Far off topic as we may have drifted, Houdini actually did start out as a first rate stage magician on the Vaudeville circuit. His act more or less evolved into the escape artist thing that became his trademark.

Plus, can you really blame the police for not wanting to admit that they couldn't solve the cases by themselves?

CSICOP has done extensive investigation into the claims that police departments have used psychics in their investigations. Psychics love to publicize the claim, but as far as I am aware, there isn't a single case in which the police have ultimately credited psychics with providing information that definitively led to a case being solved. Typically, psychics fail to provide any important information that hasn't already been made available to the public or that they could not have gathered from cold readings when discussing the case with investigating officers.

Most police stations are pretty well crammed with files on unsolved cases. If the aid of psychics was of any benefit, that most likely wouldn't be the case. Not to mention that if psychic powers could actually be demonstrated, we'd all be spared those dehumanizing searches every time we go to the airport.

Oh yes, those lovely airport searches, where you get to choose between your own amateur nude portfolio scan or a pat-down complete with a free breast cancer exam for the women or hernia exam for the men. Amtrak or Greyhound any one?

You do have a point about escape artists.  I would consider an escape artist to be more of a specialized magician, and in the end, many magicians incorporate some sort of escape trick into their routines.  In any case, the fact that Houdini consistently debunked and exposed those people who claimed to "call on the dead" is my main point.

To be back on topic, I'm a young girl teenager who feels like a child, and for the record, I had no intrest in, this year, Eclipse, any movies with bad reviews,  and stuff like that.
 
BTY: I saw the poster for this movie when I went to watch Tommorow, When The War Began, (To be honest, the movie was great, it stuck to it's orginal material, but it did get me a bit squeamish at times, like a man having his head shot off). As soon I saw the posters for Yogi, I thought "Razzie!"
YES, I'm a Cobra, and YES, I take a BITE outta movies!

It's nice to know there's at least one teenage girl out there with some good taste.

I'm also one of those people who trusts critics. But not just for movies, but video games, too.

Welcome to the club! Clap

After Yogi UN-Bear-ABLE, I'm hoping that The Green Hornet will be a substantial improvement! Wink

My concern about The Green Hornet is that they are burying its release at time when not a lot of really good movies get released. If it were much to brag about, it would probably be getting a summer release.

Ever since the TV series way, way back, have they ever done the Green Hornet justice?  Batman came along and stole all of Green Hornet's thunder.  The trick in doing anything, TV series, TV movie or cinema movie, with the Green Hornet is distinguishing him from Batman.  Once you've made that distinction, as long as he's cool, you can then proceed with a good story, which is the other trick, which Hollywood has sucked at big time lately. . . .

I saw the trailer and was not the least bit impressed by it. The whole time I was thinking "Wow, Seth Rogan isn't even trying any more. He's not acting, he's just being Seth Rogan as Seth Rogan in a Green Hornet outfit. When Kato, the sidekick, is outshining the hero, it's not a good thing.

The Green Hornet decidedly gets the short end of the stick. The 60's TV series was actually pretty good as a counterpoint to the campy but reasonably entertaining Batman series. But I've always found the Hornet to be a rather intriguing character among the comic book heros...a good guy who poses as a villain to fight crime. The Black Beauty was way cool too. Besides, the Hornet was the Lone Ranger's great-nephew...how can that not be cool?

Oh, you got that right about how William Dozier really treated The Green Hornet. Dozier put his main effort into Batman and The Hornet was just his stepchild. Trendle and Dozier were always in disagreement about how the series would go. And I still remember the time that Green Hornet guested on Batman and the producers declared any fight between Burt Ward and Bruce Lee to be a draw. What a joke...

I agree, but let's face it.  Pulling this off is really tricky and requires genuine talent, and Hollywood doesn't put that kind of talent into much of anything lately.  I feel The Green Hornet is going to suck and tank, and that feeling comes from seeing nothing more than those stupid Burger King commercials.

The episode in which the Hornet and Kato appeared on Batman was the only 4 part episode of the old series. Most of the rest were two parts with the first episode airing on Wednesday nights, ending in a cliff hanger with the Caped Crusaders always in peril as the result of some retarded death trap. The conclusion would then air on Thursday night. The formula was: First, Batman pulls some miraculous mode of escape out of his @ss (or rather, utility belt).  Then the episode would climax with a big fight scene and the villain dispatched to Gotham prison. That particular facility must have had the worst escape record in the history of the universe, since the arch villain would inevitably return to haunt Gotham a few weeks later. During the series' final season, many of the episodes were only one part, as they attempted to cram in a lot of guest villains in order to boost sagging ratings.
 
The Hornet episode did include a couple of fights between the crime fighters. Sadly, we didn't get to see Bruce Lee clean Burt Ward's clock.
