You ever have a day where you suddenly remember you have a blog.

I know updates have been very irregular as of late. I still have plans for the blog. There are things in the works that I hope to share with you soon.

So don't give up on the cave just yet...

best news story ever?

2010-07-15T09:30:00.000-04:00

PROVIDENCE — Animal-control officers, called to a house on Phebe Street Wednesday afternoon for a report of pet hoarding, witnessed a waterfall of dachshunds and Chihuahuas come spilling down the stairs from the second floor.

About 50 dogs, all but 3 of them of small breeds, were living in the single-family house at 77 Phebe St., said Jennifer Siakotos, a veterinary technician with the Providence Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Siakotos said all the dogs seemed to be in good shape and the house was relatively clean. But an ordinance does limit to three the number of adult dogs someone can have in the city.

Animal control officials from Pawtucket, East Providence and Providence took temporary custody of the animals until their care was further investigated, said Joseph Warzychi, an investigator for the SPCA.

The dogs were being cared for by a woman in her 40s who was living in the house and who began crying when the animal control officers arrived, said Siakotos.

Siakotos said the animal-control officers were standing in the living room when one of them asked the woman of the house if she had other dogs in the house. The woman told the animal control officers to close the door leading outside and then went upstairs and opened a door, effectively releasing the flood gate.

Siakotos said a flood of dogs came rushing down the stairs but none barked.

Pac-Man the tv series

2010-06-17T13:24:00.005-04:00

Spinoff is reporting that executive adviser for Namco Bandai Avi Arad wants to give Pac-Man his own brand new 3-D television series about hunting ghosts and exploring social topics of the 21st century.

“We wanted to keep Pac-Man the same lovable guy he has always been, but [put him] in the 21st century. … We [also] wanted to talk about real stories and … see how they can relate to our lives, being in high school and being a teenager. At the end of the day, it’s the story of a reluctant hero. …

“We feel we have a unique opportunity to have an action adventure, human interest story. … As a filmmaker, it’s a unique opportunity to get to know the characters you play. … We don’t know what happened to Pac-Man’s parents. He’s the only yellow one in Pac-Land; what does that mean? Is it a social statement? We’ll find out.”

The story would center on the fact that ghosts are trying to overtake Pac-Man’s world, and only Pac-Man — a high school student — can stop them, thanks to the assistance of four friendly ghosts. Studios have not been approached about the idea yet, as Arad and Namco want the 3-D to be done correctly before showing it to potential TV partners.

This new pacman show sounds like Secret Life of the American Teenager... maybe he should just become a new character on there.

I can see the scene...

dad: I demand to know! Who is the father of your baby!

daughter: Well its...

(Pacman walks in)

mom: I thought you were on the pill

daughter: He ate all the pills!

Mortal Reboot

2010-06-08T21:20:00.003-04:00

The Mortal Kombat movie franchise has been dead for quite awhile now. The first movie was actually pretty good but the second was dreadful. Now a reboot seems to be in the works. Its darker and gorier but is it a step in the wrong direction?

Lost Thoughts: The ultimate theory

2010-03-24T17:35:00.002-04:00

The ultimate LOST theory:

You had a caretaker on the island (may have been Adam or Job or someone we've never heard of) and you had the smoke monster(aka the Devil/evil) on the island. Esau forgives Jacob... they become friends again as in the bible and arrive on the island. The smoke monster tricks Esau into going down the dark path and killing the caretaker, he does.

So we get skeleton #1 with the white stone... Jacob becomes the new caretaker and has to kill his brother Esau to keep the evil on the island... so we get skeleton #2 with the black stone.

Now the smoke monster/devil is taking Esau's form... notice Jacob never calls him Esau because he is no longer his brother. If the balance of good vs evil should ever tip to evil the smoke monster would be unleashed on the world.

So what's the deal with the flashsideways/alternate timeline. Well this is a world where the evil escaped the island. Things are about to get very, very bad.

Lost Thoughts: The Smoke Monster

2010-03-23T23:48:00.000-04:00

"Please to meet you can you guess my name?"

As Lost speeds to a conclusion, the biggest question is just who is the Smoke Monster?

Well here are my best guesses:

1. Esau - The most obvious guess. Esau was betrayed by his brother Jacob and his mom in the Bible and vowed revenge. He was cheated out of his birthright (the island?). But how can he turn into a pillar of smoke or turn into dead people?

2. The Plague of the first born - Moses set many plagues against Egypt to free Jacob's people. The last was a plague to kill all the first born children. It would explain all the pregnancy issues on the island and why he can't kill Jacob (he wasn't a first born)

3. He really is the devil - He is always tempting people just like he did to Job. He is a manipulator. But how do you explain his mom issues or him saying he was once human. Maybe he is drawing from Locke's memories? Locke's mom was crazy.

In the Stephen King novels there is a recurring character that goes by many names (like Flagg in the Stand) but mostly goes by the Man in Black. He is the devil incarnate. The Lost writers are big Stephen King fans. Just saying.

4. He's some type of greek god like Hades or Cerebus. There's lots of Egyptian symbols on the island.

These are all off the top of my head. I'll think about it some more and maybe have a better answer next week.

Welcome to Sisko is Greater... a series where we put on our geek glasses and see what would have happened if Sisko was the Captain of the Enterprise instead of Picard.

This week's episode: I, Borg

Sisko would have implanted Hugh with the paradoxical mathematical construct.

Dead I Am Not

2010-03-03T12:01:00.002-05:00

Between moving, putting my house up for sell, a newborn niece in the hospital, LOST, massive snowstorms and the usual stuff, updating the blog has been the last thing on my mind.

