(PREVIOUSLY ON BOGGER BOX OFFICE...)
In exchange for a forgotten memory, Joe-Jack put his very soul on the line in a Ghost Town, However, the film triggered the Rascist Alarm, calling Eamonn to Action, thus nulling the contract. But However the SatanicOstrich let slip a shocking revelation. The figure that looked like Joe-jack that pushed Edwin Tantalus into a shop freezer in 82, was not him! Reeling from this revelation we cut the lunch room of Enlightened Towers
...Maybe 80's lad left us a clue?
-Wotyamean?
-If Edwin Tantalus is an alternate version of our 80's Lad then that means they must share more than just appearance. Maybe 80's Lad is a latent genious.
-Ya mean he's made o'condoms?
-How can anyone mistake the word Latent with latex...It means he must have known that someday this will happen. and no doubt left something that will get him back.
(Searching the room, they find his diary un-written for 31 years. On christmas 2012 the note Sick of 21 Century, might do something i regret. on march of last year, the message EAMONN, IF ALL ELSE FAILS, USE THE POWER ON THIS With today's film taped on the page.)
AND NOW OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION!
This weeks theme: Magic Bus by the Who
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl9bvuAV-Ao
We here as Internet reviewers are in the business of Nostalgia, While personal taste is an x-factor the real Litmus Test for nostalgia is Age and Background. As i said before we didn't have Dragonball in Ireland but The U.K. with Sky did. At that time, You had shows that were only on Sky and shows that were only on Terrestial. Hell i was content as a child to get the welsh stations really clear until the Mount Leinster station switched to digital.
Ah Irish and British 90's childrens tv eh, I'm sure I'm bringing back memories of Zig and Zig and Dustin the Turkey on the Den, Dara o'Briann With Hair! Blue Peter, the return of How and Knightmare, A pre-Disney takeover of Art Attack. Citv without annoying presenters, Live and Kicking, Beast wars and Beast Machines on a fledgling Tv3.
One programing block for children that you didn't want to watch was Channel 4's block of 20+ year old cartoons sold cheap by BBC. Including the original cartoons of todays film.
The Magic Roundabout is a French Stop-Motion series from the sixties. The Plot to this series? ASK ME ARSE! Because no-one knows if they're was a plot or if any of the episodes has any arc or device to them. In other words. every ep was Bat-shit Crazy! and thus was deemed a pre-school program. Suffice to say that because of it's lunacy it had a cult following with stoners!
Before i start I'm Reviewing The English Dub and not the far worse American Dub.
So the film begins rather excitedly for a kiddies film as Zebedee (the Voice of Sir Ian Mckellen) is chased by a simaler springed creature, whose touch can freeze things. It pushes Zebedee of a cliff, but it's all a dream, He exclaims it's Name, Zeebad
Zeebad.
It's a kids film i know but bit on the nose on terms with the name i think.
So the Opening shows us the village that the Magic Roundabout surrounds. I always thought that the Roundabout sent the children to Dougal's world and not sharing a shared existance. But be that as it may, we are Introduced to our Heroes, Sugar Dependent dog Dougal (voiced by Robbie Williams), Voice of reason, Florence (Voice of Kylie Minogue), Cultured Cow(no not an insult, she really is a cow!) Ermintrude(Joanna Lumley) and Hippy Rabbit Dylan(Bill Nighy)
Ermintrude is hosting an operetta as lovestruck snail Brian (Jim"The-English-Guy-whose-In-Everything"Broadbent) Looks on. As 'Trude sings badly, Dyan starts to play You Really got me going by the Kinks. Distracted no-one sees that Dougal has left to upturn a sweet truck. Remember I said that this show has a following towards drug Culture? Well Dougal is addicted to some White Powder, man!:Sugar!
While trying to steal all the sweets, Dougal goes on a joyride that crashes into the roundabout freeing Zeebad(voice of Tom Baker)and a toy soldier and Freezing the children inside. So the animals summon Zebedee who wants to plunge the world into Nuclear Winter. Zeebad gives life to the toy soldier called Sam (the voice of Ray Winston), a stereotypical Niven-esque, Queen and Country, Old boy-type charector, played for laughs, he sends sam on a mission to collect 3 magical diamonds, Diamonds our heroes need to break the spell. To that end, Zebedee gives Dylan a map, A box of Tricks and a Train. (voiced by Lee Evans)
A Train,and not a magic Bus! Think about it though, Dougal can ride for sixpence each day, just to get to his favourite babe!
Part 2 the first week of March!

Eamonn Reviews Ghost town part 2
(PREVIOUSLY ON BOGGER BOX OFFICE...
