AMEN!

I have seen something similar to this but not in quite so much detail. Cracks me the hell up. But I think it would be better if Britain's PM weren't such a supporter of the U.S. Make it something like France or Germany or both working to upend our independence and it becomes that much funnier.

I think it's your computer that doesn't work, Sean. You couldn't load the WMV of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and you can't load this page. I've tested it on both PC and Mac in four different browsers on each and all of them load it fine. Might want to check with your school's IT department.

That's right! There was an Energizer commercial with Vader in the carbon freeze chamber, wasn't there? I thought he was talking about Energizer commercials in general. My bad. Yeah, that commercial was mid 90s. I was in college at the time.

There is actually a CD and a new DVD and it's on both. Here's a review of the DVD from Amazon.com...

Quote
Life's a bitch, or at least it is to Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog. Since his first appearance in 1997, Triumph has emerged a breed apart as Late Night with Conan O'Brien's biggest breakout star. In fact, not even Conan himself has had a bestselling CD, or appeared on Hollywood Squares. Triumph gives new meaning to the honor "Best in Show" with this collection of his most memorable Late Night appearances, including his now-classic reports at the Westminster Dog Show (where he takes full advantage of backstage access, if you get my cruder meaning), his Red Carpet interviews at MTV's Video Music Awards, and, the pick of the litter, his visit to the Star Wars "uber-dorks" waiting in line for the opening of Attack of the Clones (To a Darth Vader impersonator in full regalia: "Which of these buttons calls your parents to pick you up?"). For Triumph fans, this DVD is a tremendous, exciting experience... FOR ME TO POOP ON! --Donald Liebenson

I don't hold it against you, Warbler. If the Bears were having a similar season, I'd be celebrating in much the same manner. Alas, I am still holding out for next year.

I had to download Windows Media Player for Mac (which I only recently discovered existed) in order to watch this. But it was SO worth it. I wonder if this segment is on the recently released Best of Triumph DVD.

Yeah, but it's still not the same in terms of hair and the look of his face. You'd have to paint on the stubble beard and whatnot which ruins the collectible value of the Han Solo figure in itself. Plus, I'd really rather not ruin something that cost me US$250 to begin with.

But the Academy is not supposed to give out awards based on an entire series. The rules stipulate that awards can be given only for a film released during that year of eligibility and only ROTK was released during last year. And the nomination forms read "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" not "Lord of the Rings: The Whole Damn Series". So Academy voters should have looked at that film only. Like I said, if they want to give something because of the achievements of the whole series, give them some new Special Achievement award.

I would sure as hell hope so. It only makes sense for them to run the same way you would a TV on DVD collection... either individual episodes or as a full length run through. My only concern is that the full length run through will still be cut up by credits. I hope their "run through" cuts that out. PLEASE LFL, DO AT LEAST ONE THING LOGICALLY.

There's no question that Perlman pulled off Hellboy beyond the ability of just about anybody I could imagine in that role. He was spectacular in bringing that big red lunkhead to life.

I also think more actors from throughout the LOTR series should have been nominated for acting awards. I think Sean Astin should have received a supporting nod for ROTK, maybe Elijah Wood for ROTK (although I think Astin was better) or TTT, etc.

But I've gotta say that I did like the casting of Faramir in TTT/ROTK unlike somebody in another thread stated.

Mystic River was far superior to ROTK and should have taken the award. Even Lost in Translation should have been given the nod over ROTK. But hey, that's what these damn awards are all about, isn't it? Opinions.

I would have to agree on the "too many" part. The third film wasn't even the one that deserved the nominations. It should have been the first one. And people, don't go saying that the awards were given for the whole series. Yes, that is what happened. But that is not what should have happened. The movie nominated was the third movie, not the series. If you want to recognize an entire series, that's what Special Achievement awards are for.

Sorry, rant over.

Hellboy was cool. Not award-worthy cool, but cool all the same. And I proudly display my Hellboy action figure at work.

Clone Wars Announcement

And for those who don't want to link...

The Emmy Award-winning and critically acclaimed Star Wars: Clone Wars micro-series is coming to DVD on March 22, 2005, and here's a first look at the box art of this action-packed release that blends the epic scope of Star Wars with a unique animated style.

Obi-Wan Kenobi fights a messy battle with an alien bounty hunter; Anakin Skywalker engages in an epic lightsaber duel in the decrepit ruins of Yavin 4; Mace Windu single-handedly takes on an entire droid army -- these are some of the unshakable images of micro-series, enjoyed by viewers of the Cartoon Network as well as members of Hyperspace: The Official Star Wars Fan Club.

All 19 three-minute chapters and the five-minute long Chapter 20 of the first round of Star Wars: Clone Wars are gathered together in this release. Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky with Art Direction by Paul Rudish, the Clone Wars series are a fresh, stylized take on Star Wars that remains true to the spirit of the saga. They chronicle some of the epic battles that occur between Episodes II and III as the Clone Wars rage across the galaxy.

Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume 1 debuts on DVD on March 22, 2005. Cartoon Network will host the premiere of the all-new Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume 2 on March 21, one day before the DVD's release. Keep checking starwars.com for the latest developments.

And here's the cover art. I like how Anakin's character is situated on both sides of the dividing line...

Working in PR, I have found that Kinko's employees tend to be generally clueless as to how to get stuff done. I feel your pain, Windexed.

Motti, I'm holding off for now. But I'll keep the offer in mind should he actually make some pansy-assed move against me.
