[NSFW] It's almost time to Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys -- the final episode of the Trailer Park Boys aired in December, 2008. (As Bubbles says, "It's a dirty, sassy liquor. So sassy.") Producer Mike Clattenburg says that there will be a second movie, "Countdown to Liquor Day", to be released late in 2009. After that, though, the TPB franchise will buy the great double-wide in the sky. [pervyously, preevisilly or however th' fuck you say it.] More TPB Youtubery: • All of the episodes • Plenty Outtakes Trailer Park Boys (in character) on: • The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos: 1 2 • on QTV • on G4 • Walking in on the sports report • at the Toronto Film Festival • Bubbles flies a jet on This Hour has 22 Minutes • Pre-TPB Bubbles footage • Bubbles singing "Liquor and Whores" and more, live on stage at The Ricky, Bubbles & Julian Community Service Variety Show More of a Randy & Mr. Lahey fan? • A contentious interview on the CBC News at Six with John Dunsworth (breaking kayfabe) • Bo-Bandy's Bubbles impression, live on stage • Randy & Lahey hosting the Gin Blossoms in Surrey • Randy & Lahey on Reign Supreme Sports And: TPB, the Lego edition.

Understanding the WGA Writer's Strike

GoodAaron — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 19:10:15 -0800

As the Writer's Guild of America strike wears on into its second week, it seems appropriate to remember why they're striking in the first place. If you ask me, the terms seem almost too reasonable. But in the defense of the studios, I'm sure the businessmen involved have gotten used to spending those millions of dollars, and wouldn't want to see them go. Now that Broadway has shut down in allegiance to their Hollywood compatriots, things are looking grim for anything to be resolved without more financial bloodshed.

Welcome Back, Kotter

The inevitable deal for a Welcome Back, Kotter movie has been struck. It will be scripted (and DIRECTED) by Tom Brady, responsible for not one, but two Rob Schneider vehicles. And in the lead role as Kotter we have ... Ice Cube???

And Bruce Willis as Sandy Cheeks!

If you worship SpongeBob Squarepants as much as I do, then you know that superb voice talent is one of the things that makes this particular cartoon so wonderfully entertaining. But what you might not realize is just how much top-drawer showbiz talent the show's executive producer, Stephen Hillenburg, has assembled to bring his cast of wacky undersea characters to life: film actors like Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Ernest Borgnine (Mermaid Man), and John Rhys-Davies (The Evil Man Ray), along with teevee legends Tim Conway (Barnacle Boy) and Charles Nelson Reilly (The Dirty Bubble). Who knows, maybe they'll they cast Gary Oldman in the role of Plankton for the upcoming film?
