SOUTH PARK Salutes The 1981
Stoner Cartoon HEAVY METAL!!

as possibly the fist poster I find myself... by FlickaPoo	Mar 26th, 2008 08:35:17 AM
...with nothing clever to say.
Swanky Metal by Prof_Ender	Mar 26th, 2008 08:36:53 AM
Loved HEAVY METAL. Love SOUTH PARK. Thus I can only, possibly be...disappointed. NEGATIVITY'D!!!
Except that I am a grown man and love... by FlickaPoo	Mar 26th, 2008 08:37:24 AM
...big cartoony boobs. Problem?. I hope not...don't think so. Don't really have a taste for giant boobs in real life. Just cartoons. Oh...Jessica Rabbit...
I'm laughing already by Trazadone	Mar 26th, 2008 08:45:30 AM
Can't wait.
Heavy Metal Soundtrack by Prof_Ender	Mar 26th, 2008 08:45:33 AM
Man, I loved that soundtrack when I was younger. That and the TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE CD would be on non-stop through out highschool. ... Of course highschool for me was 1997-2001. -_-;
I hope it isn't like Make Love, Not Warcraft and Imaginationland by DerLanghaarige	Mar 26th, 2008 08:55:44 AM
I hate to be the guy who shits on the two most popular episodes of the last few seasons or probably even the whole series, but I hate to see when bad or mediocre episodes only get lots of love for just using geek credible events or characters.
Can't stand most of the bands on that ST by gotilk	Mar 26th, 2008 08:58:42 AM
..But for some reason I like to hear it from time to time. I still love Cheap Trick though. How can you hate a band with a smoking fat guy named Bun E playing drums? Please let the new drug of choice be a green ORB.
Remember how Lou Stathis used to... by Kid Z	Mar 26th, 2008 09:11:57 AM
...take up valuable pages expounding on bands you never heard of and insisting on spelling "rock" as "rok"? Then the movie came out and the bands they used were the lame bands you NEVER listened to? (Well, DEVO was still considered cool at the time, but that's about it.)
Heavy Metal by ur-vile	Mar 26th, 2008 09:12:36 AM
This season so far has been kinda meh (nothing at bad as that last towlie episode... shutter...) but a Heavy Metal spoof sounds kick-ass.. I love the soundtrack to that movie, I wish they'd RErelease it and add the missing songs, and remaster it to boot. I was looking at wikipedia, apparently the score is finally been released officially on CD (sort of).
forgot to add by ur-vile	Mar 26th, 2008 09:16:07 AM
Veteran of the Psychic Wars, best Cult song ever
The Elmer Bernstein SCORE is finally on legit CD by Osmosis Jones	Mar 26th, 2008 09:25:13 AM
That was the only good thing about that movie.
can't freakin wait to see this.. by bob oblaw	Mar 26th, 2008 09:25:56 AM
this show never ceases to amaze me..
Call it/Heavy Metal/Nooooooooiiiiiseeeeeee!!!! !! by DirkBelig	Mar 26th, 2008 09:40:31 AM
It's a one-way ticket to Midnight!!!
DerLanghaarige by Nice Marmot	Mar 26th, 2008 09:40:42 AM
You have a point about the Imaginationland episode, although I enjoyed it. Didn't they just do exactly what they make fun of Family Guy for doing? But I love the Warcraft episode. Can't wait for some Heavy Metal.
Too Bad Heavy Metal II Sucked ass by TallScott	Mar 26th, 2008 09:41:59 AM
It could have been great to showcase how far animation came but became a whole movie just to star a chick who was banging the publisher of the magazine.
Just watched the preview on their site by executiverocker	Mar 26th, 2008 10:11:38 AM
Looks like it could be something special indeed

Human Giant? by INWOsuxRED	Mar 26th, 2008 10:36:25 AM
The first 3 episodes of this season of Human Giant were better than the first two episodes of South Park, and every episode of SNL Herc has pimped this year. They really need to get someone from Buffy to do a cameo on that show so Herc will notice it.
apparently David Fincher is bringing this to the big screen by newc0253	Mar 26th, 2008 10:53:58 AM
Heavy Metal, i mean, not South Park. that's a rumour i heards anyway.
someone gave me that allbum by Napoleon Park	Mar 26th, 2008 11:07:19 AM
on 8-track.
INWO by skimn	Mar 26th, 2008 11:09:50 AM
I agree. Human Giant is the closest thing we have to Mr. Show currently on television right now. It doesn't have the history or "classic" status, and probably doesn't have a press release that can be copied and pasted, and presented as "news".
Oh good, a parody of a quarter century old movie by Napoleon Park	Mar 26th, 2008 11:10:40 AM
that explains how South Park is funnier than Family Guy.
by johnnyjlawless	Mar 26th, 2008 11:21:43 AM
God I loved that song. I never knew it was on a soundtrack, it was just some anonymous track. I found it on some pirate Arabic audiotape my girlfriend's dad had. Nice to know there are other people out there who like it!
er, I was talking about Psychic Wars by johnnyjlawless	Mar 26th, 2008 11:22:16 AM

