AQUA TEEN Movie Coming To Cartoon Network Sunday Night?

My first... by Kurema	Apr 1st, 2007 04:21:07 AM
...first. It will be my last.

We all know this is going to suck eggs Benedict... by Negative Man	Apr 1st, 2007 05:33:52 AM
...And possibly Dirk Benedict as well. Though, it would be funny if they showed the movie in a fast forward mode, so they'd be telling the truth, yet able to pull off a joke. But nothing will beat the fart-filled Adult Swim line up from last year. I never laughed so hard at Ghost in the Shell. BWAHA!
"wouldn’t be the first movie to hit TV screens first" by newc0253	Apr 1st, 2007 05:44:24 AM
which other films have hit TV screens before being given a theatrical release??? i'm not skeptical but i genuinely can't think of any.
It's April Fools by Virtual Satyr	Apr 1st, 2007 06:52:36 AM
See this coming a mile away.
it would've been funnier if Herc had posted a BSG tb by chrth	Apr 1st, 2007 07:27:37 AM
I bet a couple people would've been fooled by that
newc0253: I know the Left Behind films were on DVD by chrth	Apr 1st, 2007 07:29:10 AM
before being released to the theatres, don't know if they had a televised broadcast. Oh wait, wasn't The Hebrew Hammer shown on Comedy Central before it was released to theatres? Or was it never released?
shut the fuck up!!! this is ATHF by EliRothJustFuckingDieAlready001	Apr 1st, 2007 07:45:59 AM
if you're not a fan, you ain't gonna be swayed by the movie... the preview screenings were not attended by fans. thats the whole point, to see if the rest of dumb-shit N.A. will like it... they won't. so fuck'em if they can't take a joke!!! fuck'em harder if they can!!!
newc0253 by RenoNevada2000	Apr 1st, 2007 09:40:20 AM
HEBREW HAMMER did indeed get a limited theatrical release after Comedy Central aired it. Also, back in 1996 the Japanese film SHALL WE DANCE (which the crappy Richard Gere flick is a remake of) was disqualified from Foreign Film Oscar consideration as it had aired on television (Japanese TV I think) prior to its US theatrical Oscar-required scrfeenings. (The movie had won 14 Japanese Awards of the Japanese Film Academy.)
the last seduction by moontos	Apr 1st, 2007 09:50:33 AM
was screened on HBO before the theatrical release. that's why ms. fiorentino was not nominated for an academy award.
Squid Billies by Autoclave	Apr 1st, 2007 10:41:32 AM
Remember that time when they spent weeks promoting the premire of Squid Billies and it ended up being a talk show with Space Ghost, Meatwad and the Manshark? Yeah, this is gonna be like that.
yeah by rdsxfan8	Apr 1st, 2007 10:42:19 AM
I got pwned over this the other day when i brought it up in a different tb. I honestly didnt even look at a calendar before I was proclaiming this to be the best thing since sliced bread. I luvs me some carl and the ATHF!!! WELCOME HOME BABY!!!!!!
The Believer by JohnRevik	Apr 1st, 2007 10:46:34 AM
Ryan Gosling movie 'The Believer' was shown on Showtime before hitting theaters.
Its an April Fools day joke by EdRyder	Apr 1st, 2007 11:53:49 AM
My Tivo says some Billy and Mandy is airing at that time.Then again anyone who tuned in to Adult Swim last night to catch some Blood Plus got treated to endless episodes of Perfect Hair Forever all night long ,with ATHF subtitles.What the hell was that about?
That sucked! by Billyeveryteen	Apr 1st, 2007 12:18:34 PM
Perfect Hair Forever?? What god awful drek, the ATHF movie can't be much better. Worst April 1st ever.
Its an acquired taste by Irresolute	Apr 1st, 2007 12:34:31 PM
But ill still be there when it opens. April Fools day fershure.
I cannot believe any review. by Jed	Apr 1st, 2007 12:48:36 PM
Unless it's written by Dr. Weird.
The Believer by hrivnak	Apr 1st, 2007 01:16:05 PM
"The Believer" actually showed at several film festivals (including Sundance) before it was picked up Showtime, so it was "officially" a theatrical release.
The poster art by Quake II	Apr 1st, 2007 01:55:00 PM
is by far the best thing about this film. The trailer looks terrible. The only thing I find "funny" about this movie is the title.
X-men by skydog	Apr 1st, 2007 03:15:19 PM
A dollar a year for uncanny is still a great deal.
