like me. You know what? I'll tell her right now. I will tell you right now. Mission Impossible III was my favorite of the Mission Impossible movies. I don't know. Does anybody even talk about it anymore? Nobody talks about it because Tom Cruise kind of did the same stuff. But I thought they cast the Kirk. I thought they had the Kirk. They were going to have the Kirk and you think it was the Kirk who people are saying the Kirk is now is the guy from smoking aces. Who played one of the neo-Nazis. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think that guy's really. I think the performance is really awesome in smoking aces. So Rambo has a title. It's not John Rambo. It's Rambo to Hell and Back. Nice. I hope that movie is as violent as possible. We saw it in preview, right? Did you see that? It did. It is. I love that trailer. Everquest is going to become a movie. Jeez. Van Dam is very happy about that. He wants to play it. He was a fanboy. Yeah. Van Dam is a big everquest fanboy. He wants to actually play a kickboxing troll. And what's that? J.C. V.D. J.C. V.D. Did you see this? I posted it on my Myspace blog and on the forums. John Klavandam playing John Klavandam in a movie that they're doing like it's a Dutch film. No. I told you about this. And Gilmore I think told me about it. There's a trailer now. What is there? I put it on the forums buddy. You may want to check them out at geekscape.net/forms. There's an audition for John Klavandam. Like a biopic. And they have an audition for these guys. They all want to play John Klavandam. Van Dam walks in. He shows up on the audition and goes, "What the hell's going on here?" But it's all in French. And so he ends up saying, "Everybody out of here, I'm doing the movie." And they're like, "It's not a documentary. It's a biopic." And he's like, "I'm sorry." And then it says, "2008." So he's doing a movie about where he plays himself. And supposedly he snaps. He actually just takes people out. There's a precedence for this though. Muhammad Ali played himself in the first biopic about Muhammad Ali. Really? In the late 70s, yeah. This is why I have a movie on the show. Get richer, die trying. I think V.G. will play V.G. one day. What's going to happen in real life? That will happen in real life. So you were talking Justice League in the movie? No, I was talking about the League of Extraordinary. Oh, yeah. The Black Dolls here? Yeah, it's coming out. Is that what it is? I think it's in November. What? I like those books. Oh, okay. The League of Extra-- Not the movie. No, not the book. The new book. But this is what got me going. I was on Inical News and I read that Wet Up was doing the suits for Justice League. So it's not motion cap. I think it's live action. This is George Miller. It's supposed to be live action. Does George Miller, Justice League-- Yes. They're doing a terrible idea. It just feels rushed like crazy. Well, it's rushed because you rush the bigger movie? The strike and the-- It's moving to rush. It's bound to fail. Yeah. But the problem with it is it's just a character piece. Warner Brothers is already trying to relaunch Superman and they've already relaunched Batman. Successfully. Successfully, right? So the only thing that good they can tell is that you have a Justice League and now you've got a new Batman and you've got a new Superman. So either people are going to hate it because they don't like that Batman and Superman or they're going to start to dislike Brandon Roth, the Superman, they'll be like, "Oh, I don't like Brandon Roth's Superman. I like this other guy." And it's shit. Whatever. But it's-- you're just asking for trouble either way. Yeah, why? It's like, now what if this Superman-- what if it's Tom Willing? What if they have Tom Willing playing the Superman in the Justice League? That might be a good way to get around it. Yeah. That guy is awesome. Yeah, Tom Willing. What if you have Tom Willing? I see why the Gee's watch small though. Yeah. You know what? Have you seen the Supergirl? I have not. Have you seen the Supergirl? No. Because I was walking out of the 7-Eleven. This is me walking out of the 7-Eleven with your Spider-Man. Okay. I'm walking out of the 7-Eleven. You have 7-Eleven by the door hustle of the magazine racks. And I'm looking for the door-- I'm literally wearing this in the 7-Eleven. And I see the magazine rack. And I see this really attractive girl. And usually you read who it is. They have their first name really big. And I didn't recognize her at all. And it says in small titles, "Smallville's New Hot Thing." And I'm like, "Oh, that's Supergirl." And I literally go, "I can't be seen wearing that." Oh, it's a magazine. I took it off. She's that hot. I got to tell you, LA has some freaks. LA