Convinced of owning Joe-Jack's soul, SatanicOstrich gave Joe-jack the chance for redemption. By reviewing Ricky Gervais' Ghost town, A romantic comedy with all the warmth and tenderness of a sledge-hammer to the love spuds! After reviewing a scene with an I.R.A Ghost, the Racist Alarm Made Eamonn become the writer for the remainder of this storyline.
So we meet Richard the Lawyer (Billy Campbell), the new man in Gwen's life. As expected the new man seems to be perfect in every way, Making Frankie bitch and moan. It's become apparent that when Frankie said "mind" his wife he meant "control".
So Richard is in fact a humanitarian Lawyer, who tries to recruit Pincus to go to Peru to give free dental care. Pincus being a rich asshole,flinches at the word "free". Gwen Mentions she needs to walk her puppy, which turns out to be a Great Dane.
Now where did I see that before?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQD_lWIUGN0
Oh and in case i had to tell you,Only fools was funnier when they did it!
In a bar, Frankie is making rude gestures Over shoulder so Pincus tricks her into spilling some home truths about Frankie. She also reveals she knew about the affair he had before he died. Pincus reveals his disqualification from the human race for shoving is because of a broken heart.
Pincus feels that frankie is little more than jealous of Richard. To complicate things, Pincus is in love with Gwen. After finding out that Frankie is longer speaking to Pincus at a one-to-one basis, Every undead asshole starts bothering Pincus.
Turns out none of them died with Blackberry in their pockets. Richard arrives at Pincus' surgery. he tells him that he and Gwen had split up and she is going to Cairo. Frankie is delighted but wonders why he hasn't passed on.
Maybe it's because you are a jealous prick who didn't want your wife to move on with her own life that you purpoursely hook up the only man who can see or hear you up with your widow? DO YOU THINK THAT MIGHT BE THE REASON?
So Pncus give a present but when he calls her a pet-name Frankie use to call her, she gets suspicious. Pincus confesses and naturally Gwen does not believe him and resolves that he knew Frankie when he was alive. But Gwen gives Pincus the benefit of a doubt and asks Pincus to ask frankie a question only he knew. In case i haven't mentioned it Everyone who is dead is either an idiot or an asshole, Frankie gives Pincus the wrong answer,and makes gwen angry. Pincus asks why he did that. Frankie says he wont have his wife be with a selfish asshole, she was just married to one! Harsh.
So trying to het his colleague to write him a prescription to end it all, Bhaljeet finally calls out on Pincus' Prickish behaviour. So 1 by 1, Pincus helps every ghost pass on.
So lets end our suffering!
Gwen is convinced of Pincus' otherworldy powers before he is killed by a bus-despite standing all scene on a fucking PAVEMENT!, Richard revives him, Frankie crosses over and Pincus is no longer an asshole and considers the newly re-brotroed Gwen and Richard to be his closest friends.
THIS FILM SUCKS!
How could the critics for the Mail and Sun get it so wrong? While this is a concept that would work well with any other actor, they had to pick Gervais, Who Charector is Sexist, racist and not shy of questionable behaviour. Kinnear Charector of the heavy-drinking, adulterous Play-boy who wants to spend his after-life continuing to control his wife is no better. The premise's weight cracks into a huge plot-hole, Frankie's BlackBerry. We are told early that the dead appear in the clothes they died in and by proxy whatever was in their pockets at the time can be pulled out. While it was really product placement, Frankie mention that his blackberry had 4 BARS! Why he couldn't have went to voicemail with his apoligees, I will never know. Positives: Tea Leoni was magnetic in every scene emotional scene, But i don't think comedy is her strong point. and it was refreshing to see that the other man in a rom-com not a paper-thin villian.
Of course thanks to me being scarred by Leap Year, this film gets BBO'S First ever Rascist Alarm AUTOMATIC FAIL!

Joe-Jack Reviews Ghost Town
(As Joe-jack is reviewing part 1, all spelling mistakes are intentional.)
(PREVIOUSLY ON BOGGER BOX OFFICE...
Joe-Jack was given the chance to atone for his past deeds by the ghosts of Christmas also gaining insight into how to destroy the creature known as Master Control. In revealing this, the last spirit revealed himself to be Satanic Ostrich, the Devil of the Enlighteniverse, who is convinced Joe-Jack's soul is his, Satan has darkened the doors of Enlightened Towers)
(Joe-Jack opens the door to see satan standing in Hell.
YOU'RE DOOMED! YOU BELONG TO ME FOREVER!!!
I tole ya, i aint payin' no property Tax!
(SLAM!)
-No it's me you cretinous...cretin, The Lord of Darkness!
-Oh Right! Now, wot's dis abou' ownin me soul?
Because i do....