ur-vile is 100% correct about BOC by Tom Arnold	Mar 26th, 2008 11:27:35 AM
"Veteran of the Psychic Wars" is my favorite track that they ever did, even though I think Secret Treaties was their best album. As for this season so far, I feel its pretty solid. When Britney blew her head off and Cartman just walks out of the room, I freakin' lost it. I don't think I could breathe for a good minute or so I was laughing so hard. Plus, the backing vocals in her song at the "video awards" had me in tears. Don't know if you all have checked out the interview with Matt and Trey at The Onion's AV Club this month, but its pretty good. I'd post a link, but what're ya gonna do?
look u haters... by mr ahole ramirez	Mar 26th, 2008 11:38:05 AM
...Im tired of comin in here and hearin bout how South Park acts all high and mighty and that they're tired of their holier than thou thoughts or whatever...so do us true SP fans a favor and 1. dont watch tonight episode or any other episode ever, or 2. shut the hell up...if u dont like what the show is about or how it has messages, then dont watch... ...wit that said, SP is one of the best shows ever and I feel privileged that someone "Hollywood" people out there are actually tryin to deliver true strong messages...although its mostly crude and crazy, its still one of the best things ever... PS: PLEASE DONT HAVE BUTTERS MOLESTED TONIGHT...I hate to see that sweet kid go through what he goes through...
re: SNL by mr ahole ramirez	Mar 26th, 2008 11:41:08 AM
....and wuts wit the SN hate? I know sometimes its not good (Jonah Hill ep) but the Tina Fey one was good, and certaintly that Justin Timberlake ep was the greatest one I seen in years...also Peyton Manning throwin footballs at lil kids and givin them prison tats...great...
Trey and Matt's geek love by skimn	Mar 26th, 2008 11:48:38 AM
can't be discounted. What other program, animated or otherwise, would base an episode on a cult cartoon? Their reference to Body Snatchers last week, the hommage to Carpenter's Thing last year, 300 parody, Dawn Of The Dead, and on and on.
Major Boobage by Fred	Mar 26th, 2008 12:08:06 PM
A play on Captain Sternn perhaps?
South Park is dead by Rupee88	Mar 26th, 2008 12:23:20 PM
and buried at this point.
Taarna !!!! by tanks1	Mar 26th, 2008 12:49:21 PM
Taarna was HOT!!! Ok, i know it was a cartoon....
Sounds fucking cool by Space Disc Jockey	Mar 26th, 2008 01:00:56 PM
This should be interesting. With the recent news of a new Heavy Metal project(with Fincher involved) and now this, I think there will be renewed interest in the HM franchise. Let's please forget the disappointing Heavy Metal 2000 and remember the awesome 1981 film.
Looks like Heavy Metal is about to get Pwned... by MJohnson	Mar 26th, 2008 01:18:04 PM