has some freaks. We went into the 7-Eleven. And this chick walked in with this punk rock gear. I'm literally trying the mask on. And this chick walked in with this punk rock 80s painted face gear. And my friend Mark and I are like, "What the hell?" It looks like a hot topic vomit on her. And so we get in line. And this white dude in full Wushu Shaolin gear comes in. And now Mark works at this gun films. They're doing this remake of what's it called? The Escape From Witch Mountain. They're also making this movie Snow White and 7 Shaolin Monks. They're making this movie. It's supposedly cool. And I was like, "Dude, you should hire him." You should hire this guy. And so this dude, Wushu freak. And this girl is 80s. She looked like Jim. Yeah, yeah. Well, this girl was okay. And we're in line. And they're behind us. And I'm like, "Don't tell around." And I keep in mind I'm wearing this Spiderman mask. And I glance backwards, right? And they had their arms around each other. And he goes, "You know, I love you, red baby." And she goes, "Yeah, I love you too." And they start kissing him like, "Fucking L.A., dude." That's awesome. L.A. That's fantastic. L.A. is the only place where you can wear, you can be wearing a costume on a normal day, and you will still not be the craziest person dressed on street. Since moving along to Angeles. And Lauren and I saw this coming back. We were driving. And since moving along to Angeles, I have seen so many crazy homeless people fighting street posts and like street lamps and like bus posters. Like doing karate. I've seen homeless people fucking use it on a bus stop on the way home. You win. Oh, that's good. Yeah, I love this guy doing karate. I saw homeless guy yelling at a fireman. Yelling at a fireman. Because the fire truck that they had pulled up to put out whatever fire was cut, the back was a little in the crosswalk. The homeless man was irate. He's like, "You're blocking the crosswalk." That's not safe. That's not safe. Was it an Irish homeless man? I think he won. And the fireman was like, "I'm sorry, we didn't have time to park while we were going to stop the fire." I was like, "Who yells at a fireman?" The freaks in Los Angeles. Hey, one more. One more. Okay, what are some more freaks in Gilmore? Homeless guy. Washing his balls with a rag in broad daylight. It was like 12 or five. You know, like traveling too. Are you one of those young guys? Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Hey, this wasn't broad daylight. I did see two homeless people playing basketball. That's nice. Which was cool. It was probably for crack. Yeah, homeless men can't jump. So we got a couple more pieces to use. The Mad Man movie. Remember the comic book? This guy George Wayne. He did swimming in sharks. It's the comic book. And Dimension Films is doing troublemaker studios. Robert Rodriguez is the deal. Mike Allerit and George Wayne are doing the screenplay. I just read that it's still going. I had Ralph awful. This guy does a Darmillars. He does this Lost Podcast. And he's the biggest Mad Man fan. He's like, what's happening with the movie? I think it's dead. He started good crying and stuff. And I was like, Ralph, Ralph, don't worry about it. It's Hollywood. Things take a while to happen. Any ground by the Bluto beer? Yeah. I grabbed him. I said, listen, Bluto, it's okay. And he goes, no, I'm going to do it. And I was like, no. So the Mad Man movie is happening to segueists in the comic books. Look at you. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, look. The segue. Are you seeing that? Comics. It's too early for comics. They are big comic book fans. Are you excited for comic books? Yeah. Yeah. He is. Yeah. He is. So, Hank, do you love comics? Yeah. There you go. There you go. So that's comic books. Really, I haven't read too much that I've been like, oh, I've got to talk about this on Geekscape, but we do have to talk about this reimagining of Captain America that Alex Ross has put together. Oh, okay. Now, Alex Ross, you know the painter. I like it. You don't like Alex Ross? Alex Ross. Not like anyone that I like. I'm like, basically. Alex Ross, you know, he made his name in like the mid '90s with Kingdom Come and Marvels. Since that time, I feel like there have been some incredible artists who've come. And Alex Ross, I think, was one of the first artists to kind of push aside like the image guys and say, you know what, comics can be more than this, than this Rob Liefeld type stuff. Yeah, he brought it. So, you know, Captain America's been dead. No, I didn't. Yeah. Steve Rogers got shot in the comics. Oh, okay. And this guy, you know, Bucky, his little sidekick. He came back as the winner, Soldier, and he was dead as well. And he was dead as