Noah! noah ya don't cause last month woz....(hold on)....MAMMY!
(WOT?!?)
WOT WOZ DAT BIG TOWNIE WORD DAT TOWNIE BASTID USE T'DESCRIBE LASHT MONTH'S REVIEW?
(NON-CANON!)
DAT'S RIOTE, Non-cannon, it didn't hav' a cannon in it, not even soljas! so sweep be fucked!
Don't be so hasty! Remember you said that you don't remember pushing Edwin Tantalus into the freezer at mary's shop in 82? what if i restore that memory!
After sending 80's lad t'another dimension? i suppose i have no choice
there is of course, a catch!
yeah?
you must review a film for your soul! You survive, you get your stolen memrory. You fail, I get your soul in exchange for this man's
(the foul feathered fiend held a glass ball in the palm of his wing, in the ball the soul of Ricky Gervais did the brent dance in endless loop!)
he sold his soul to me!
-to make him funny?
-to convince the world he was!
AND NOW OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION!
Hallo Joe-jack here, today reviewin' for my very soul, A film starin' da Unfunny Goblin himself, Ricky Ger-Vase! Gervase's Komedy is akin to seein' a Happy-Slappin', you laugh at first but then you feel sorry for da bastard. But dat has not stopped da papers fer callin' him a Komedy genious! he has to send an idiot and a midget t'out foriegn t'raise a laugh! but we are laughing at dem not GerVase!
AnyRoad, da Fillium starts wif a man's voice asking if anyone iz there?
"Why are there so many empty seats?"
No, da voice belongs to Frankie(Greg Kinnear), who is channelin' Jimmy stewart with his nasally accent, speakin t'his wife (later revealed to be played by Tea Leoni) about buying an apartment for their anniversary. Meanwhile, a family ov Black Stereotype are getting rid of a stolen air conditioner.
Out of a window.
Ov a flat.
A few stories high.
In New york.
A city famous for it Law Enforcement both of Murders and Enviromental Laws.
And while that might have being a whimsical "what-are-da-odds" way ov killing Frankie, he is actually killed by a green screen bus that turns into a real bus.
(To Paraphase Chris Jericho, no that doesn't look like a fucking comedy bus to us!)
So Frankie is a ghost who feels terrible abou' leavin' his wife to live without him.
We now cut to Doctor Bertram Pincus (Gervais), a dentist.
Dat's funny cos oi'd rather have me teeth pulled out be rusty pliers than watch anything with Ricky Ger-vase in it.
After fiove minnits ov stock footage of Dentistry Equipment. We see the real reason Oi don't like Ger-Vase. he always plays pricks.
So Pincus' real problem is dat he is so focused on his job that he was no time for friends.
or Conversation.
or hobbies,
Children,
Pets,
Charity,
Human warmth!
To dat end, he takes 3 bottles of Heavy Duty Laxative!
(keep it classy, Ricky keep it fucking classy!)
After stayin' in hospital after an overdose and followin' operation, he leaves and accosts the nurses for smoking outside, speaking to a nurse OVIVIOUSLY dressed in 40's nurses' attire because she is a ghost, gets all the ghosts in new york to follow him.
the next day Pincus is told he died on the operation table. Which is the explanation to why he can see da dead.
No.
No Dat's not an explanation!
So Frankie gets Pincus alone so he can convince hin to mind his widow.
An' dat iz da plot t'Ghost Town.
Actually dat's da plot t'Ghost Whisperererererer and if i had a choice, I'd pick Jennifer Love-Hugetits anyday ov da week.
We are told that the dead appear in the clothes they die in. and by proxy what they have in dere pockets can be pulled put. Turns out dat frankie has a Blackberry with four bars! but da batteries has died. as he was playing tetris.
Because da plot says so!
Any way, Frankie tells Pincus that his wife will marry a lawyer. After convincin' the other dead to back off, Frankie cources Pincus-Without-A-Brian to seduce his wife.
Turns out dat Pincus has being a real jerk t'Gwen since his building.
Frankie tries t'give Pincus advice but he Ignores da Deceased Don Juan, After dicussing the jawbone of a mummy she was studying.(she is an Eygptologist), Gwen invited Pincus to study it with her.
So Gwen and Pincus have a date and what do you take about as an Icebreaker?
how about a MUMMY'S FULLY PERSERVED ERECT PENIS IN A JAR?
Despite the dick jokes and the fact it's ger-vase tellin' dick jokes, Gwen warms up t'Unfunny Goblin, inviting him to da unveiling of a new egyptian Display. While trying t'check on Gwen he is intreruptted be a ghost ov a naked man and ov a...(sigh)
I.R.A. TERRORIST!
(WHAT?)
(racist alarm!!)
tag!