HORRIBLE movie. Horrible tv show by Undead03	Apr 1st, 2007 03:49:30 PM
And just a lame idea althogether. If it had good writing, and a good idea, I suppose the horrendous artwork would suffice. But the writing is lame, the direction even more lame, and the boredom endless. This one is heading straight to the crapper, and wont' even make it's money back on video.
The best April Fool's joke would be... by kevred	Apr 1st, 2007 04:31:25 PM
...if they would actually show the whole movie on TV, in that 15-minute slot--by playing it at super-fast-forward speed.
The 1978 Battlestar Galactica pilot ... by Hercules	Apr 1st, 2007 06:04:42 PM
... hit cinemas long after it premiered on ABC.
Adult Swim is always better high by foreignerbelt	Apr 1st, 2007 06:09:52 PM
ALWAYS
I saw BATTLESTAR GALACTICA in Sensurround at a theater by Mace Tofu	Apr 1st, 2007 07:08:31 PM
Herc, My pant legs were shaking when the Battlestar blew up lol.
That Venture Brothers package by Merkin Muffley	Apr 1st, 2007 08:51:21 PM
Is beautiful. And the show is the best animated thing on CN - but it's such a drag to actually watch. Except for Brock. Wait, what is this TB about?
Hahahhah by xavier masterson	Apr 1st, 2007 09:06:08 PM
Nice.
I think they just showed 5 miutes and..... by Gandalf the redwhiteandblue	Apr 1st, 2007 09:06:27 PM
it's still on in the left corner of the screen. Weird stuff!!
*minutes by Gandalf the redwhiteandblue	Apr 1st, 2007 09:07:02 PM
....
now that was pointless by Varakor	Apr 1st, 2007 09:25:24 PM
to show just three minutes and then shrink to a tiny box, really really pointless. As if I wasn't gonna watch futurama anyway. new eps when now?
the beard's first movie was shown on tv first by s0nicdeathmonkey	Apr 1st, 2007 09:27:52 PM
then later recut for theaters. Come on guys, how am I the only one to know this off the top of his head? DUEL people, DUEL.
kevred WONDER SHOWZEN already did that by s0nicdeathmonkey	Apr 1st, 2007 09:30:19 PM
more than once.
s0nicdeathmonkey, thanks for the tip by kevred	Apr 1st, 2007 09:42:38 PM
Never watched Wonder Showzen. Looked like it might be interesting from the previews, but for me, Adult Swim's been all downhill since the classics: Space Ghost, Brak, and sometimes Harvey Birdman (aside from the occasional good few seconds on Robot Chicken).
HA!!! THAT WAS FUCKIN' BRILLIANT!!! by EliRothJustFuckingDieAlready001	Apr 1st, 2007 10:12:49 PM
[adult swim] kept their promise for once. they showed the entire movie, just like they said... but shrunk down in the corner so small you could barely see it with the other shit running all night like picture-in-picture for midgets!!! fucking right!!!!!!!!!
steven spielbergs Duel was a by LeviDTinker	Apr 1st, 2007 10:21:56 PM
steven spielbergs Duel was a tv movie before it was reedited and released into european theatres.
Well played, Cartoon Network. by chrth	Apr 2nd, 2007 07:12:00 AM
BTW, whenever they slapped an advertising image up on the screen or the show, it hosed up the close captioning. Thought that was interesting.
The 1978 Battlestar Galactica pilot ... by newc0253	Apr 2nd, 2007 08:29:48 AM
ah, i saw it in the cinema first, complete with Sensurround Sound. i bet them folks watching ABC didn't have the experience of their seats shaking when the vipers launched...
actually, i just checked Wikipedia by newc0253	Apr 2nd, 2007 08:34:16 AM
that font of accurate online information, and it states that it was released theatrically overseas before the US tv debut. although it also says that the role of Colonel Adama was played by Lorne Greene, king of the polar bears and inventor of cornflakes.
Hahaha newc0253... by ThomasServo	Apr 2nd, 2007 08:59:50 AM
I found that funny, even if no one else did.
That poster is fucking AWESOME. by scrivener	Apr 2nd, 2007 09:40:51 AM
Even if the movie makes my eyes bleed, I will see it because of that poster.
BSG pilot theatrical by Fat Chooch	Apr 2nd, 2007 02:12:32 PM
The original BSG pilot played theatrically in europe and canada before airing on ABC. It did not play theatrically in the U.S. until after the first season had aired. Universal spruced it up by remastering the audio into Sensurround for the US release and by re-inserting the Baltar death scene that was excised from the TV airing. I remember it well because it was the last movie that Universal released in that format and only went to see it in the theaters because of the Sensurround. But I promise you that it aired on ABC before it played theatrically in the US.