well. So nobody's dead, but Captain America's back in a couple of issues, but Steve Rogers – we don't know yet. No, we do know. We do know. It's not Steve Rogers. It's not Steve Rogers. It's just Captain. You think it's… Who do you think it is? Oh, the Winter Soldier. I've put Winter Soldier. I don't think it's Hawkeye. It's not Hawkeye because we already saw in that one, Jeff Lowe thing that he's not down for that. Yeah, he turned it down. Yeah. So we got, we got possibly Bucky. Wait, when is this reimagining coming out? In a couple of issues. In a couple of, like, what month? Early next year? Early next year. Yeah. Do you think that by then we will have that Iron Man redeeming, like, the Skrull War? I don't know. Because what… I don't know. That's Ian. Maybe Hawkeye. That's Ian's theory. I think it's a perfect theory. Yeah, I do too. Our friend, Ian. It's comic talk. But I got to tell you, this reimagining, I think the suit looks silly. It's lazy. Alex Ross has this, that's right, our good friend, Modern Boy, on the forums posted that it's lazy. It's got, like, this silver top, and then the old classic, Captain America bands, you know, the color bands, and then it's black. Jet black to the boots, and he's got, you know, kind of the same design as he does now for the arms, and he's got his gloves and machine guns. Not machine guns. He had, like, an oozy. It's like one long gun, and it's probably, like, a semi-automatic. Okay, okay, that's not a machine gun. Yeah, it's not a machine gun. Have you seen a machine? God damn it, that's not what people mean when they say machine guns. Oh, you're thinking, like, Rambo, two hands. When people hear machine guns... You go into my neighborhood, you're going to see them. You go into my neighborhood wearing that ascot in your beret, who will gun you down. Yeah, it's a freaking automatic weapon. I'll drink cheese and wine. So he has this, and I, you know what? What I said is, Rubaker, if he's still riding it, I'm in it. Dude, that design is crap. He's just doing the covers of the character design. He's not even doing the interiors. Now, Antros tried to do a design for the Spider-Man film, the first one, and it's the same thing. It is classic Spider-Man from here to here, and then it's black. It's like he gets really drunk, like, halfway through, and he's like, "Oh, this is going to be... Ah, fuck, it just blacked the rest of it." It's just black. It's like, you know what I mean? Like, let's re-imagine Superman. I'm guessing it's what it's going to look like. He's going to have a red cape, he's going to have a blue upper body, and then it's going to be black. You know, "Oh, Batman is going to be really easy for you. It's Batman." Keep the emblem yellow. I mean, let's have Alex Ross design every freaking character in comics. Wolverine, he'll probably bring him back to the yellow brown, classic yellow brown, with black legs. You know? What do you think? What do you think? Wait a minute. Here's all I'm going to say. Yeah, just make the skull black too. I'm going to say in his defenses, I would never say what I liked about... Hank? I was never... It's like I was never like Alex Ross. Hank doesn't want you to put me on. His character designs were so great. It was just he's good at taking something classic and then doing it in his style. I don't know. I'm reminding you why it's cool. Oh yeah, for reminding you why Superman's cool, or why this person's cool. You know? Like, that's what Kingdom come for me was like, "Oh yeah, that guy's cool." Yeah, that's what he's good at. But that's what he's good at. He's not going to tell him stories. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know if he's a good storyteller or if he's good at reimagining a character. He's good at bringing back a character. But as it was, kind of... You know what? Like, the Green Goblin, you saw what the Green Goblin was in that first Spider-Man movie. Yeah, they're fucking... We all love the first Spider-Man movie, but the Green Goblin design was a Power Ranger. Now... That's what I was looking for. Now, if they had made it, I mean, how would they have translated the Goblin that we know Oppoles of Goblin Masco, you know, where's this chainmail stuff? How do we put that in a movie? You know? He tried to reimagine where it looked like it was. That's always the delicate balance of doing the superhero movies is how real, like, in real life, could you have this costume? Could you make this costume? Or do you just say, "Fuck it, we just want this costume to be cool." Yeah, I guess... I mean, we got this bad armor that you see on the cover wizard. Yeah, bad man has done a really good job of saying like, "This is kind of..." You know, but... In the X-Men movies, I thought those costumes