Palin!! ANIMANIACS!!Herc's Super-Exciting Season-Box DVD Vault!!

Published at:  Apr 18, 2006 1:21:20 AM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!



I am – Hercules!!








The Pythons in their sixties! Terry Gilliam makes movies like “The Brothers Grimm.” John Cleese plays tiny roles in the James Bond and Harry Potter movies. Eric Idle repurposed the best of the Python movies for a stage production titled “Spamalot.” Terry Jones makes historical documentaries for the BBC. Graham Chapman has joined the choir invisible. And the great Michael Palin has taken to taking long trips with film crews.



Palin, who is secretly one-quarter American, traveled around the world in 80 days in 1989, traveled from the North Pole to the South Pole via Asia and Africa in 1992, traveled the entire Pacific Rim in 1997, and followed the travels of Ernest Hemingway from Europe to Africa to America to Cuba in 1999. In the 21st century, his travels have grown slightly less global. 2004’s “Himalaya” confined his journeying to the mountains of the Far East, and 2002’s “Sahara,” which hits American DVD shelves today, returns him to the planet’s largest desert, including the site that served as backdrop for “Life of Brian.”



The set comes will all four hourlong episodes, plus a 16-minute interview with Palin, 25 minutes of a Palin video diary, and 30 minutes of deleted scenes.

    by emeraldboy

    Around the world, pole to pole and full Circle. However, I am not a fan of his latest travel efforts. Sure the photography is beautiful to look at nay gorgeous in these programs, searching for hemmingway, sahara and Himalay. But it is palins Narration that seemed awfully flat and dull and maybe that was because there was no sense of urgency this time round to complete his journey. It might have been due to the fact that during the filming of one these programs that this wife was diagnosed with a begign tumor.

    Ren & Stimpy....

    by doom ii

    Obviously those are the recent (2003?) John K made Ren & Stimpy shows that aired on Spike TV? What happened to those. I assume the ratings were nil. I caught one episode where the duo was living in a spittoon in a western bar. They were dodging huge brown spit-balls while trying to have a normal "life". Also looks like Warners is dumping every Superman product ever made to come out with the new movie. Typical. And WHO is going to buy ALF or TEDDY RUXPIN dvd's?

    Ren & Stimpy Pt II....YIKES!

    by doom ii

    I just did a little research and found out: Apparently only 3 of the new Ren & Stimpy's ever aird on Spike. The other 6 were shelved due to lewd content. Naked breasts, boners and gross out gags that Nickelodeon wouldn't have allowed. Here are the clips. Don't say I didn't warn ya! These make South Park episodes look like Care Bears reruns...http://apc.thetma.com/

    by rebel299

    here i was, just scrolling along, looking at the same mindless stuff you'd expect to be shilled on dvd when i saw something that i couldn't believe. brisco county jr. i've been waiting for this dvd set to come out for a looooooong time, and now it looks like i only have to wait a couple of months more. maybe its been talked about on some other dvd talkback that i missed, but i'm still surprised that it hasn't popped up in discussion here. c'mon! bruce campbell staring in a western where he plays the bounty hunter son of r. lee ermey and the main bad guy is billy drago. and to think, the x-files was the show from fox's friday nights that went on for 10 years.

    The Dregs of Humanity!

    by tjrmusic

    Omigod! Thanks John, for finally clearing that up for me. Years and years ago I was channel surfing when I across a sitcom. The episode involved a bunch of kids trying to find a band to play at their school. They couldn't find a band so they created a band called the "Dregs of Humanity". The band was a bunch of life size ghoul/puppets and and everyone bought that they where a real band. I never knew the name of the show or saw another episode of the show again, but I always found the whole premise of that episode amusing.

    From Thomas the Tank Engine (I have little kids). Sing it to the original tune. Thomas is a sex machine. He likes girls who aren't clean. When he pees it makes him scream. Thomas and his friends. Drives around the tracks all day. Looks for chicks who want to play. If their game he says okay. Thomas and his friends.