I stumbled across a really cool site that I just had to share though.

http://www.kickstarter.com/
Its a website designed to help creative entrepreneurs (like me) to raise funds for their projects. I know I've said a lot about brothers gotta blog and stuff but side projects are afoot and you'll be hearing a lot more about them in the coming months.

eh

2010-02-19T20:52:00.000-05:00

Sometimes life just gets in the way of blogging. So the Alcave will stay in hibernation a little bit longer.

Once I get things back under control I'll start posting again.

Until then.

The Al Cave Season Three starts now

2010-01-04T11:11:00.003-05:00

Its a new year so its a new season on the Al Cave.

Here's some of the ideas I'm kicking around.

A new look: I might redesign the blog. I'm still debating. I was messing around with it last week and ended up losing half of my settings... whoops.

Updates: The plan for updates is monday through friday. No more time traveling posts, if I miss a day, I miss a day.

Unfinished content: I'll be reposting One Piece Week and the MST3K Turkey Day countdown in the coming weeks.

A new Focus: I'll still post funny stuff and comment on the news, but there will be a new focus on my side projects. Brothers Gotta Blog, I'm looking at you.

Well that's all for now.

Riff Trax Live 2 and Turkey week

2009-11-23T22:10:00.004-05:00

Its Turkey Week, so what better way to celebrate than to make fun of turkeys via MST3k. MST3k is mystery science theater 3000. It was a show that made fun of bad movies. This week I'll be listing my top 10 favorite episodes of the show.

There will also be a riff trax live show on December 16th and 17th. I'm planning on attending the 17th show at Tinseltown if anyone wants to tag along.

al has the flu but which flu is it?

2009-11-09T19:07:00.002-05:00

Well the doctor has ordered me to stay home at least until Thursday while they determine if I have swine flu or flu flu. I would take this time to tackle the huge blog backlog but I feel like poodoo. Maybe tomorrow.

So instead I've been finishing up tv series online. I just wrapped up Spectacular Spiderman (so good) and Wolverine and the X-Men. Next up is One Piece. Any other shows I should get caught up on while I have the time?

One Flu over the Cuckoo's Nest

2009-11-08T13:42:00.002-05:00

The dreaded flu bug has hit. I've been sick since last Friday. Not sure if its the piggy flu or not.

i will finish the "Give One Piece a Chance" campaign. Just need a chance to get back on my feet.

One Piece is but a dream

2009-11-04T19:41:00.003-05:00

Everyone has dreams. Some of us chase them and some of us put them off for another day that never comes. And still fewer actually achieve their dreams.

Luffy's crew are all chasing their own dreams. And they won't stop until they achieve them.

Luffy wants to be King of the Pirates. In fact he'll tell you this in practically every episode. Zoro wants to be the greatest swordsman. Nami wants... I'll let you find out the other dreams.

The crew won't let anything get in their way but the dreams don't come without a price.

But maybe just maybe they'll find what they are looking for at the end of their voyage

and we'll be there rooting them on. Well I don't know about you but I'll be there.

Tomorrow we talk about Luffy's Nakama. What's a Nakama? Tune in tomorrow.

The tragedy of One Piece

2009-11-03T09:41:00.003-05:00

I'm not going to lie to you. One Piece can be downright silly. From snail phones to robots wearing speedos, the world of One Piece can be just plain nutty. But don't let that fool you. Like any good show, One Piece can have you laughing one moment and crying the next.

Every crew member on One Piece has a tragic past that affects their current motivations. Luffy's recklessness hurt someone he admired. Zoro made a promise that he can never fulfill. Usopp learned to lie to protect someone he loved. Sanji learned about true sacrifice. And Nami learned about doing what you hate to protect the ones you love.

I know I'm being vague on the details but I don't want to ruin it. Nami's backstory in particular is incredibly powerful.

Each one of these moments molded and shaped the crew into the people they are today. And out of these tragedies, the crew formed their life goals.

Which is what tomorrow is about, dreams.

An Overview of One Piece

2009-11-02T11:51:00.003-05:00

Since I've started this blog, I've heaped tons of praise on a japanese manga/anime called One Piece. Unfortunately, among my friends it seems like I'm the only one who watches it. I know many of you all saw the horribly edited Saturday morning version. I'm not talking about that version... I'm talking about the uncut version.

One Piece is better than Naruto. Its better than Dragon Ball Z. Its better that Full Metal Alchemist. Well... maybe not Full Metal Alchemist... but its pretty close.

All of this week I'm going to highlight why this show is so awesome. And hopefully by the end of the week you'll give it a chance.

One Piece tells the story of Gold Rogers, the king of the pirates. At his execution he told the world that he left all of this treasure in One Piece. So a new age of pirates was born.

One of those pirates is Monkey D. Luffy.

Luffy proclaims to anyone who will listen that he is going to be King of the pirates. Unfortunately he has no ship and more importantly no crew. So begins his quest.

This week I will only talk about the initial crew members of the Strawhat Pirates. There are many more crew members but I don't want to ruin the surprises along the way.

Luffy is the captain of the crew. He's goofy and reckless but can become serious at the drop of a hat. He also has a huge appetite. Luffy ate the gum gum fruit so he can stretch his body.

Zoro is the swordsman of the crew. He's a former bounty hunter and deadly serious. He has no sense of direction and usually sleeps off his wounds. Zoro uses a three sword style.

Nami is the ship's navigator. She's a thief and only cares about treasure. She can detect changes in the weather before they happen. She has no special abilities (at first)

Usopp is the crew's marksman. He's very cowardly and tells lies all the times (hence the long nose). He spends his time creating weapons and explosives.

Sanji is the chef of the crew. He always has his trademark cigarette and instantly falls in love with any woman he sees. He fights with his feet so he won't damage his hands.

Tomorrow we'll get into the tragic pasts of the Strawhats and find out just what motivates them.

