You gotta do Paranormal Activity next. I haven't seen it yet, but it's got an 80% so far on Rotten Tomatoes. Pretty damn good for a horror flick. Even Roger Ebert seems to like it.

I remember hearing about Anvil (the documentary) on Conan. Anvil (the band) performed after the interview on Anvil (the documentary), and they did look like they were enjoying themselves there.

Good review, but I'm surprised it wasn't The Invention of Lying or Whip It or A Serious Man(maybe that's still only limited release).

However, I am confused as to your suggestion that Metallica is bad, excluding St.Anger.

Just thinking abut Wallace and Gromit gives me painful nostalgia. Stop it.

I'm almost considering renting it just for old time's sake...

Ah Wallace and gromit I need to dig up an old vhs player so I can watch them again and remember why whenever I see a penguin I keep an eye on it.
A penguin.... OR A CHICKEN!?
But it was just a rubber glove..or was it BLAST I have played right into the chickens hands!

Loaf and Death is really cool, especially since Grommit finally gets a romance of his own.
I coulda sworn that he had a crush on someone in a close shave...
anyway, i love wallac and grommit, and ive been watching it since i was at least 5 years old.

I think the dog in that was both male and, as it later turned out, a killer robot. Not a formula for romance, I don't think. If you're talking about the sheep, I still don't think so.

I must rent this new Wallace and Gromit movie.
its not a movie its a short. unless of course your talking of curse of the were rabbit(which is great). i have to say even though its predictable(on purpose im sure) i cant help but love the series. it just has that special charm. Like the opening song in every one of them boy do i love that song.

Something completely unrelated: Your show's intro and extro music are really good, I wish The Escapist would make new music in a similar style for Zero Punctuation (I really dislike its current intro music).
Have you listened to the full version of the ZP theme? They miss out a really good bit in the videos, and the full version hangs together really well.

OT: How well does W&G do in the USA? They had a movie deal, but it fell through as Curse of the Warerabbit didn't do to well in the States, or at least that's what I heard. Loads of great British comedies go over to America to try and make a fortune, but end up failing.

I mean Tommy Cooper bombed in the USA. How is that possible?!

No, where would I find it?
Go to a ZP video. to the bottom left of the screen is a button marked "music". Press that and it will take you to The Escapist Music page. From there you can download a selection of Music.

Cool, thanks!

Man, they should really switch!
They should use the part from 0:19 to 0:42 instead.
That high-pitched, melodic guitar-whine is awesome.
