The ending to the first season was a sort of "out" in case Cartoon Network didn't renew the show...... Plus, they introduced Jonas Venture Jr., so even if Hank and Dean are dead the title still works... Well, Tom Goes to the Mayor has been getting decent ratings. I personally don't have a clue why. I hate it. Besides, that's one of the fifteen-minute specials anyway. Perfect Hair Forever is supposed to be getting more eps, though.

I don't know about that-- (from ShadalooSoldier's Noob-Smoke FAQ)

Well, when you've read about films like these -- http://www.schlocktoberfest.com/current_co...y_bware05A.html -- coming out this year, the film companies listed there would snap him up for his notoriety alone. With even lower production values, he either might be forced to not suck (WS' movies were better when he had less money to throw around) or his movies will end up with the Ed Wood production values that would make his movies even funnier. It's win/win to me.

Box Office Mojo has Alone listed at #14 and bringing in a mere $2.5 million. House of the Dead brought in $5.6 million for its opening. Hmm...I wonder if this is the end of Uwe's career now.

Am I the only one worried about KEVIN SULLIVAN COMING IN?! "The impression I get from talking to insiders is that bringing him in will eventually help to neutralize some of the bad Hollywood scripts churned out by non-wrestling people who currently sit on the WWE writing committee." I'm speechless.

It's the only ep I haven't seen, but I think you mean "Krampus." Why wouldn't it survive to see a second season? It's getting some of the best ratings of any of the Adult Swim shows. When it's on the same night as Futurama/Family Guy it usually comes in just behind those two, and it even beat Futurama one time. Recently it got something like 900,000 estimated viewers according to the AS ratings reports. I love the show. Hilarious in so many ways, from the physical comedy, great one-liners, and awesome parodies (Ice Station Impossible > the Fan 4 movie). The writing is top-notch, the animation style is very cool, and they have plenty of talented voice actors. It's hard for me to really say who has the best lines. Monarch and Dr. Orpheus often have the funniest ones, but Dr. Venture himself often chimes in at exactly the right time with a killer ("Thank you everyone, you've been a lovely audience" after Orpheus hams it up at the trial). I loved the old Tick animated series, so I'm glad to see the folks involved getting another shot. The average Ventures ep so far is funnier than *any* episode of Family Guy or Futurama I've ever seen, and funnier than a lot of Simpsons eps in that show's prime. The show has too many great characters to overuse them. The Monarch rules, but I personally wouldn't mind seeing more of Phantom Limb and the like. Also, yeah--that may be my second favorite ep behind the Trial of the Monarch. Ah, who am I kidding. Probably it's tied with second with...most of the eps. Yeah, Trial of the Monarch 1st, the ep on the space station 3rd, and pretty much every other ep 2nd. *I* "It was all sound and fury, signifying nothing" (after coming out of the port-a-potty) "I'm not flushing! Let them see the wrath of the Monarch!" "Want to do it on his bed? Let him sleep in our genetic filth?" "Nah." "What can I do to this guy that life hasn't already done?...I don't even feel like taking a whiz on this. I used to DREAM of taking a whiz on this!" SAM-SON! No P! I was worried he'd be overwhelmingly the star at first, but they use him very well, not overdoing it. I'll still never get over him killing a guy with his ass...

At one time, yeah... But I didn't see Pac-Man in Soul Calibur 2. Well, first he'd need a weapon. After all, he's not like Heihachi in that (cheapness) way. Besides, I think they were trying to be a reasonable bit serious with Soul Calibur II by keeping everyone relatively human looking. Exception being Lizardman and Berzerker, but they were close enough. Hell, even Link was human looking enough to work. If they were going to go goofy, I'm sure Mario would have been in Link's place...using a plunger as a weapon. True, but they could give Pac arms and legs like in the cartoon and most recent games. If they did a Megamix-style game, they could and should put Pac in. If Sega can use that appears to be a bear balloon that can't operate its actual limbs separately from his body as a fighter, then Namco can stick arms and legs on Pac and make him a fighter. Since Namco put an itty-bitty dinosaur that is difficult to even hit in T3, why not? It's inexcusable that Wonder Momo is making more cameo appearances in games than Pac Man. Mega Man should definitely be in, since he's perfect for the game style and has already been used quite well in some recent RPGs.

Shore's appearance in Futurama will sate my Shore quota for the rest of this decade. Maybe I'll check out the Director's Cut HD-DVD in 2011.

It was okay, worth the couple bucks I paid for it. It's very similar to the early SD games that were around at that time. It was an arcade game made to sap quarters, after all. It was never supposed to be anything more. So naturally it didn't have CAW or career.

And in MK-Annihilation, she was squished by a big metal cage before ever actually getting to fight, because the studio I guess was too cheap to spring for having both Sheeva and Motaro to have fight scenes. Had to save that SFX money for TOTALLY ASININE ANIMALITY BATTLE BETWEEN KAHN AND LIU... Well, by the looks of it, it was probably relatively cheap. anyway.

