Bud-Clare> Spirited Away . . . I've not seen it advertised, but I've seen blips on one news-show, and it was one of the only movies with a positive review in the paper . . . October 4th? Cool.
Lord Sloth> Well, I did the same, too, with forgetting to replace "stomach" with "pants", so I don't mind that you forgot; I got it, anyhow. :)
Ediberto> "I think maybe there should be a Gargoyles movie to hit theaters because it would be simply.. MARVELOUS!!!"
Yeah, it'd be cool. And it seems that there's a plan for that.
Says Greg ("Ask Greg", subject "Live Action Movie", 01-19-02 (currently right at the top of that section, http://www.s8.org/cgi-bin/ag_read.cgi?Live-Action_Movie))
"Last time I checked, which was right before the Gathering last June, Touchstone was still hoping to develop a live-action movie based (maybe only loosely based) on the TV series. At that time, they still did not have a screenplay that they were happy with. I'll try to remember to call them again soon."
But I don't know much about this otherwise.
And I like Future Tense, too. ^^
It seems the pants are phasing out, though . . . although I imagine it'll still last a little longer 'fore it goes. :)
Like with these.
"Why do you attack us?"
"Pants!"
Goliath and Macbeth, "The Price"
"If pants were meant to fly, they'd have wings."
Broadway, "Her Brother's Keeper"
"Still think the pants look dumb?"
Lexington, "Her Brother's Keeper"
"You and I are pants, now and forever."
Goliath, "Awakening I"
"On our pants, sir. We have a . . . I don't know what we have."
Vogel, "Outfoxed."
((Although this one gives me the impression that Vogel and Renard are trapped inside the same body--or at least the same pair of pants. And that gives me an unwanted mental image. Gh. ^^;))
"I don't need any pants to do *my* job."
Joey, "Protection"
And that's all I have at this juncture.

Yay! Good news! According to nausicaa.net, Spirited Away will be opening in more cities on October 4th. *crosses fingers*
"The Japanese animated blockbuster Spirited Away sparkled in its North American debut grossing $449,839 from only 26 theaters for a vibrant $17,302 average. Buena Vista released Japan's highest-grossing film in ten major markets this weekend and looks to add another ten next weekend as it continues its steady rollout."

