HERCULES ON THE RADIO!!
Learn What Ain’t It Cool’s TV Critic Thinks Of Tim Burton's FRANKENWEENIE!! The Final Late Show!! Listen & Call In LIVE Saturday 10pm PT / 1am ET!!
Tonight the Kern KREW and I hope to get into Tim Burton’s stop-motion kiddie-horror opus “Frankenweenie.”
“Ask Mr. KERN” nests for the last time tonight in its later timeslot.
The radio show airs tonight 10:05 p.m. to Midnight Pacific Time. (We return to our regular 8:05 p.m. to 10 p.m. PT timeslot starting next week.)
No matter where you are you can listen to the show LIVE by hitting the “Listen Live” button at kernradio.com.
Best of all, you, constant reader, can join this very nerdy conversation.
The toll-free call-in line is:
1-800-640-5376
Call in drunk, as I always do, but watch your language. This is not a podcast. This monster goes out over the air on all 50,000 watts of Southern California’s KERN-AM.

Unfortunately, it's going to be tricky to attract family audiences in large numbers. Stop-motion animated movies have a pretty low ceiling on opening weekend: Corpse Bride holds the record with $19.2 million, while recent entries ParaNorman ($14.1 million) and The Pirates! Band of Misfits ($11.1 million) were middling in their debuts. More importantly, though, Frankenweenie faces direct competition from Hotel Transylvania, which had a surprisingly-high opening and is guaranteed to earn over $20 million this weekend. It's hard to imagine many family audiences choosing the black-and-white stop-motion Frankenweenie over the vibrant, action-packed Hotel Transylvania, so expect Frankenweenie to wind up in third place.
-
Two of my co-workers brought up that they were going to see HT and when I brought up that they should see Frankenweenie they both looked at me and said "No, that looks stupid." Never underestimate the simple cares of the sheep.

Being up past 2am was cramping my Sundays. Anybody hear the new Skyfall song? Here it is. Have a listen. See you guys tonight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HKoqNJtMTQ

oh and I second YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!! It's the Final Late Show!!!
by adeceasedfan
It's 3am for me. Boo.
-
I had heard that they had released the song, but this morning was the first time I found a site that had a link to it. I must admit I haven't had much time to look for it. Youtube. Go figure. I like it. I like it a lot. It reminds me of some of the classic Bond songs. But I am waiting for the movie. Daniel Craig is on SNL tonight. That should be a good lead in for the show. See ya there.

I saw it originally, and hated it. But I now find it interesting.
by MovieManStill
-
Yes. We went to see Looper and then firepit and beers. Tuning in momentarily.
-
Those are the two guys I associate most with hosting the Oscars, and I don't believe either sang during the telecast
-
I have been SOOO all over the place this week. It has almost been as much fun as that vacation I had a month ago. If you know what I mean. *cough* Isaac! *cough*
-
Oct. 7, 2012, 12:40 a.m. CST
Yeah, I know a fire pit - just wondered if it were a bar.
by MovieManStill
-
Now I can listen to last weeks show.
-
Somehow, it was NEVER about HIM. His show, or the Oscars......

Can't hear you.

I have yet to watch an episode of Dexter. Not even by accident.
by L.H.Puttgrass
-
If so yeah he's the man.
-
For whatever reason, AICN won't refresh properly, although every OTHER web site is functioning. Oh, well.
-
Jk...hehe.

I cannot remember any of the guests. Went to Letterman, twice. The latter was a dick, both times. And behaved like a total douche during commercials.

The original was great, it starred the kid from The Neverending Story. Y'know, D.A.R.R.Y.L.?

Coil drainage P-trap was clogged and the squirrel cage was unsecured from the shaft.
by L.H.Puttgrass
Had to disassemble parts of it to get access to what needed repair and at least one trip to Lowe's. It all took about 5 hours or so. Recorded but haven't seen SNL.

Pour a little clorox in that trap annually. They can get funky.

Saw the re-release at a dinner theater and the audience was full of jackasses.
by adeceasedfan
No respect, everything is a fucking joke. So annoying.
-
Who remembers Bob Wilkins and Creature Features? Oh, Yeah!
-
And late night horror shows, with hosts.....
-
Hehe.

Oct. 7, 2012, 1:20 a.m. CST

Where is Alice in the original game?
-
Oct. 7, 2012, 1:25 a.m. CST
RE6 is supposedly so far removed from what Resident Evil should be, I wouldn't doubt Alice being in one of the games before too long.

I saw a LOT of (edited) weird 70s movies on late-night TV
by MovieManStill
Back in the late 70s
-
Oct. 7, 2012, 1:26 a.m. CST
Also, why does the RE6 logo look like someone going down on a giraffe?
by Shermdawg
-
Sorry, Kern - have to say it.
-
... was a HUGE part of my growing up. Loved all the cheesey.
-
Oct. 7, 2012, 1:29 a.m. CST
You ran all the way down from the top floor of the KERN Tower?
by Shermdawg

Who knew?

SSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! You'll blow the illusion!

Blew my own joke.

OK - let's establish, one can hate 'The Exorcist" without being a moron.

It was the Bomb! back in the day. Going thru bags of potato chips and dip until the wee hours of the morning... No sleep for the weekend. Not when you stay up with Bob. My dad was in the Navy and so I was living in Alameda for most of the 70's.
-
I don't even go to theaters, any longer, due to jerks in the audience. I would NEVER ruin a film with inappropriate responses. I grew up on old-school film etiquette.
-
We're safe......but for how long?

On mobile. The refresh is screwy.

adeceasedfan - Wait. Uh, was I somewhere else? Wait, what?
by L.H.Puttgrass
Huh?
-
But I've taken 3 calls tonight...and nothing but weird breathing on the other end.....real funny! I guess it goes with the topic tonight! Call in (661) 842-5376 or 1.800.640.5376

DirecTV doesn't have the local forecast for us like cable used to offer on TWC, so not much in the way of watching from me.

Stupid idea. I don't want to have a family member killed by Gandolf!

Thanks, but NO thanks.

You guys rule! See ya next week!

Oct. 7, 2012, 2 a.m. CST
OK, AICN, WHY is EVERY site refreshing normally, but yours?
by MovieManStill

See y'all next week. Hope the fridge holds up, Putt.
-
Oct. 7, 2012, 2:05 a.m. CST
moviemanstill - I feel your pain. I've been having some very slow refreshes over the last half hour.
by L.H.Puttgrass
It kind of sucks.

Oct. 7, 2012, 2:07 a.m. CST
welivestill...ornot. I doubt you're in to Death Metal, but..
by adeceasedfan
DECEASED - FEARLESS UNDEAD MACHINES from '97 is a brilliant concept album based on Romero's trilogy and a few other choice zombie films. Apparently I'm a fan. ;)
-
I fixed it and its purring now.
-
Oct. 7, 2012, 2:15 a.m. CST
Ah, my bad, another person I was talking to tonight had the broken fridge.
by Shermdawg
-
I had no idea. I'll look into it. Thanks!
-
I can't agree more with all of you. Excellent movie, such a wonderful surprise. I'm glad that I went in knowing so little about it. One thought if any of you check back. Do you think it's possible that the main thug played by Noah Segan was the younger Jeff Daniels? They never fully explain Abe other than he's from the future and Kid Blue(?) seemed very disturbed upon seeing dead Abe following the shootout.
