It just me or OAV Condor looks (a little) with Jon??

Ah yes... This is a particular favorite of mine and the person who did it actually did it for a gatch fan on this board - and for the life of me I can't remember who!!!

Ah, yes! I love that vid!! And Joe looks so hot in it.... (I'm probably one of the few who actually likes the look of OAV Joe. Ok, I can do without the smoking, etc., but he is definitely a hottie!)

I remember seeing Jon Bon Jovi on TV about a year or so ago, and I was amazed that he looked the same as he had twenty years ago (better, in fact, without the 80s metal hair) -the guy just has not aged! He must be a vampire or something -him and David Bowie.

I love that song.

Nope... Plastic surgery... But he definitely got the looks in that family. I saw a pic of his youngest brother a few years ago, when his club opened... I never would have recognized him if his name wasn't listed under the pic! Those Italian genes came straight down in his DNA!

That must be the Condor/Bon Jovi secret hot connection -- they are both Sicilian. Which means they are probably related (Sicily is a small place and everyone is a "cousin"). Love that RS cover shot though -- especially the bare shoulder. So sweet and . . . bitable.

I love that Wanted: Dead or Alive video! There are definitely some drooly OAV Joe scenes (Shower, anyone? ) but to me, his eyes and mouth are too small.

No wonder I had such a crush on him as a teenager... The type of amine that they used for OVA's isn't the type I like...too wooden, and lacking for me.

Ahh yes.. the Condor and JBJ... theres too looking guys (yes even best in the OAV) as I mentioned in the Condor vrs Eagle thread.

I think I am liking the *idea* of OAV Joe more then the execution. Does that make sense? I am also liking the idea of an OAV Jon Bon Jovi in which he lives at my house.

I know I like the OAV Joe, but I'm not certain I understand your comment gogirl.

Let me try to flesh that thought out -- from a visual point of view (the actual drawings) I agree, that they are flat and some of the features seem "off". But if I think of the art from a more macro perspective - maybe as if it were the roughs not the final - then I like the visual direction it is going in. I like the edginess and modernization of the character to the updated time frame (ie - ditched the bell bottoms, added an earing, etc.). I like the gritty feel of him - but if I look too closely I see too many flaws. I feel similarly to the characterization, but that could just be a result of the fact that the OAV is so much shorter compared to any of the series. I think if the OAV characterization was able to be more fully realized over a longer set of episodes, then I like the dark, brooding loner that is evolving. But I need to see other dimensions in there to truly love that character as much as I love the versions from the series(s) -- and I think that is just not possible in such a short flick. He can't be *just* dark, brooding loner - I need more. And right now my imagination fills that in from what I think of as "Joe", it is not something I find resident in the OAV.

IKWYM, he has that sex appeal about him... They just didn't have the time to develop the characters. To much crammed into a short time frame.

Seems I may have been a little short in my proclamation of liking OAV Joe. To be honest, the best way for me to explain it is to say "Yeah, what GoGirl said!" The idea of OAV Joe appealed to me, but I too thought the actual execution was too one-dimensional/flat. I also wasn't into the character personality or how much of a "bad boy" they made him into. Joe may have been the "moody" one, but he never gave into bad habits (like smoking. That one still gets me... I mean, consummate athlete and the guy is smoking?? He'd be hacking up a lung if he had to chase down Galactor!) My evaluation doesn't hold much salt anyway, since I've only seen the first ep - and I watched that on YouTube. So I think I will gracefully bow out of this convo before I really start talking about things I don't know anything about!

Hino, I wish I had your sensibility. I talk about things all the time that I don't know anything about - it always gets me in trouble! And ou are so right about the smoking! Just doesn't work for a ninja, no matter how much a bad boy he is! You probably know this, but you can download to itunes the first EP in the OAV for free: click me Might be easier to watch that way if you wanted to take a second look.

No need to take a second look... everything worthwhile watching is right here...

Ah, beautiful. Sigh. Now, if we could erase the tattoo and turn him, oh, say at least 45 degrees towards the viewer (keeping his hair over his face), utter perfection.

ITA, lb! Now if only we knew some fiercely talented artists who could draw something like that . . . (is this where I should get out a ? or is only TJ allowed to do that?)

Oh no... EVERYONE can use the pokey stick. You just have to find youw own (which you seem to have done rather well, GoGirl!) so I always have mine handy. The reason for the pokey stick is to encourage more creativity. The more people poking, the more creativity we have! And I am DEFINITELY interested in Joe-in-the-shower creativity....

Just watch who you poke that thing at though Gogirl. You do not want to aim it at me for drawing as I have problems even making stick figures.