Looney Bay: The Great Candy Commission

2009-11-01T14:58:00.000-05:00

Its missions week in Looney Bay.

Lesson: The Great Commission

Script: The Amazing Who missed Halloween due to the time change, so he asked Moody to give out free candy to everyone he saw. The Devil arrives and convinces Moody not to give out candy. Reasons included "They'll make fun of you", "He doesn't deserve candy", "He's different than you". At the end Moody missed out on great rewards because he didn't give out the free gift.

Thoughts: I hate to toot my own horn but this was a good script. Some weeks I write scripts and they go nowhere but this one was clear and on point.

Oh and John did a killer magic trick this week. I saw a few kid's heads explode. It was crazy.

Goofs: None

Overview: Good week.

Bound for Candy

2009-10-28T14:27:00.003-04:00

Just in time for Halloween, Fangamer has released one sweet Earthbound costume.

All for $54! Uh... nevermind

An Encouragement

2009-10-27T23:30:00.004-04:00

Let's face it, life is hard. This world can you beat you down. You might want to close yourself off from everyone. When that happens just remember...

Looney Bay: Black Light Sunday

2009-10-25T12:05:00.000-04:00

This week was the annual Black light sunday where we replace the regular light blubs with black light bulbs. We then play Nightmare before Christmas music. Its fun watching your retinas melt out of your head.

Lesson: It was inside that counts

Script: Sam makes fun of Mashed Potatoes. Hootenanny makes inside out potion that makes you change into what you are on the inside. The Clown poisons Sam and Red with the inside out potion. Sam turns into a goblin and Red turns into Nemo?

Thoughts: I always slip into Al Gore mode when I bring out Mashed Potatoes since they have the same voice. He started preaching about carbon emissions from jack-o-lanterns and underwear. I think its John's favorite character.

We also had Joker and Harley Quinn take over the children's church. Bat Kid showed up to stop them and was laughed out of the building. And then Super Granny beat Joker with a cane. No really.

Blunders: Nothing to report other than Jack Skellington singing during the prayer.

Overall: It was fun but I'm glad its over.

What ever happened to Cartoon Network?

2009-10-23T11:55:00.004-04:00

Disney bought Marvel and Nickelodeon bought the ninja turtles. So where does that leave Cartoon Network?

In a lot of trouble. Have you seen their lineup lately? Its mostly crummy reality shows and total drama whatever. True they have Batman: Brave and the Bold and Star Wars the Clone Wars... but Cartoon Network is nowhere near as great as it once was.

At least they still have Naruto...

Or not...

Naruto Shippuden starts on Disney XD this wednesday.

ruh roh.

He drives us bats!

2009-10-22T13:36:00.001-04:00

Batman Brave and the Bold on cartoon network did a musical episode and it airs Friday Night.

The best part is it features Neil Patrick Harris (DOOGIE!) as the the Music Meister!

End of an Era

2009-10-21T13:09:00.000-04:00

Peter Laird celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by selling the property to Nickelodeon.

Wait Wha?!?

And nothing will ever be the same.

Did someone say blogathon?

2009-10-16T09:13:00.002-04:00

Okay I've let the blog get way behind but I'm going to fix that in our first (and hopefully last) blogathon. Throughout the day Saturday I wll be posting most (if not all) of the missing blog posts. I'm over 30 posts behind so I've got a lot to talk about. There will also be a special post for last Tuesday with a big announcement.

Unless... life gets in the way once again Saturday in which case I'm going to become Amish and move to Tokyo.

See you Saturday.

Forced Lunches

2009-10-06T21:35:00.002-04:00

Well my overlords at work have decided to follow state law and make us take a 30 minute lunch whether we want to or not.

What will I do with this new found free time?

ONE PIECE!

I've been watching the Thriller Bark saga and it is just addictive zany action. I love it, can't get enough!

Whatever happened to AlCave Jones?

2009-09-28T10:13:00.002-04:00

And we're back!!!

Wow has it been 19 days since an update. Sorry about that. Overtime, computer viruses and people in the hospital kind of took precedence over the blog.

It has been my goal since July to have a blog update for every day. And that's still the goal. Over the next few weeks I will be doing "Missing Posts" for the days I missed. Some of them will be old news like Patrick Swayze dying and September 11th and what not. These are the posts I would have made that day if I had time.

When I finish making all 19 Missing Posts, I'll post an index list for easy access.

Thank you for your patience.

It probably won't be long until Jax and Matt have a blog...

To Tweet or not To Tweet

2009-09-09T21:20:00.002-04:00

I've been debating whether or not to start using twitter to advertise the blog.

So I put the question to you to reader. Do any of you use Twitter?

swamped

2009-09-08T17:28:00.001-04:00

I've been really swamped at work, hence all the blog delays.

Normal blogging will resume shortly.

Belated birthday presents rule!

2009-09-07T09:32:00.000-04:00

Its always fun getting belated birthday presents out of the blue.

A few weeks ago mom hooked me up with her IPOD touch and now she has ordered me this little gem:

Little King's Story (wii)

Mom rocks!

Looney Bay: Toy Circus

2009-09-06T09:20:00.003-04:00

This week John tried to break all of my transformers toys... I mean collectibles.

Lesson: Fruit of the Spirit (Joy)

Script: The mysteriously diabolical clown, opened a toystore and started selling transformers. Who knows where he go them from but I'm sure it was illegal. Sam starts begging Herm for money because he has to have the newest figure. But the figures don't bring joy and he has to buy another and another and another.

adlibs: I failed to realize that Sam wouldn't be able to pick up the toys since his hands didn't work so he had to bite all the toys. So we started adlibing that Sam was eating the transformers. Also we got to use the drawbridge to display the toys! We never use the drawbridge!

