Mr. Echo - Mar. 23, 2009










1. Jessica Alba: What do you mean "Dark Angel" has been canceled? It's still on Mr. Echo's TV ..... and always will be. Jessica Alba tops any list. No debating allowed.
LOST More Than Ever!
What in the name of Claire is going on here? The Losties have traveled back to the island - but in 1977?? And Sawyer has turned into a nice guy? If your mind wasn't blown over the last four or so years, it's blown now. Without a doubt.


Now, moving ahead. The Dharma-Losties know the purge is coming -- so they've got to get out of there soon. We are putting our money on Daniel to get them reunited with Sun, Locke and Ben -- maybe through the wheel or some other time-travel method. Once they meet up is when the "war" happens.
If you've got some good ideas, throw them on the forum (again, right HERE) and share with the world. We need all the help we can get with this dang show.
Movie Flashback
Leroy Green!!
Sho’Nuf!!
Laura Charles!!
Can you feel the awesome-ness flowing?
Oh yeah, baby! It’s The Last Dragon!
If you’ve been lucky enough to surf the movie channels recently, you’ve probably caught at least one viewing of perhaps the greatest “campy” martial arts flicks of all time. Or if you are like Mr. Echo, it is a mainstay on the DVR -- achieving the coveted NEVER ERASE status.
Word on the street is that there is a remake in the plans, with Sam Jackson taking over the role of Sho’Nuf made famous by the incredible Julius Carry III. They better not screw this up! (Then again, we can just pretend the remake never happened -- its worked wonders in the past)!
The original was a masterpiece of campy greatness, with Mr. Carry’s Sho’Nuf - the Shogun of Harlem and the perfect Leroy Green, played by Tamiak. (By the way, how did Tamiak not go on to other big-time martial arts films? This guy was greatness. He was the only decent actor in a film full of horrible acting -- yet he’s stuck doing “90210” and “Third Watch” episodes. What a true shame.)
Carry was all over the TV screen before his death last year. The man who got his start first in “Disco Godfather,” then “The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh” and “White Shadow” was awesome in “Dragon” .... taking the Sho’Nuf role to places no other actor could have touched. Sammy Jax will have a hard time carrying that role.
Of course, we can’t forget the “star” of the movie, the wonderful Vanity. The one-time Prince protege is now an evangelist, which makes sense since she was also once engaged to rocker Nikki Sixx.
Produced by Motown mogul Berry Gordy, “Dragon” will be 25 years old next year -- which I guess makes it ripe for a remake. But in searching for the “Glow,” we gotta hope they don’t forget the magic that made “The Last Dragon” a cult hit. It’s called bad acting and a silly, silly plot -- and done right, it works to perfection.
WHO’S THE MASTER? SHO’NUF! OF COURSE!
check out the video at the bottom of the blog -- you’ll get those chills all over again!
Video of the Week
Who’s the Master? In the final fight scene of “The Last Dragon,” we find out not every glow is created equal! And, in fact, there is only ONE MASTER!
The Hot List
With March right around the corner, we thought it was time to do some serious investigating for this week's Hot List. Spring is when hearts turn to fancy, so we might as well let the ’ole heart take control! Here are the hottest 10 women on television today (and remember, this is Mr. Echo's list; your list just doesn't matter).