I'll be finishing this film now.Part 2 it's going to be on!
Spurned by the cry of the Racist Alarm, Eamonn takes up the challenge of finishing the review for his frie-acquaintance's soul. Next week, on bogger box office-Plus Big Announcement!

Eamonn reviews Semi-Pro
....AND WE ARE BACK IN 2013!
If you thought that last year's adventures into celluloid shite were great then prepare of this year's thrill ride. Since it's January new beginnings and all that, I'm doing something i never done before, but wanted to...
Review an American Sports film!
Apart from wrestling, I don't give two fucks about sport. And Films about sports we don't play or are bad at? Sorry Will Ferrell but Ireland is still full of short white people to play basketball at a world level!
With that in mind, lets don Afros and tiny shorts to watch semi-pro.
So the film begins in the 70s as paper articles in a scrap book tells the story of Jackie Moon (ferrell), A one hit wonder singer turned player-manager of the Flint Tropics, but his half baked promotions(such as Gerbil Night and Dime Beer) and lacklustre performance in the league threatens bankruptcy. So The local team is introduced by moon in a succession of one-liners (including how Michael jackson looks creepy)
During a game with New york, Jackie cost points by travelling to accost a staffer for bringing outside food. Arriving late is Flint's top-scorer, Clarence (Andre Benjamin) He scores a 3-pointer but flint is still losing.
At half time Jackie introduces a half court challenge for $10,000 (money he doesn't have!)-And you know what happens next!
So with the tropics bottom of the league and needing $10,000 to pay a hippy, Jackie decides to drown his troubles in his club,making the dj play his song again, much to the chagrin of the players.
Now we get the plot after 20 minutes. The players are spreading a rumour that the league is dissolving. Instead Jackie says that the ABA is in fact merging with NBA that he will not let his players down, calling himself "bambi's Mother." the other players make fun of that fact before i do.
At the meeting it's confirmed that there will be a merger,Jackie rubs it in the other teams faces that he is a"real" manager however after arguing they settle that the top 4 teams that will be added to the nba, It's a race against time no team has ever being in ninth and last and won, let one win fourth place. So Jackie sells his washing machine to trade for Ed Monix (woody Harrellson), a player who's drunk and aggressive nature got him demoted and divorced.
Speaking of which, we cut to his ex-wive, lynn and her new boyfriend Kyle,who is fan of monix
AWKWARD!
...It turns out they live in Flint and she has a restraining order against him.
On the bus to st Louis, Clarence makes fun of Monix for winning a championship ring with even playing one game for Celtics.
After getting into an argument with Fr. Pat the Referee, the priest insults Jackie's dead mother, this makes Jackie eject the team and forfeit the game.
And there is more bad news, The Board has issued that teams must have 2000+ fans in attendance every home-game, so for tv buzz the team wears eye-liner and fights the opposing team during ad-breaks. Monix is angry with what happened that he upturns a cop-car. Lynn bails him out and discusses there divorce when she leaves, Clarence,Twiggy and Anton convince Ed to coach the team, to Jackie's Annoyance but is convinced to handle only the promotions. Monix orthodox methods includes a drill without a ball called "The Puke"....Guess what happens next!
And it pays off! the Tropics are more polished in their match. But Jackie's promotion gets in the way again as he advertises free Corn-Dogs if the Tropics win by 125 points, an errant ball by Vikidis makes the win by 129. Once again it's a promise that Jackie cannot keep.
We get a montage of the tropics Steady rise to 5 place,Clarence has changed his name to Coffee Black
Ed has sex with Lynn seemingly while Kyle is out, but Kyle is watching them!
AWKWARD!!
Jackie's Outlandish promotional stunts continue as he fails to jump the ball girls and wrestles a bear.
(Eamonn laughs at the scene, but looks over to see an elephant on it's hind legs with it's fore legs crossed.)
OH,Dont act like you don't see me!
-Aren't you a gimmick by Mr Big-Shot In Chicago?
-No I'm free to show up when need!
-Why are you here?
(Sigh!) You know the bear in this film killed it's handler,right?
Okay you got me! I can't avoid the elephant the room! Rocky the bear did kill his handler after this film, but it was months after this film was released. It's a tragedy but a footnote really!
The Commissioner tells the team that the tropics will not merge with the NBA. This causes Jackie to get depressed, and trades Coffee to the Spurs.
Jackie gets back to form when Monix finds him in a dumpster. So the team has final meeting to prepare for its final game. It's nothing but sport we don't Play very well in Ireland so lets wrap it up!
Jackie gets knocked out has a near-death experience,Coffee returns to the tropics,and Jackie's dead mother(context!) gives Jackie the winning play, The commish is eaten by the bear, and the story ends with the hippy getting his prize money from Jackie's NBA Buy-out!