Still have that soundtrack... by Zeke25:17	Mar 26th, 2008 01:23:57 PM
and the Sammy Hagar song was what made me a fan of his (though I believe the repeated guitar riff came from Jim Peterik as opposed to Sammy). That version of the song, produced by Roy Thomas Baker, is the best I've heard; the live version Sammy & the Waboritas do isn't half bad; they just play it a bit too slow....Oh, and the movie wasn't bad either, though not as good as that trademark illustration would have you believe. God, imagine if all the animation in the movie looked like THAT!
...Im waitin for a episode... by mr ahole ramirez	Mar 26th, 2008 01:33:21 PM
...where the boys are in high school...think bout all the hilarities....Cartman date rapin girls...Stan and Kyle f'in each other...Butters bein super cool...and to think of all the masturbation gags....
The Premiere Rocked by The Chalk Outline	Mar 26th, 2008 01:43:09 PM
Season 12 started off excellent, but the Britney episode only had its moments. Hopefully this one will be great as well. Also, I'd just like to point out how great it is that South Park is still producing quality episodes. Sure, they have duds every now and then, but honestly, what was the last animated show to go past the 150 episode mark and not "lose it"? Sure, The first 9 or 10 seasons of The Simpsons may still be the "Holy Grail" of animated sitcoms, but South Park is really putting a stamp on its own claim to fame and doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon.
South Park is far from dead by Jarek	Mar 26th, 2008 01:43:55 PM
Last season had some of the best episodes in years. It's still fresh. There isn't another show out there that gets me as excited for new episodes.
re: Chalk Outline by mr ahole ramirez	Mar 26th, 2008 01:56:20 PM
...not sure if King of the Hill past 150, but that show is great for a "normal" type of cartoon...Dale Gribble, the sadness that is Bill, and the most idiotic, self-obsorbed, egotistical char in history Peggy Hill make the show great (despite the fact that I TRULY HATE HER)...ho yea....

South Park = Mirror Held Up To Society by dvanhorne	Mar 26th, 2008 02:07:51 PM
South Park has moved past being an animated sitcom. It is now a tool to let Matt & Trey hold a mirror up to society and show just how far the world, our country the USA in particular, has fallen. Though intolerance, bigotry, and hate are a staple of South Park it is the elements of tolerance, humanity, and love that are championed by the show's message. Similarly to the Norman Lear era of 70s sitcoms (no surprise he has been a staff writer for the show), South Park delivers social commentary into its punch lines and premises almost each and every week. Its no accident and is a reason why the show has received so many awards and been so critically and commercially successful. I can't wait to see what project M&T work on outside of South Park.
HEAVY METAL was the shit in 81!!! by Orionsangels	Mar 26th, 2008 02:09:56 PM
Why, because in 81 there was almost nothing like it. A cartoon with sex & violence?, not to mention cursing! Holy shit! That was almost unheard of then. You just felt cool and dirty watching it. I have the DVD and watching it today it brings back messages, but wow does it look dated. Still I'll always love Heavy Metal for taking a bold leap in animation.
hahaha by Orionsangels	Mar 26th, 2008 02:12:32 PM
That's odd. I meant to type memories not messages, but subconsciously I typed messages. What messages? That's weird. Maybe the movie had hidden messages? Anyway, maybe that green glowing ball that melts people will show up on Southpark
re: mr ahole ramirez by The Chalk Outline	Mar 26th, 2008 02:20:48 PM
Honestly, I haven't watched King of the Hill since, I believe it was season 5 or 6, when Hank finds out he has a brother in Japan or something. It was a good show though, I just didn't have the time for it anymore and haven't got back into it.

...has it been that long?
Hope its better than the last two by codefool	Mar 26th, 2008 03:46:41 PM
I am still a regular watcher or SP but god the last two episodes dissapointed. It just seems like they are thrown together in a hurry. And last weeks seems like they started one thing and didn't know where to go so they ended up somewhere else. Also I'm a getting a little annoyed at this basic formula they use when they have no good ideas. They 1. Find an issue of the day. 2. Find an old movie, replace chars. with SP chars. 3. Profit. Talk about the manatee aproach. I would say that about 60-70% of the last couple of seasons have been hit and miss. I like the movie spoofs when they are good, like Woodland Critter Christmas, but hate crap like last weeks, or Night of the Living Homeless, or the Lice one and many of the other spoofs. Where the high watermark, orignal eps that are funny like Jennifer Lopez, or the Goobacks? For every one of those you get 10 medicore crap eps.
Hmmmm Big! by DarthJedi	Mar 26th, 2008 04:11:06 PM
Gotta love Heavy Metal. Where would Fifth Element be without Harry Canyon?
The Britney Spears episode was actually really good. by JKrow21	Mar 26th, 2008 04:53:07 PM
At first I wasn't too fond of the episode until they actually got to their main point. The comparison between today's society and those before us was actually pretty smart.
Imaginationland/Warcraft: NOTHING in common with manatees by DarthCorleone	Mar 26th, 2008 04:54:48 PM
Yes, they are based on pop culture references. But as Cartman points out, the flaw with Family Guy is not that they use homages and allusions. It's that their homages and allusions are complete non sequiturs that have absolutely nothing to do with creating a strong narrative thread that smoothly integrates with the show's universe and characters. Fuck the Family Guy manatees.
"Must...jump...this...shark!" by fiester	Mar 26th, 2008 04:56:21 PM
Go, Cartman, go! You can do it!
How exactly would South Park jump the shark? by The Chalk Outline	Mar 26th, 2008 05:09:08 PM
I mean, seriously. They'd have to do something pretty damn insane compared to the insane stuff they're already done. That guy who mentioned them having an episode with them all in high school might have been on to something. A grownup Cartman could probably pull off something so bat-shit insane that they'd never top it in a million years.
for shits and giggles by ur-vile	Mar 26th, 2008 05:34:07 PM
Was curious if anyone liked "A Million Little Fibers"? I think the show has been pretty good for the most part, but I hated that one. What a load of crap

