CLASH OF THE TITANS!! Where
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
Sweet jumping Jesus. I have got to go to this show. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. This is going to be the Ragnarok of Comedy, and if I’m not there, I will be forced to set myself on fire. Repeatedly.
Check this out:
Harry/Gang-
Long time listener first time caller, just call me Jack Sawyer.
Went to the Mr. Show LIVE "Hooray for America" show at the lovely Warfield theatre in San Francisco last night, and they announced a benefit show they're doing with Kids in the Hall, Janeane Garafalo, and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
The details are RIGHT HERE!!
BTW- the show freakin rocked, catch it if you can if it comes near you.Seriously. I will not rest until I have my ticket in my hand. I suppose Ticketmaster’s website would be step one. And since I posted this, that means I know before most of you... so maybe I can still get a seat!! BWAHAHAHAHAH!!
"Moriarty" out.

first?
Seriously though, it's about damn time The Kids did something together again. Maybe this will lend a little impetus towards something those of us who aren't in SF can see... -
Without hyperbole, this sounds like the best thing to ever happen anywhere, ever.
-
I weep because there is no possible way in this world that I could attend this show. I weep tears of ultimate sadness...please, for the love of all that is good, take this show on the road!
-
Why must I be denied the pleasure of seeing this show! why Lord why...oh God please let someone record this, release it on DVD, release a bootleg VHS, show it on Comedy Central even. PLEASE!
-
seatin' in the 100 dollars a seat section.
-
...If you feel like paying an extra 25% of the ticket price just for the honor of using their service. How much of their profits does Ticketmaster give to the charity?
-
OK, maybe that's a LITTLE overstated. But really, it's so hard to shock nowadays -- to truly "rock the boat". Triumph boarders on uncomfortable raunch, and comic genius. Now if only Rob can figure out how to keep that cigar in his mouth!
-
Dream on.

The studio pulled a Blade Runner with Pootie Tang when they stuck a narration over the movie and hipped it up in editing with too much editing. The director, Louis C.K., is a regular contributor to Robert "Triumph" Smigel's TV Funhouse shorts, and has written for Conan, Chris Rock and The Dana Carvey Show. www.louisck.com

Ain't it cool news? Not today it ain't. The ole' bait and switch it is. Maybe though some producer out there will try to revive the "Clash of the Titans" movie, a remake or something, if theye relize ther's a market for it?
-
...But he does not own Triumph's. He just sniffs it.
-
Kids in the Hall AND Mr.Show AND Triumph??!!! Good sweet lord, the only way this could get any better is if Monty Python got involved!(hint hint)
-
Llllet's get ready to rrrrrumble!!!
-
and they're American. So Hooray for America!
There needs to be a massive State Reunion or re issue of their stuff very soon.
As for anybody who doesn't think this is cool news, then you don't know what comedy is at all. -
fuck KITH, Mr Show, The State, and janeane garofalo. they're so 1990's. it's time for a new generation of comics and groups to emerge.. really.. fuck them niggas. and oh, "RUN RONNIE RUN" SUCKED. Funny how these comics complain about the mediocrity of hollywood comedies, then can't even make a film on that level...
-
I'm not joking. I don't mean that with any sort of irony. I want to make love to Jeanine Garafalo.
-
Seriously, I would go just to see that cute little puppy! Thank God I live in LA! Too bad I'm poor and had to buy the cheap tickets. It makes that Ticketmaster charge all the more outrageous.
-
I love living up here in Edmonton. Actually, I'm closer to LA than Toronto. BUT FUCK!!!! WHY OH WHY MUST I LOVE GREAT COMEDY LIKE THIS ONLY TO MISS IT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I LIVE IN A CITY THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS HOTH!? sorry.
-
Every time I read news such as this, I hate Wisconsin that much more. Why couldn't my parents have fucked somewhere cool? Wisconsin of all places!!!! Anyway, I'm glad I got to see Mr. Show when they showed up in Madison last weekend (thank Bog for college towns!), even though we almost didn't make it to the show! McCormic...if you want Janeane you're gonna have to get through me first, bub. SWEET JEEBUS, do I want that woman! To those who don't think this is cool news, all I have to say is SHUT UP! You're stupid! You're not Kung Fu!!! Put yer foot jackets on and haul yer ass on out the door! Lastly, I finally saw FRAILTY last night and it was pretty damn good. That's all I got. Later.

Americans aren't funny, huh?....
Bob Odenkirk, David Cross, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Wes Anderson, Matt Groening, Farrally Brothers, The Wayans Brothers, Jeanane Garafalo, Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Jim Carey, Tom Kenny, Jill Talley, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, Dennis Miller, Robert Wuhl(just kidding, someone please kill him!), Jon Stewart(and all of the correspondents on the Daily Show), Jimmy Kimmel, Adam Corrola, Dave Chapelle, Eddie Griffin, Seth McFarlane, Dave Atell, Space Ghost, blah blah blah. If you don't find at least a few of these people funny or the work they have done as funny, then you are a fucking retarded goat. There are SO MANY more funny Americans as well. I found The Kids in the Hall only mildly amusing. I do agree that The State needs to come to DVD. It was an extremely funny show and it's a shame that it's life was so short. I want to see a Ben Stiller Show DVD set with un-aired eps, commentary, bloopers, etc. as well. MF -
Yeah, I know Space Ghost is a FUCKING CARTOON. I would rather watch him interview someone than Jay "John Holmes Dick" Leno. Why does Jay get so many viewers? I don't get it. He is a rascist pedophile. Oh well....