were good. I mean, what do you think of Weta? But I would say Batman has probably done the best job, as far as like, and they even show you when he's making the costumes like this is a body armor thing that you would actually find in real life and, you know, they're just... What do you think of this Weta? Peter Jackson's... You know, what do you think of Peter Jackson's company doing these Justice League outfits? I mean, do you hope Wonder Woman looks like Wonder Woman? Do you hope the Flash is a giant red guy? You know, like... Imagine they will, I bet they'll stick pretty close, because I don't know, I've never seen Weta where it's like, they just seem to do what you think this should look like. That's always... It's never like, "Oh, I never imagined this character would look like this." No, that's what... I thought the character would look like in that, but they do. But that's what they're good at. So I don't think it's gonna be like... I'm gonna be like, "What are they doing?" Yeah, I don't think it's gonna be some timbre and like, "What? Who is that doing? Why is it looking like that?" I am Superman! Johnny Depp is Superman. With Johnny Depp. As Superman. So like, you know... Tim Burton's Justice League. Yeah, it's gonna be like a Joel Schumacher movie where it's, you know, whatever. Tim Meadows is the Green Lantern. Tim Meadows is John Stewart. I... That was me starting to get into it. I was starting to do the, uh, ladies' band as... Yeah, I'm John Stewart. Yeah, I'm John Stewart. I'm basically the Green Lantern of 2814. That's a sector, baby. Wow. That's just got my power ring. I have some kavaphi. Who would you cast in this Justice League movie? Let's say you get Tom Welling, a Superman. I would say Tom Welling, a Superman. I don't think... But I mean, can you choose from anyone? Because I would probably choose Christian Bale for Batman, because he's exactly what I want for Batman. Then you'd have this young-ass Superman and this older Batman. Ah, get out of here with that. But, I don't know if that's a silly bad thing, because I always have this idea where it's like... Batman ages worse than Superman does for some reason. I don't know why. Wasn't that seem like some super power of Superman that does really age, really, or anything? And your boy's kingdom come, where he has a fuckin' white in the detail. That's true. White in the detail. It's a rat tail, I think, in that. Where as fuck is Steve Park? You know what? I like kingdom come. I like kingdom come a lot. I like it. I just think it's overrated. Um, I think it is what it is. I think it is what it is. I think it is what it is. It is what it is. It is what it is. It's not the best comic book. It's definitely not something to introduce to someone that doesn't already like comics. No, no. You get that to somebody who's never been into comics DC stuff. They're gonna be like, "Who the hell are these people, why do I care?" 'Cause the Billy Batson part in kingdom come is the best part. When Lex Luthor is giving him his worm in his ear to brainwash him and mind control him, that's the coolest stuff. But if you don't care about Billy Batson, you know. But if you get that to someone who hasn't read comics, they're like, "I don't know if I like comics." I don't even know what I would give someone. I don't know. I honestly don't know what I would give anyone. You got to get your check or your friend into comic books. You've got to give them something that's comparable to the movies that they're into. With Laura, I immediately gave her a pre-trick because she's in the westerns in the horror. Who's this girl you're dating now? Same girl I met. Yeah. What happened to that girl? Were you the one with the Hawaii? Yeah. What are you talking about? This girl now, what is she into? We're going to recommend her some comics. She likes horror. She's really excited to see it three days of night. So I bet if I got her-- No, no, no, no. Do not get it out of there. They're grabbing novels. They're grabbing novels. No, good. But how does she know that? If that can be the gateway to good, to get her to be there? You get her some crap. Get her some heroin. No, what you get her is, get her there walking dead. Okay. Yeah. Well, walking dead is really what 30 days of night should have felt like. It should have felt like this excruciating period of time where you have to outlast this horrible enemy. Okay. 30 days of night, you know. There's no end all be all of the secret of comic books or you can just give it to somebody. You know, again, or whatever. Because everyone's different. There's no secret movies. Is there? There's no secret movie that you say you're going to love. But if you're going to get someone into, I guess, I don't know. Watchmen is what