One things for sure by DOGSOUP	Mar 26th, 2008 05:48:53 PM
This episode alone will be 100 times better than Heavy Metal 2000. Yes Kevin Eastman, your wife is Julie Strain and she's hot and lets you fuck her friends. We know. There was no need for a two hour love letter to her that wastes Billy Idol totally. I have no hope whatsoever for a third one. the magic is gone used up on the original. And maybe this SP episode...
Fiester... by NormanJohnson	Mar 26th, 2008 05:56:53 PM
Saying something has "jumped the shark" is so lame, so not clever, so just... weak, man. The kind of douche that latches onto a five year old catch phrase and then week in / week out says the same fucking catch phrase in the talkbalks is the kind of douche that probably shouldn't even watch SP in the first place. I can't tell if you're patting yourself on the back every time you do this, or if you're actively trying to be the world's most annoying aicner. Christ, buddy...

Saying 'jumped the shark' has jumped the shark. See what I did there? Also, I'm fed up of SP haters shit-stirring EVERY TIME the show is mentioned on this site. That Family Guy bollocks has been resurrected more times than fuckin' Dracula.

Heavy Metal Is In My Blood by Autodidact	Mar 26th, 2008 08:37:46 PM
I was more or less obsessed with this movie when I was 12 years old. At that age, nothing, and I mean nothing, was more important to me than the following animated movies: 1. Transformers The Movie 2. Heavy Metal 3. Starchaser, The Legend of Orin At that time those were the only mainstream american feature length animations with any adult content that were not total bullshit put out by Ralph Bakshi. I discovered Fire and Ice a couple years later.
How South Park should jump the shark... by br1947	Mar 26th, 2008 08:53:28 PM

Wow. They went full out by jccalhoun	Mar 26th, 2008 09:14:56 PM
I love that they licensed the music and imitated the art style. Sweet. I also guarantee that within a year we will see some local news have a "news" story about kids smelling cat pee.

Never saw "Heavy Metal"... by kyle051554	Mar 26th, 2008 09:30:46 PM
...so I probably don't appreciate this episode as much as other people do, but damn if this wasn't funny as hell. Much, much better than the last two episodes.
NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!!!!! by WillowFan2001	Mar 26th, 2008 09:32:26 PM
Let's see. Good use of supporting characters. Cartman not being a complete asshole, and even better, going all Schindler. Kenny actually getting something to do for once. Eliot Spitzer reference. And a fantastic pop-culture parody. First great episode of Season 12!
Heavy Metal, Anne Frank, AND a Spitzer reference? by hillvalley	Mar 26th, 2008 09:32:33 PM
Awesome episode! By the way, what is the tits on TV rule these days? You can show as many as you want as long as they're not on a female human? Just curious...
Autodidact by Shut the Fuck up Donny	Mar 26th, 2008 09:32:40 PM
I just discovered Starchaser a few months ago and I was glad that I did. Now that is a movie that deserves more love and doesn't seem to get any.
I too have never seen Heavy Metal... by mefrog	Mar 26th, 2008 09:33:33 PM
...but there were some great fuckin' moments tonight. Especially the ending. It's funny, because I just heard of the high school "cheesing" story this morning on the news, and tonight I'm watching a South Park episode on it. Love Matt and Trey...

