Frank Langella Loves Being Skeletor

I contend and will till the day I die that 1987's Masters Of The Universe is a highly underrated fantasy film and one of best live action adaptations of 1980's toy/cartoon fair ever to be presented.  I have argued for the script, for the choice of setting the film on earth, and various other decisions director Gary Goddard made on his first feature outing.  Luckily one thing I rarely have to argue for is the stellar performance delivered by Frank Langella as Skeletor!  Mr. Langella is gold from beginning to end: fun and frightening, deadly yet poetic, and effective in every respect.

Now the great thespian shares some of his thoughts about the role of Skeletor and why he decided to take the part.  The video posted below is extremely short, amounting to just a few comments most of which are pretty basic, but it is nice to know that he enjoyed the part as much as he is appreciated for what he did with it.

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe According To Chris Bores

It's no secret that I love 80's cartoons and while Transformers will always be king of the heap in my mind, I can't help but gush anytime He-Man comes into the conversation!  He's become a joke to some, a cherished childhood memory to others, and a personal hero to the true fans of The Masters Of The Universe!  As such I try to post He-Man related topics wherever I can find them.  And speaking of which, let's talk about the Irate Gamer.

Over the years Chris Bores has had his fair share of bashing and I'd be remiss in saying that not all of it was ill deserved.  But he is an entertainer and he's not a bad one in his own right.  Recently I came across a video where he reviewed the Masters of the Universe video games for the Atari 2600 and Intellivsion.

It's a decent video, short and sweet, with some nice screen shots of the game play.  Definitely worth checking out for video game fans and He-Man-aholics like myself.  Check it out and if you enjoy it, give Mr. Bores own youtube channel a gander.  You might just like it.