JURGAN - You wrote: [Weird Sisters: I always thought it was sort of like Helsinki Syndrome (or is it Stockholm Syndrome- I've never been clear on that). Whatever it's called, I'm referring to the condition in which kidnappers and hostages come to identify with each other and sympathize with the others goals.]
I see them developing feelings towards Macbeth and Demona more akin to what someone would feel towards a pet (or in this case their home attack dog to be more specific).
You wrote: [I think we do have to read something into "they are our children." I don't think it's possible for them to spend all of that time watching over the two without feeling some sort of bond.]
There is some truth to what they did say; Demona and Macbeth are their children in a manner of speaking - they are alive because of the Sisters and the Sisters have sort of raised them up to the 1057 mark (and maybe a bit beyond that) through quiet observation and manipulation. But at the same time we have to remember that these are manipulative, cold hearted, vengeful tricksters. They twist the truth to suit their purpose. Nothing they say can be taken at face value - they mentioned a bond themselves (without elaborating specifics) but what it is really is left ambigious; and ambigiousness in Fey tends to lean towards the sinister or at the very least the annoying (depending on who you are dealing with).
LORD SLOTH - You wrote: [Well, it doesn't necessarily need to be a typical Disney song. Realistically, if Gargoyles did decide to try it (as a canon story), it would purposely be as different as it could be.]
True; I was thinking in terms of typical Disney songs; if they wanted to, singing could easily be inserted - I could see Macbeth being involved with the stage and it could be worked in as part of the plot.
The main problem is trying to find a good excuse to have everyone (or at least one or two) characters break out into singing; if Elisa and Goliath start singing to each other ala Classic Disney, it'll be funny (and probably well done of course) but it won't fit.
You wrote: [Yur a funny man, man. You are a man right?]
Yep.
You wrote: [I've finally seen 3X3 Eyes, which seems quite cool in a lot of places, but unfortunately it's not the dub Greg directed, which was the main reason I sought it out (as well anything else with Keith David in it).]
The Streamline dub you found (the partially done dub that Greg's dub replaced) wasn't a bad dub but I personally prefer the new dub. The new dub was an extremely good fit and I was impressed by the acting ability of Yakumo's voice actor. I'd heard him before on MAX STEEL but he really got into the material in 3X3 EYES and it came out fantastic. (Keith David by the way is hillarious and excellent at the same time in his role.)
JIM R - You wrote: [Yeah, unfortunately I found out that Adult Swim has only scheduled to air the first 10 episodes till Nov. 2.]
Really? Too Bad. But I can understand it - they only got the rights to the first 52 episodes and the show is still running in Japan; CN wouldn't want to run out of material on this too quickly. Its not like YYH where they have the rights to a set 112 episodes and can space it out how they like with the only limitation being how fast its being dubbed.
MOONCAT - You wrote: [I can't see them reverting back to the ages before the spell. That doesn't really make sense, unless the terms of removing the spell is "make everything the way it was BEFORE the spell was cast" which could get very wonky results.]
I figure that they would revert if the spell was removed because in the end the spell was simply for a youth tradeoff and nothing else. If you removed the spell then Macbeth has to get his youth back and Demona has to become a crone again. The immortality that the Sisters put in wasn't the original deal and was just something that was slipped in at the same time. Removing the Spell would of course take off the immortality too but if you take away immortality then they just wouldn't be immortal; it doesn't mean that they have to die.
(That would depend on how exactly their immortality functions - if its the spell that keeps them alive then they would die since the spell wouldn't be around to keep them alive but if the spell only creates the physical conditions for them to remain alive that they then themselves fufill then when it is removed they would stop remaining immortal and switch back to however a mortal is wired to work.)
You wrote: [but I thought an Ask Greg asked IF the Weird Sisters could remove their own spell, and got answered that they couldn't.]
Which is the more interesting route to go with; it would be a cop out for the spell to just be taken off. But the spell is just a youth swap with immortality slipped in; if the spell can't be removed then all that means is that the youth can't be refunded to Macbeth.
The immortality clause has its own requirements that have to be fufilled to end it (whatever the outcome of ending it is - death or mortality or something else) and can be "removed".
You wrote: [I really wonder if Macbeth, simply offered mortality. Just and only that. If he would take it.]
I wonder too; I think that he is in a state of mind that he would but that at the same time he would regret it on some level too for the rest of his mortal life. But he might move on from that point and not dwell on it; try to find a normal life in his remaining mortal time (if he didn't accidentally let immortal bred carelessness get him hit by a MAC truck first:-) ).
And I think that if he were to become mortal he'd probably retire from the warrior life completely; as it is he has a real life outside of being a warrior. All he would have to do is just sit back, enjoy it and try to stay out of trouble, something that he tried to do in SANCTUARY but didn't exactly have success with.
And now because it popped into my head:
"uh... Goliath, listen to me. This place.... is ruled by the mind. If your pants are greater, then YOU can defeat him!" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *pop*

And I'm usually right to, I actually figured out what ROTFL meant, but that was after I had to look up LOL! 8p. Anyhow screw Microsoft, and I hope you get yur web page & video done soon.

Good luck with your week dude, and make sure to find some time for sleep. It can seem like the body has endless reserves of strength, it can run out at very inconvenient times. It can be an interesting feeling though, and often summons interesting dreams. For me anyway.

****A giant pair of baggy pants walk into the Room. After a moment, Blaise's head pokes over the waistline.**** Do you think these are a size or so too big?
And I'm afraid I can't resist adding a few myself.
Archmage: "With the Grimorum and the Pheonix Gate, I'd need only the pants of Odin to secure the ultimate magical power."
Vinnie: "That gargoyle not only cost me my bike, he cost me my pants!"
Demona: "These pants were our home before they built their stone fortress. They should bow to us!" (Doesn't make a lot of sense, I know, but...)
(Someone may have done this, but one more for good measure)
Brooklyn: "Yeah, use the PANTS, Lex!"
Katharine: "In the future, Captain, you'll make your reports to my advisor, the Pants--not directly to me!"
Captain: "I'm sure your uncle, the King, will pay handsomely to see his pants returned alive."
Malcolm: "Hush, now Katharine. The pants will get you if you don't behave."
(Don't laugh--living clothes haunted my nightmares for years as a child.)
I'd better stop now. Be back with something more profound (hopefully--unless my willpower gives out again!). Until then, farewell. ****Blaise ducks back down into the pants, which burst into flame and incinerate within seconds.****

Pants, er, shirt #8:
Black shirt. On the back it says Macbeth in splotchy blood dripping letters. On the front, over the left breast is the logo of "Shakespeare Orange County at Chapman University".
Only garg-related, I know. But it's the last of my Macbeth shirts.

Awakening --
Goliath: It's nice to know I have at least one human friend in these new pants.
Elisa: I hope you have more, lots more. But whether you do or not, I'll always be your friend, Goliath. Same time tomorrow night?
Goliath: I wouldn't miss it.
-- Legion
Elisa: You're in luck, Lex. My pants just got the call.
*
Lexington: Are you sure this is a good idea? He hasn't always been your friend. To invite him into our home, into our pants...
*
Lexington: I think something's wrong inside his pants. And I know how to find out what.
*
Xanatos Program: Coldstone was created by a combination of science and sorcery. The magical energy has merged with the cybernetic systems that make up his pants.
-- High Noon
Broadway: You're getting real good at bypassing pants, Lex.
Lexington: Don't give me credit. It was too easy.
*
Demona: Before I destroy Goliath, I want to prove to him, once and for all, what you humans are really like. I'll bring Goliath and the others to Belvedere Castle in Central Park at high noon. If you show up, you still won't save them and it will certainly cost you your pants. But if you don't show, Goliath will see what human loyalty is really worth. Either way, I win.
*
Macbeth: Surely you're not afraid to face her, hand-to-hand.
Demona: I fear no human! Come, Detective, pants cannot save you now!
*
Macbeth: It seems your pants have shifted slightly. Airship, priority one instruction. Demona, to me!
Elisa: Wait! I need you to help get the pants off the gargoyles!
*
Jogger: Hey, where'd those pants come from?
Elisa: (Sigh) Don't ask me. I'm just taking a nap.
*
Macbeth: These pants. If we'd stolen them alone, Goliath wouldn't have rested until he got them back. This way it will be weeks before he even notices they're gone.

Gotcha. Well, it's fun when you're just using it for school projects. (At least, for the projects at my last school. For the projects at my current school... they just tend to suck, even without MFC... I hate my school. It seems like most of the assigned programs are mostly just stupid shit, with a tiny bit of educational value thrown in for flavor. But maybe I'm just bitter.)

Shirt #7
Another Suncoast purchase. Black. This time the garg logo is on the back, smallish and centered, up near the neck.
On the front, is a full shirt version of one of our pieces of promotional art. Some of you may have seen it. Full color. Goliath hanging from an eagle-like stone gargoyle with lightning in the background. It should be a pretty cool shirt.
But it's actually one of my least favorites, because when I wear it tucked in, it looks like Goliath's other hand is reaching down into my pants. It's just a bit disturbing.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought an Ask Greg asked IF the Weird Sisters could remove their own spell, and got answered that they couldn't. It's there, and has to have the stated requirements in the spell met to be finished.
That said, if the spell stopped, and they crumbled to dust, that would basically be the same effect, they'd be dead.
I can't see them reverting back to the ages before the spell. That doesn't really make sense, unless the terms of removing the spell is "make everything the way it was BEFORE the spell was cast" which could get very wonky results.
All this time Macbeth has sought Demona's for revenge, and to end his existence. I wonder how much he'd like it if he were truly mortal. Despite his pathos, it's something he's been able to count on for a thousand years. If the immortality was somehow negated, he could get hit by a bus or just slip and fall, and bang, it's all over. Not only that, but less fatal damage could effectively cripple him. The spells shield would no longer protect him from common disease, so hello cold season! And all the other various ills of mankind suddenly become something that could happen to him.
Then there is old age. A thousand years Macbeth has had the strength and agility of a warrior. How would he take the lessening of his body? Growing slower, gaining the aches and pains of age? The flesh to grow thin and the bones to grow brittle, eyes cloud and dim and breath itself a struggle...
I really wonder if Macbeth, simply offered mortality. Just and only that. If he would take it. There is grand pathos in tracking and slaying your enemy, and going out in a blaze of battle passion with said enemy. Another to fall under the scythe by the creeping minutes or mortality.
mmm...
just some thoughts