Boobs!!! Hahahahahaha!! by Darth_Nader	Mar 26th, 2008 09:59:32 PM
You see, they can't show naked boobs on women, but the FCC will allow them on their own as an 'artistic' expression. I can only hope the animators could tell us exactly how many boobs they showed tonight. Oh, and I squealed like a little girl when I saw the WWII bomber.
We're having a HEAVY METAL party this weekend!!! by Orionsangels	Mar 26th, 2008 10:18:05 PM
We're watching the Heavy Metal movie and getting high. This episode reminded us all. How beneficial this movie was for getting high.
They call it "cheesing" because it's FON to DUE by bonerama	Mar 26th, 2008 10:22:50 PM
Wow best ep since Imaginationland. The boob goblin in the Gazongas cave line was my favorite.
Regarding the FCC... by br1947	Mar 26th, 2008 10:24:37 PM
FCC has no jurisdiction on cable only networks such as Comedy Central. They can show whatever they want, they just choose to limit themselves. Only over-the-air networks have to deal with the FCC's bs. That's why you get alot darker, more violent and explicit content on cable.
South Park Fire & Ice Episode next by Orionsangels	Mar 26th, 2008 10:27:41 PM
or better yet just a full on Bakshi & Frank Frazetta episode
br1947... by WillowFan2001	Mar 26th, 2008 10:34:05 PM
The FCC doesn't regulate cable right now, but they're pushing for it. hard.
Yea, but I don't think they'll get it by br1947	Mar 26th, 2008 10:37:08 PM
The whole justification for FCC control is the idea that 'free tv' ie 'over-the-air' can be viewed by children. Where as with cable, someone is specifically paying to get that content, which implies consent on the part of a parent or guardian. I look for them to pass a-la-carte long, long, before they get control of cable, and even that is a long shot.

The titties....I want to touch them.
duality by Stevie Grant	Mar 26th, 2008 11:49:21 PM
South Park combines heinous, iconoclastic, down right filthy humor with usually intelligent, sometimes brilliant, social commentary. Almost always, when an episode isn't that funny, it is designed to make a meaningful, interesting point. But, I'm a devoted fan, so this just might be my rationalization of some of the not-so-funny episodes.

Heavy Metal - great freakin movie by JoeSixPack	Mar 27th, 2008 12:22:56 AM
Not really, but the animation remains some of the best ever put to film. Wish the stories were better.
Joe by Stevie Grant	Mar 27th, 2008 12:30:16 AM
that is a good point: I've never been able to stomach more than 15 minutes of Heavy Metal at a time, given the blood and gore and weirdness (minus the "rockin' tits"). I guess it has been the animation that made me watch parts of it every time I've seen it on. That and all the things I listed as a negative (I can deal with them in small doses).

That was more like the quality South Park episodes of old. Kenny chasing titties, Gerald stripping down to his undies, cat urine - thats the good stuff.
MAtt and Trey are really ripping on... by Kid Z	Mar 27th, 2008 07:42:34 AM
...Fox News lately. Wonder what Fox did to cause the falling out... besides just generally being evil facists, that is. Great episode, by the way, they even got the "Loc-Nar" in there.

best episode this season by palewook	Mar 27th, 2008 08:08:15 AM
and no, south park aint dead. if you think that you haven't been watching for the past 2 years to 3 years. they keep it relevant and tend to be funny while doing it. at times the show is the most cutting edge social commentary in america currently aired.

"I couldn't stay away from your rockin' tits!" by seniorspeilbergio	Mar 27th, 2008 09:28:41 AM
Awesome. Funny as shit. What amazes me about this show is that when they parody these old pop culture icons, it's in a way that's completely appropriate to the story and what that particular pop reference kind of symbolized for the time. Heavy Metal was so about early 80's stoner imagery. That's probably why I found it kind of disturbing and inconsistant when I was 10. If i was a teenager sparking up a doobie in 1981, I'm sure I would have thought it was the coolest thing ever. I love that they were able to copy that animation style so perfectly. Cracked me up. Too bad it was a half hour show, otherwise maybe they could have fit Den in there somewhere.
This was as good episode by Series7	Mar 27th, 2008 10:03:12 AM
But i think after Imaginationland, South Park has been in a funk. Guitar Queer-O was good. The whole twist with having Kyle father being the crazy drug guy instead of Randy. Even though Randy is ultimatly funnier then Gerald. That line Randy had in the end killed me. But overall unless you were a huge fan of Heavy Metal this episode was only so-so. You know if the whole Spitzer thing hadn't happened it would have been Randy as the drug addict. Maybe they are trying to get away from Randy as being there go to adult. Which I don't like because he is the funniest character on the show. Also the whole Cartman Schindlers List thing just didn't work. They've made Cartman a big pussy this season. OH WELL. I'll wait for the Darkon Episode pitting Randy's tribe against Cartman's.