most people say. Watchmen's a mistake. I would say that. Watchmen's for people. Watchmen's a great one for people who actually like to read books. There's a helicopter, folks. They're coming to get Gilmore. Watchmen is great, but it's the same thing as I don't know. It's like, so I don't know. I don't know what I would give someone if I was like, they're like, "I'm not a little walking dead for her." It's a zombie book. She likes listing in a world of zombies. And unlike 30 Days of Night, it actually feels like a passage of time. It feels like an excruciating survival story. So we're going to give you guys a review of 30 Days of Night on the next episode from Austin. Let's talk video games. I'm going to call up a good friend of ours. He's a Geekscapist named Brent. He's in Texas. You guys may have remembered him from episode two of Geekscap back in Austin. He's been playing this thing called the Orange Box. The Orange Box is something that came out for the computer and Xbox systems. It's like Half-Life 2. It's like something like that. It's Team Fortress 2. And it's a game called Portal, which I only played the Flash version. It's a game of Portal. Have you heard about this game of Portal? I'm just laughing about the Orange Box joke. It's what it's called. The Thundercat made. Oh, somebody said Orange Box? Yeah, it's just like, I don't want to post a picture and then it was of blank. Who's this red-head girl who was on the red three forums? Oh, get out of here with that. I love the audience. I do love our audience. This game, Portal, is the only one that I really have experience with. I played the Flash version. Didn't play Half-Life. Didn't play Half-Life, did you? Yeah, yeah. Is it good? Yeah, I know. It's like the first-person shooter? Yeah, it's the first-person shooter. You should go to never ever and get yourself a hosting play on Play Band Am. Perhaps I will. So, this Portal, you got two different guns. Orange, Yellow Portal, one shoots a blue one. Okay. So, let's say you want to get to a higher level. You shoot a portal on the top of the ceiling and one in the floor of the wall. You walk through it and you're going to land through that portal. You know, you walk through one portal, you come out the other. Okay, okay. So, you got to be strategic about where you shoot them. Some surfaces you can't shoot portals onto. It's a strategy game. It's kind of like, you know, one of those. Now, what are you doing? What are you doing? Vijay is throwing things at me. Jesus, Vijay, we're trying to be professional here. I'm not going to call somebody. So, what is Orange Box, the combination of all this? It's like a bunch of games. Oh, it's just a bunch. It's like a fun pack. I thought you were talking about, like, I thought Orange Box was, like, if you combined all these games into a- It's not a red-headed girl's bush. Yeah. Yeah, some weird contraption, like a game genie or some shit. Yeah. Okay. Okay. It's called Bren. It's called Bren. Hey, Bren, are you there? I'm good. How are you sounding, Vijay? Fine. Okay. You sound good. How's Texas, buddy? Are we ready? No. How's Texas? Texas is hot. It's still in October, which sucks. Uh-huh. Now, you moved away from Austin. Where'd you move to? I'm to Israel. It's not having left Texas called Big Spring, which is very boring. How many people are there? Twenty-four thousand making. So it's like the last Starfighter. I took this count in the prison population. It's a big difference. You got to ban the town. Okay. Is your near a prison? What's great is that when aliens invade, you're in those towns that they invade, and you get to be the hero, like, the pizza delivery guy who, like, saves the day, but, like, getting all the aliens to go to, like, old man's cave, and then, like, like, blowing it up on them. Yeah. Uh-huh. What's the- You guys watching dead, like, I just have a much higher chance of surviving a zombie attack, but, you know, prisons are hiding in the small population. We were just talking about that. We were just talking about that. We were just talking about that book. You're all about it. Uh, I'm here with my buddy Nick, and, uh, he wants to know if the orange box is a red-headed girl's bush. If your box is what? Nothing. It was stupid. Um, what is the orange box? I guess box is from a balance they put together this collection of five of their different games. It's essentially a half-life 2 and half-life 2 and half-life 2 and half-life 2 and half-life 2 and half-life 2 and half-life 2 and half-life 2 and half-life 2 and half-life 2 and half-life 2 and half-life 2 and half-life 2 and half-life 2 and half-life 2 and half-life 2. So you're five games for the price of one. Are they any good? They are fantastic. Unless you just hate first