The Thoughts, They Download Randomly

Welcome back to another Random Thought Download, wherein I have a few things that don't form into a post unto themselves.




Last week I talked about my school girl like crush on voice actors. Well here is a trailer for a well known voice actor's movie. Full disclosure on this one - I hate Family Guy, American Dad makes my eyes bleed, and The Cleavland Show is like watching a coat hanger abortion. However Seth MacFarlane is a pretty good voice actor. I loved his Johann Kraus in Hellboy II. "Ted" looks kinda funny, and the trailer has it's moments. Looks to be a fun change from the summer blockbuster season.


The finals for Lord Stanley's Cup are well underway with the Kings up 2 games to nothing on the Devils. I don't have a dog in this fight and these two teams are quite a ways off my radar. Still it is playoff Hockey so I am keeping up to date. Also if you had told me at the start of the playoffs that Los Angeles would be 14-2 going into game 3 of the finals, I would have had you put into Arkham for being criminally insane.


 And finally the post all 2 of you were waiting for. Last week DC stated that Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern, is ......no longer in radio broadcasting. Oh and he is gay, on Earth-2, in the New 52. I have been getting quite a few texts and messages along the lines of "I told you Green Lantern was gay!". This is a non-issue for me. For one I don't care that a character I like is gay. Two it is on Earth-2, the one no one cares about. From the looks of it they have de-aged him from his old JSA self. At the end of the day I still like Alan Scott and I just hope that him being gay is not his defining characteristic and that he stays a fully fleshed out character.

Voice Star Wars

I am a huge fan of voice actors. I think the ability to perform using only your vocal chords and make one laugh or cry (Jurassic Bark I am looking at you through tear filled eyes). I had the great fortune to interview my share of voice actors when I used to work on a radio nerd show - The Sci-Fi Zone - many moons ago. They were all a delight to chat with, more so than some of the on-camera folks we talked to.  I even bought Mark Hamill's "Comic Book - The Movie" just because it stars voice actors. 

 
Yeah I am an unapologetic fanboy.

So when I ran across this slice of nerdvana I was an ecstatic geek. Yes it is over an hour long and well worth every second. However if you don't have that much time to kill then just watch from the 4:44 to the 9:03 marks. It is well worth your time.