Blunders: John dropped a couple of the transformers and they exploded into pieces. Luckily the newer transformers just pop back together. The old ones from the 80's would have been unable to be fixed.

Overall: Good day

What are time traveling posts?

2009-09-05T09:28:00.002-04:00

I try and have a new post day for every day of the week. Time traveling posts happen when I'm away from the computer and can't make that day's post. This weekend was full of time traveling posts because I had a pretty busy three day week.

And now you know...

eleven44

2009-09-04T09:14:00.000-04:00

Sometime last week little black and white signs with the phrase "eleven44.org" started popping up all over Louisville. I was curious so I visited the site. There's a mysterious countdown and a clue reading "ten4eleven44". There are also links to facebook and twitter.

What could it mean?

At first I thought it was a radio station since ten-4 is radio talk, but that doesn't work. AM stations end in 0 and FM stations are odd numbers.

Someone suggested that its the time of a church service... 11:44. Sounds weird but I guess plausible.

Maybe its a pattern, ten4, eleven44, twelve444?

Here is my guess. If you take ten4eleven44 and turn it into calculator upside talk you get: hhllhol or Hellhole. I knew it! Louisville is on top of a Hellmouth that is going to open in October. Someone call Buffy!

RIFFTRAX (not really) LIVE (at all)

2009-09-03T11:29:00.001-04:00

Yeah I heard your excuses. You had to work. It was your parent's anniversary. You had to give a hero's welcome to a WW2 vet.

The fact is you missed out on a night of great fun. Well the rifftrax crew has had pity on you.

Back by popular demand, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Fathom Events present RiffTrax: Plan 9 from Outer Space ENCORE on Thursday, October 8th at 7:30PM (local time).

Christmas draws near

2009-09-02T10:40:00.002-04:00

Today on the way to school, I was trying to point out to Jackson how close Christmas was. Now I'm not sure if the following is a failure on the public schools or on myself as his parent. More likely than not Jackson was just being silly.

Me: Jackson, do you know what comes after September?

Jackson: August.

Me: No, October. Do you know what's after October.

Jackson: Easter!

Me: No, Halloween. Do you know what's after Halloween?

Jackson: Easter!

Me: No! November. Do you know what's after November?

Jackson: Easter!

Me: No! Not Easter! Thanksgiving. Do you know what's after Thanksgiving?

Jackson: Easter!

Me: No, December! Do you know what's after December?

Jackson: Christmas!

Me: Right.

Jackson: And then Easter!

Me: Oh forget it.

the epic meeting

2009-09-01T10:37:00.002-04:00

Way back on October 31st, 2001, I got to meet Bruce Campbell at a book signing. I realized some of my newer friends have never seen the picture of this epic meeting. So here it is in all its glory.

Geez... I look scared to death.

DISNEY BUYS MARVEL

2009-08-31T21:40:00.001-04:00

Well that was unexpected.

The AlCave Action News Team presents our in depth coverage of this amazing announcement. In other words we make idle speculation that we can no way prove and is probably very, very wrong.

This is huge news, a win win. I'm hopeful that Disney will leave the comic book side of things alone. But there's an issue. A lot of Marvel's properties are at different movie studios.

Sony has Spider-man.
Fox has X-Men, Fantastic Four, Daredevil
Marvel Studios/Paramount have Captain America, Thor, Iron man, Antman, Hulk, and the Avengers.
New Line has Blade.
Lions Gate has Punisher.
Columbia Pictures has Ghost Rider.

Its a logistical nightmare. I'm sure Disney is going to do whatever it takes to get these movies back when contracts expire. So all of the heavy hitters are off the table, where does that leave Disney?

With a great library of secondary characters:

She Hulk
New warriors
Runaways
Thunderbolts
Exiles
Cloak and Dagger
Dr. Strange
The Inhumans
Agents of Atlas
Iron Fist
Luke Cage
Spider-Woman
Moon Knight

And that's just off the top of my head. Disney has 5,000 characters to choose from! 5,000!

Once they get the rights back from the other movie studios we could see a Secret Wars movie. Something that seemed impossible just a few days ago.

But wait there's more. There was a line of comics called Cross Gen that went under a few years ago. Guess who bought them? That's right Disney.

So does this mean that we'll see Disney comics produced by Marvel? Not necessarily. Disney has a deal in place right now with Boom! Studios. I wouldn't be surprised if BOOM! Studios isn't bought my Marvel/Disney in the near future.

As a Marvel Zombie, I'm pretty excited (and a little frightened) about this. The next few years for Marvel are going to be very interesting.

Looney Bay: Hate Monster In Training

2009-08-30T09:58:00.002-04:00

Was today a day of doom? Maybe...

Lesson: Fruits of the spirit (Love)

Script: Java and Lenny flood the town so everyone moves in with Sam and Herm. Herm gets very stressed. The Hate Monster decides that this is the perfect time to spread hatred. Unfortunately his son Winky, doesn't want to be a hate monster. He wants to be a balloonist and fire weiner dogs out of a canon at passing balloons. Herm loses it after all his stuff is broke so he kicks everyone out. Winky then offers to help Herm clean up, spreading love instead of hate.

Thoughts: Winky is a great addition to the cast. He talks like one of the Beatles. We'll definately be seeing him again.

Adlibs/blunders: Things were going along great until Ben went off script and screamed OMG. A big no no. Lenny tried to distract the kids by diving over the wall. Unfortunately none of the kids really reacted to Ben's OMG outburst. Kinda sad really.

Oh and Jonathan went crazy with adlibs again at the end of the script. I think he has tourettes.

Overall: Great day until Ben's outburst.

Not much to say

2009-08-29T09:52:00.001-04:00

Not much to say today so...