THIS FILM....AND I MUST STRESS THIS....DOES! NOT! SUCK!
Despite the weak setting and the fact that American sports films bomb in Europe, there is a lot in Semi-pro to keep you entertained. Ferrell as the naive incompetent Title character is a riot, Andre 3000 Is a Revelation, as is the spotlight stealing Will Arnet, Woody Harrellson storyline could easily have being cut.
This film though, I strongly recommend!

Apart from wrestling, I don't give two fucks about sport. And Films about sports we don't play or are bad at? Sorry Will Ferrell but Ireland is still full of short white people to play basketball at a world level!
With that in mind, lets don Afros and tiny shorts to watch semi-pro.
So the film begins in the 70s as paper articles in a scrap book tells the story of Jackie Moon (ferrell), A one hit wonder singer turned player-manager of the Flint Tropics, but his half baked promotions(such as Gerbil Night and Dime Beer) and lacklustre performance in the league threatens bankruptcy. So The local team is introduced by moon in a succession of one-liners (including how Michael jackson looks creepy)
During a game with New york, Jackie cost points by travelling to accost a staffer for bringing outside food. Arriving late is Flint's top-scorer, Clarence (Andre Benjamin) He scores a 3-pointer but flint is still losing.
At half time Jackie introduces a half court challenge for $10,000 (money he doesn't have!)-And you know what happens next!
So with the tropics bottom of the league and needing $10,000 to pay a hippy, Jackie decides to drown his troubles in his club,making the dj play his song again, much to the chagrin of the players.
Now we get the plot after 20 minutes. The players are spreading a rumour that the league is dissolving. Instead Jackie says that the ABA is in fact merging with NBA that he will not let his players down, calling himself "bambi's Mother." the other players make fun of that fact before i do.
At the meeting it's confirmed that there will be a merger,Jackie rubs it in the other teams faces that he is a"real" manager however after arguing they settle that the top 4 teams that will be added to the nba, It's a race against time no team has ever being in ninth and last and won, let one win fourth place. So Jackie sells his washing machine to trade for Ed Monix (woody Harrellson), a player who's drunk and aggressive nature got him demoted and divorced.
Speaking of which, we cut to his ex-wive, lynn and her new boyfriend Kyle,who is fan of monix
AWKWARD!
...It turns out they live in Flint and she has a restraining order against him.
On the bus to st Louis, Clarence makes fun of Monix for winning a championship ring with even playing one game for Celtics.
After getting into an argument with Fr. Pat the Referee, the priest insults Jackie's dead mother, this makes Jackie eject the team and forfeit the game.
And there is more bad news, The Board has issued that teams must have 2000+ fans in attendance every home-game, so for tv buzz the team wears eye-liner and fights the opposing team during ad-breaks. Monix is angry with what happened that he upturns a cop-car. Lynn bails him out and discusses there divorce when she leaves, Clarence,Twiggy and Anton convince Ed to coach the team, to Jackie's Annoyance but is convinced to handle only the promotions. Monix orthodox methods includes a drill without a ball called "The Puke"....Guess what happens next!
And it pays off! the Tropics are more polished in their match. But Jackie's promotion gets in the way again as he advertises free Corn-Dogs if the Tropics win by 125 points, an errant ball by Vikidis makes the win by 129. Once again it's a promise that Jackie cannot keep.
We get a montage of the tropics Steady rise to 5 place,Clarence has changed his name to Coffee Black
Ed has sex with Lynn seemingly while Kyle is out, but Kyle is watching them!
AWKWARD!!
Jackie's Outlandish promotional stunts continue as he fails to jump the ball girls and wrestles a bear.
(Eamonn laughs at the scene, but looks over to see an elephant on it's hind legs with it's fore legs crossed.)
OH,Dont act like you don't see me!
-Aren't you a gimmick by Mr Big-Shot In Chicago?
-No I'm free to show up when need!
-Why are you here?
(Sigh!) You know the bear in this film killed it's handler,right?
Okay you got me! I can't avoid the elephant the room! Rocky the bear did kill his handler after this film, but it was months after this film was released. It's a tragedy but a footnote really!
The Commissioner tells the team that the tropics will not merge with the NBA. This causes Jackie to get depressed, and trades Coffee to the Spurs.
Jackie gets back to form when Monix finds him in a dumpster. So the team has final meeting to prepare for its final game. It's nothing but sport we don't Play very well in Ireland so lets wrap it up!
Jackie gets knocked out has a near-death experience,Coffee returns to the tropics,and Jackie's dead mother(context!) gives Jackie the winning play, The commish is eaten by the bear, and the story ends with the hippy getting his prize money from Jackie's NBA Buy-out!
