Kiwichx: I can't understand the longevity of Tim & Eric's crapfest. Their li'l puppetshow would be booed-off the average campus. Who are they blowing to sustain 15 minutes of nauseous filler? God, someone please--pretty please--resurrect MST3K. I'm also a fan of 12 OUNCE MOUSE (most especially when I'm loaded-up with a shot of Brandy and a puff of the green stuff--can't find the latter, there's a serious deficiency in this Mayberry region); unfortunately, this surreal little series (the cheapest animation since CLUTCH CARGO) is buried somewhere in the network's graveyard shift. And, yeah, THE VENTURE BROTHERS rocks (though, dammit it all, it's perpetually eclipsed by THE FAMILY GUY).
BigNorm: Hey, I'm your girl, amigo. The producer is obsessed with an 'ole California Star video called COUNT TICKULA. The gorgeous Julia Parton was so vulnerable to the tickling applications that she nearly passed out; the director, Tony Sinclair, told me that the cameras had to be "shut down so we could 'resuscitate' Julia, she was painfully ticklish and gasping for air." These contretemps are evinced in the erratic editing of some scenes. Anyway, they're embellishing my RED RIDING HOOD video with more excruciating, tickle-related sadism ("they" really wanna match the intensity of COUNT TICKULA); one version is shot in a "special optical process" that prompts a sort of interactive hubris. And--yeah, bro--Adult Swim is sweet relief from lousy reality shows, predictable politics and SNL boredom (enough about Tina Fey, she's Nancy Kulp incarnate).
tikled58: Our initial Dr. Ticklestein production, RED RIDING HOOD, is supposed to debut no later than Halloween (though I think early November will be more likely). Please check-out some of our production stills at
http://drticklestein.com/polaroids Thanks, so much, for the kind words.
isabeau: If you ever visit the States, please lemme know! We could knock down a few cold ones at the local Cat's Eye. Forgive me, but do you have access to Scottish movie posters? I collect this sort of movie memorabilia (see below) but I've been heir to nothing from your native country! I hope this request doesn't appear imprudent (the least of my intentions), I was just curious. In regard to being in my prime, today's my birthday. My producer has invited me to a "sumptuous buffet" to celebrate; I'm sure that I'll hear that familiar refrain, "Do you want fries with that?"