Turtles Forever

2009-08-28T09:20:00.004-04:00

I'm eagerly awaiting an upcoming TMNT special Turtles Forever. Its a crossover between the 1987 cartoon and the 2003 series. Basically the final episode for both series. They are still debating if it will be a tv or a direct to dvd special. Here's a sweet poster for it.

CONVOLUTED

2009-08-27T17:03:00.002-04:00

I swear today has been the most convoluted day ever.

I would be surprised if I was attached by ninja raccoons on the way home.

See, what I'm going on about. That doesn't even make sense.

And what is this?

Look I don't even care anymore.

Equal time

2009-08-26T00:53:00.003-04:00

Since I made a post about Matthew yesterday, its only fair to do a Jackson post today.

You know, in 10 years Jackson will be driving, kinda scary.

I have nothing to worry about, right?

Happy 100th birthday Matthew

2009-08-25T14:48:00.002-04:00

Oh wait, I made a typo.

That should say "Happy 100th Birthday Matthew". There much better.

Well kid you survived year one. Congratulations. It only gets harder from here.

If Jackson messes with you, you have my permission to bop him in the nose.

Music for your tv

2009-08-24T14:35:00.001-04:00

Ever watch a tv show with great music and think I would really like that on my mp3 player. Well you're in luck.

I found this nifty little site called www.televisiontunes.com. They have tons of music from just about any show you can think of. I found some nifty music from Phineas and Ferb, futurama, and Scrubs. Right click and save as to download.

And its all free!

Looney Bay: Masters of Hiccup-fu

2009-08-23T10:27:00.002-04:00

Another week, another miracle of Jesus. I'm the only person who can make miracles sound ho-hum. :p

Biblical Lesson: Jesus heals the sick.

Script: Herm's perfect day is ruined by horrible hiccups. The other puppets offer a variety of solutions from being fired out of a catapult to sniffing a shark tail. Herm asks for a miracle but the frog tells him the only one who can perform miracles is Jesus.

Thoughts: Jesus did some amazing things in the Bible, but they are hard to write scripts around. I had thought about doing a script about Bogus the Possum being a faith healer before finally settling on Herm gets the hiccups. Hopefully next week we'll do something out of the old testament.

Ad Libs/Blunders: Herm's hiccups got rather ridiculous. Jonathan tried to adlib with the frog, it made no sense whatsoever.

Overall: Okay day.

You can't keep a good anime down

2009-08-22T13:04:00.002-04:00

There's a new anime based on Fullmetal Alchemist airing in japan. Its called Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Unlike the original anime, this one closely follows the plot of the manga. We have no clue when these will be dubbed and brought to America.

Fortunately for you, you can watch them now in Japanese and subbed at the official site!

Check it out

You can also view the current One Piece episodes as well!

Fun Fact 08/21/2009

2009-08-21T11:42:00.001-04:00

Forgot to mention, before the RiffTrax Live they were showing the typical movie facts and mistakes.

So here's what one said:

Movie Mistakes:

Casting Keanu Reaves in "The Day the Earth Stood Still"

There were other silly facts/mistakes but that was the best one.

Adding To My List

2009-08-21T09:34:00.004-04:00

Went to Riff Trax Live last night. It was a blast!

They opened with footage of the theater in Nashville, showing the crowd and what not. Then the riff crew came out and did introductions and assured us this was all really live and anything could happen or go wrong.

We then watched the short The Flying Stewardess. It was an awful short about how to be a stewardess but the riff crew made it oh so hilarious.

They then gave away an IPod.

We then watched a commercial for the Flour & Mill convention. It was hilarious and created by the guys over at somethingawful.com.

We then had 2 songs from Jonathan Coulton: The Future Soon and Re: Your Brains. It was fun having a zombie sing along with the all theaters across the nation while Kevin Murphy tried to act like a zombie.

We then had another somethingawful commercial for BerryWatch, a security system for your strawberries, blueberries, etc.

Then the rifftones came out and sang "Plans 1-9 from Outer Space".

Finally we had the riffing of Plan 9 from Outer Space. It was fun watching the riffers get tickled at certain points during the movie. The movie is so bad, you can't help but laugh.

A really fun night and I would encourage you to go next time if you missed it. There were a few technical hiccups. We lost the live feed a few times, but only for a second or two.

I guess I can add another Great Moments in Al History to my list:

1. Met Snoopy
2. Fed Shamu the whale
3. Saw Zsa Zsa Gabor in person though no one believes me (or was it Eva)
4. Rode the Scooby Zoom
5. Saw the naked cowboy and some guy covered in tin foil in time square
6. Met Bruce Campbell
7. Mannheim Steamroller concert.
8. Midnight showing of Star Wars Episode 3, opening night.
9. Weird Al concert.
10. Riff Trax live.

Fun Fact of the Day

2009-08-20T15:53:00.003-04:00

Today we look at a fun fact from my favorite disney movie, Old Yeller.

They had to film the finale of Old Yeller 17 times, because Tommy Kirk kept wounding the dogs and not getting a kill shot.

Okay it was joke... chill out! I never liked your stupid movie anyway. Geez.

Stupid dog.

First day of school

2009-08-19T17:04:00.002-04:00

Jackson started school today. Is he ready for school?

and more importantly is the school ready for Jackson?

Riff Trax Reminder

2009-08-18T16:59:00.002-04:00

Bought my tickets tonight for Riff Trax. Remember its this Thursday night. For those who don't know, Riff Trax are made by some former members of MST3k. They are basically commentary tracks for popular movies that are riffing the movie.

Don't miss it or you'll have to answer to these guys.

Its Monday... be happy

2009-08-17T12:38:00.005-04:00

It's Monday!