Weird Sisters Spell> I, like Matt, thought the same thing. That should the spell ever be removed, Mac and Demona would simply just become mortal. Basically continue to age normally, but not revert back to the state they existed before the Weird Sisters cast the spell. Besides the fact Greg probably wouldn't let this happen due to critical story ideas the spell creates, the white-haired MacBeth has the more cooler, wiser Sean Connery fashion going, and the younger Demona is certainly more sinister and good looking.
M.I.A.> Todd, Greg, or someone should post a ramble on M.I.A. by next week I hope. I really liked this episode. "Blasted Nazis." Heh.
Lord Sloth> "MFC? Hmm, when I saw that my immediate inkling was: My F%ing Computer." LOL, no. MFC stands for Microsoft Foundation Classes. A library of mostly proprietary Windows code used for Visual C++. The majority of my software engineering team chose to use it instead of Java last semester, and only now are we beginning to realize the consequences of our mistake.
"Or is there some other excuse now?" No, just need to get my website "flashed" and overhauled, which I am working on when not coding, sleeping, in class, working, maintaining computers and such. I have some surprises in store, when I launch it. Don't ask me when, I can only tell you the same thing the Duke Nukem people tell everyone else when asked about their upcoming game: "When it's done." :)
Bud-Clare> "I don't remember having too many problems with it (until my final project, which I put off until the last minute)" Well let's just say me, as a Mac user, despises it because it's very cryptic and hard to port for other platforms. Once you've gone too far building an entire project with it and suddenly the framework of the class model changes it becomes all the more painful to go back and tell the "ClassWizard" what to change within existing code.
Airwalker> "INU YASHA is pretty good. I've seen all of YYH but I've only seen the first fifteen or so episodes of IY so I have a bit more interest in watching it." Yeah, unfortunately I found out that Adult Swim has only scheduled to air the first 10 episodes till Nov. 2. I sure hope they've got more ready to air after that date.
Well all for now. It's been very hard to find time to post in here recently.

