Putting the Fear of God in Halloween

I've never been a super die-hard spookhouse fan, but I must admit, I've always wanted to go check out one of these crazy-ass Fundamentalist Christian Hell Houses at Halloween...especially one with actors that say "hoochie mama."

Monty Python Reunion
monty_python_truth.jpg

Starting this Sunday night, IFC will be airing the 6-part documentary Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer's Cut). It's an exhaustive start-to-finish history of the groundbreaking comedy troupe, featuring interviews with the original members, archival footage and conversations with people they've worked with and influenced over the years, like Lorne Michaels, Eddie Izzard and Stephen Merchant.

According to Python member Terry Jones,

This is the documentary I always hoped that would be made -- something so complete and so faithful to the truth that I don't need to watch it.

Six hours of in-depth Python interviews and never-before-seen material? I think I just soiled my Spanish Inquisition robes in excitement.

To celebrate the premiere of the documentary, last night the Ziegfeld Theatre in NYC hosted the remaining members of Monty Python (plus a cardboard cutout of the late, great Graham Chapman) for an extensive audience Q&A -- full video after the jump.

Splunge!

Blame It on The Alcohol

Alcohol? K-hole? Avant-garde theatre performance?

What do you think?

R.I.P. Captain Lou Albano

Wrestling legend Captain Lou Albano passed away today at the age of 76. (Non-Wrestlemaniacs might remember him as Cyndi Lauper's dad in her video for "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" -- she also wrote the foreword to his autobiography, released last year.)

I might just have to stick a mournful rubber band or two on my face for the rest of the day...

UPDATE: Since the original video of NRBQ rocking out with their former manager Capt. Lou was taken off YouTube, here's another good sampler: an interview with Greg "The Hammer" Valentine by Mean Gene Okerlund. Nobody could rock a beer gut quite like Captain Lou.

Kid Preacher vs. Evolution, en Español

Regardless of whether the JesusFish on your car has feet or not, you cannot deny the sheer awesomeness of this kid. ¡Qué cojones!

If, like me, you would like to watch this video accompanied by Survivor's "Eye of The Tiger," I've taken the liberty of embedding it below. You're welcome.

School Answering Machine Tells It Like It Is

Real or fake? Either way, your kid is stupid and you're a terrible parent.

Larry David vs. Plastic Package

We've all been there.

Great opening to the last episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm -- I'm really looking forward to the Seinfeld not-a-reunion story arc that starts this weekend.

Oz Yourself

So I guess The Wizard of Oz is coming out on 8-track or something next week, so Netflix whipped up a promo tie-in even more creepy, unsettling and fun than a barrel of flying monkeys -- Oz Yourself.

Unfortunately, my afro didn't translate, but it did keep my shades, which was pretty cool. And by "cool" I mean "nightmarish."

Have fun with it, kids -- I think I'm going to try uploading a Darth Vader pic next....

(Update: movie now after jump...stupid autoplayers.)

Seniors, Flu Shots and...Strippers?

As a Floridian, national news stories from my back yard are usually a source of disappointed sighs or outright face-palms. But this story on CNN today, shot at the gentlemen's club right up the street from where I live, had me wiping away tears of pride.

I'm Still Not Here to Make Friends

Reality TV fans: if you thought this phrase was, like, sooooo last year, you're more wrong than a Tila Tequila-brand chastity belt.

And yes, I'm pretty sure that is Eve Plumb, TV's Jan Brady, by the way.

HOSTAGE: A Love Story with Zachary Quinto

The intense star of Heroes and Star Trek flexes his comedic chops. The concept seems somewhat derivative of Mr. Show's "I'll Marry Your Stupid Ass" sketch, but it's really funny nonetheless.

Probably NSFW due to multiple high-decibel F-bombs.

Biblical Bestiality for Kids

(Sort of. Possibly NSFW, depending on your boss's attitude toward Leviticus and/or "furry" fetishists.)
