I'd like to take this opportunity to wish fellow toonzone member, DavidTheJoker, a Happy 21st Birthday! I hope this day brings many great gifts for you and overall the year ahead is a pleasant one. Best wishes.

Interesting thought. I think that the voice is something we all recognize, but don't always take time to look closer at. Everyone has a different tone and pitch, and more often than not we are self-conscious of what are vocal chords are (desiring a change, I hear from others so often I've lost...

Excellent idea and concept all around. I think (and have thought for years) that Nightwing is a great D.C. character and while very similar to Batman (given their origins, plus living/working with him), Good Ole' Dick Grayson is very much his own person and has his own "style" of getting things...

"Resurrection" was a good storyline that bordered on a 'gothic-horror' feel. Suspense and confusion prevailed alot in this episode. I also felt that the future 'ruthlessness' that is Lex Luthor as we know him (from the comics) was emerging more noticeably here. Once again, 'boy scout' Kent paid...

"Obsession" was another example of cinema-style that 'Smallville' does from time to time. This means that what unfolds is so much more like a movie, rather than a typical TV episode. 'Fatal Attraction' is the most obvious movie parallel that comes to mind (with Alicia's obsessive acts to win...

I hated the idea of Ben Affleck as Daredevil. Now, I realize opinions vary and me not caring much for him as an actor can be easily disputed. I just feel that he doesn't have the right presence to be a superhero. I loved the portrayal of Tobey Maguire as Spiderman/Peter Parker. I think he has...

>Jonathan Kent: "Sometimes you have to operate in the grey area. Life is not always black and white." >Pete Ross: "Clark, you've got more than enough on your plate to worry about than me." >Lex Luthor: "In order to help a friend in needs, sometimes you have to cross a moral line. This is the...

Good question, and all of you had excellent things to say. In many ways, it's easy to dub Joker as "insane." Certainly his thrilled-attitude in seeking to harm innocent people is an example of support in that theory. He trivializes crime/violence and rationalizes his brutal pursuit of chaos...

"Hereafter" was a masterpiece of an episode, and the events from beginning to end made this week's 'Smaville' something to remember. The main character in this storyling was the troubled Jordan (played with a genuine sensitivity and brilliant strength by Joseph Cross) and his power of visions...

"Delete" was an interesting episode that slightly deviated from the typical "Smallville" formula. I found that the plot was highly suspenseful and crime-laced (much like an old Hitchcock film). Both Lana and Chloe were the center of the action. Sincer her accident and recovery, Lana has...

Good question, and as a Batman (and comic) fan in general, this is a great one to ponder. These two characters (Batman/Joker) have a unique bond basically because of the obvious dualism present (Good/Evil and two sides of the same coin). It's clear that both characters drive the other forward...

"Whisper" was an enjoyable episode, but nowhere near as good as "Asylum". Last week's jolts of surprise in plot were somewhat evaporated this time around, as Lex took back stage and Clark took center stage. After inadvertently getting caught in the crossfire of a robbery, Clark ends up temporary...

To say "Asylum" was a powerhouse performance of "Smallville" (and Entertainment in general) would be a gross understatement, for this episode truly exceeded all high expectations and took the series to a whole new level of excitement and drama. Words can barely describe how emotionally affecting...

I think as long as the content being discussed (and therefore posted) is tasteful and positive for the young viewers, I don't see why parents would have a problem. Being able to post is good in many ways for a kid, because (#1) it teaches them better writing/communication skills (#2) it allows...

Basically because I have (#1) a friendly personality (#2) a positive and caring attitude (#3) I'm a good listener who enjoys hearing stories and likes to learn more about the world and people in general (#4) I am understanding and tolerant, though this kind of behavior can get us 'good guys' in...

In my opinion, "Clerks" is the best thing Kevin Smith has done. Even though it was low-budget (which makes no diference to me as a movie-viewer, in fact I think it's kind of unique), the performances were outstanding. I could not help but laugh as the doomed and pathetic Dante was going through...

"Awaken The Serpent" is a perfect example of what a great cartoon show should be all about: the eternal battle of good (He-Man and the Elders) versus evil (King Hiss and Servos), excellent special effects, good dialogue, 'humanistic' storyline, credible characterization, and dramatic suspense...

Very clever and creative idea for a post. And (as a longtime comicbook fan) I can tell you that your attitudes in this regard are very easy to understand and relate to. I think all of us (readers I mean) look on these characters .... whether hero or villain .... with a certain level of awe. In...

Unfortunately, my VHS collection far outweighs my DVDs. Nevertheless, I noticed that VHS tapes stay around in good shape for years, as long as they are treated with care (remain inside the box, and not rewind outrageously). I think it depends on what time of VHS it is (meaning what year the film...

When he was discharged, he noticed it was dark outside.

