  1. It's sad hearing about people whom you grew up watching die. I really hope one day the batman series will be released on DVD.
  2. Batman's Riddler, Frank Gorshin, dead Talented impressionist played George Burns on B'way Wednesday, May 18, 2005 Posted: 1:37 PM EDT (1737 GMT) BURBANK, California (AP) -- Actor Frank Gorshin, the impressionist with 100 faces best known for his Emmy-nominated role as the Riddler on the old "Batman" television series, has died. He was 72. Gorshin's wife of 48 years, Christina, was at his side when he died Tuesday at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, his agent and longtime friend, Fred Wostbrock, said Wednesday. "He put up a valiant fight with lung cancer, emphysema and pneumonia," Mrs. Gorshin said in a statement. Despite dozens of television and movie credits, Gorshin will be forever remembered for his role as the Riddler, Adam West's villainous foil in the question mark-pocked green suit and bowler hat on "Batman" from 1966-69. "It really was a catalyst for me," Gorshin recalled in a 2002 Associated Press interview. "I was nobody. I had done some guest shots here and there. But after I did that, I became a headliner in Vegas, so I can't put it down." West said the death of his longtime friend was a big loss. "Frank will be missed," West said in a statement. "He was a friend and fascinating character." Gorshin earned another Emmy nomination for a guest shot on "Star Trek." In 2002, Gorshin portrayed George Burns on Broadway in the one-man show "Say Goodnight Gracie." He used only a little makeup and no prosthetics. "I don't know how to explain it. It just comes," he said. "I wish I could say, 'This is step A, B and C.' But I can't do that. I do it, you know. The ironic thing is I've done impressions all my life -- I never did George Burns." Gorshin's final performance will be broadcast on Thursday's CBS-TV series "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation." http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/05/18/o...n.ap/index.html
  3. AHAHAAHAHAHAHA! BOW TO ME! FOR I HAVE RECIEVED MY TICKETS TO THE MIDNIGHT SHOWING OF STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH. I AM THE SHIT, I MIGHT ADD.
  4. You've got to be kidding me!
  5. What collimated nearly two and a half years ago is about to end. Just one more day!
  6. http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_picture...code/large.html I've never read the book, so I have no idea what it's about, but there is alot of buzz for this film coming next summer. It's got a good director (Ron Howard) and a great cast (Tom Hanks, Ian McKellen, Audrey Tautou, Jean Reno, Alfred Molina) so now I'm keeping my eye on it. I may have to go read the book.
  7. When you're the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, arranging for a day off isn't too hard...
  8. I'm off on 5/19 and I didn't even ask for that day off. Perhaps it was fate.
  9. http://superherohype.com/gallery/Batman/Th...lls/bbnew12.jpg I guess this is the scene where Scarecrow sets Batman on fire making him the first villain in the Batman series to ever get any offense on Batman and actually hurt him.
  10. Which would be? Oh yeah, I forgot, his Dirty Dancing Lance really did the trick.
  11. This is the greatest animated gif EVER!
  12. Great taste.
  13. Yeah this time last year was much more exiciting. Prom, graduation, my first job, etc. This year it's like I envy the seniors about to graduate.
  14. I wonder what will be number one next week. Predictions?
  15. Then: Now:
  16. The hell is going on in this picture?
  17. Obviously, the Jedi had given up on the idea that Vader was "the Chosen One" by the time A New Hope rolled around. All two of them....if you don't count the EU.
  18. I guess The Rock was off filming his part in The Mummy 2 or something.
  19. What was Taker doing at the contract signing?
  20. I bought this game and marked out when Anakin has the Sepratists cornered and Nute Gunray opens up a door, goes through, shuts it, and locks it leaving all of his partners to be slaughtered by Darth Vader. Too bad he doesn't do that in the movie. That would have been hilarious.
  21. Or both.
  22. "Cocaine is a helluva drug." Seriously, if I was walking down the street and some guy on the side saw me and ran across the street causing an eight care pile up just to say "I'M RICK JAMES, BITCH!" I would probably go insane.
  23. It's my birthday. I remember when I was younger, I would always look foward to birthdays. I was so excited, and the only thing that could beat it was Christmas. Now, it's just like "not another one." Anyone else feel that way? Does anything good happen when you're nineteen?