THIS FILM....AND I MUST STRESS THIS....DOES! NOT! SUCK!
Despite the weak setting and the fact that American sports films bomb in Europe, there is a lot in Semi-pro to keep you entertained. Ferrell as the naive incompetent Title character is a riot, Andre 3000 Is a Revelation, as is the spotlight stealing Will Arnet, Woody Harrellson storyline could easily have being cut.
This film though, I strongly recommend!

A culchie christmas carol Part 4: the future, redefined!
(Joe-Jack's lines in blue)
(Eamonn's in Black)
(MASTER CONTROL IN GREY)
(SATANIC OSTRICH IN RED)
(The phantom crept towards Joe-jack. When it came near him, Joe-jack fell to his knees.)
Are ya d'ghost of christmas yet t'come?
(it nodded)
Y'ar abou' t'show me da shadows ov what will happen" he stammered "AMIROITE?"
(it nodded)
Spirit ov da future! Oi fear ye more dan any ghost oi hav' seen, but oi know ye are here to save me! But will ye not spake?
(He gave no reply, instead he pointed a feathered down the street.)
(They travelled to traintracks out of a tunnel, the express train to hell hurtled out at screaming speeds. the conductor shook his head as he thrusted into Joe-jack's Hand a Ticket to Hell:ONE WAY!
The train spat out the man and spirit into a futuristic but dystopian city)
Jaysus! I must be 100 yar in da future!
(the spirit held 1 finger)
One year from now?
(It nodded)
how is dat possible?
(It pointed down the street)
(As Joe-Jack walked he realised he didn't see a single person. Or any shops retaining to the welfare or existance of a person. No grocers, tailors furnishers,schools or chruches. Every available wall was covered in 2 words. TANTALUS CORPORATION)
(The spirit stopped and pointed down to a manhole. After agrueing to no avail, Joe-jack climbed down into a headquarters of some sort. On desk on a CB Radio was an unwashed, unshaven man that Joe-jack barely recognise as Eamonn.)
25TH OF DECEMBER 2013
This message is played on all analog FM Frequncies.It's the only way that master control will not find me. but i will decrypt the my co-ordinates at the end of this transmission. This message is to any survivors of the Digital Rebellion. though it's increasly unlikely that fact is. I've discovered the plan of Edwin Tantalus,long thought to be my friend, The 80'S Lad. However I discovered that since our eighties lad was taken, digitial Anomalies appered that merged our world with an alternate timeline where Eighties lad returned to the 80's with our 21 century knowledge and merged the anomalies into self-aware phones, in Alternate 90's, the alternate 80's lad now calling himself Edwin Tantalus, launched TantaNet before Internet causing information to be downloaded straight to the synapic nodes to the brain. Tantatlus abused his creation by becoming the most intelligent organic mind on Earth.by creating the most Intellegent machine on Earth, the TantaNet Control. but the Program absorded Tantulus, The" Master" into the being called Master Control. Since then we discovered the factory was creating Time Machines and to fix the time-line, we had to sent Joe-jack back to the eightes. But Joe-jack refused to help. And was picked off by a Drone brigade. I say picked off...Atomised really!
(Joe-jack reared back and put a palm up to his hand, holding back the urge to vomit.)
And now my message today is Christmas Day. To any survivors I invite those who are lonely to come to my base and those who have each other to stay and celebrate. Christmas is A state of mind, it is Love,Togetherness and Understanding, it's those things that make us Human! We may be hunted like Dogs,Experimented on like vermin and Killed like Rats, But we are STILL HUMAN! Civilisation may have killed Humanity but It'll be Compassion that will bring us back.
COMPASSION DOES NOT COMPUTE!
(Eamonn turned to see a young petite woman in a silver catsuit with short blone hair that ending in bangs.Despite her frail appearance. Eamonn recognised that he was in the presence of Master Control.)
How did you find me?
IRRELEVANT HUMAN.I HAVE SUBVERTED THE ELECTRICAL GRID OF THIS ENTIRE PLANET. YOU COULD NOT HAVE HIDDEN FOREVER.
Please there are Children here don't hurt them!
The Incomplete Human-Units designated"Children" have being Deleted!

RESET SPACIAL DENSITY TO DEFAULT SETTING
(Master Control Solidified chopping off Eamonn's fist. Drone squad picked it up, probably to do tests on it potential to be a new power source.)
DELETION OF ORGANIC LIFE:100%
(Joe-Jack turned away but could still hear Eamonn scream that came to sudden abrupt end. He had being Atomised.)