"History" was loads of fun to watch, from beginning to end. While this viewer misses the appearance of Skeletor and watching He-Man fend off his fiendish schemes, the Snakemen (and King Hiss in particular) does grow on you. It's clear that King Hiss and He-Man are total opposites (one is evil...

"Rattle of the Snake" was a satisfying follow-up to the awesome "Web of Evil". The super-powered (and enhanced) Snakemen are now a much more dominant force to be reckoned with. Brothers Man-at-Arms and Fisto have managed to set aside some of their differences (for the sake of fighting off the...

I became a fan of comic books (and comic characters) in my early teens. DC characters were what I was exposed to first, primarily Batman. I discovered him through the help of a cousin, who had amassed a massive collection of old and new comics (at the time). I thought the whole storyline was an...

My presents: -Sony Digital Camcorder -$50 Gift certificate to Barnes and Noble Bookstores -The Matrix - DVD -The Misfits - DVD (last movie with Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe) -clothes -cash to spend Overall, I was pleased.

For as long as I can remember, I have always had a serious passion for writing. Just the art of using imagination to create characters and tell stories that are reflective of life itself (both to what is happening and what could happen) is a great deal of fun. I hope to publish either novels or...

I reside in Massachusetts. I have been living here since winter of 2000. I originally came from New Jersey. Awesome to see fans here from all different walks of life.

High-tension drama, exciting scenes of action, a somber plot of "sibling rivalry". All of these elements, plus much more, made up the He-Man episode called "Web of Evil." At the control of all this chaos was the vicious Webstor. Invading the territory of Buzz-Off and his companions, Webstor gets...

"Holiday Knights" was a fun-filled "Batman" episode rich with moments of tension and excitement. The team-up of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy was a clever and effective combination. Poor Bruce Wayne was helpless at their mercy, but in the end he managed to escape their clutches and endure. The...

"Comfort and Joy" succeeded well as a JL Christmas episode. All the right elements were there for the story: good triumphing over evil, generous gestures, feelings of goodwill, efforts for a higher purpose to all. The storyline was very simple, but then again there wasn't a need for extreme...

"The Power of Grayskull" was an amazing episode that explained much of the past, therefore establishing clarity for the present. We (as viewers) all knew how powerful Prince Adam became when he transformed into He-Man. However, I must admit I never thought there would be a "King Grayskull" in...

Being a longtime Batman fan, it's diffucult for me to choose a particular favorite that would make great animated-movie appeal. In my opinion, Batman has a great handful of villains that is unmatched in many ways (though Spiderman has a good bunch too). Riddler would be a good choice (mainly...

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, "Wild Cards" was an instant JL classic. It had all the right elements for success: a good plot (all JL members having to stand against evil), good villains (The Joker and Royal Flush Gang), and a good ending (the kiss between Hawkgirl and Green Lantern). I was...

"Second Skin" could easily be referred to as "He-Man vs. King Hiss, Part 2". The Snakemen returned with a powerful vengeance. Hiss was determined to defeat Eternia once and for all, and using the mighty 'serpents' ring' was a way to do such that. This episode was highly impressive, mainly...

Grief. Danger. Action. Drama. These genres and many more filled up what will no doubt be remembered as a classic episode of Justice League, "Hereafter". This plot dealt with the death of Superman, which is not unfamiliar to avid comic readers who will recall the very same event in 1993 by the...

"Of Machines and Men" was an interesting episode because the typical characters (He-Man and Skeletor) were not the leads, but instead were replaced by other supporting members (Randor and Marlena). From the moment the power blackout took over Eternia, I was hooked. It seemed like a force of evil...

I found this to be an enjoyable episode because all of the notorious villains were united against destroying the Justice League. Gorilla Grodd (who had some great lines by the way) was the personfication of pure evil with not a trace of remorse/conscience. It was great seeing Parasite again and...

"The Price Of Deceit" was an exciting and powerful episode. After seeing how the Snakemen nearly took over Eternia, I knew that Evil-Lynn would suffer for betraying Skeletor to help King Hiss. It was an interesting scene where Skeletor nearly ended Evil Lynn's life. There was pure hatred and...

5++ Stars!! Words cannot adaquetly describe how affective this episode was (to me). I would say this is one of the best "Smallville" shows I have seen in a long time (certainly in the high list of my favorites). I already knew this show was dark in theme and content, but this completely shocked...

My own personal "collection" is kind of unique in its own right, because it's so random and atypical. But here it is anyway: 1] Jack Nicholson Movies (just about all on VHS but a few on DVD) 2] Meryl Streep Movies (just about all on VHS but a few on DVD) 3] Stanley Kubrick Movies (all on...

Tough choice to make because I would want to see at least one for each character. Nevertheless, I think either Hawkgirl or Green Lantern would be my choice. I feel this way just because there hasn't been too much attention on them, where as the other characters (especially Superman and Batman)...
