Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Colon Movie Film for Theaters Trailer

Like! oh my god!, a movie from my favorite 10 minute cartoon after Metalocalypse, Sealab 2021, Frisky Dingo, Squidbillies and Morel Orel. If you don't know the Aqua Teens by now, you probably would not like it.



While were at it...

Lets check out Dana Snyder, the voice of Master Shake's IMDB profile.

A little more snooping on IMDB shows that the writers of ATHF also wrote Sealab, Squid Billies and Perfect Hair Forever.

But the biggest news about the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie is that ol Bruce Campbell is top billed in the cast.

Famous people drink too...

From the mental floss blog...

I’ll Have What Her Majesty’s Having (famous folk and their drinks of choice)

Mangesh, Feb 16, 2007 18:59:29 GMT

The sad truth is, we can’t choose a brand of jeans unless a celebrity endorses them. Just can’t do it. Nor can we pick a rental car service until we know some sort of professional athlete is comfortable shilling for their brand. That’s why we’re forgoing those no-name Nectarini’s we order night after night for a delicious celebrity-endorsed beverage. Because if it’s good enough for the Queen, Ernest Hemingway, or even Lyndon B. Johnson, then darn it if it isn’t good enough for mental_floss.

Queen Elizabeth II – More than tea, Her Majesty prefers a Gordon’s gin and tonic. Oh, and don’t forget the lemon slices. The British Queen takes 3 of them with each drink.

Lyndon B. Johnson – Scotch and soda. When it was hot outside, the former president loved to drive slowly around his Texas ranch in an open top convertible, taking long pulls from a large foam glass. When his cup runneth lower, Johnson simply dangled it out his window. Immediately, a Secret Service agent would run forward, grab the cup, race back to the service car following the president’s, re-fill the beverage, then hustle back to hand it off to the Prez. Secret Service with a smile.

Ernest Hemingway – While he always portrayed himself to be a man’s man, Hemingway loved daiquiris. It’s true! The man who loved boxing, fishing and bull-fighting also loved syrupy drinks– particularly the ones made at the Floridita Bar in Havana, where they substituted maschino liqueur for sugar in the diabetic writer’s rounds.

Oprah Winfrey – Lemon Drop Martinis. What can you say? I guess all the money in the world simply can’t buy class. (Just kidding, Oprah. Let’s help the healing begin, though. Invite us on your show and we’ll talk through this.)

Rush Limbaugh – Nothing by Port wine for our portly friend.

Adam Clayton Powell – The first African American to become a major figure in Congress drank Scotch with a healthy shot of milk. Supposedly, the milk calmed his ulcers while the scotch worked on his nerves.

Winston Churchill – Despite being a big fan of martinis and having a mother who was responsible for the invention of the Manhattan cocktail, Churchy preferred sipping on Johnny Walker Red!

So, what about whiskey- that delicious drink of drinks?
Sure, you’ve seen it on the list above, but it’s still a dicey choice. Here’s a quick for and against:
FOR: Frank Sinatra loved him some Jack Daniels.
AGAINST: Janis Joplin. While she loved her Southern Comfort, and always carried a fifth on stage with her, she’s not exactly a ringing endorsement for drinking.
FOR: Hunter S. Thompson – Wild Turkey on the rocks. If you’re going for an authentic Thompson though, you might need to add pills to taste.
AGAINST: Saddam Hussein – While he asked for hot water laced with honey for his last meal, Hussein’s drink of choice was whiskey on the rocks.

Ha Ha Fox News Has It's Own Version of the "Daily Show"

New show coming up called the half hour news hour or something like that. It looks just like the Daily Show only with a conservative slant instead. I personally am conservative in the economic fashion and liberal in the social aspects, so it would be nice to see a comedy show that doesn't have a huge liberal slant on some stuff. But this show looks pretty bad...

[FILM & TELEVISION] Monty Python will never re-unite...

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds38031.html

Eric Idle says he will not be reuniting with his Monty Python co-stars any time soon.

Despite attempts by Michael Palin, the Spamalot star is not interested in getting together again to record new Python material.

According to BreakingNews.ie, Idle said: "All this talk about, 'You guys should get back together,' is a complete load of b**locks. And let's not forget, when we were together, there were lots of people who f**king hated us."


Oh well, enjoy this video of South Park ripping off Monty Python...

[TV]New TV Shows Round Up.

4 new TV shows caught my interest. If I didn't have a Tivo I wouldn't be able to find the time since I have a job that often requires me to work evenings and I just don't have the bandwidth to download a buncha stuff I don't even know if I like.

Strangely, 3 of the shows are on NBC. Studio 60, 30 Rock and 20 Good Years. Also strangely, The shows all have numbers in the names. Kind of reminds me of a time in the late 90's when every band had numbers in the name, Blink 182, SR71, and Project 86 come to mind. So, with out further adieu...

Freak Show. David Cross shares writing credits with a guy who has acted in the movie "New york minute". The show is pretty funny for a first episode and will offend the PC. It has some potty humor but also has some smart jokes so it all kind of evens out. David Cross does several voices and I think a guy who the voice for Coach Mcgirk from home movies does as a well. All in all worth checking out.

I couldn't find a video for freak show.

Studio 60. It's made by Aaron Sorkin who was responsible for "The West Wing". It is a drama about producing a comedy show. The writers have been spot on with some good plot twists in the first 30 episodes and I think the moments seem well scripted and believable. It gets better every episode so this one also gets my recomendation.

30 Rock. Is Tina Fey's new show about a sketch comedy show as well, this one is more about being funny. I have only seen the pilot and was a lil disappointed. It's not that is wasn't funny, it just could have had way more funnies. I do see alot of potential in it. I'll wait for a few more episodes with this one.

20 Good Years. Features John Lithgow(No references needed) and Jeffery Tambor(Arrested Development) and was also a little bit disappointing. The writers are basically unheard of the jokes were ok. 1 particularly funny moment featured John Lithgow in a tiny bathing suit. I dunno, maybe I just hate situation comedies. I will say that it's better than 90 of what's on television so I'll give it a chance.