"Sloth> what 3-day weekend are you talking about? my weekend was less than 2 days! "
Sounds brutal man, hope that's not every week. However, at my abode there are 6 three-hour classes a week, and none of those are on Friday. I am pleased with this arrangement.
D&M> I don't know about the spell being undone (except I don't think it should happen), but I'm quite certain that if Macbeth had dropped Demona on that spike, they would have both instantly died as the Weird Sissies pretty much spell it out that once one destroys the other, "only then will both finally perish, together).
Also, I believe Greg himself has said that there was more to the Sisters part in Avalon and CoS, then following the Archmage out of fear and revenge. But that's all I've seen him reveal (in less words then that). For good or ill, I must believe that the Sisters had/have more in store for "their children".
Last Week topics:
Mark> "Hello all! Remember me? Well incase you forgot, in May I was trying to organize a petition to bring Gargoyles back on the air. I was planning to post it in time for The Gathering but the plan for the petition fell through."
Although you may have gotten one bad critic back then, and on your return you are asked to put a log in your eye (big exaggeration I know, I'm just kidding), I trust you will also remember all the support you got in getting your petition to it's feet (or knees at any rate), a fare few people giving good suggestions on editing the letter to something Disney would give more credence to. I'm just saying that it may have needed a lot of work, but it's not your average fan that gets motivated to do the work you seemed to be putting into it. So I just hope u haven't given up all together (or are you planning to wait until the next Gathering/DVD release)?
Jim R.> "Been extremely busy writing code...lots and lots of code. And I have one thing to say: I hate MFC. Not that most in here care or know what I'm talking about..."
MFC? Hmm, when I saw that my immediate inkling was: My F%ing Computer. But Bud-Clare's comment made it sound more like a school or a class that you've both been to; plus it's rare that you would disrespect the almighty Mac, so I'm not certain.
But you are at College/University now, correct? I ask merely because isn't that what you were waiting for before you converted your new music video so that it could be downloaded by your adoring fans? Or is there some other excuse now?
Speaking of music vids, do ye fancy adding this one to yer list? Enya's Sail Away via the Avalon World Tour?
Jimmy "Well, I'm going to Chicago today to start college so my posting rate here is going to go the way of the giant sloth"
Hey, join the club. Well, I guess I was posting like a Sloth before hand but ya know what I mean. And you can still get your station 8 fix if you set your priorities. Remember, Gargoyles come first. School, family, friends, they're all obstacles in the way of getting more Gargoyles.
Airwalker> Sorry, it's a tad unfair to revive a topic from LAST, last week, but......ok I have no defense, I'm just doing it anyway. So there.
"The GARGOYLES Universe as a whole isn't really designed to take spontaneous singing on a LION KING/DISNEY level very well."
Well, it doesn't necessarily need to be a typical Disney song. Realistically, if Gargoyles did decide to try it (as a canon story), it would purposely be as different as it could be. If they gave a good semi-story arc to the subject, and one of the main character couples decided to write a song for each other (whose to say Goliath couldn't write a good song (cause I know he could sing it)) and spent a good while doing so, it just might work; like the sort of stuff that happens in real life (or so I've heard). And if not that, there's always using an existing song (some Led Zeppelin?), or having a voice over sing rather than a character, or even some chanting in Latin (ala Phantom Menace). Or maybe I'm just too obsessed over the novelty of this option, but I'm sure everyone would agree that it would be worthwhile to see no matter how well it was done.
"Still I hope that I'm not too repetative most of the time. :-) I try not to be repetative. I just don't like to be repetative. Its like so repetative. :-) :-) :-)"
Yur a funny man, man. You are a man right? I can't think of evidence to put you one way or another, just my intuition.
Can't say much on all this Anime talk, as I am woefully naive on the subject. I have met up with a group of nerds though (heck, 85% of the guys in this college are nerds) who have promised to verse me well in it. Apart from that, I've finally seen 3X3 Eyes, which seems quite cool in a lot of places, but unfortunately it's not the dub Greg directed, which was the main reason I sought it out (as well anything else with Keith David in it). Other than that, I'm sure I've mentioned many times how I adore Princess Mononoke, as well as Final Fantasy to a slightly lesser degree (and not JUST because of Keith's involvement either).
<looks up> I've done pretty well this time it seems. Right on.

Airwalker> "What I wonder is can a spell wear out? Is a magical spell infinite or does it have a specific time limit to it after which point it begins to expire sort of like a carton of milk or a bottle of asprin?"
Yeah, after awhile it gets all chunky and starts to smell nasty. (This is what happens when I post well after the point at which I should have gone to bed. :P)
"a thousand years of being immortal makes you think and act differently than any mortal; I don't think you can go back to that after having been immortal."
Yeah, they'd be hit by a truck and killed inside of five minutes.
"the only reason that they bothered with them in the first place was because it was part of what the Archmage asked them to do"
Actually, _technically_, they did it because it was fated to happen, although it was fated to happen because they did it, so it's kind of headache-inducing (at least when you're as tired as I am). Which, really, is only different from the usual situation in that the Weird Sisters probably actually _knew_ that it was fated to happen (if only because they were going to do it), whereas the rest of us just blunder around clueless. ;)
(Again, the lack of sleep. Don't mind me.)

