It's The Mouse And His Child, a slightly bizarre, but beautiful, animated film based on the book of the same name. I used to watch this repeatedly when I was a kid, since it was in heavy rotation on HBO, even though it was pretty scary. Check out the Wikipedia synopsis for just a taste.
Hopefully this can heal some of the damage that Rod's love of all things ass has wrought.
I have found your new Theme Song...
EDIT: Deleted to preserve what is left of our remaining sanity. If you really want to see it, Google for "What What (In The Butt)". And may God have mercy on your eternal soul.
Dario Argento's is finishing work on this next movie, the third in his Mother's Trilogy. Check out the shaky cam trailer below:
Have to keep an eye out for this ...
...like to see some of the stuff I have been working on. See the reasons I have been away for the last month or more.
I took all of the pictures myself, and these are all straight from the camera with no editing except resizing for upload. They need some color correcting and some pixel bumping, but that is taking a litle bit o' time

Don "Mr. Wizard" Herbert dies at 89.
Some of you young scamps would be too young to remember him, but I used to be glued to the set every time he was on. Some of the science was a bit dodgy at times, but he did make learning interesting and fun, and was a big influence on me.
Godspeed, Don.
If you're like me and love bad movies, you were probably a big fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000. And if you weren't, get the fuck out my house ... :) Well, Mike Nelson is back with a similar project called Rifftrax. It's been around for a while, but I decided to try them out last night with their track for Star Wars: Episode I.
Hooo boy. It is, in a word, glorious! I can't recommend it enough. There are some terrific gags on there, and they do a great job of helping you set it up.
5 stars. Joe Bob sez, "Check it out."
Pamela Low, the creator of the "covering" of Cap'n Crunch, has died, taking to her grave her unreasoning hatred of young children's soft upper palate.
I just watched the first episode of Dexter (it is now 4:20am)
This could possibly be the greatest TV show ever. EVER.
The show speaks to me... I dont know if I should be worried, or if the authorities should be worried.
David Hyde Pierce Officially Comes Out.
Wow. What a shocker. I haven't been this surprised since Rob Halford.
This is about the coolest damn thing I've ever seen. Its strange when you see or read about this kind of stuff in science fiction and then it becomes reality.
Former star of Lidsville and The Hollywood Squares, Charles Nelson Reilly dead at 76. The center square won't be the same without you. Godspeed.
Wow. Click on the link above about the viral ad campaign thats been run.
I Believe In Harvey Dent Too
Y'know, for those of you who might've missed a few episodes.
BTW: SPOILER-IFFIC. But fuckin' hilarious just the same ...
ack_attack: SEASON 3 RECAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I might be interested in going. I like all of that talk about the booze and parties.
Are you guys going? I think I could use a few days of doing nothing but drinking beer and being a disruption to serious DnD players.
them: "my elf opens the chest"
me: "your elf *hic* is a big fag..."
them: "come on, this is a serious game *whine*"
me: "you know how I know your *hic* gay...?"
heh
... but they were the ones to report that George Lucas thought that Spider-Man 3 was "silly".
From the FA:
Do I even need to comment on this??Lucas told me he has seen all the summer movies since his company, Industrial Light and Magic, does most of the special effects. The only one they didn't work on was "Spider-Man 3." What did he think of it?
"It's silly. It's a silly movie," he said. "There just isn't much there. Once you take it all apart, there's not much story, is there?"
Well, it's not "Star Wars."
"People thought 'Star Wars' was silly, too," he added, with a wink. "But it wasn't."
... that they bury this fucker in an unmarked grave?
Jerry Falwell, dead at 73.
'Cause you know that grave would be desecrated like a mother fucker by everyone he's ever pissed off. Probably arranged to have an armed guard for it. Rot in Hell, you cocksucker!
he Last War
2085. Humanity faces extinction. Alien insects from the edge of our solar system, long hidden behind the façade of reality, descend to enslave us. Hordes of unspeakable horrors roll out from Central Asia, laying waste to anything in their path. The church of the fish-god scours the world for lost occult secrets to unleash terrible forces. Dead gods awaken and turn their dreadful eyes toward the Earth. And within hides a cancer, eating away at the very heart of the New Earth Government.
This is the Aeon War. This is the time of CthulhuTech.
Climb inside a thirty-foot tall war machine and rain down hell on the unwavering Migou. Fight tooth and nail on the front lines against the horrific beasts of the Rapine Storm. Seek out the disgusting corruption of the insidious Esoteric Order of Dagon. Explore the dark world of the malignant Chrysalis Corporation and their unseen monstrous agents. Sift through secrets long thought lost and bend the power of the cosmos to your will. Join in symbiosis with something beyond time and space and become a shape-shifting bringer of wrath.
Nowhere else will you find a setting like this.
... but then it rapidly deteriorates.
