aww, chin up guys! Because like the crazy stalker that haunts your dreams at night, we the listeners are with you every step of the way…even when you go to the bathroom – Ok, wait, that came out creepier than i meant it…lemme try again, like pamela anderson’s underwear we..support…you?…ok, fine, look i suck at doing material, but cheer up! we love u and you can’t beat that ;)! Stay safe guys!
Thank you for the kind words D.L. I actually don’t know where Professor Doctor Gareth Higgins is at this moment – somewhere south of here, hopefully safe and well, (I appreciate he’s got to be where he’s got to be – someone’s got to return that crystal skull!).
Gareth’s criticism (spoilers ahoy) of the ending of the I.H. where Banner’s eyes turn green and he is smiling is actually alluding to the comic book story line where Banner finds a way to control the Hulk’s emergence, I believe – which is setting up all the future movies, such as “The Avengers”, which the Hulk is a part of that “superhero team” only because Banner can now control when the Hulk shows up. (yes it is sad that I know this)
However, I agree with it’s cheesy appearance on it’s surface and without this knowledge.
Thanks for the info Phil – (though why Marvel would be spending so much time setting up a movie that combines characters ((thereby diluting its ability to make money = more characters in more movies = more money, rather than lumping them together)), is not clear.
I have now seen ‘The Incredible Hulk’, (contrary to my pledge not to see it as stated in Part 24), and…well…guess I’ll talk about it in an upcoming show.
As I understand it, between now and several years from now, there is slated to be an “Iron Man 2″, “Thor”, “Captain America”, thus culminating to an “Avengers” movie consisting of all these characters + the Hulk.
The question is, “how will they afford all the stars of those movies?” and the initial answer seems to be “CGI”.
P.S. – I think you were too hard on yourself with this episode of FilmTalk – I enjoy the rambling and a less-than-energetic Jett Loe is still pretty energetic…
Cheers Phil re: being hard on myself. But I want every part of ‘The Film Talk’ to be special – it can’t just be random ramblings of two guys – there is already a huge supply of that on the intertubes.
Of course, the thing is ‘The Film Talk’ is an actual conversation – one long talk about movies brought to you every week – Gareth and I don’t compare notes before the show so we don’t know what the other is going to say; so I still want to keep it fresh while still being a bit more engaging – or dare I say it: commercial?
That’s why it’s good. Any normal conversation is going to go on tangents, and I glean a lot of info about movies I wouldn’t ordinarily know – which I would think anyone who enjoys movies would find interesting.
Thanks so much Phil – glad you enjoy it! :) (regardless of the length!)
Ah, sorry to hear you feeling low guys!
Only just got round to listening to your show yesterday. You keep me company on the long road to and from work – so keep rambling, keep it off the cuff and fresh. And wow! Like the new site design!
ed hardy perfumeA long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and lay around it every
day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow… He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by… the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and
play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.”
“Sorry, but I don’t have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the
tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a
house for shelter. Can you help me?”“Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off
the tree and left happily. The tree was gad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax
myself. Can you give me a boat?”“Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a bo<a

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you…” the tree said.
“I don’t have teeth to bite,” the boy replied.
“No more trunk for you to climb on.”
“I am too old for that now,” the boy said.
“I really can’t give you anything… the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.
“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.
“Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, Come sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…<a
