specifically...

good eye jim!

Indeed it appears to be. I thought it was from Tales of a Topographic or one of those. Ah well, that's OK. Kirk sent me a replacement that R0xx0rz my b0xx0rz

Roger -Dot- Lee, figuratively speaking, that is...

New Avatar, with a hearty nod to Kirk.

Roger -Dot- Lee

glad to be of service! :cool:

that was confusing....
 

for a second. I just checked the forums after an absence.

I was reding RL's post in the other forum and the Yes avatar was there, then I went to this one.

Since the avatars change for every post ever done, I'm looking at Jim's post about "isn't that Ponty'? and saying, "no that's Yes". I see now. At the time it was Mystical Adventures. Great record.

Phew....now that THAT's settled:p :eek:

Hearty nod? Is that like hearty soup? And does that mean we can pick his brain?

KEV !! where are you?
 

Saw his moving "Human Torch" Avatar this week, I'm a sucker for great special eFfects,I Like It !!
Yes- only 6, but Last was with Porcupine Tree 2 years agoWhat a double-bill !!
DR. DOT-- Roger Dean in the best . You can't lose. What? no Frazetta available?

Re: KEV !! where are you?
 

I don't know. Kirk sent me this, and I liked it. So I resized it, stuffed it, and, as they say, Bob's your uncle.

Maybe. At least I hope so. Once I get a little better with the mixing and composing stuff on my Mac, I fully intend on picking his brain for how to make it sound like it wasn't done by someone who didn't have the first clue what he was doing (assisted by his well intentioned 12 year old step daughter and supervised by his Severe Macaw)

Re: Re: KEV !! where are you?
 

Bob's your uncle? Sounds like that Moon band, Bob's Your Monster.....

Re: Re: Re: KEV !! where are you?
 

I thought the offical Aural Moon band name was "Astropr0n Delivery System".

comic books...
 

you comic book aficionados might enjoy this:

John Byrne

I used to do some 3d, John is quite a character. :D

Whoa
 

started with avatars and now we're talking comic books. I'm game. Anyone else pissed at the rumors around the third X-Men movie? Fox idiots...

Thanx for the Byrne Link........

the Movies have been Hit & Miss... Here's hopin'

new one.
 

Ok, well, since my leg is already in the gallery, I put up a banal picture of Oysterhead for July.

Re: new one.
 

Maybe Banal but they are all wearing socks!

X-Men Runours?
 

What are these rumours about the third X-Men movie? And what's the problem involving Fox?

Rob

the only thing i've heard, is that brian singer isn't
doing it, director mathew vaughn quit, now brett
(rush hour) ratner's directing.

one cool (weird?) note- kelsey grammer's been cast
as hank mccoy/the beast.
if you know the character's personality, he's perfect.

yesspaz, what have you heard?
-----------------------------

fantastic four was decent, a good job bringing
tough characters to life. the origin ate up a good chunk of the movie.
chiklis's "thing" stole the picture IMO, spot on.

k

looks like a done deal

If you like X-Men, weep for this franchise. I've got to run now, but I'll fill in the details later.
:confused:

back to the subject at hand
 

i love kevs new avatar...that rockin burning man!

Ok, apparently Fox has never known what to do with the X-Men franchise. They never believed in it because it breaks many cardinal rules, specifically "too many stars" and "too many characters." Fortunately for them, Bryan Singer is a moviemaker who knows what he's doing. But since the franchise started, Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman's stock, and salary, has risen. Fox dilly-dallied getting X3 made, so Warner Bros. seized the opportunity and lured Bryan Singer away with the carrot that is Superman. So, now X3 will not be made by a "moviemaker," but by a "corporation." What I mean by that is Singer respects the characters and story, but he's gone, leaving the franchise in the hands of Fox Suits. Fox knows that the franchise is a cash cow, but they care more about dollars than story, naturally. The script has gone through no less than six rewrites, with different script doctors doing it each time, some of which have "instructions" from Fox to increase the "star's" screen time in order to insure they come back. For instance, Halle Berry is demanding less working hours + more screen time, and since Halle Berry is the biggest star in the X-Men franchise, she gets it. Fox ultimately cares about the final dollar count, and Berry is a box-office draw - hence the reasoning behind... Well, you can read it for yourself at the links below. SPOILER alert if you do - you've been warne. Suffice it to say, Fox is desecrating my favorite comic book series. Off with their heads.

Oh, and Singer's Superman Returns is going well. Lex Luthor will be played by Kevin Spacey, and Zod by Jude Law. Great casting both times.

gotta go with you there Yspaz
 

watch the next installment fall flat...shame. i use to be a real voracious comic reader, collector into my early teens...still have a box of vintage DC (mostly) comics. love the genre, was my first artistic love, had my own league of super women (the JLA didn't have enought—and hated Wonder woman, but i had her as a member anyway)

ahhh the memories...wonder where those comic books are too!

poda
:rolleyes:

p.s. thanks for the info links Yesspaz:)

X-amples
 

Thanx for the dismal update, FF mytholgy twisted in the new movie as usual. the Puppet Master must have been Vin Ryames.
Still, I thought Ben was great , the torch Hot, the ending....
Popcorn was great. My Favorite Wrightson creation went big screen, and...plop. Sometimes a supergem appears(spidy1) but usually we get a Catwoman, or a Swampthing

uh, as a non X-man fan I don't have a huge problem with Halle Berry screen time...:p

(but I feel your pain. That would be like Vivendi buying Aural Moon and featuring Britney Spears or something, to put it in terms I can understand...)

Re: looks like a done deal
 

KIRK, I change my desktop weekly and find fantasy art everywhere, NOW HERE? Thanx for the poster!

nnnnggggg.....

nnnnnngggggGGGGGG....


NNNNGGGGGAAAAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEE*paf* (head explodes)

I'm sorry, but the only acceptable way to listen to Britney Spears is with the mute function engaged.

Roger -Dot- Lee, Ugh. Just ... Ugh.

Cross-men
 

Thanks to YessPaz for xplaining the xmen problems. Hmmm...now I wait with trepidation instead of enthusiasm. :mad:

Funny things get talked about here.

Thats why I chose mine from a Greenslade cover - The mask

Put on a mask with everone else.

Problem is the wife is howling I don't remember to take it off again.

Back to avatars, I'm getting stoked about the new King's X album, and so I've put a Tape Head era photo up.

Re: Why that avatar?
 

I chose my avatar for two reasons; I live in the country on 5 acres and it reminds me of my home base and Michael Hedges was one of the most amazing guitarists ever and died an unfortunate early death, so it's a bit of a homage to him.

Got a problem with that? :bang!:

Re: Why that avatar?
 

For me, this avatar is very memorable.
5 years ago we family went to Japanese whisky distillery.
We (especially I) could get fresh air, woody flavour and tasty whisky...excellent atmosphere!
This memory's always takin' me by storm.

Of course, the man on the avatar is me. :winkies:

Thank you.

Re: Why that avatar?
 

Meerkats are cool! I took this at the "fellow earthlings wildlife center" in Morongo Valley, CA where you can adopt one of the little buggers, visit with them, and feed them, they're a trip! Besides, you don't want to see my ugly mug.

Re: Why that avatar?
 

Sometimes I feel like that.

Re: Why that avatar?
 

Well...my son and I...what else can I say? I love him very much.