I'm starting a new thing on the blog where I try and post something happy on Mondays to brighten your day.

Oh wait. Crud! This is a time travelling post. I'm actually posting this on Tuesday... I think I may have broken the space time continuum or something?

Oh well, hope your Monday was a happy one.

Looney Bay: The Dead Parrot Script

2009-08-16T12:12:00.000-04:00

This week we tackle the tricky subject of raising people from the dead

Biblical Lesson: Jesus raises Lazareth from the dead.

Script: Baby dinosaur is lonely and upset that he is the last of the dinosaurs. Victor Vulture comes up with a scheme to trick baby dinosaur out of money. He claims he can raise the dead. The plan is to pretend that Salty the parrot is dead and then have Victor say the magic words and bring him back to life. Easy enough. Unfortunately Salty doesn't realize that dead birds can't talk and the whole plan quickly falls apart.

Thoughts: This was a tricky subject to write a script about. The monty Python title only occurred to me after I had written 3/4ths of the script. The magic words that Victor used to raise the dead came from Thundercats: "Ancient Spirits of Evil, transform this decayed bird to Salty, the ever-living!"

Ad Libs/Blunders: A kid called out that John was performing Salty the Parrot. Then the kids explained how John's magic trick worked. Darn kids.

Overall: Fun script

Why aren't you watching The Mighty Boosh?

2009-08-15T11:58:00.006-04:00

The Mighty Boosh is a quirky British comedy. It follows the adventures of the egotistical Howard Moon and the outrageous Vince Noir. They are usually accompanied by the enigmatic Naboo and Bolo the monkey. Basically if Monty Python and H.R. Pufnstuf had a kid it would look like this.

I've only seen six episodes. In those six episodes I've encountered Killeroos, Monkey Hell, Beta Max Tape Monsters, Coconut People, the moon, and people trapped in cabinets. Yes its weird, but its oh so funny.

Be warned that this show is not for kids and often contains adult humor.

The Mighty Boosh airs on Adult Swim Sunday's at 1 am and is available on demand and online.

Riff Trax Live (sorta)

2009-08-14T11:51:00.002-04:00

Mike and the gang are doing live riff trax in Nashville and then broadcasting it to theaters across the country next thursday, August 20th.

They'll be showing Plan 9 from Outer Space plus a brand new short. There will also be digital giveaways. And yes Tinseltown is participating.

The Real GI Joe

2009-08-11T22:02:00.005-04:00

I recently reviewed GI Joe: the Rise of Cobra and was pretty generous. I gave the movie 2 and a half stars. Well I'm taking those stars back after I saw this little gem.

The Ballad of G.I. Joe from Olivia Wilde

Better costumes, better cast and all with a smaller budget. I know its a parody but this is GI Joe. The characterizations are spot on. Hollywood once again proves its clueless. This is what we want, not some wimpy movie about an international peace keeping force wearing power ranger's costumes battling the MARS corporation. A movie too scared to put Cobra Commander in costume because we don't want to offend.

Mr. Sommers are you listening?

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go watch Destro and Baroness practice the clarinet.

Bone Returns

2009-08-10T11:55:00.001-04:00

At comic-con Jeff Smith announced some new Bone projects!

From the official Bone Website:

Last night I announced two new BONE projects; BONE: Tall Tales and BONE: Quest for the Spark.

Tall Tales, pictured above, is a major repackaging of a book I did with Tom Sniegoski a few years ago called Stupid, Stupid Rat-Tails. This new book, which takes place after the Bones have returned to Boneville, revolves around Smiley and Bartleby telling tales around a campfire to a group of young Bone Scouts (their names are Ringo, Bingo, & Todd!).

One of the tales will be the long out of print story I did for Disney Adventures that was not in the BONE books, and will now be returned to the BONE cannon with a beautiful coloring job by Steve Hamaker. Another will be the The Adventures of Big Johnson Bone, Frontier Hero, which appeared in black & white as Stupid, Stupid Rat-Tails. Tom Sniegoski, who wrote SSRT, has written two new Johnson Bone stories, both of which are pretty incredible. All now in glorious Hamaker colors! I will be writing all the new Smiley and Bartleby stuff.

BONE: Quest for the Spark is a slightly different kind of thing. It is not a comic; it’s a novel. A series of three novels written by Tom Sniegoski that follow a new generation of Bone characters into the Valley.

I was a bit unsure about this project when Tom first suggested it, but when I read the first book I laughed so hard, I agreed to do it. Scholastic was so blown away by it, that they decided to make it available in hardcover and wanted the illustrations, of which I think I’m going to do about twenty, full bleed and in color.

While not an official sequel to my comic, it will be fun to see some the characters again, like the stupid rat creatures, and Roderick the racoon.

BONE: Tall Tales is scheduled for Summer of 2010, and BONE: Quest for the Spark volume one, is set for 2011.

Looney Bay: The Snake Hunter

2009-08-09T21:30:00.002-04:00

Its sunday so you know what that means.

Biblical Lesson: Jesus walking on the water

Script: A snake is loose in Looney Bay and Church Mouse is scared to death. The Amazing Who hypnotizes Church Mouse into not being scared. Church Mouse proceeds to beat the mess out of the snake. Amazing Who then informs Church Mouse that he really didn't hypnotize him. Church Mouse loses faith and the snake starts chasing him, until the owl shows up.

Thoughts: I'm still recovering from Al Flu so I was going to write myself out of the script. Somehow I ended up writing myself in every scene. Whoops.

Ad Libs/Blunders: I'm still trying to name the owl. This week I had Church Mouse call him Hooty which caused Church Mouse to break out into Hooty and the Blowfish songs. Back to the drawing board.

Overall: Okay day

No Joe!

