Aaaaand that explained? by thelivingdoll	Apr 18th, 2007 11:08:36 PM
I'm sorry, I just didn't get what he was trying to say in that statement.
Only thing I want to know is... by Alonzo Mosely	Apr 18th, 2007 11:12:13 PM

so ummmm.. when does the next season start by Russman	Apr 19th, 2007 01:19:20 AM
cuz... we'd really like to see it.
New season due April 2008 by Teamwak	Apr 19th, 2007 07:14:03 AM
I'm afriad. It apparently takes ages to get them back from the Korean animators :(
Wow...a year from new episodes? by Childe Roland	Apr 19th, 2007 09:54:54 AM
That blows the hardest.
According to JP's blog they've only just finished by Teamwak	Apr 19th, 2007 10:20:38 AM
the first 4 scripts. Takes like nine months or something from approved script to airable episode. I will have to make do with the fantastic season 2 DVD. "IGNORE ME!!"
One of my many favorite moments... by biggles2_22	Apr 19th, 2007 10:28:44 AM
Hulk Hands on Monarch (Hate Floats) and the "prostate check" in Love Beits. The world doesn't know what it's missing with the Venture Brothers. The AS Network ought to be shot for making the Aqua Teen movie before doint a full length Venture Bros flick. (Sigh)
I hope my Season 2 DVD arrives today. by rev_skarekroe	Apr 19th, 2007 11:13:59 AM
Flippin' Amazon. I thought they were supposed to send stuff so that it arrived on the release date.
Love the Guild episode by skimn	Apr 19th, 2007 12:44:23 PM
with the henchmen and the jet belts, and the Franco American reference. Entertainment Weekly this week had a little sidebar blurb alongside the ATHF review that stated the same..where's the Venture movie??!! And on the subject of Adult Swim, any word on the Tom Goes To The Mayor DVD COMPLETE series. This baby will be a collectors item.
I skipped through several episodes of my DVD copy by Mr Incredible	Apr 19th, 2007 02:07:53 PM
I can't wait to watch those suckers. I also can't wait for the live-action Venture Brothers movie (a suggestion). I just wonder who would play Doctor Girlfriend?
Live Action? Who would play Doctor Girlfriend? by Cheif Brody	Apr 19th, 2007 04:04:13 PM
Rachel McAdams...with Kathleen Turner overdubbing her voice.
Oh....and a bald by Cheif Brody	Apr 19th, 2007 04:12:54 PM
Andy Dick should play Dr. Venture...with a blond Patrick Warburton playing Brock!!
Wonder Woman on Smallville tonight! by TodayzSpecial	Apr 19th, 2007 06:08:36 PM
How is that not cool news? I admit Smallville is a hit and miss show with primarily a bunch of misses, but Linda Carter is guest starring. I'd think that would be worth at least a post Herc!
where is Korgoth? by datachasm	Apr 19th, 2007 08:43:03 PM
i await Korgoth season 1... any news about that?
James Urbainiak to play Dr Venture by Teamwak	Apr 20th, 2007 07:06:27 AM
He looks like him, and guess what, he sounds like him too. Rene Zwelleger as Dr Girlfiend, Arhnold as Baron Underbieht, and Ed Norton as The Monarch. Bring on the live movie now!
Teamwak by biggles2_22	Apr 20th, 2007 08:25:31 AM
Sorry dude, only Kevin Spacey could really pull off the Monarch. On the other hand, I really wouldn't like to see a live action VB. I think it would be a let-down. How's about a CG movie done in IMAX-3D? That would kill.
Wish Casting... by GOB Adama	Apr 20th, 2007 08:56:10 AM
Dr. Thaddeus S. Venture - Stanley Tucci Brock Sampson - Patrick Wharburton Hank & Dean - Give a couple of unknown teen actors a shot Dr. Orpheus - Steve Corell (sp?) The Monarch - Michael McDonald (of Mad TV) Dr. Girlfriend - Pick a starlet w/ some comic timing and dub in Doc Hammer The Henchmen - I like the idea of 'stunt casting' famous folk as henchmen only to get killed seconds later as 21 & 24 (w/ thier original voices look/comment on)

Hmm. Kevin Spacey could be good casting :) by Teamwak	Apr 20th, 2007 09:09:57 AM
I like that. How about Anthony Hopkins as Dr Killinger! And Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith as 21 and 24!! Just a thought :)
If you go too big or well-known... by GOB Adama	Apr 20th, 2007 09:19:07 AM
Then, I think, it becomes less of a cultural celebration/satire and more of a wink-n-nudge fest. Too much like that "Austin Powers" self-parody w/ Tom Cruise as Austin, Spacy as Dr. Evil.. etc. A funny joke, but not for a whole movie of a show that nails pop-parody with each frame. THAT is why I think the most famous people we see should get killed w/in seconds (either executed by the Monarch or brutally mangled by Brock).
Also... by GOB Adama	Apr 20th, 2007 11:13:55 AM
In a show about failure, it strikes me as funny to use actors whose careers are... not exactly "A-list"
Ray Romano would have to be 24 by biggles2_22	Apr 20th, 2007 02:50:40 PM
Did you ever compare their voices?! A true "audio seperated at birth".
#24 by GOB Adama	Apr 20th, 2007 02:53:27 PM
IF you don't get the original voices AND if he would agree to do it... Ray Romano should DEFINITELY be #24. You just need to find an actor who can play #21 that he can play off of well.
Casting the Venture characters by GOB Adama	Apr 20th, 2007 02:57:35 PM
The show features a number of notable pairs. Hank and Dean, #21 and #24 and Mr. White and Master Billy Quizboy, just to name the most prominent. THESE characters need to be cast as pairs, in my opinion. Oh, and Soulbot for helper... Or Lawrence Fishburne.
It should just stay as a cartoon by successor	Apr 20th, 2007 10:26:16 PM
No live action please. Part of the genius of Venture Bros. is the inspired lunacy they can get away with in the animated form, as well as all of the clever in-jokes to earlier cartoons like Jonny Quest. If you make it live action, then you have to ground it in reality. And if the actors play the characters like the cartoon, it'll look silly. And if they play it seriously, it won't be funny. Either way, I doubt it'll work. It would be better to do a full length animated feature and keep the voice actors.

From Hells heart, I stab at thee, First!
Successor, stop being a killjoy by Mr Incredible	Apr 23rd, 2007 09:28:47 AM
"If you make it live action, then you have to ground it in reality. (Who said?)And if the actors play the characters like the cartoon, it'll look silly.(Gee, I guess Superman and Spider-Man look silly, too.) And if they play it seriously, it won't be funny. (Who said the Venture Brothers were serious?)Either way, I doubt it'll work." Casting call was all in fun, with some great suggestions.
LAST! by biggles2_22	Apr 23rd, 2007 10:12:08 AM
Damn you, Mr. Incredible. Let's put this TB to bed!
Agreed and Disagreed by GOB Adama	Apr 23rd, 2007 10:42:35 AM
While animating it would be the best most pure way... Casting is just plain FUN!!! And featuring David Bowie... as Himself