Check it out for daily updates.
Holy Crap.
I dig the future heroes, you know, dark and badass!
I did not expect the whole bit about who the president really is. And I dig a superhero story where some motherfuckers gotta die.
Nothing drives hoplessness home like 2 bullets in the back!
Tom Poston, dead at 85.
See, you young 'uns might not remember him, but he was one of the funniest guys around back in the day. He did everything, and got to bone Suzanne Pleshette too ...
" ... and this is my corpse."
Jack Valenti, former head of the MPAA, dead at 85. He was kinda a douche, but he did do an episode of Freakazoid, which forgives many sins.
"Who?", I hear you cry.
"Philistines!", say I, and direct you here.
Dude, some of these flicks are drive in classics.
I already downloaded 4 movies (slow!)and it is good
... or the Muppet fans ...
... or fans of l33t ...
... or Gene Kelly fans ...
Just watch the damn thing!
Public Domain Torrents offers several Bittorrent powered downloads of public domain movies. There's a lot of stinkers there, but a few real gems. If you've never seen the 1940's Superman animated shorts, you could do a lot worse.
A pretty funny clip from Will Ferrell. Parents with kids will be especially pleased, I think ....
Dungeon and Dragon magazines cease publication in September.
Whoa. I can't say I'm overly surprised, considering the move to on-line publishing most companies have done, but it's still a bit of a shock.
Any bets on there being a wake at Gencon?
The 501st now have air support. May God have mercy on our souls.
I mean, just see what he's been reduced to at sadkermit.com. So sad ...
I mean, how pathetic is this:
Irish town wants to change it's name to Fort of the Harlot.
Sounds like my kinda place ... :)
It's that Weng Weng video he's been going on about ...
Which was also mentioned as a Media of the day on Blue's News. Nice one!
Novelist Kurt Vonnegut dies at 84
Ouch. If you've never read Slaughterhouse Five, you owe it to yourself to do so, ASAP.
Ron Jeremy was an extra (he has confirmed it as true). Yet another reason why this is one of the greatest movies ever made...
This Friday is Steak and BJ Day, a romantic holiday that any red-blooded male can get behind ...
Entertainment: Richard Jeni Dead At 45, Probable Suicide
Whoa. Just ... whoa.
"Platypus Man" was one of my all time favorite comedy specials, and his Jacques Clouseau routine is a classic.
You will be missed.
BBC NEWS | UK | Northern Ireland | 'Elf' lingerie thief found guilty
Yes, a man playing Shadowrun dressed up as his female elf character and held up a lingerie shop.
Hilarity ensues.
Of course, it would have had to be Shadowrun ... fuckin' elves ...
"Of course I'll share my Dalek Chocolate Cake with you and Erin, honey. Just make sure we have some insulin handy."
This is the only "you tube" clip I could find... but I watched this movie last night. Netflix, I didnt buy it.
I only have one thing to tell you... Eva Braun is a zombie werewolf in California in 1985 !?!?!
I dug the Mummy flicks in a Saturday matinee way, so I'm sorta stoked about this. Could be a lot of fun. The article mentions both Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh. Groovy.
Oh yeah, this will definitely be the centerpiece for a skirmish game at Con on the Cob in November! Wow....
The Sci Fi channel launched a free streaming movie site called Sci Fi Drive-In. They're all old flicks but they have some classics like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Metropolis along with some more obscure stuff.
Sci Fi Drive-In
Whoa. This looks very promising.
Heh, heh; Violence of the Lambs, indeed.
New movie coming out in March from the guys who did the Saw movies. Plot line is very similar to something I ran in my first Cthulhu campaign ... which resulted in one exploded house and an entire party on the run from the law. Good times, good times ...
Top Shelf comics has announced LXG 3 to be released in 2008. This is not the same as The Black Dossier, which is another companion volume coming out from DC Comics, but an entirely new story.
I'm as giddy as a schoolboy ...
Bad enough that Sledge Hammer is available on DVD, but coming out tomorrow is both Gymkata and Looker ... at least with Looker you can get tits in the afternoon any time you want ...
... you listen to any of the bands on this list.
Strangely enough, Asia is noticeably absent ...
Here's the next movie I can't wait to see ...
From the guys who brought us Shaun of the Dead ... bloody brilliant ...
Check out the newly announced extra tracks for the XBox 360 edition of Guitar Hero II. I mean, The Trooper!!!! I am so there.
I mentioned the Five Geek Social Fallacies in conversation with John and Tom earlier tonight, and I wanted to share with everyone. See how many people you know who have suffered under one or more of these delusions ...
Because the inventor of Cup O' Noodles has died. I wonder if he'll be cremated, then stored in one of those little styrofoam cups ...
The song in this video is by Voltaire, who was also responsible for The Vampire Club, which some of you might remember from my con road trip mix ... Good times, good times...