person shooters, not to buy this game because half-life 2 is three of all but it's one of the best games ever made. And because we're out of its time, so we do now the graphics stand up. And with the episode winning episode 2, it's really long, really satisfying. Single player experience with half-life 2. And now is a multiplayer? This man has a player with half-life 2, the best player comes with team coaches too, which is an entirely separate thing. If you have a different graphical style, which is amazing. What is it? It's a dangerous on-man shooter. What are the skills of the boys? I think there is five men. But you have always been a character, like an engineer, a doctor, a heavy, just a job, you know, very well. So you pick whatever you want to do, and basically kind of capture the flag, or like he and the whole type of stuff. And it's just, it's really fun. There's not a whole lot of concepts there, but what's there is really good. So one guy is like an explosives expert? One guy is like an explosives expert, another guy is like a medic, can you go around and do that? If you just want to speak around, you know, you can get a spot, backstab, you can stand a bag, be a spacer. Like every class is very well defined, and they don't have, you know, we're multiplying strengths and weaknesses, so you can take it for very team-based games, but together as well. Now what about Portal? Like I played a little bit of the Flash version, and that seemed like it could be a really cool mix of strategy and action. Portal is kind of, even the Half-Life 2 is the majority of the game, and Half-Life 2 is one of the best games ever made and still holds up. Portal is kind of the star of the show, because it's something completely unique, like you've never played a game like Portal. It's the first-person shooter that is kind of more of a puzzle in the game, and it's essentially, you have these smaller, lots of objectives, like if a point A is a point B, but you have this gun that opens these portals, so you shoot them all, and have an entrance, and then shoot them all, and have an exit on the other end of the room, and the thing that really makes it amazing is not just the puzzle aspect of it, which is great, but it has this wicked sense of humor. It's one of the funniest games I've ever played. Really? Yeah, that's cool. What are you playing it on? Are you playing it on a 360? I'm playing on the PC. How is it? On the PC, I mean, it's fantastic. I'm assuming it's like, I don't see 1 or 360. I mean, console to cut off the PCs, like, pretty much. I don't think you can lose any much playing on a 360, you can be paying a little bit more. But, I think on the PC, it's a fantastic game. There's no reason not to get it, because all 5 games included on it are just great. It's not a weak link there. How's it funny? It's funny. It's all in the dialogue of this robot, I don't even know. It's guiding you through all these different puzzles, always different levels in the game. And the farther you get it, the more kind of unhinged that the horse gets, the closer you get the completion, because he doesn't want you to finish. Oh, okay. And you've kind of set the movement in the dialogue that's too bad. It's like being in a relationship. What's that? It's like being in a relationship. At the very beginning, they really behave, and then once they get comfortable with you, they start doing crazy shit. And they never want you to finish. They don't want you to finish. Well, mine don't want me to start. My 5 rounds is funny. And the incredible thing is, when you can find it online, people are posting it all over, but the incredible thing is brilliant. It has vocals and stuff like that? Like it lyrics? That's cool. You never hear about that in a game like this kind of song, you know what I mean? No, totally. Is it better than Utada Hikaru's shit on the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts games? That was Gilmore. You can ignore him too. So, so, Brian, listen, man. Thanks for giving the review. Yeah, it's good to have you on the show again, buddy. Yeah, I'll be back to you soon. We're going to be in Austin next week. It stinks that you're not going to be there. All right, buddy. I love you, man. All right. All right. Take it hard, buddy. So that was our review of Orange Box from our good buddy, Brent. That's awesome. You got to tell people, "Hey, stay hard. Life is hard. You got to be harder." That's what Van Dam told me. It's just concerning when you tell me that, and I just woke up and I'm in my underwear and shit. Yeah, that's like 2 p.m. So, yeah, you know what? I'm getting closer to getting into this PS3 thing. I'm not going to buy a PS3, but I'd like one for this new Ratchet and Clank game. You know, it