Karl Urban Video Interview, JoBlo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkFIRKydjIs

great stuff!

That is a good interview. Urban comes across pretty pumped in this.

[Danbo]

You can tell he's happy with what he's seen.

[Pete Wells]

Urban is a class act, I really like him. We couldn't have asked for more...

[TordelBack]

Being cursed with a former rabid Xena/Hercules fangirl for a wife, I have been exposed to the Urban Evangelical movement for over a decade now, only really buying into his talents myself with Star Trek XI, but I've got to admit that he is a hugely impressive interviewee.  Sincere, informed, enthusiastic and eloquent: you don't see many actors that can sustain that.

Probably a skill honed over years of Raimi/Tapert convention fangirl-wrangling...

[Goaty]

Always like Karl Urban as first notice him in Ghost Ship, he does doing it well in his films! Like him in Riddick!

There is Karl Urban's film out on FilmFour tonight at 1.50am, Pathfinder, he was good at actions!

[SmallBlueThing]

Yep, the one thing i think everyone can agree on is that Urban is a very nice man, a pretty good actor and fast turning into a top notch ambassador for 2000AD. Mind you, after a couple of years having to deal with trekkies, i'd imagine we seem almost normal- even commando forces, bless his little camo socks.

Urban is just at that level of hollywood fame where he's still got people telling him the truth, saying 'no' and he hasnt joined a mind-control cult slash tax dodge organisation as yet. Long may he maintain this admirable abnormality.

Cool beans. I was just thinking about that the other day. Not his best though..

[Stan]

I mean it's no Outlander.

[DeFuzzed]

I really liked Pathfinder, thought it was visually striking and quite impressed they shot it so quickly - 30 days or something? Real good characterisation too, and good pieces of action throughout. ANd I like Clancy Brown so win win.

And Xena was great fun, is still when I manage to catch a repeat. His Caesar was awesome.

[chuffsteruk]

Wonder if it's also worth recommending some Anderson stuff to unknowing peeps too?

well worth listening to.

The analogy of brain-processes speeding up in order for perception to slow-down would apply if brain-perception ran like a film-camera to which I don't know the answer, but, if that were the case, logically an opposite drug to Slo-Mo (Hi-Speed™) could have the extreme opposite effect of speeding up perception but  for perception to speed-up would mean brain-processes would need to slow-down, to which I also don't know the answer but I don't believe would be true.

There is no recreational drug which enhances your ability to drive - but there are a few which make you think they do.

I saw a test of this on TV. A driver was tested with increasing amounts of alcohol in his system and a few days later the tests were repeated but with marijuana. They found even small amounts of alcohol disrupted his driving and it got rapidly worse as the quantity increased.

Interestingly with marijuana it was slightly different in that there was a slight improvement in his driving, he became more concentrated and drove more carefully. But this didn't last, the more marijuana he smoked the slower he drove and his skull level dropped. He didn't swerve or hit road cones as he did with booze, his spatial awareness seemed ok...he just got increasingly slow...he began to drive in slo mo. It was hilarious to watch as he slowed to the slowest stoner crawl.
