PIRATES OF DARK WATER the complete series coming to WBA!!

Warner Bros has a online made-to-order (or burn-to-order) service DVD Store called "Warner Bros. Archive." Through this store they have been offering back catalog of titles that retailers may not be interested in... but collectors definately are!! When you order (or preorder) a DVD it is made using the finest technolgies for a high grade DVD-R to play in your DVD player or game station (*do not put these in your PC as they are copy protected & you will lose the data*).
I bought a couple of their cult classic titles before & I can assure you that the quality, art covers, & cases are as good as anything you would get in the store & an amazing way to get unattainable titles. WBA has done an fantastic job so far with the very successful back catalog titles the past couple years & now they are getting into their vast cartoon archieves & releasing the 90's adventure classic "Pirates Of Dark Water The Complete Series!! " This is the future of non-mainstream dvd releases & let me assure you that WBA has more great cartoon titles to come, with Thundarr The Barbarian & Josie & The Pussy Cats in Outer Space coming in Septembe,r & many more promised throughout 2011!!

Preorder Pirates of Dark Water from their site or from Amazon...

The Sect Of Gadget Hackwrench

You remember "Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers" right? A popular cartoon from the late 80's/early 90's starring Disney's Chipmunk duo? Well what you probably didn't know is that the cute girl mouse team member named "Gadget" has her own religious cult in Russia!!


“She is the divine being, the most untouched and perfect sibling of the great God on Earth”, say one of the participants. “Why I love her? It’s a stupid question, how can’t I love the Goddess?”. “She is strict, cute, optimistic and her level of technical knowledge is unachievable for a mortal being.” those are just a few of the testimonies of the sect followers.

Check out her religious followers in action...
It's amazing that a character who has had no new media in over 15 years could have a religion based on her with devoted followers...but it's true.

XENOZOIC: Amazon price $26.37

Paperback: 352 pages Publisher: Flesk Publications (November 1, 2010) Language: English ISBN-10: 1933865318 ISBN-13: 978-1933865317 Product Dimensions: 11 x 8.5 x 1.2 inches

"What strange new world, to have such creatures in it!" Forced into hiding by a global ecological cataclysm, humans emerge from their underground warrens half a millennium later to discover that the Earth has been totally transformed. All of the familiar flora and fauna are gone, replaced by a radically altered natural order populated by rampaging dinosaurs and strange, new creatures. It takes guts, grim determination, ingenuity and a whole lot of old-fashioned luck just to survive, much less thrive, in this alien wilderness-all qualities that ace mechanic Jack Tenrec, lovely scientist Hannah Dundee and their friends possess in abundance. But even the worthiest of these hardy souls are hard-pressed to surmount the obstacles presented by their new homeland. And when those trials are further compounded by the underhanded and selfish actions of the cutthroat human scavengers they encounter, even the best equipped and bravest among them might not endure. Xenozoic combines lush and richly realized ink-and-brush artwork with a pulp-fueled narrative to create an action-packed fantasy-an unrelenting adventure that also serves as a subtle cautionary fable concerning the unforeseen consequences that shortsighted present-day decisions might have upon future generations.

Satoshi Kon 1963-2010 (8.24.10)

from AAN:
Jim Vowles, a member of the Otakorp Board of Directors for the Otakon convention, has announced on Tuesday that director Satoshi Kon has passed away. Kon was 47. The staff of Otakon confirmed his passing with MADHOUSE studio founder Masao Maruyama. Maruyama had wrote on his Twitter account on Tuesday night in Japan that an important director of the studio had suddenly passed away. However, Maruyama declined to name the director at the time.

Kon began working as a manga creator on such works as Kaikisen (1990) before deciding to delve into the anime industry with the art design of Hiroyuki Kitakubo and Katsuhiro Otomo's Roujin Z video in 1991. He then worked on the script and art direction of "Magnetic Rose," a segment of Otomo's 1995 science-fiction anthology film Memories.

Kon first drew worldwide attention with his feature film directorial debut, the psychological suspense film Perfect Blue, in 1997. He would follow that with a string of critically acclaimed anime projects: Millennium Actress (2001), Tokyo Godfathers (2003), Paranoia Agent (2004), and Paprika (2006). At the time of his passing, Kon was working at MADHOUSE on a new feature film called Yume-Miru Kikai.

He died from pancriotic cancer @ 46. =(

* On a personal note, "Perfect Blue" is one of my all time favorite anime movies, Kon was never a guest at Otakon, but I was lucky enough to have producer Masao Maruyama sign & personalize my dvd in 2005.
Kon was one of the best up & coming Japanese animation directors, & was one of the few I recognized that excited me with each announcement. He will be missed...

PRODUCING PARKER Season 2 officially coming in February 2011!!

Kim Cattrall Returns For Second Season Of Producing Parker FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: (TORONTO – July 29, 2010) – Breakthrough Films & Television announced today that Kim Cattrall has signed on as the voice of “Dee” for the second season of Producing Parker. In addition, the animated sitcom will also feature the voice talents of Jason Priestley (Call Me Fitz, Beverly Hills 90210) as Parker’s high school bully, Catherine O’Hara (Best in Show) as Parker’s cumbersome Mother, and Mark McKinney (Kids in the Hall) as Parker’s new boss.

This season, host Dee lands the show in jail, goes to rehab, and finally climbs the ratings charts to number one. While producer Parker, has her challenges managing Dee, her own love life proves the far greater challenge as she continues to fall for all the wrong guys: a radical environmentalist, her high school bully, a ghost, and, as always, dreamy network head, Blake Bellamy. Meanwhile, segment producer Simon, has finally started bringing his A-Game to work: plotting to put Parker on the show, making first contact with aliens and even applying for a job at Hard News Report. Season Two of Producing Parker takes this high-stakes, irreverent animated comedy to the next hilarious level. Returning voice cast members include Kristen Booth (MVP, Young People F***ing) as “Parker Kovak”; Aaron Abrams (Slings And Arrows, Amelia, Flash of Genius) as “Simon Nolan,” the Dee Show’s resident copywriter; and Peter Keleghan (Cheaper by the Dozen 2, Murdoch Mysteries) as “Blake Bellamy,” the charismatic station owner.

Producer Christin Simms says, "We're all very excited about the amazing voice talent we've attracted to the series this season.