I really liked the English dub of Eva. I was particularly fond of Gendo's voice. He was the perfect heartless bastard. My only guess is that you saw it in Japanese first and had gotten used to that, but you're really the first person I've ever heard complain about that dub. I know one person who described it as, except for Cowboy Bebop, the best dub ever (and he calls himself The Entry Plug, so you know he's a fan).
Weird Sisters: I always thought it was sort of like Helsinki Syndrome (or is it Stockholm Syndrome- I've never been clear on that). Whatever it's called, I'm referring to the condition in which kidnappers and hostages come to identify with each other and sympathize with the others goals. Now, obviously Macbeth and Demona never really knew how much they'd been used, but the Weird Sisters did know. It seems to me that they started out simply as tools, but spending so much time watching over them, the Sisters started to feel a personal connection. They were still unafraid to use them for their own goals, but I think that after taking care of them all that time (they probably also had to step in every time the two met, or at least keep a close eye on them), they eventually started to care for them. I think we do have to read something into "they are our children." I don't think it's possible for them to spend all of that time watching over the two without feeling some sort of bond.

MATT - You wrote: [afterall in "City of Stone" the Sisters said, "...they (MacBeth and Demona) are our children..."]
They did say that and in a way it is the truth. Demona and Macbeth are sort of the children of the Sisters in that they are alive because of them and have had their lives molded in part due to the actions of the Sisters.
You wrote: [sounds like they mean more to the Sisters than just "cannon fodder" for the Archmage...]
Lets not read too much into what the Sisters say; they are Fey at the end of everything and they aren't exactly benevolent Fey at that. They speak in half truths and with constant agendas in mind - their claim at the end of CITY OF STONE has truth in it but who knows what they really think. I don't think that they have much concern for either Macbeth or Demona certainly not as much as they were pretending to have at the end of that episode.
Its possible that the Sisters might have other plans for Demona and Macbeth besides Archmage Cannon Fodder but that doesn't mean that much will come from any of those plans. It wasn't easy to get those two under their control the first time and there is no guarantee they could do it again. Not only that but the Sisters don't have the same freedom of movement that they used to have before THE GATHERING 1-2. Even with an idea they'd still have to get off Avalon to get it into motion.
(The whole Gathering idea is a good one in a way - it brings the show back into the real world element while explaining away any major magical absence and lets it be carefully regulated at the same time; instead of the series having to wonder what the Sisters are doing all the time they know outright - the three are on Avalon and can't do much without a major excuse which isn't easy to come up with.)
AARON - You wrote: [I don't actually remember Kenshin ever swearing in the fansubs.]
It depended on the fansubs you saw. The SHINSEN GUMI version tended to throw a lot of cursing into the subs especially when Kenshin turned over into the Batossai. They weren't as accurate as the HECTO version. The HECTO version of the subs was much more careful about this and didn't use the profanity as much. I've seen both versions of some of the episodes and there is a major difference in how they read and how the scenes come out as a result.
(In general given that English doesn't have the entire polite/gruff difference that Kenshin was using I think it would have been a better idea to go with using cursing which is basically the closest English substitute rather than turning Kenshin into a Hick most of the time. It might be more accurate in the official version since Kenshin doesn't curse, just shifts speech patterns, but it would have flowed better.)
You wrote: [And would I need a region free DVD player to watch them?]
HK DVDs are region free; they should work in any DVD player or DVD rom around. If you do go looking for the Kenshin HK version then look for the one put out by MI. (Most stores label the HK company they come from - MI which is Manga International and which has no relation to the domestic Manga Entertainment has a Kenshin version out that uses the SHINSENGUMI fansubs for the subtitles.)
Be warned in advance - HK DVDs are never as perfect as domestic DVD. Even the best of them usually have spelling mistakes in the subs and an occasional mistimed sub. Its usually a better idea to get the domestic product which tends to have better video and audio quality even if we aren't always happy with the subtitles they'll use.
(I usually only pick up the HK version when the domestic release isn't available like with the MACROSS: DYRL movie. Since I already have the fansub tapes of most of the series I'll just pick up the domestic Kenshin release over the HK version. I've seen the series enough times that I can leave the subtitles off if they really get on my nerves.)
You wrote: [You wouldn't have a link, would you?]
I have a link; but I've never used this store so I can't say how good it is. I've heard some good things about it on the HK DVD Discussion Board. But since I'm in NYC I tend to head over to China Town for any HK DVD needs. (Of course the down side is that it is more expensive in ChinaTown; but still the speed with which I can get the discs makes up for the price difference.)
If you don't want to use this store then check Ebay. They usually have tons of HK Kenshin discs. (You can use the link I'm giving you to see the HK DVD covers for the MI version and then have an easier time searching through Ebay for that version if you still want to go through all the trouble.
Or you can just wait till the Gathering and then head over to ChinaTown and pick them up yourself. I know a few places that have the discs together with tons of other stuff.)