Anything Bakshi (sp?) touches is evil!

Do not care for the new South Park Studios set up. Nor map quest for that matter. AICN please do not follow the current trend of Extra useless shit to your site. Stay gold ginger boy, stay gold.
If only cartman had cheesed then we could've had a reference to by logicalnoise01	Mar 27th, 2008 10:17:25 AM
a pudgy small dicked den who'd probably let the girl die and go fuck the evil sorceress.
Great episode! by Buckys_Kick_Ass_Arm	Mar 27th, 2008 10:23:26 AM
I'm really interested in knowing how long this episode was in development for. usually 9 days, but this looks like a mammoth project compared to the past 2 episodes. I'm also kinda relieved that the 'cat urine in face' thing is sorta considered a normal thing to do. My fucking wife can shut the fuck up now and give it a rest. Cheers to Parker/Stone Co.!
Cartman is a pussy? by NormanJohnson	Mar 27th, 2008 10:57:25 AM
Um... he kinda like injected Kyle with his Aids blood as a form of revenge in the first episode. Which, I don't know, strikes me as, you know, kind of super fucking evil and fucked up maybe? You know, NOT pussy-like? A Darkon ep could be kinda funny... feels like ground that has already been tread but I dunno, that could be fun.
Raymar, HEAVY METAL is not a Bakshi film by TimBenzedrine	Mar 27th, 2008 11:07:54 AM
It was definately influenced by Bakshi's "anything goes" approach to animation, but he didn't have anything to do with this film. If I'm not mistaken, Bakshi was making "American Pop" at the time. HEAVY METAL has a few good story ideas but overall the movie is a mess.Animation in the early eighties had really fallen into the dark ages,and few studios were really capable of doing feature quality animation. The animation for the different sequences was farmed out to animation studios all over the world, and stories like DEN and Captain Sternn really suffer from poor animation that barely comes close to the artwork that inspired it. I think Taarna , Harry Canyon, and the WWII Zombie sections come off better because they were written especially for the movie.(Taarna came about when they couldn't get the rights to Mobeius' "AARZAK" comic strip. Taarna copies Mobeius' style, and so does Harry Canyon)If the movie HEAVY METAL has any kind of morale it's this: Animation is fun to watch when you're high, but watching animation made by artists that were stoned out of their mind can be a really tedious experience no matter how much weed you've smoked.
NormanJohnson by Series7	Mar 27th, 2008 11:13:41 AM
Yeah the AIDS thing was evil. But then they spend the rest of the time with Cartmen dealing with AIDs. I am just saying compared to typical Cartman its not as evil. Its like the Tsst episode, he is torn between a complete psychopath and being a good kid. Like the whole Cat thing, that would typically be a Stan role. Here's what I think it is. Matt and Trey have possibly gotten either too old themselves or out of ideas with ways to keep the kids seem like they are still like 8-10 years old. Like these past three episodes should be called, The Teen Years. Like I know the shit they've done isn't that much different then what they've done in the past, just they don't feel like kids any more. Stan and Kyle feel like Matt and Trey now. About the Darkon idea, yeah South Park has covered similar territory before. Like the Civil War re-enactment, LOTR, the PSP one and Make Love Not Warcraft. But I feel like... shit after thinking about that I realized how what I was thinking of is pretty much along the same lines as Make Love Not Warcraft, which was amazing. But I still think that there is something about Darkon that is soooo geeky and interesting that SP could make something new with it. I mean they hit all the religions.
Interesting by NormanJohnson	Mar 27th, 2008 11:33:02 AM
I kinda think the kids are (slowly) growing up too -- but I think that's a great thing. Instead of speaking to them running out of ideas, it's embracing new things. The show has been on 12 years, and if you've watched since the first eps there's a definite progression both in storytelling but also some of the characters. Not that they should be adults or even -- please, no -- teens, but aging them even a tiny bit to me seems like a pretty good idea. If M&T were really out of ideas, the kids would always be 8 year olds and nothing would change. And I actually think it's interesting and kinda great that Cartman, as sick and evil as he is, loves his cat. It's a different side to him, it makes sense, and having Cartman be like the evil cat hater or even the pusher selling cats... well, THAT would have been the obvious route. Instead, much like the Tsst episode, they opened the character up a bit. I mean fuck, don't all the evil overlords in movies have pet cats? I love that he's got a soft spot in him. But then again, I never once got tired of the boob jokes last night. But yeah, the thing about SP is that they could take a Darkon thing and make it new. Could be cool.
I surprised people missed the irony of kyles dad... by logicalnoise01	Mar 27th, 2008 11:47:45 AM
I mean gerald pretty much equaled hitler. He banned the cats for something he was guilty for(hitler also had jewish heritage). and
The AIDS thing was typical for Cartman. by I Hope You Die	Mar 27th, 2008 12:53:56 PM
Cartman's always a huge pussy when something happens to HIM. That duplicity is an entrenched part of his character. The cats were a bit out of character but his insensitivity to the Holocaust was the intended joke. Didn't work well though. Maybe Cartman just has a weakness for pussy.
Harry Canyon by DeckardBladeRunner	Mar 27th, 2008 01:26:13 PM
TimBenzedrine; Harry Canyon was based directly on the work of Juan Gimenez- he created the work for the film, and his artwork is very un-Moebius. http://www.juangimenez.com/gal eria/index.html Take a look at the bottom of his gallery for some of the Harry Conyon spec sheets. Also if you have never heard of Juan Gimenez- google the Metabarons- it is great!

