MasterThief: "Mournful. She had mournful tits!"


I wanna find two little coffins, and give them a tasteful burial.

mitchcumstein1: SPHINX!!

Dammit, now you made me go look up S.P.H.I.N.X. explained.

Damn, my link was eaten.

WHO TALKS LIKE THAT

*does happy dance* Whoooo hoooooo I love Brock!

Yes, it's DVD release Tuesday, the happiest day of the week!

Spring is a slow period for DVD releases, so I started buying stuff on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca. The delivery time for Amazon.ca is great but things I order from Amazon.com seem to be left in front of my door, where any joker can steal them. The MST 3000 set I received most recently was in an open bubble bag and the inner plastic shrink rap was open. I suspect tampering.

Whoever did either decided they didn't want MST 3000 or else they watched them and put them back in front of my door before I was aware they were missing.

But, to stay on topic, I love that show and have everything so far. I'll try to get the new half-season today.

I hate this rip-off trick of splitting seasons. It's just a way to charge a lot more for the same material. They've done more of this lately, pushing the profit envelope on DVDs while waiting for them to die. And there's no real reason they should, so it may take some time.

Venture Brothers is great though.

I love camp, kitsch, and comedy, not to mention parody, satire and pastiche. VB has it all with supervillains. That's what I wanted to be when I grew up, by the way. They have the coolest lares, the coolest toys, the best lines and they are indestructible.

You can blow them up over and over again like cartoon cats and they'll come right back with another multi-billion dollar scheme. That's one hell of a trust fund the average super-villain must have.

It makes it easy to believe that the collective net worth of the world's billionaires is $4.7 trillion. I expect Evil Billionaires have a lot more stashed away that the official figures don't count.

It must be coming to an end, though. Doctor Girlfriend is now Mrs. Doctor Girlfriend and the clones are being allowed to grow up without being killed every time they turn around.

But those ten B-movies I ordered from Amazon should tide me over for a week or two.

Off the top of my head I have some Riff Trax of movies I've already seen, some Roger Corman classic crap including The Attack of the Crab Monsters, and if IIRC, I finally tagged Dark Star on DVD--it wasn't available the last time I special-ordered it. There's also a couple of real great stinkers that I've wanted for years.

I have most of the standard issue Horror, Fantasy and SF classics from the Golden Age of Bad Movies several times over, but there are still a number of glorious B&W and half-arsed dumb movies for me to collect.

I love me some campy kitschy classics, the more solemn the better.

I only have about six Bluray discs at the moment but they include Dark City, The Forbidden Planet, Humanoids by Roger Corman, and a boxed set of Bladerunner with about four different cuts.

But tonight belongs to the Venture Brothers. I don't expect my movies to arrive earlier than tomorrow, and it might take a couple of days or more. God willing they'll drop them off at the Post Office. I don't know why they don't drop them off at the nearest post office. I guess it is probably in a different zip.

Strolpol: I think the bigger news here is that they just announced that they're making two more seasons of the show, not that the DVD set is out today.

And a 60-90 minute special! God, I'm so excited.

This was such a great season. Hank's noir episode and the finale are two of the best episodes ever. And even though it won't be quite as funny, I can't wait to hear the uncensored explanations of what a "Rusty Venture" is.

catfish696: What's a Rusty Venture?

I'm guessing that it's a Ford model that was discontinued when I was a kid.

Go ask Ralph Nader.

thespindrifter: Wow, sponsored on Fark AND on "Life Hacker"?

These idiots must really be desperate to make a buck. Screw them.

God bless capitalism.

Cyno01: BRICKFROG!

That still makes me laugh like an idiot every time.