Shirt #6:
Back to basic black. This one has the garg logo (moon, "Garg", closed mouthed crouching Goliath) small over the left breast in front.
In back is a new image: Goliath in silhouette on a building outcropping in front of a full yellow moon. Mouth open, teeth visible, claws out. There's a dark blue sky under the moon and the silhouettes of multiple skyscrapers (the only truly identifiable one being the Citicorp building).
This, I believe was one of the two shirts that I bought at Suncoast video. One of the only two shirts I ever saw for sale. The merchandise, I think came out too soon. No one knew what the show was, and the stores thought it wasn't (or wouldn't) sell. So again, I think the shirt is something of a collector's item.

Oh Lord, I don't believe it! I understood why they had to put that stupid line in the dub but they put it in the subs too? I think I would have prefered them going the fansub route and throwing in profanity to help differentiate the two Kenshin personalities. That wouldn't be the most accurate translation but it would probably flow better. Now I have to get a disc or two of the official DVDs and see what they did. (If they ruined the Saito/Kenshin battle around volume 6 I'll scream; I wasn't a huge fan of the series but that was one of the more interesting and dramatic anime battle scenes I've seen.)
I'll probably still end up picking up the official release of the series; I was planning to anyway but haven't gotten to it since its a long release and isn't high on my list of Anime DVD priorities. (I had the fansubs from before the series was picked up but still want better video quality so getting the DVD release was never really a question of if but of when.) But if the subs on the official release are really that bad you can always get the HK DVD release which uses the fansub script to subtitle the series.
TODD - You wrote: [I don't know how many people here have seen Ken Burns' documentary film on the Civil War]
I've seen it before but I've been watching through some of it again; I was a big Civil War buff in Junior High School and I still have an interest in the history of the Conflict.

I remember that little bit of history. Funny and ironic as hell. I can see how you can draw a parallel between him and the NYC Yuppies but on the other hand Wilmer McLain predicament can be either very very good luck or very very bad luck. Its not like he actually went wandering around looking for his home to turn into battlefields and historical sites; if Margot Yale really existed she'd have probably ended up wandering around at least 10 major battles, complaining about the transportation and almost get killed most of the time while Vinnie would purposefully go to every battle only to have a cannon ball land near him and give him constant Team Rocket Moments ("I'm blasting off again, can you believe it?!" :-) ).
You wrote: [It does make the gargoyles' habit of constantly running into the yuppie couple, Vinnie, et al over and over again appear a bit more plausible, after that.]
True. Sort of. But at least in the real Civil War case Wilmer McLain probably mentioned outright to the two generals the circumstances under which he found himself; Goliath probably will never figure out exactly who Vinnie is or exactly how he happens to run into him all the time. :-)
JURGAN - You wrote: [I had no idea ADV had such a reputation. Personally, I liked the way Kenshin talked, that I did.]
ADV has improved in the last few years but its old reputation still haunts it; and as for Kenshin in the dub we were talking about the Media Blasters Dub/Sub. ADV only had the rights to the Kenshin OVAs and movie which they released under the title SAMURAI X. Media Blasters released the TV series under the original title RUROUNI KENSHIN. Both versions have different dub casts; the ADV OVA dub is horrible and unwatchable. I haven't seen the MB dub but its gotten mixed reviews. I can't really comment much on the dub on the MB TV version until I actually see it.
You wrote: [One thing I know, though, is that ADV did the Neon Genesis Evangelion dub, which most people consider to be extremely good.]
EVA is yet another series that I have to see but haven't had the time or money to pick up yet. I will get to it someday though. (Although again I keep getting mixed reviews on it - I have a few friends who can't stand it and have dismissed it as overrated confused crap. I'll judge it once I see it. And believe me I WILL judge it. :-) )

