Blu-ray SERENITY!! SIMPSONS!! OFFICE!! MARS!! NIP/TUCK!! 24!! EXOSQUAD!! Auld Lang HercVault!!
I am – Hercules!!
Proponents of the doomed HD-DVD format have had access to the big-screen sequel to “Firefly” on HD for some time now, but the further adventures of Inara Serra, Kaylee Frye, Jayne Cobb and the River Tam finally hit Blu-ray today. It includes loads of extras, including three debuting on this edition:
* Alliance Database - Includes dossiers on all of the Firefly crew, profiles on planets, various historical entries, vehicle references and details on the reavers.
* U Control - This is broken down into four sections: Mr. Universe Compendium, Digital Tour of Serenity, Picture in Picture and Visual Commentary. It appears these are all interactive features instead of simple menu items.
* BD Live: My Scenes Sharing - It's part of the new BD Live set of features and is supposed to let you share your favorite scenes of the movie with your friends.

Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick released their annual Venture Bros. Christmas tune--this time featuring 21 and the late 24. You can find it via a link at Jackson's livejournal page or going to the Quik Stop Entertainment website. <p> Hopefully that'll take care of your fix until Season 3 comes out for repeated viewings. <p> Seasons Greetings!
-
Didn't they play in The Tubes with Fee Waybill and Prairie Prince?
-
Somebody screwed that up...
-
I'm holding out for the inevitable complete series boxed set.
-
That Venture Bros. box is an instant classic! Who can forget that typeface? They even distressed the edges of the box. What a great franchise.
-
One of my all time favorite cartoons. It's my number two show next to Batman: the animated series. As i watched it the first time in syndication, i was surprised they were getting away with what they were doing. It's a straight up war story, with all of the political complexities that come with that. It's also high adventure. One example of where they took things. Lt. Marsh disobeys a direct order he thinks is negligent and winds up getting court marshaled and sentenced to death. During an attack by the enemy, resulting from the negligent orders, Marshs' squad, Able Squad, breaks him out of his holding cell and wind up turning the tide of battle, saving the fleet. Is all forgiven? No. Marsh and all of Able squad are thrown in the brig for a year. The next episode takes place A YEAR later, when they are released. I remember my mouth hanging open when that happened. Great show.
-
I was just thinking about that incident with all of Able Squad having to do time. It was a great show that really challenged it's (pre-teen) audience.
-
Another chime in for Exo-Squad, a series that was criminally ignored and overlooked. It was a far more complex and mature cartoon then Saturday mornings deserved.
-
and still no Wonder Years DVDs.<br> <br> FUCK YOU ABC!!(that was who aired it right?)
-
Since we're talking about tv series collections, I'd like to mention a personal change of heart about Smallville.<br>I'm a life long Superman fan, and really enjoyed the first two seasons of Smallville. However, by season three the series became a very tiresome freak of the week cavalcade interspersed with the on-again off-again Clark/Lana relationship. And so about mid-season three, I stopped watching the series. Occasionally, I'd see ads or read developments on the web which only reinforced my perception that the series was bereft of new ideas, and really jumping the shark.<br>For Christmas, somebody got me all of the seasons of Smallville that I had ignored. I've been watching key episodes -- and I have to say the series is worth another look.<br>If you're like me and you quit the series early on, you really might enjoy the later seasons. There are some excellent moments, plus a few new twists on the original character concepts.<br>True, there are still far too many kryptonite-induced story lines, but the advantage of a boxed set is that you don't have to waste time with those.<br><br>There, I said it.
-
This one poster's consistent obsession with a bad cartoon makes me think he really obsesses over the JM Bullock craptacular adventures of gay animal cartoon characters. (I keed, I keed!)
-
Technically the whore on Serenity is hotter there's just something about Summer Glau and her Christina Ricci five-head that's just, Mmm.
-
but I won't! </BR> http://tinyurl.com/8wfm3g

Serenity arriving any day, shipped out over the weekend. Shiny!
-
I used to love watching that before school when I was a kid. It's a pity we never got to see what happens after the war with the Neo-Sapiens.
-
Exo-Squad was quite popular on college campuses back in the day. I had recorded the entire series on VHS when Exo-Squad was on the air. I've since transferred them to DVD. Of course the quality isn't good, the commercials are included, and I missed episode 43 "The Perfect Warrior" It's nice to finally see this released on DVD, looking forward to the Season Two DVD release also.
-
Thanks for the Henchman Holiday song alert.<p>Thanks again for recommending Venture Bros!It was one of the highlights of 2008 for me.<p>Have a great New Year.
-
Truly a brilliant, moving epic. The show came as close to an anime made in America, with only Avatar: The Last Airbender coming close. Probably the best American produced dramatic animated show after Avatar and Batman: TAS. Please you owe it to yourself if you are a fan of animation, or even great storytelling to pick this one up.

I've been begging for years for Exo-Squad on this site...
by iamnicksaicnsn
and finally, Universal has made everything come true. As soon as I saw this was coming out on DVD I near soiled my pants. All is right with the world.
-
Some producer has to look at it, see the story, the franchise possibilities... <p> Or at least some sort of Exo-Squad: The Next Generation or whatever to complete the post neo-sapien war story line. </p>
-
Holy hell I remember that cartoon... it used to come on USA back when they showed cartoons in the morning on their "Cartoon Express". I never saw how it ended...
-
IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!!

I finally got to see it. I never watched Firefly when it was out. Caught up on all of it on hulu.com. After watching the series, I found myself feeling guilty that I had rejected many of my friends pleas to watch the show. I never watched it, I just blew it off because if my bad experience with FOX scifi shows ( Space above and beyond which sucked so hard ) <BR><BR> But Firefly was truly an awesome show that really deserved a better chance than it got. <BR><BR> Now that I've watched Serenity, I'm sad they're not going to make any more of them. Great characters and good stories... makes me wonder if George Lucas ever wishes he could write background and dialog like the firefly writers. Some of Firefly's dialog on paper is quite rough... could have been quite a stretch to take seriously, but somehow it works.. they make it work. <BR> Cast, director, or combination... whatever it is, George Lucas needs to be taking notes. <BR><BR> I hate every other show Joss Whedon has ever done. Weird.
-
One of my favorite shows growing up. I was pleased to hear it that Hulu.com has posted episodes, and also its long awaited release to DVD. It's a shame they canned it after the second season.
