Thanks for that one!    Posted:   Jan 22, 2008 - 1:23 PM     By:   MikeJ   (Member) I seem to recall that Mickey was portrayed as a pretty scary loose cannon in his first few appearances but seemed to be written differently after that.    Posted:   Jan 23, 2008 - 4:27 PM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member) Spot-on sentiment, Mike, and there's a right royal reason for it, also. According to Mr. Luck, Da Mick was originally brought aboard by those involved in the earliest (still evolving) concept of the series, mostly to handle all the rough-and-tumble physical stuff for McCall. As the original staff faded away (and left of their own generally dissatisfied accord), the second regime arrived, which included Mr. Luck.    Posted:   Jan 28, 2008 - 5:31 PM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member)    Posted:   Jan 28, 2008 - 10:01 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) I only watched a handful of episodes of "Equalizer" when it was on, but I did know Coleman Luck's son Coleman Jr. in college (when I found myself without a recording VCR the night Gulf War I began and I wanted to tape the news coverage, I ended up buying Coleman Jr.'s on the spot for $50!). Coleman Sr. was also an alumni of Wheaton College and spoke on campus once (this was when the show was still on the air). I may give it a look on DVD down the line though the only episode I remember was "Blood And Wine" with Telly Savalas in the third season I think it was.    Posted:   Jan 29, 2008 - 3:48 PM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member) Your path has crossed with some truly noteworthy individuals, HooRaq. By all means, DO give the series a shot from its First Season beginning; we don't feel you'll be disappointed (and may even be, pardon the concept, converted).    Posted:   Jan 29, 2008 - 3:59 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) I wasn't going to bring that point up about him, neo, but since it's been done, I'll add that his talk at Wheaton was on the theme of being a Christian in the Hollywood realm. Our library I can remember built up the event by having tapes of the Equalizer playing in the corridors. And "Blood And Wine" I could tell did reflect a desire to write an episode that drew on the Christian theme of forgiveness for sins, even particularly brutal ones since the Christian has to remember that all sin, even ones we regard rightly as heinous, can be forgiven by God.    Posted:   Jan 29, 2008 - 4:17 PM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member) Which is probably why that ep is most likely Mr. Luck's favorite.    Posted:   Jan 29, 2008 - 8:39 PM     By:   TheSaint   (Member) Maybe someone here can help me. I was able to score a review copy of S1. I watched the pilot and it was a 60 minute episode(well, 48 minutes w/o commercials). Now, I remember the pilot being a 90 minute episode. Of course, that was 22+ years ago. Can anyone here confirm whether it was a 60 min episode, and I'm thinking of something else, or that it was a 90 min episode, and I did remember correctly?    Posted:   Jan 30, 2008 - 3:31 PM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member) So far as is ascertainable, the pilot was the usual hour-length (except for the always odious but unavoidable commercials), Saint-er. Now, behind the scenes, evidently it was cut from something coming close to two hours but at no time was it ever aired in anything close to that length.    Posted:   Jan 30, 2008 - 3:47 PM     By:   Dana Wilcox   (Member) I first saw Edward Woodward as the policeman sent to investigate the disappearance of a child in THE WICKER MAN, but was later most impressed with his superb performance (along with Brian Brown and others) in BREAKER MORANT. In one part of MORANT (in a flashback) he sang most beautifully, and I've always wondered if that was really his voice. Either way, he was (and presumably still is) an actor's actor, a man of great talent who could have done THE EQUALIZER in his sleep -- but didn't. EDIT: I guess it was his singing voice in BREAKER MORANT, based on IMDB bio.    Posted:   Jan 31, 2008 - 5:40 AM     By:   TheSaint   (Member) (Oh, and we'd love to read your review. Care to send us a copy or is it available for perusal somewhere in cyber space?) Unfortunately, I don't work in the review department at my job. I was able to get this because one of the writers who got it wasn't interested in either reviewing it or keeping it. I've only watched 2 episodes so far. The only complaint I have is that the prints used are grainy & dark. As I was unable to tape the 1st season episodes first run, I can't compare and contrast with the episodes I have on tape. I'm hoping the prints get better as I go further into the set.    Posted:   Jan 31, 2008 - 2:11 PM     By:   MikeJ   (Member) I hope this isn't going to be like the Miami Vice box sets... The first season box, in particular, has some really great transfers and, equally, some TERRIBLE grainy transfers.    Posted:   Jan 31, 2008 - 3:13 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) Universal will sometimes go the very cheap print route if they can get away with it. Every season of "Emergency" has had some very *horrible* looking prints with the kind of splice marks and dirt you'd only expect from a PD release of 16mm prints.    Posted:   Jan 31, 2008 - 4:45 PM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member) CRAPOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This disparity in quality is definitely NOT what we wanted to hear. Guess we're just gonna haveta grin and (knot) bear it ...    Posted:   Feb 1, 2008 - 6:15 PM     By:   TheSaint   (Member) I really don't get why a tv/film company would use cheap prints. The prints used for Perry Mason & Naked City look much better than what I've seen of The Equalizer, and those shows are decades older in comparison. Just watched "The Defector". Print quality wasn't bad, though there was one scene that was grainy.    Posted:   Feb 1, 2008 - 9:16 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) I think it depends on whether the studio will pay to remaster the original elements in the vault, and if they don't want to do that, then they'll just release the last set of transfers that were made however many years ago that was. Universal tends to be worse in that regard, whereas Paramount has been going back to the source elements for their new DVD releases.     Non-Film Score Discussion: EDWARD WOODWARD as THE Equalizer : ENDGAME    << < 1 2 3 4  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