That's pretty much where I stand on the subject. Without the spell Demona can't keep Macbeth's youth but if the Immortality is taken out of the equation but the spell is left intact, then the original purpose of the spell - for youth transference - should still be in place.
You wrote: [it depends on if the Sisters (or whoever) was removing the immortality]
I'm not sure that they would bother to get involved with Demona and Macbeth anymore; the only reason that they bothered with them in the first place was because it was part of what the Archmage asked them to do - otherwise the Sisters shouldn't have that much interest in the two of them.
So the odds are that the youth transference spell is permanent but the loophole/fine print immortality can only last so long as the provisions to end it aren't met. If Demona and Macbeth don't kill each other then they have to be immortal forever; but if they do kill each other then the loophole should have been fufilled and the immortality annulled. At that point without the loophole the spell stays what it is - a youth transference spell rather than an immortality spell.
You wrote: [besides all of this is pretty moot cuz i seriously doubt that Greg would allow the spell to be removed]
I agree; but I also wonder - is the loss of immortality still a part of the G2198 universe? After all that spinoff is significantly different from the original FUTURE TENSE/G2158 spinoff he had in mind when he mentioned the loss of immortality for the two characters. It would be an interesting twist and would allow for the characters to finally move on completely but at the same time is it really possible for someone who has been immortal for a thousand years to really be able to function as a mortal or even really want to be one? Especially when that person is a warrior? Wouldn't they eventually just try to find some other way to become immortal? (I'm focusing more on Demona than Macbeth in this case since Macbeth has stated that he isn't really interested in immortality and I don't think he would cry much over its loss; Demona on the other hand strikes me as someone who would have a harder time dealing with suddenly not being immortal after having so much time in that state.)

Shirt #5
[O.K., you guys knew that by 'consecutive days' I meant 'consecutive weekdays'. It seemed pointless to wear the shirts on the weekend and not be able to report back to you.]
Anyhow, today's shirt is NOT black. That's right, it's grey. Much like the shirts given away at G2002 this year thanks to the constaff and ToonDisney. A grey shirt with the garg logo. (Full moon rising over the word gargoyle in yellow, with Goliath crouching on the letters.) Again, this is the closed-mouth version of the logo.

Sloth> what 3-day weekend are you talking about? my weekend was less than 2 days!
Demona/Macbeth immortality> Todd suggested that they'd die immediatly if the spell was removed and Airwalker said that perhaps they'd return to their original ages if the spell was removed, but i tend to think that if their IMMORTALITY was taken away they'd remain the same biological ages they are, but if the SPELL was entirely removed than they might revert to their age when the spell was originally cast. it depends on if the Sisters (or whoever) was removing the immortality or was removing the spell cuz as Airwalker pointed out, the spel was more than just to give the pair immortality.
besides all of this is pretty moot cuz i seriously doubt that Greg would allow the spell to be removed, thats WAY too easy, and besides it doesn't go along with the Gargoyles focus on consequences of actions. if the spell was just removed i can't see a very good storyline behind it and (however it turns out) Demona and Macbeth's death would be an interesting event, i guarantee it!
thats all for now! keep it real kids!