At one time, yeah... But I didn't see Pac-Man in Soul Calibur 2. Fighters' Megamix 2 featuring Namco characters problem won't ever happen, sadly. And it makes *no sense* that Sonic wasn't in FM.

The original games were supposedly Lovecraft-inspired (with the monster designs at the very least), but queries in the VGs folder didn't net me any more details. It seems hard to find anyone who actually played the damn thing. The ones who did got fed up with the horrible controls and never actually got very far. The creator of the AitD series HAND-PICKED BOLL to direct this, so I don't blame Boll, I blame him.

There were at least 4 video games that I know of. AitD 1, 2, 3, and The New Nightmare. I'd seen plot summaries for that basically listed TNN's plot, and while it is the closest to this movie, it's still not the same. No Shadow Island or anything like that, but you do get the same ancient civilization, gate to the demon realm thing. They even die the same way (well, that is, evaporate after death, but they only spring for that effect once in this movie). I don't know why they made a movie out if it either. TNN came and went a couple years ago with little/no fanfare and was basically the series doing a poor catch-up to Resident Evil gameplay-wise.

That's Burke. He's listed as Commander Richards on IMDb, but he's "Richard Burke." He's by far the most enjoyable character in the movie. He hams it up and seems to realize "yeah, this is a shit movie, so I may as well have fun."

Oh, I recommend it, but I warn you it's not laugh-a-minute material like Plan 9, MK:A, etc. There's plenty of filler which can make you completely lose interest if you're not patient. If you do see it, give me your best guess on what the hell the Hudgen/Xenos/spinal modules/artifacts relationship is. I admit I may have missed some details during bathroom breaks.

Ghey ^ (infinity)

Well, that does give you an idea of what *watching* it was like. Except for the "backstory," that was pretty much chronological. I don't even know where the Xenos that were already on Earth came from. The only explanation was "they were lurking in the dark" and were already here. Considering "sunlight in large doses is lethal" I don't even understand how they could take over the world or why they'd want to even cross over. http://www.boston.com/movies/display?display=movie&id=5771 Not even the professional critics can make any damn sense of out it. What do you want from me?! Although, to gauge its crapdom, I'll say it's better than MK:Annihilation by miles and is a *little* better than RE: A.

Sorry, but if you can't get a simple fact like that right in the first sentence of your review, I can't really read on. A number of reviews I've checked out have this pegged as laugh-out-loud/hilariously bad. I've got a free movie pass--I'm going. This review makes me want to see it more. I simply can't stand by and let the best contender for this generation's Ed Wood get relegated to porno just yet. I wonder if Reid says she is going to "do science."

It ain't ballet, you know.

Goro was brought back in MK4, canon-wise, actually. I'm not sure if it was just for the home versions or not (Anya could clear that up), but it's no different.

Okay, that's fair. How many RPGs, strat or otherwise, let you basically "recruit" a character from scratch, mix and match skills from tons of classes, capture and recruit enemies for use in battle, use animals' and their unique abilities, and determine how good a team's chemistry would be by their flippin' zodiac signs? Sadly, I never finished FFT. My RPG memory card was accidentally crushed. I had tons of playtime invested into it, had unlocked all the classes and was close to getting Cloud. And perhaps I'm wrong, but I would assume Secret of Mana probably should be added to your list. Thanks Square for giving us Evermore instead of SD4...

http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/01/26/news_6117158.html EA fired 60 employees from it's EA Studios. Oh, for S&Gs, EA's mission statement: "Electronic Arts' mission is to make fun software for consumers and to help interactive entertainment become a part of everyday life. To play a leading role in this new industry, EA needs a dedicated team of pioneers with vision, a passion for quality, a willingness to innovate and a desire to achieve great things while vigilantly maintaining our integrity.

Crimes Against Obesity is one of my favorite eps. And yeah, Bearse did get a bit of a big head once she had more control. Then of course, she even did *self-insertion* with "Mandy" (Marcy's gay identical cousin), but at least that was only for one ep. I agree with the changes in the writing style--it's really head-scratching if you only saw the later eps to see one of the earliest ones where Al is trying his damndest to get Peg a great anniversary gift... The show is still entertaining later on with the stinging verbal barbs and obvious dummies flying around, but it's a vastly different show.

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3137904 I'd hope for an actual Punch-Out! sequel, but considering that Nintendo already skipped a console generation where they could have given us one (but made Teleroboxer on VB, for some odd reason), the series' lack of popularity in Japan, and reluctance to even do a NES Classics release of Punch-Out!, I can only shudder at EA getting their hands on Nintendo's franchises. But hey, Little Mac gets to smack around some new competition, so at least there's another bright side to it.