seems like PS3 is starting to get their shit like their third party stuff together. Okay. And I love the Ratchet and Clank series. And one of our geekskapists on the forum said it was a lot of fun, not even being a fan. I'm a fan of this stuff, and I definitely want to play it. Vijay, we got excited about Mario Kart and Mario Galaxy, because the new Mario Galaxy video looks awesome, giant robot fighting. You see this little clip of Mario standing on an earth, and then it zooms out to where he's like a pixel. And this giant robot's climbing around the planet and you have to take him out. That's awesome. It looks great. And it has 2D parts too, so it's not just a third overhead, you know, third person deal. Like, the two-dimensional stuff is good. And then Mario Kart, of course, that comes out soon. I was excited to find out that there's actually motorcycles in the game. Motorcycles, baby. And when you go up, when you're like in a ramp, remember Sonic CD when you were in the tunnel? The bonus levels are the tunnel? And you went up to the top, and now you're in a motorcycle, and when you go to the top, you do like a little flip and land back again, like Tony Hawk Pro Skater type stuff. Isn't that fuck your speed? Yo, it's Mario. Throw a couple mushrooms in there, you're kicking ass. Wow. I'm excited, dude. I'm excited for the wheel. I'm excited for all that. I'm excited for that Link crossbow training craft. It comes with the wheel. It comes with the wheel. Mario Kart comes with the wheel that you put the Wii mode in. And that's how you control it. Oh, it's probably just a handle though, you know? Yeah, you put it in there. But it's still basically, it's like a Mario Party 8 when you kind of use shit like a wheel like it, like use it like a wheel in the little Mario Kart type game. But still, but still the difference between an experienced gamer and someone like Laura, Laura can pick it up and she can play it because it's intuitive to the driving. Kind of, remember how hard that shit was to play? What? You me and Vijay are playing Mario Party 8? Mario Party 8? It's hard for you. No. I figured it out first. Who won the game first? Who won that little challenge first? I did. Why? Because I learned how to do it. I'm pretty damn sure I figured it out, friends. I won that challenge. It's okay. You can go home and cry. Mario Party 8? I'll take it. You know who actually won the big Mario Party 8 tournament? Laura? Yeah. I was awesome. I loved that. She wants me to get Mario Party 8 now. I asked her for the other night. Well, where's that thing where it beat Vijay? Yeah, it's Vijay's game. The only time, the only time anyone beat Vijay was Laura because Laura can see through the cheat codes. Vijay found some Korean version of Mario Kart where you can actually pay money to upgrade your vehicle. And when you win, you get cash prizes. It's a total Mario Kart take off. Isn't it fun, Vijay? Yeah, dude, gambling is what it's at. If you can start making money off these video games, it'd be huge. You heard about this Golden Tea thing? It's Golden Tea. At all the sports cars, you got Golden Tea, the Golden Tea Golf games. All right, all right, all right. They have these things now where you can create a bank account, right? And you can play other players around the world for money. In a bar. In a bar. As you're drunk. As you're drunk. You're not throwing money on this. My buddy who is in Orlando, so there's this bar who's basically sole purpose that exists is it has five high-end, pristine, they clean everyday machines and they'll just be guys lined up. That's their daily job, is to play Golden Tea because they're just making money. None of the games where you have to like unlock girls tits and some of that. You know what I mean? It's creepy. It's creepy. No, no, no. You know those bar games where there's two different girls. There's two different girls and you have to see the discrepancy in the picture. And when you spot them, they start taking their clothes taken off and as it progresses, they get naked. I don't know. What? No, those are bars. It's like a poker game kind of it or a trivia game. Trivia game. Trivia game. And you can play against people. That is what they do to support themselves. Yeah, but that's how they do it. Wow. That's amazing. Yeah, because it's like they're getting around gambling things because they're saying no. You're just paying for the service of playing the game or whatever and you have your credits or whatever you're playing. But you're gambling. That's awesome. And you're playing Golden Tea for B.J. You gotta get into that. You know where I think my advantage would be? I'd be the only sober person playing. Maybe. But these guys are... I'm sorry. We say that's all they do.
