I could dig Starbuck in a Captain Marvel movie. I'd take Katee Sackhoff as the Captain any day of the week.
DISAGREE!
Okay? Not a fan I'm guessing. That's okay. Who's your choice?
Not a fan. She occupies the same space as Kate Mara. Insufferable to watch in everything.
If I had to choose my perfect Carol Danvers it'd be Kerry Russell, who's probably too old now.
I feel for Kerry Russel the same way you feel for Katee Sackoff.
Huh. I like Kerry Russel. She was great in planet of the apes but she never would have occurred to me for Captain Marvel she too...pretty. I mean, delicate looking. I don't see her convincingly punching Super Skrull in the face. If your complaint about Sackhoff (and I don't know that I have this quite right) is that she just looks like a bitch then, yeah I see that and it's exactly why I want her for Carol Danvers. If you just think she's a terrible actress (and i think that is more where your coming from) them I have to just shrug and disagree. It is a little like Linda Hamilton. I almost can't stand her but I don't want anybody else to be Sarah Conner. Kate Mara I couldn't pick out of a lineup if my soul depended on it. My second choice for Captain marvel would be Zap from American Gladiators circa 1988.

It's definitely the quality of her performance that bothers me. Her definition of acting seems to be to act contrary to every one around her. There's no depth. Maybe it's the roles, but I find her an irritating presence. As for the physicality of Russell, I agree. But that's something that can be worked on. And if you've ever seen "The Americans" you know she can be a brutal and efficient ass kicker.

I think, as far as Battlestar Galactica goes, that contrarian element was in the script. You're right about the physicality being workable. We see lots of male actors get super fit for heroic roles. And Russell can certain act. (That Zap thing was a joke by the way...mostly). I'm trying to think of an actress I could see going through basic training. Like Demi Moore in GI Jane but more convincing.
Sorry @random73 I could never get through the first minute and a half or so to watch that video beyond the first time... the interludes further gave me a bad taste. Too much angst and drama for my liking...
I didn't even notice, because my daughter has been watching cartoons all day. And let's face it, most of the Saturday morning fare was complete crap. Even as a little kid I knew that. I don’t want to even think about how many hours of terrible cartoons I sat through while waiting for the three or four good ones to come on. Once they started editing the Looney Tunes shorts, Saturday mornings were pretty much over for me anyway.
Now excuse me while I get back to my bowl of Frosted Flakes. Adventure Time is about to start.
We don't have cable and I haven't actually read the article, but I'm a fan of PBS and they've got some great shows for kids. Curious George, Peg + Cat, Wild Kratts, and Dinosaur Train among others that play Sunday through Saturday every week. It's a staple in the morning at our house. Sure it's not what I had growing up, but few things are anymore anyway.
Netflix and Amazon Prime have a bunch of 80s and 90s cartoons. My kids are getting a kick out of watching them and its fun introducing them to what I watched as a kid.

Two words: Word Girl!
I'm always amazed at how far Word Girl pushes its tongue in cheekiness.

Exactly. I have shared some Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, and Pink Panther with my kids and they love them all. And those were all before my time . They're also big fans of Animaniacs, Duck Tales, and Tail Spin. I guess though, none of these have been on over the air television as it was when I was growing up.

It's all as easy to see as taking candy from a baby falling off a bump on a log (to quote TaleSpin’s Don Carnage).
I cut my thumb on some lawn staples as I was putting down ground cloth yesterday. 2 things I've learned. Lawn staples are sharp so be careful if you use them. Gloves are sometimes a good idea.
Comments
Excuse me that was 1989.
If she was Captain Marvel, I'd be forced to give it a try. I'd likely be more open to Starbuck in the role.
But even Groundhog War would have been a better title.
How about "All You Need Is Kill"? Which was what the original story was called when it debuted as a manga title.
Unfortunately the movie's distributor has further diluted the marketing efforts by seemingly retitling the bluray and dvd cover art live. die. repeat.
huh?