I hear you Cloud -- stick figures would be advanced drawing for me! But I think I have noticed some great artists roaming around here so no one needs to flick that stick in our direction in search of steamy Condor shower scenes.

Hey TJ, the three of us could create our own stick figure drawing club.

No it means we can sit around and admire everyone else great artistic talent. Which is what we do anyways, I guess.

I did one ages ago, but it's not that great.

Thank you for turning on the light bulb in my brain... Sometimes it goes really dim.

I hardly think you could ever be dim, but I'm happy to light up your life in whatever way possible.

Thanks for the link! I've seen the Harmony Gold dl before, but have yet to do it. No iTunes for me though! I don't have an iPOD (I can hear everyone's gasps of horror!)

Don't worry Hino, I don't have an Ipod either. And to show I am even further in the Dark ages, I do not have a cell phone either.

Hey, CD, we must have done something wrong! Why did we have to commandeer the GodPhoenix, fly halfway around the world, pick up Ebony, and find TJ on a ship in the middle of the ocean to for us to gain control of her multiple pokey sticks, and now she's just giving one of her spare pokey's to GoGirl?? I think we were hoodwinked! Of course she still has how many on her person????

Originally posted by clouddancer Hey TJ, the three of us could create our own stick figure drawing club.

Uh, make that four... And TJ could lead us, since she has previously drawn said stick figures!

Confession from me.... The only reason why I have a cell phone is because my parents got mad that I didn't.... So they took out a "family plan", put me on it with them, and sent me a phone. Shoulda seen my face the day that came in the mail! "Uh, mom, dad.... Did you send me a cell phone???"

All I can say is /I/ managed to get a yo-yo out of that trip. the other thing....TJ says she now has something that works better, so perhaps she is giving away her pokey sticks and will start using her "something better."

My brother (my *younger* brother) gave me an ipod nano for Christmas and I have to admit, I really like it. Never thought I would. But, you don't need an ipod to use itunes - that you can just down load that onto your 'puter - its free. I *think* you can also download that OAV EP as a quicktime file.

I think if there is money involved, we should reconsider!! What am I bid for my stick figure drawing of Condor Joe in the shower??? (I will post it - if I can figure out how -- for the highest bidder. I will also accept counter bids for me not to post it.) (by the way, since it is a *stick* figure, is it a problem that I can't draw a straight line???)

I don't listen to music anywhere else. I have my notebook for fic writing when I'm waiting around somewhere...

Yes, there is a Quicktime file up there... The only problem I have right now is that my DVD drive isn't working (actually, my computer doesn't recognize it...), and I currently have over 2 gigs of dl's I need to burn. So I've stopped dl'ing all together until I can get the DVD situation resolved and can get these other files off my pc!!!

Being the innocent Eagle that I am, I'm soooo not going to write what I just thought!! But let's just say that the words "Condor Joe", "stick", and "shower" all in the same sentence made my mind wander to places it shouldn't...

So, I'm getting volunteered to lead the 'stick figure art club'? I think LB wins there... she's the one altering the OOTS art!!!

Hey, I posted my crappy "initial sketch" a while ago -I have no shame. I'd like to see your stick drawings! I have to admit that I actually have two cellphones. One that is mine (Sprint), and one that is technically on my sister's plan, that she insisted I take so that she could call me on it without using any of her minutes (she's Verizon, and Verizon-to-Verizon calls aren't counted). If it rings, I know it is my sister, because no one else knows the number. I almost never talk on a land line anymore. I don't have an ipod, but the BF has an ipod Shuffle (less capacity than a regular ipod) that I keep "borrowing" to take to the gym (I have it stocked with trance techno tracks, very good for motivating one to plug away on the elliptical). I could probably live without the cellphone(s) and the Shuffle, as modern devices go, but I'd die without the internet!

Sorry my mind has gone fuzzy....what do you mean by OOTS?

Originally posted by clouddancer ..what do you mean by OOTS?

OOTS = Order of the Stick. It's a webcomic about a group of stick figures who ware an adventuring party set in a fantasy universe (originally based on a dungeons and dragons idea).

Ahhh, yes ... now I remember. As I said i could not place where I remembered it from All those acronyms floating in my head ...

She's referring to these characters. (It's a hilarious strip, even if you've never played a role playing game!)

I have been intending at looking at it this summer, but so far I have not found the time. Maybe I can start next week

Once you start looking, you may not stop....

Wow I didn't know that Gogirl... may have to check into it..

Originally posted by Transmute Jun Once you start looking, you may not stop....

Very true! The first night I started it, I read about 100 strips in a row, and made the BF think I'd gone insane by periodically bursting into crazed laughter.