2009-08-08T13:49:00.006-04:00

Thursday I recommended giving the GI Joe movie a chance... I sure hope you didn't listen to me.

Full spoilers below.

So the movie opens with the line "In the not to distant future..." at which point my brother and I both broke out into the Mystery Science Theater 3000 theme song. Not a good sign.

The movie is non stop action and doesn't make a lick of sense. I thought the bad guys were cool but the Joes were horrible. Besides Scarlett and Snake Eyes I wanted them all to die a painful death. Especially Duke... he was boring as all get out. Horrible actor, they should have cast Brendan Fraiser instead.

Then we had Breaker, the arabic geek on the team. He was one of the most whiny characters ever and I kept expecting to see him in a dress. It was ridiculous.

Heavy Duty was okay but never really did anything.

And then we had Ripcord played by Mr. Wayans. The klutzy comedy relief. He ends up hooking up with Scarlet (what?!?). Half the time he seemed to be in love with Duke. Seriously I thought they should have almost gotten married instead of Duke and Baroness.

Yeah that's right there's a whole love story between Duke and Baroness that falls apart due to her kid brother dying but not really dying.

Oh and the plot... well Destro develops a weapon for nato and then steals it but then needs to kidnap a civilain scientist (Baroness's husband (not Duke)) to weaponize it since he can't do it himself being a weapon's designer and all.

Oh and we never hear the word Cobra until the last 15 minutes of the movie... What?

The movie is watchable and even entertaining at points but quickly falls apart over and over due to shoddy writing and accelerator suits. It was kinda like someone saw an episode of GI Joe Sigma 6 and thought this would be a great movie. The last 30 minutes are decent enough but the movie ends with Cobra Commander and Destro being captured and Baroness switching sides.

I give it 2 and a half stars out of 5. Not the worst movie I've seen but it could have been so much better. I know this movie was rushed out the door due to the writer's strike so I tell you what. Hire new writers and recast the Joe team and I'll think about seeing the sequel... I'll think about it... no promises.

I'm eagerly awaiting the riff trax. If you want to watch a great GI Joe move, please watch GI Joe Resolute instead and wait for this one to air on FX.

Don't you forget about me

2009-08-07T13:05:00.007-04:00

John Hughes died of a heart attack yesterday.

Another architect of my childhood is gone. Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the Home Alone series, Planes Trains & Automobiles, the Vacation series. So many great movies that I watched over and over again as a child, especially Ferris Bueller.

John Hughes you're my hero and you'll be missed.

And knowing is half the battle

2009-08-06T10:15:00.003-04:00

As a child of the 80's (actually late 70's but close enough) I was obviously a huge fan of GI Joe. The cartoons, the characters, the toys, it was all good. The plot was simple. GI Joe (America) vs the Cobra (the bad guys). That's all you needed to know. Cobra was always going to have some crazy plot involving weather dominators or red rocket burgers and the Joes were always going to be there to stop him.

Then came change. Two new characters were added: real life Sgt. Slaughter and Serpentor. I liked these two, but I missed the days when Cobra Commander was running things. This was followed by an abysmal animated movie featuring Cobra LA and Cobra Commander turning into a snake. What had happened to my Joes?

Soon GI Joe returned with new episodes by a new production company. The show was turned into a cheaply animated comedy and beyond ruined. At the same time the toyline completely ran out of gas with crappy characters like the Ice Cream Soldier.

I was done with GI Joe... or so I thought.

It was around this time that my brother Tim and I discovered GI Joe comics. This was during the gulf war and the body count was through the roof. This was definately not the cartoon show. I soon refell in love with these cool characters especially Snake Eyes. All thanks to one man Larry Hama.

And that is why I'm giving the movie a chance. Larry Hama served as a consultant on the film. He has given the movie his blessing. He wrote every issue of the GI Joe marvel comic run. Everything you love about GI Joe is because of him.

Sure people hate the accelerator suits in the movie. But there was a lot of silly sci fi going on in the old cartoon, so lets overlook that.

Check out the cast: Dennis Quaid, Ray Park, Mr. Eko, Christopher Eccleston, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sienna Miller, Arnold Vosloo. That's a heck of a cast. On the other hand you have Marlon Wayans... but I think the good outweighs the bad.

Now some (myself included) have complained about how Cobra Commander looks. Well apparently this is just a temporary suit and he'll have his classic duds in the next movie.

So what am I saying? Give this movie a chance. Will the movie be perfect, no. Will you have fun, probably. We could be seeing the birth of a really cool franchise here but it will never happen if no one goes and sees it. I for one would love to see the dreadknocks, Shipwreck, BATS, Serpentor, the twins, Springfield, and more. But we'll only get that if we get a sequel.

Sick days be gone - and the storm clouds lifted

2009-08-05T11:56:00.003-04:00

I'm at about 85% today so this will be our last sick day on the blog. It looks like the flood waters have subsided as well. Lets step outside and see what's going on.

Screw you sun! At least the moon gets my name right!

Normal posting resumes tomorrow with my thoughts on the GI Joe movie.

Al Flu Day 7

2009-08-04T13:40:00.006-04:00

I think I'm finally starting to recover from the accursed flu. The last week has been kind of a blur. What did I miss...

Apparently there was a flood last night... and for some reason I'm a turtle... riding a bike... again. >:(

Al Flu - Day 6

2009-08-03T16:56:00.002-04:00

Day 6 and I'm still sick but I was dumb enough to go to work. Yay me. Meanwhile on the homefront the rest of the crew have all been hit hard by the Al Flu. Matthew mostly lays around and moans like a zombie. Jackson on the other hand has momentary bouts of hyperness. Poor Andrea is stuck at home in the middle of it while trying to get well herself. Here's a pic to explain what I mean.

Here we see Andrea offering the boys their medicine.