Anybody think that Triumph has become too overexposed and will soon end up with the likes of Spuds McKenzie and the Chihuahua from the Taco Bell commercials? Max Hedroom? The Noid? In about two years, people will think you're a "dork" or a "geek" for laughing at the currently hilarious rantings of the insult comic. I love Triumph, but I'm afraid he's getting to big for his little doggie britches.

All you who came here for Clash of the Titan news, look here:
by sith witch
Clash of the Titans is one of THE top movies ever! I loathe how everytime I bring it up, someone will invariably ask, "What about The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, or Jason & the Argonauts?" I do not even consider the fact that the film is a Harryhausen FX spectacle. It would be like if someone mentioned the movie Psycho, and everybody always asked, "But what about Rope? Or The Thirty-Two Steps?" To me the likeness of the characters, the costumes, the design aside from the creatures, the locations, music, story, dialogue, acting, EVERYTHING about it is awesome. Sure the Harryhausen creatures are cool, but they are not the ONLY things by which to judge the film. They just as well could have been makeup and costumes and I would love it as long as they were not cheesy. Anyway, I cannot believe Harry has never posted about this before, but some studio is actually moving forward with remaking it in a ridiculous move! Here are the gory details: http://cinescape.com/0/Editorial.asp?aff_id=0&this_cat=Movies&action=page&obj_id=35581 and

Sod Off Baldric, I am pretty sure that Jim Carrey is Canadian.
-
Ben Stiller has reportedly stated that he has recorded commentary tracks for a release of the TV show on DVD in the first half of next year.
-
Doooo do do do do do do dooooooooo !!!! How's it goin, A?
-
You are correct. Jim is Canadian. What made him funny is material written/directed/produced by Americans. I have nothing against Canadians. I just dislike this bullshit about how Americans aren't funny. MF
-
I'm guessing Mr. Show will just "do" Hooray for America, which I just saw. It was really good, but I didn't really enjoy seeing the old material or the 3x1-1 song from the movie, or even the really forced use of Ronnie Dobbs. I am under the impression Kids in the Hall are really ONLY doing old material on tour. Is there any indication that this or the next Mr. Show tour will have new material? Does anyone know of any sites or boards that have individual Hooray for America show reviews? I'd like to know if anything changes from show to show.
-
for me to POOP on!
-
OK, this will be cool, but ONLY because Comic the insult dog. Garafalo is a buzzkill to any event she shows up in...
-
"God speed through Texas, faggot!" God I miss the Kids in the Hall.
-
If only there was a lot of puddin' involved.
-
just asking
-
I'm for new voices and comedians to emerge. Supporting these dinosaur acts like mr. show, kith, and old granny garofalo is stupid. the comedians from the 90's mocked the 80's style, now it's our turn to mock the 90's. come on kids, let's get on it. no respect.
-
Sounds like a good show. Unfortunately, I am not in L.A. This bill should tour and come to New York and the rest of the country. It's a great line-up.
-
That sounds cool, but not as good as the treat Bob and David are giving us next weekend at the Olympia Film Festival.... where they will be giving On Deadly Ground (yep, the Segal flick) the MST3K treatment. It will rock, oh yes. Yes. Yes it will.
-
Screw that! The funniest guy on earth, possibly EVER, is George Carlin, who is practically as old as can be (but he doesn't show it). What the fuck does age have to do with comedy? Funny is funny. Unless you are a trendy asshole who has to put down others so as to feel better than them. These people are talented. Ageist nonsense is just that: nonsense.

And MR. SHOW is the greatest sketch comedy show EVER!!!!!!! I saw "HOORAY FOR AMERICA" when it came to Minneapolis and, while I remain a loyal fan of both comedy troupes, MR. SHOW was actually much funnier than the KIDS IN THE HALL, to whose recent tour I was also a witness. I just hope they put CLASH OF THE TITANS out on video or DVD for us po' deprived folk who don't live in L.A. Long live Bob and David!!!!

.... fuck him in his stupid azz.

I'm okay with a Clash of the Titans remake. I saw it recently on TV, and hoo-boy, is Harry Hamlin bad! Th special effects looked 1950's even though the film was made after Empire Strikes Back. And it really fudged with Greek mythology. let's see an update. Why not? Better special effects, better cast. It could be cool. Clive Owen as Perseus, Rade Sherbedgia as Zeus, Claire Danes as Andromeda, Jessica Lange as Athena, Tim Roth as Calibas, Pete Postlethwaite in the Burgess Meredith role, Debra Winger as Cassiopeia. It'd be fun!
-
I've never been to a live comedy show before, and I'm glad I'm going to Mr. Show. People, if you haven't seen these guys, fucking watch them!! They are the funniest show...probably ever. They're original, and talented, and still have no recognition. Best "underground" comics ever!
TITANICA RULES!!!!
