“Puny human – HULK SMASH!”

 

[artistrex]

I would be excited about this if A) I didn't think the new hulk movie was going to suck. and B) Lou hadn't bee a dick to my wife at Dragon Con last year. She wanted him to sign one of her Hulk DVD's and he told her he didn't want to because it wasn't one of his personal 8x10's which he was charging $20 to sign. He finally relented and agreed to sign it, if she paid twice as much for it than a regular autograph. It wasn't that we mind paying for an autograph it's just that he was being such a jerk and jacking up his price, cuz it wasn't his publicity shot.

A reason why I never really cared to meet any athlete or actor I like in person. Seems like most of the times they never live up to your expectations.

This cannot be said of Bruce Campbell.

Very cool!

 

[Mesa]

I was going to guess that before I opened this thread, seriously. He was at the last convention in Mesa a few months back, I had no desire to get his autograph so didn't bother to see what was invovled.

That's cool. thanks for the news. I feel this movie is goingto "smash" the box office this summer.

 

[Amir]

I read this earlier, I just can't wait to see this movie, it will be another smash marvel film I'm sure!

Doesn't Lou have a speech impediment? At least it sounded that way on King of Queens......its a great throwback to the TV Series including Lou but not sure if I'd want his voice in The Hulk....I'll wait and see though.

He did the Hulk voice in the animated series from the 90's and it sounded ok.

He has also been practicing a lot since then it seems, Natrix posted a link in the Official Hulk Thread to Aint IT Cool News site

- SPOILER ALERT -

Then we talked a little about Lou Ferrigno. Anyone who was a fan of the show in the ‘70s has a soft spot for Lou, and it’s very shrewd of Marvel to reach out to him. They originally just offered him a cameo in the film, and the clip where he appears is a nice one, a passing-of-the-torch between Ferrigno and Norton. Lou looks great, by the way. But onstage at the New York Comic-Con, they actually offered Lou a chance to voice the Hulk in a few scenes, and he rose to the occasion. Turns out, he’s been working on his version of a Hulk voice for a while, and since he never got to speak on the TV show, it’s something he’s been itching to do. In the final film, Lou’s work is combined with the work of Dave Farmer, who did the vocalizations for Peter Jackson’s KING KONG. He doesn’t say much, but the few lines he delivers really pay off. Louis talks about how many Easter eggs there are in the film this time, how they’ve layered in references to the show, and the comics, and how some of them are only for the most hardcore obsessive fans.

I have to disagree on this one, I know a lot of actors and athletes, and the thing is, they are mostly pretty cool, if you talk to them in the right setting. (but there are some that are just complete jerks, though.)

Never met the Hulk though.

Did you pay for the autograph?... At that point (I don't care who it would be) if he's a jerk then treat him as one and walk.

Yeah, I'm sure most are ok but we only seem to hear about the jerks. I got Tiger Woods, Jim Valvano and Dick Vitale in person and Jim and Dick were cool as hell but Tiger seemed a bit put out (of course I got his while he was sitting in the cart after a round at the NCAA tournament so maybe he was just a bit tired.)

The most gracious and polite celebrity to respond for autograph requests that I was ever aware of was the late Vincent Price. He would literally sign anything for anyone that wrote him a well done fan letter. In person, he was even nicer. A friend of mine met him, and upon a simple meeting he asked him if he'd like to grab a bite to eat with him. Very down to earth.

 

[screamingmetal]

That's awesome! Can't wait to hear Lou's HULK SMASH!!

 

[biglebowski9999]

This movie is going to rock, regardless of Lou's poor attitude, lol. Like that has anything to do w/ the quality of the movie.

No we didn't pay for it. we left his booth, and went to Marc Singer's (Beastmaster) booth, and he just about jumped over the table gave us a big hug and welcomed us over, like we were old friends,and I have never even seen him in person before.

Lou is like 90% deaf, that's why he has a speech impedement, he learned how to lip read and speak, but I think anyone who can't hear themselves speak will always have a speech impedement. It doesn't translate in being Hulk though, if it weren't in the credits, I'd have never known most of the time that it was him voicing Hulk in the 90's cartoon. I'll be curious to see to what extent he speaks, if it's like short things along the lines of Hulk smash or if he'll sort of dialogue a bit with Betty and such.
