Saturday Night Thread, Again.

Yeah, so I'm about to settle in for a seven hour focus-fest to get the next article done. Meantime, here's your Bored Saturday Night Thread. If time permits, the Midnight Movie will be Halloween 6. Chat away.

Hmm…what to talk about…

Muppet Show Season 1 comes out on DVD on tuesday, and Simpsons Season 6 on the 16th, whose box is in the shape of Homer’s head.

It seems that from this site: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=3848

It seems that the heads of the next 4 seasons’ box sets will be in this order: Marge (7th), Lisa (8th), Maggie( 9th), and Bart (10th). No word yet on what the next 6+ seasons will look like, and if some new format replaces DVDs by then…

Speaking of Tv shows on DVD, could someone who has the Clarissa Explains It All season 1 DVD get me the quote from the No T.V. episode, the part were Ferguson comes down stairs after getting the high score of a video game?

You know….I dumped my girlfriend last weekend to do this. Screw her….this is much more interesting. Sitting here watching The Black Hole if anyone’s interested

I’m an 18 year old white male living in a Canadian suburb. Help! or else I will continue posting really annoying comments about how I’m drunk and bored…I’m serious, I’ll do it…don’t push me mister.

E.Claire is tucked away for the night, Mrs. Manimal is working on photo album/scrapbook, and I am paying bills, planning lessons and watching SIMPSONS season 2. All is right with the world.

Halloween 6 huh? Historical only for the fact that you can actually watch Donald Pleasance dying on film.

Chestnuts roasted by The Manimal @ 08/06/2005 9:41 PM

I’m hoping someone here can help. Does anybody remember the name of the Star Wars board game where you destroyed the Death Star. I remember it have a little clear base that you put 3 X-Wings on and you went around the board and up the trench. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Chestnuts roasted by Joe in OH @ 08/06/2005 9:59 PM

Kenner made Destroy Death Star and Escape from the Death Star board games when the movie was first out.

Chestnuts roasted by Dohopoki @ 08/06/2005 10:07 PM

Destroy Death is it! Thanks Dohopoki!

Chestnuts roasted by Joe in OH @ 08/06/2005 10:21 PM

I defy anyone to watch "Halloween 6" and actually be able to follow what’s going on, especially in the last half.

I have the Escape From Death Star game somewhere in my basement. I remember those little cardboard figures you stuck on bases quite well.

I actually fell asleep before the last half or so of Halloween 5, but that was more to do with being really tired than being really bored. It seemed a lot better than the reviews I’ve read say — and I mean reviews from horror fans, not those predisposed to hate hate hate Hallo. From what I hear though, the last half is where everything falls apart.

The Man In Black?

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 08/06/2005 10:32 PM

Lifetime is showing Golden Palace, the Golden Girls spinoff, at 6:30 and 11:00 if anyone is interested.

Chestnuts roasted by Anne Packrat @ 08/06/2005 10:50 PM

Anyone up for some Young Sherlock Holmes.

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Mr. Mr. @ 08/06/2005 10:50 PM

I just got done with all the paperwork and horse shit my band had to take care of for our first album to be made. I’m exhausted from it, but excited! Three weeks and we’ll be holding it in our hands!
Click my name to check out our myspace page, we have free downloads and it’s really cool!

Chestnuts roasted by Myke @ 08/06/2005 10:56 PM

I’m not seeing any Golden Palace on Lifetime at 6:30 or 11:00. I guess I’ll have to live with the Jetsons.

Chestnuts roasted by Dohopoki @ 08/06/2005 11:03 PM

Glad to see that the blog is less cluttered than when I last checked. *clears throat*

Where is everybody and why am I here? One little nugget of interest from today’s trip to WAL-MART: There was part of a STAR WARS display laying around and I put it in the bottom of my cart and walked out with it. The "greeter" stopped me and inquired where I got it,etc. Then, she asked me if I wanted her to throw it away. "Since when did customers become part of the custodial staff?" I wondered to myself. It is now in my garage. Yea!

There’s an 80′s slasherfest on IFC tonight of Friday the 13th and My Bloody Valentine. Other than that nothing is up.

Chestnuts roasted by JLAJRC @ 08/06/2005 11:27 PM

Yea, I’m all about the Slashback on IFC. They tricked me yesterday and I thought that Friday the 13th was gonna be on, but it wasn’t. So now, after I slept the entire day away, I’m gonna watch me some 80′s movies and take vicodin. <3 I rock.

Chestnuts roasted by rebecca @ 08/06/2005 11:44 PM

no, Golden Palace was not on tonight…:( I checked

It’s a pretty good show, but you can tell they ran out of jokes, since they’re still talking about Dorothy being so big and strong with a deep voice.

Also, did anyone notice that in the 4th or 5th ep. that Blanche’s hair got like 5 shades darker. Nice try, but it looked better a little lighter.

Cheech is a pretty good character, but when they had him working with his best friend/cuckolder…that was kind of stretching it.

That kid can go die…he bugs me with his fake New York accent. Dorothy and Sophia never had "accents", they were from Brooklyn, but this kid sounds like a cartoon.

Otherwise, just sitting here, smokin…got done watching Airplane! like 10 min. ago….Surely, it was funny as always!

I have to say I’m (almost) always late getting into things. I just visited Homestarrunner for the first time last night.

This is because I found out Mike was one of the guys in All the Real Girls. His character’s name was StrongBad. Surprise Surprise.

Well if I look stupid for not knowing about Homestarruner at least I own All the Real Girls. It’s in my top 10, you should check it out.

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/06/2005 11:47 PM

oh yea, I was gonna ask if anyone remembered those awesome shopping sprees at Toys R’ Us that you could win on Nickelodeon? I remember I wanted to win SO BAD and thinking I could do so much better than the stupid kids that they showed.

Chestnuts roasted by rebecca @ 08/06/2005 11:50 PM

I remember those contest and always wanted to win pretty bad too. To the extent of making a my dream shopping list and carrying it around just in case I won with out warning. I don’t think I ever even entered looking back on it.

Chestnuts roasted by Dohopoki @ 08/06/2005 11:55 PM

Way to go, Manimal! When my mom worked at a grocery store, she scored me a couple of displays, but they were of things I was only moderately interested in and weren’t worth my valuable bedroom real estate at the time, so they all got tossed. She got me a big Blue’s Clues display, but since my interest in that show began and ended with Steve (and he wasn’t represented), there was no point. That was definitely one of my weirder TV crushes. Hey, here’s a question: What’s your favorite show to watch for all the wrong reasons? (Bonus points for mentioning the reasons.) It doesn’t have to be some pretty face either. Maybe you’re like my Grandpa and like watching Nascar for crash potential. I just like hearing about other people’s guilty pleasures (since I have so many of my own.)

Chestnuts roasted by Lori @ 08/06/2005 11:57 PM

Halloween 6? Good choice. Halloween 6 is a pretty good movie, but the version that is out pales in comparison to the Producer’s Cut of the movie. The P-Cut basically has a smoother plot and it explains a lot more. I do have to admit, that Halloween 5 is one of the weaker sequels, but still better than what it’s portrayed to be. But of course, I’m an avid Halloween fan, so I think they all have their good points, except that piece of trash Resurrection. You’ll get to find out about the Man in Black in H6. Guy’s got some balls to be chilling with Michael Myers.

Eh, I just got back from a wrestling show, and now im tired and bored and sitting here with nothing to do…..so, heres a question: What is everyone’s thoughts on the crapfest known as Halloween 3: Season of the Witch?