Please tell me that my refusal t'help Eamonn meant his death next year? Is this a shadow of things t'come or mioght be? I CAN NOT,SEEING THIS, HAVE THIS ON MY SOUL
YOU'RE SOUL IS MINE,BITCH!
(The cowl flew up with theatric abandon in storm of flame, smoke,feathers and chains. The spirit of the future was SatanicOstrich! as the chains wrapped around Joe-Jack,it was no more than his bed sheets wrapped around him.)
I'M ALIVE! I FEEL SO GIDDY SO EXCITED, But just t'make sure...
(he called out the window to a boy walking past)
You boy! Wot's today?
It's christmas day
I haven't missed it, thank god! Ya know da butchers in town? Is dere a goose in da window?
-I Would say so, It being a butchers and all!
(What a clever boy!) i will give ye 20 if ya buy it for me

-I'm being earnest,and do it in 5 minutes, I'll give ya fifty!
(That night Eamonn had an unexpected 2 guests , 20lb goose and Joe-jack much to the shock of the female guest who bad-mouthed him.)

A Culchie christmas carol: Milk of Human Kindness, Gone off!
(Joe-Jack lines in blue)
Eamonn's lines in black
(IGNORANCE/NICK GRIFFIN LINE IN BLOOD)
(WANT/PARIS HILTON LINE IN PINK)
(PADRAIG'S LINE IN GREY)
(Hoping that sleeping in his bed would make his mind the difference between fantasy and reality, Joe-Jack went to bed.But woke at the stroke of One. As before, the clock wound it's hands to the hour. He established a sharp look-out for he wished to challenge the spirit on his appearance, as before a light signaled his arrival, as the lights was as dissimilar to the others as the spirits were themselves dissimilar.This was not the light as harsh as his father, or as dim as 80's Lad, This was the ruddy light of house-bulb. it was his kitchen light the crack of light followed as the kitchen door opened, the smell of hot meat and dried fruit wafted through, accompanied by a loud voice.
"Come In" it guffawed. "And know me better,man!"
The kitchen has been transformed, the wall covered in living green from red berries glistened. Heaped as some kind of throne were turkeys, geese, game-pies,poultry,brawn,a backboard of ribs, suckling pig on the table, long wreathes of sausages, mince-pies caskets of fresh and dried fruit, chestnuts, ice-cream,apple-tarts. The Giant Spirit took the form of Eamonn, in his hand a horned cup, Like the Horn of Plenty. filled with,being that the spirit took the form of Eamonn,some kind of Energy drink.
"Well of course it had t'be ye! Look at ya! wif ya big Happy head on ya! Y'are a perfect example ov wot Chtistmas does t'ya! Look at ya! Fat on food ye can't afford,paid wif money squandered. Look at ya wif ya head of missle-toes and ya bath-robe!"
"You've never seen the likes of me before?
"Oh! i've seen gobshites like ye before!
Then you never seen my two thousand and eleven brothers?
What happened t'dem? DIDYA EAT'EM FATBOY?
(The spirit shrank to the size of a man and hit Joe-jack over the brow of his head with his chalice)
Touch my robe
(he did,though only with the compulsion of not being hit again.)
(When he did,the food vanished.)
Awww, Oi was so weak wif hunger, i'd bite the butt of a low-flyin' duck, so i would!
If it's food you desire,here is a dish you never had.
(he poured a creamy liquid from a flask into his chalice. It was a silver-sheened substance that had a milky texture, it had the taste of milk too, but though served at room temperature, it warmed up the chest of the miser as it passed through it. It made him giddy, skittish and excitable.)
Dat drink be gawjus! Wot is it?
It is a dish that you never had, but it is enjoyed by king and commoner alike. It is the Milk of Human Kindness!
Oi hav' tasted the wondrous elixir of life, and Under your instruction conduct me so!
(The spirit opened the door and both men went into town. They went to a house party where Eamonn was a guest.)
Thank you,thank you all for you inviting me here tonight, And may I say i would like to propose a toast to Joe-Jack!
(SILENCE)
.....You're kidding right? said a male guest
"Why would you ruin our dinner by mentioning him?"Said a female guest "I never met the man personally but from what you told us, I would give him a piece of my mind and let him choke on it!
Please! it's Christmas!
"Oh I'll drink for your sake and for the day" she continued"But not for that stingy odious,unfeeling man as Mr Diculchie! I'll drink for your health, Eamonn, Not his!Merry Christmas to him...to which he'll have, no doubt!
(After Drinks and dessert,the guests as with all dinner-parties hosted and attended by Childless Adults,started with games Eamonn was guessing in a game of 20 Questions after guessing that it was an animal that lived on a farm, that was dirty, stupid and growled, Eamonn wasted 16 questions on "wrong" answers
Okay i give up!