Kudos to both of you for your insights. Spot-on and informative. I'm going to the link to check out the art. Thanks! BTW, does anyone know whether Allegro Non Troppo has ever been released on DVD?
At least one person is going to try the cast piss thing by drewlicious	Mar 27th, 2008 04:22:24 PM
I just know it. I think I officially lost it when Kyle's Dad unveiled his apparatus. That just takes too much thought.
Hey TimBenzedrine by Aikofan	Mar 27th, 2008 05:39:19 PM
Harry Canyon was designed by Juan Gimenez, a fairly prolific Heavy Metal contributor. One of his critters was used in Fifth Element.
Last week was a parody of THE LOTTERY by s0nicdeathmonkey	Mar 27th, 2008 06:36:54 PM
Not Body Snatchers. Jesus, it's a pretty famous story. But two extended allusion episodes in a row? Really? Oh well, they were both funny.
Not just the lottery but the Wicker Man too.... by drewlicious	Mar 27th, 2008 07:31:38 PM
And it didn't parody Invasion of the Body Snatchers, it just made reference to it with the paparazzi.
YEAH! by Dazzler69	Mar 27th, 2008 10:13:15 PM
I never yelled "YEAH" so much at the tv during this ep. I can't wait for the next movie also that is planned for the original movie.

TV Platinum, straight up by g-ride9000	Mar 28th, 2008 10:44:02 AM
I remember the first time I drank a bottle of Tussin. Ohhh baby did I enter that crazy boobtastic world! Then it really kicked in and I thought I was dieing. Then I pucked pink, then it was cool again. Then I thought there were 50 people in my house, were they cops? Then I was falling for a while....It went on for hours like this. I cant wait for my kids to discover this shit.
Thanks for the correction by TimBenzedrine	Mar 28th, 2008 11:19:50 AM
I knew I was asking for it when I typed "and so does Harry Canyon". I used to have The Art of HEAVY METAL somewhere in my library but I have to confess I haven't looked at it for almost ten years. I didn't mean to casually dismiss anyone's contribution to this movie.
TimB by Stunt Vocalist 709	Mar 28th, 2008 02:05:58 PM
I never took your comment as a dismissal of anyone's work. Your comments forwarded the discussion. No worries...

need to go obtain heavy metal
LogicalNoise by Beldo84	Mar 29th, 2008 12:15:18 AM
Pretty sure it was an Elliott Spitzer parody more than a Hitler parody, what with him banning the very thing he was guilty of, and of course the tired-as-hell hate stare of his wife as he stood at the podium apologizing.
If you haven't seen HEAVY METAL... by Thunder Mammoth	Mar 29th, 2008 02:41:16 AM
...you will never really understand. You'll think you understand things... but you don't. Only then, after watching it over and over, possibly hundreds of times, will the true power of uhluhtC finally reveal itself to you. You really owe it to yourself. No self-respecting geek could live without having seen this flick at least once in their lifetime. C'mon!?!
B-plot : The Diary of Anne Frank by ulcer	Mar 30th, 2008 10:05:31 PM
Nice reference in the Cartman b-plot
That was pretty good by INWOsuxRED	Mar 31st, 2008 09:22:42 AM
I finally caught a replay and it was the funniest episode I've seen in quite a while. I don't really care what they reference or how many references an episode has, I just care that I can get into the plot and that I laugh.