Try to figure out which squirrel is which kid.

Christmas Delayed until March 2010

2009-07-30T14:33:00.001-04:00

(Taken from a post by Kobun Heat at the Neogaf boards)

HEAVEN, The Infinite Cosmos -- Citing concerns about the economic downturn, the holiday of Christmas has been delayed to March 2010, representatives of Heaven said today.

Ordinarily held on December 25, the most holy Birthday of our Lord and Savior Jesus, who is also the Christ, the holiday will now be bumped back to an unspecified spring date before the end of Heaven's fiscal year, which ends on March 31.

"The holiday season has really been getting packed, and we think our product is going to get lost in the shuffle," said Yahweh, God The Almighty Most High in an emailed statement today.

"I mean, seriously, have you seen those night vision glasses for Modern Warfare 2? I already have a gloriously perfect view of all beings across the indescribably vast infinity of time and space, but those things are sick," said God.

Reports that Heaven's next major release, Easter, would be delayed until fall 2010 were unconfirmed as of press time.

What is Epic Mickey? (Updated)

2009-07-29T15:35:00.004-04:00

IGN and other sites have found some video game artwork for an upcoming wii game. Epic Mickey is described as a futuristic apocalyptic steampunk disney adventure. No one is sure if the game is still in production but I sure hope so.

Click to enlarge.

Founds some more pics on the NEOGAF Board.

Reminds me a lot of the upcoming movie 9.

Judging from the pics (especially the last one) looks like something really bad happened to Disney World. Nuclear bomb? Something escape from the haunted mansion? And the only thing left unchanged were the 1930's characters locked away in the vault.

I'm not sure if the next 2 pics are related to the game but they were done by the same concept artist.

One last dance before we go

2009-07-28T15:24:00.003-04:00

ABC Family may have cancelled The MiddleMan, but that doesn't mean the story is over.

The cast and crew of the cult (soon to be) classic the MiddleMan gathered at Comic Con for one final script read. The story will be released later this year as a new comic book graphic novel.

And if you've never seen the MiddleMan, do yourself a favor and check out the dvds.

AAALLLVVVIIINNN!!!

2009-07-27T14:33:00.003-04:00

VICIOUS killer chipmunks that escaped from a British park four years ago have never been found - and could now have bred into a horde thousands strong, The Sun can reveal.

The news will confirm experts' worst fears that the disease-ridden rodents, which are plaguing northern France, have already established themselves in numbers here.

About 30 of the deadly critters went on the run from Wellington Country Park on the Hampshire/Berkshire border in 2005.

Eighteen died and eight more were found or shot - but disturbingly FOUR remained free.

At the time Defra - the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, said they were wanted "dead or alive", because of the threat they posed to the countryside and native wildlife.

They can also carry Lyme disease, which targets the nervous system and can be fatal to humans, and even rabies.

With chipmunks reproducing at alarming rates there could be hundreds or thousands here now.

In France their numbers have swelled to 100,000 after just 17 were freed from a park in 1980.

The Sun reported last week how Britain has been invaded by deadly chipmunks pouring in to the country from France - and how one attacked a pet cat TWICE its size in Staffordshire.

Chipmunk breeder Sharon Balchin, 50, from Potters Bar, Herts, said: "It's a worry. Chipmunks will have no problem surviving. There is enough food for them."

A Defra spokeswoman said: "If chipmunks become invasive there is a big threat to our wildlife."

Looney Bay Reviews: Moose Flu/The Great Debate

2009-07-26T14:31:00.001-04:00

The blog returns to normal this week with 2 Looney Bay Puppet show reviews:

First up we have "Moose Flu"

Biblical Lesson: Your sins will find you out

Script: Moose Flu has hit Looney Bay and the moose have been quarantined. Red and Fred, the two brothers from North Dakota, love mooses and pay Amoose a visit. Amoose sneezes on Red and soon the virus spreads. Red and Fred end up quarantined.

Thoughts: Jonathan and Ben took over the roles of Red and Fred. They did a pretty good job. Red and Fred are very hit and miss. Some weeks the kids love them and sometimes they don't. The kids seemed a bit bored with them.

Ad Libs/Blunders: Red and Fred's sneezing fit was pretty darn funny.

Overall: Kinda blah but its a Red and Fred script so what do you expect.

"The Great Debate"

Biblical Lesson: The Tower of Babel

Script: Its debate day in Looney Bay so everyone is having debates. Dr. Hootenanny has just developed Jibber Jabber juice. A struggle breaks out between the doctor and his pet owl and the juice is knocked into the city's water. Now everyone is talking jibberish except for Java. Turns out that pigs are immune to jibber jabber juice so a cure is found.

Thoughts: Everyone was pretty wore out from VBS so we did a light script. I can't tell if the kids are getting tired of Dr. Hootenanny and the hoot owl. I'll probably give them a break.

Ad Libs/Blunders: Kids were pretty rowdy. Probably do to VBS.

Overall: Fun script.

Going Postal

2009-07-25T08:25:00.000-04:00

The accountant has gone postal
leave now before he gives out junk mail.
He's handing out past due bills
and ads for a mattress sale.

The police were soon called
and told him to stop trying to send
that's when the police dog got hungry
and bit his rear end.

The accountant no longer sends mail
after his dignity was stolen
by a hungry police dog
who left him with a semi colon.

The day the tv's died

2009-07-24T08:24:00.000-04:00

The tvs died, one by one.
It was suicide the detective wrote.
The cause, reality tv of course.
The tvs could take no more.

The people were frightened.
What would they do?
Be creative, go for a walk
or even meet the neighbors and have a talk.

How about a book someone suggested.
That sounded like fun but there's a problem.
No one can find the remote
or how to turn one on.
