Fox owns the distribution rights to A New Hope forever, and the rights to the other five movies until 2020. Given that the unaltered versions of the movies are pretty much a holy grail, I'm sure Fox would demand a lot of money in exchange for giving Disney that license to print cash.

I don't quite understand this. Does Fox's ownership pertain strictly to theatrical distribution or theatrical and video? Because of Fox are the rights holders for the video release why don't they just put out the original versions themselves?

The Cable Guy is basically a proto-Punch Drunk Love in that it's a established comedy actor playing a similar character that he usually does but in a more grounded context which really brings out how broken of a person the character is.

Also don't skip the fourth, The Hunt for Green October, if you like the first two. It has Big Head vs. neo-Nazis. It's exactly as loving amazing as that sounds and should have been the sequel to the movie instead of Son of the Mask.

e: nevermind, apparently it was never actually collected outside of the omnibus, which is a shame because it's probably the best Mask arc on the whole. You can get the floppies for relatively cheap on Amazon and it's piss easy to :filez:, though.

A lot of the original individual issues of the material in the second omnibus are like 2-3 bucks a piece. I'm really not sure why the omnibus editions are so expensive if the original issues aren't rare or valuable.

It depends on what it is.

And literally any other professional comic would have managed to bounce back from that without a problem. Like you think Chris Rock would have stalled for time by pointing out famous people in the audience?

Jimmy Fallon is a talentless hack and he either sold his soul to Satan or is sucking a very important person's cock every day to get where he is. I can't wrap my mind around how he is successful or famous. Aside from being devoid of any comedic ability he just seems really unnatural in front of a camera like he's constantly going t piss his pants and he's been on tv for like 15 years.

Manson occupies that no-man zone between horrible shithead music on one side and more objectively just better music on the other. He's always toured with lovely bands (minus Slayer and NIN) and seems to either not give a poo poo about who he plays with or he himself has horrible personal taste in music.

Then you have Reznor, who seems to just bring on tour whoever he's really into at the time and they're not bands your typical NIN fan likes. I saw QOTSA, fuckin Autolux, Peaches, TV on the Radio, and Bauhaus open for NIN (when i saw him in Chicago the Dresden Dolls opened tho and that was terrible). Its like how Kurt Cobain felt this responsibility to bring bands on tour with him that he personally loved and had no obligation to cater to the lovely tastes of most Nirvana fans.

I cant imagine your typical Ozzfest concert goer being into a pasty dude prancing around in a corset on stage while singing pretty feminine lyrics. There were a lot of people in my small little town that were sure that I had to be gay because I really loved Mechanical Animals when it came out (still do).

That image was the first thing I though about after the title so if we can find a workable way of doing it properly we probably will. The gender swap is also partially motivated by the fact that we have a planned series of sketches with a female main character and we thought we might retrofit this one into that one.

I haven't actually looked it up but I bet there is a shitload of dildos that are hollow and designed for ejecting things but I somehow expect they are insanely expensive and that most of them are freaky alien tentacle dragon dongs.


Currently we are working on doing a almost remake of this scene:
