All about entertainment, baby!

You DO have the right to remain silent. What you lack is the capacity.

We just bought “Shrek2” on DVD….

Can’t. stop. laughing!!!!
Infinitely better than the first. If you remember how cheezy they looked in the Robin Hood scene FROM the last movie, the details are astonishing in this one.

Is it me or does “Prince Charming” bear an uncanny resemblance to Nico?

The surprise bonus on the DVD is “Far Far Away Idol” (A spoof of American Idol, cuz nothing’s sacred with these guys…) featuring a 3D cameo by Simon. 🙂

Highly recommended. If you have a choice between paying a bill or buying the DVD… your creditors will understand. Trust me.

Wanted: Comic Book writers

Posted on by Eric Brooks

I know, I know… the artists get all the glory. In fact, my dream as a kid was to be an artist for Marvel Comics.

Then I found out how much money they made, and I had to find a new dream. Fast.

I’ll just borrow this straight FROM the Animotions Newsletter:

Got comics in your blood? You could be making money doing them!
Do you have a great story that needs illustrating? Are you a super 2D or 3D artist in search of a good story to illustrate? Or are you just waiting for a venue to sell your own comic in?

There’s a market out there for good stories. Get the details here.

So if anyone’s interested in writing for indy comics, there’s a whole discussion on at Animotions . It’s a 3-d community (like Renderosity) dedicated to comics, superheroes, anime, fantasy, etc.

Membership required (free, of course).

Do you look at a menu and say "OK"?

One of my comedic heroes, Rodney Dangerfield has passed away.

Some of his great one-liners have been collected here.
Rather than have my typical fits of rage at moments like this, exclaiming “It should have been YOU!!!”, I choose to remember the good times and all the laughs this time. I’m gonna rent Back to School, and raise a glass of coke in his honor.

I still think it should have been you, though.

REDRUM!
You know, since I’ve given up being a workaholic, I’ve discovered television.
(Why didn’t you people tell me it was in color now?)

Tell me, how can you NOT love little Stewie Griffin FROM “Family Guy“?
He’s EXACTLY what I imagined Dr. Doom was like as a toddler.

A great episode was where he was taken away by CP$ and in a foster home.
Foster child: “Come on Stewie, you can help us make our rainbow”
Stewie: “I have a better idea, why don’t we all play let’s drink what’s under the sink instead?”

The best by far was the one where Peter’s dad retires and comes to live with them. A stereotypical Irish Catholic who turns Stewie on to God with horror stories FROM the Old Testament.

Stewie: “I love this God fellow… he’s so deliciously evil!!!”
Nyuk….

Labor Day Festival

You didn’t go last night, did you?
Damn, you missed a SHOW and a half!
One more reason you all need to come up to the Poconos and visit me!

Me & Randi
We had a perfect spot on the lawn, where we laid out blankets and listened under the stars to some of the best Blues, Jazz & Rock & Roll artists on the planet.

(Sorry, I know I promised my tens of fans a team up of B.B., Lucille, me & Randi… but I am TROOLY not worthy to be on the same stage as that man. Maybe in, like, 150 years or so, ok? Besides I have “Mr. Mom” detail this week, as I am off on vacation, so Carole, Christina and Ashley can work the shows and hang with all the artists. So I have little ones.).

Mountain Laurel Center for the Performing Arts is back, baybee!

Posted on by Eric Brooks

State Rep. Kelly Lewis has done it again:
“Lewis Announces Mountain Laurel Center Labor Day Concert Series“.

Of course I knew about it. It’s one of many surprises and changes we’ve got coming down the the pike for the ailing entertainment/tourist industry of the Poconos.

A lot of water and bad blood (and wasted money) has gone under the bridge since last year’s historic opening with Tom Ridge, and the disaster it slowly became.

It was run (to the ground) by morons.

Lookie, lookie, lookie!!!! I beat The Mighty T to a test!!!!
I was hoping to be the DEATH card, but ok...HERMIT “the meditator, philosopher, sage, wise man”
You can not and will not compromise your values and have a desire to complete past things before beginning the new (you value completion, perfection, and introspection highly). You are a natural way-shower, sage, and seeker. You have an appreciation of the body and the wisdom of the earth and its natural process. You have a deep love for beauty, harmony, and order.

If you’re not reading Fanatical Apathy, you’re an idiot. He’s funny as hell. Adam’s a former writer for The Daily Show and now he just got a Head Writer gig for a new TV show. I wish him the best. His political satire is priceless.

Happy Anniversary Osama bin Forgotten!
I took my Osama Clock down a few weeks ago out of disgust. Assuming he ever is captured or killed any time FROM now until election day, I’d rule it as something that should have been a priority long before going after any other scumbags and it’s just re-election theatrics at this point.

Wulfgar reminds me that it’s been over 1,000 days since Bush’s pledge to bring him to justice. An interesting list of quotes collected by Buzzflash just astounds me at how the man who started the “War on Terror” with us stopped being important to Bush in no time flat.

He’s now had three years to plot and finance the sequel to 9/11, and I’d love to see how the knuckledragging Bush apologists try and spin it away if (God forbid) it happens again.

Let’s put it in milder terms that even a moron can understand…
When you get a shutoff notice for your electric, and you spend all your time and energy paying your cable bill…

… don’t be surprised when your tv set doesn’t work in the dark.
It’s a question of priorities, isn’t it?

(Yeah, call me a “lefty”, “Un-American” and a “traitor”… I’ve heard it all before asshole.
Ad-Hominem attacks are SO 2002.)

Pedophiles of the world: Rejoice! Yes the Olsen Twins turned 18.

I dunno what some twisted folks are all excited about (considering I’ve been hearing pervs in newsgroups and message boards go on about them for years.). Unlike Hillary Duff and Britney Spears, the Olsen twins didn’t hit the scene as “pre-packaged lolitas” to run a countdown until they stopped being jailbait.

Ok. Let’s put it to you this way. Next time some nasty-assed, middle-aged old man with a hairy back starts hankering to be a part of a Mary Kate and Ashley sandwich… may this image burn their eyeballs out:

Awwww... lookit little Michelle!
You’re welcome, you nasty bastard.On the other hand Lindsay Lohan turns 18 in just two weeks.
Hey, I’m just saying, that’s all.