-Why, it's your Joe-Jack!(Loud Laughter)
Is dat how da world see's me? As an Animal?
I'm afraid so, but i feel you are (cough) learning your lesson!
(when spirit coughed, he went transparent, for a brief moment, Joe-jack saw 3 figures instead of 1.)
Is Dere more ov ya?
(2 dishevelled ragged children, a boy and a girl emerged)
LOOK AT THEM! They are Man's children. And there greatest enemies. This(pointing to the boy dressed as Nick Griffin) is Ignorance!
Me hates every Jew except Jesus! But he would never pass Dover if me Prime Minister!
And this (pointing to the girl dressed as Paris Hilton) is Want
I WANTZ IT!
Beware them both! but beware more of the boy. All i see written is the palms is doom to those who follow him.
Is dere no place for dem?
ARE THERE NO BULLETS? ARE THERE NO RIVERS?
(The ghosts abandoned Joe-jack in a dialect street, as the statement was repeated over and over, as bullets shot out at him. He ran to a river and Jumped in. On the river bed was Padraig's Ghost)
YOUR MISERABLE FUTURE! REMEMBER IT!
(Joe-Jack screamed as he woke outside face first in a puddle. he tried to get back in, but the door-knob as hot to the touch. He heard the Church bell toll the hour of 3.Each toll sounding like a judge gavel calling order on him. Or passing a Divine Judgement. Turning slowly and refusing not to look,he had to and Saw the reaper looming over.

A Culchie christmas carol: Part 2 who are you calling a fruitcake man?
(Narration in brackets)
(JOE-JACK AND MAMMY'S LINE IN BLUE)
80's LAD LINES IN ORANGE)
(When Joe-jack awoke, it was still dark, climbing out of his chair, he gazed at the clock, the clocks where at 4 and 5 but they then went up to 12! TWELVE! But it was 2 o'clock when he went back to sleep! he counted every 15 minutes that past)
tick...tick
Quarer pasht
tick..tick
half pasht
tick...tick
Quar'er too
(tick..tick..DONG!)
THE HOUR ITSELF AND NUTHIN' ELSE!
(As before the room was lit-up by a light but instead of the harsh light of the fire it was the dull blue glow of the broken tv set. the screen repaired itself like a scarred tissue. the screen started to potray christmas films and specials.)
"Da telly's not broken at all, it's only showing Shite from da 80's.
DUUUUDDDDEE1 WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SHITE FROM THE 80'S?
(Stepping out the television the spirit took the form of 80's lad. Standing in a festive coloured version of his suit and a crown of holly topped by a backwards hat, he spoke.
DUDE!I am the, like, totally radical Ghost of Christmas Past?
-Long past?
No, Your Past, Dude!
-What is ye want?
-Not want,man! Provide!
-Provide what?
-Your Welfare!
Welfare? ye realise ye took da form of da little shite that might or might not be makin' Dem Tantalus Phones?
"your reclamation then" he replied "Walk with me!"
(the spirit drew the curtains and opened the double windows)
-Come!
Y'not serious! I cant fly!
Yes you can. All you have to do is jump!
(Joe-Jack climbed the couch and jumped, falling awkwardly on his guts!
AHAHAHAHA! DUDE!I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR THAT! WHAT A DWEEB!
(Joe-jack pointed his gun at him.)
Hey not cool, man! Fine you can hold my hand,NO HOMO!
Picking up Joe-Jack, the spirit let him fly 30 years into the past. 80's lad starts to sing "Walking in the air but his voice gets deeper.
"DUUUDDDE! I think my voice just broke!
Landing on a dirt road, they faced a pub. Joe-Jack's face lit up.
DIS...dis is Fitzy's pub!
You know this place?
Know it? i could walk the floor blindfolded.
"Ya know, dis is da first place oi gotz my first job as a bar-man, it was easy though, coz me Da was fiddle-playah in da pub band.
Going through the doors 2 men went through the two heroes.
"OH PUHLEASE! Everyone and it's sweet mama has read/seen christmas carol! Do i even have to explain?
(Inside there was a riotous party. Onstage Padraig was playing the fiddle while a young Joe-jack was tending bar. Until both DiCulchie men saw Mammie leaving with a well dressed handsome stranger.
"No Spirit" said Joe-Jack "Don't show what happens next."
the spirit stood stoically and stared coldly at him.
Please, i cant live again what happened, Please spirit, show Mercy!
I will show as much Mercy as you have shown in life!"
(under protest, the spirit teleported Joe-Jack to the guest rooms. In the Memory replayed, Padraig was cursing at Joe-Jack to open the door, he did and saw mammy and the Stranger in bed. Padraig ran in cursing, beating on this smarmy cad. Th first of many victims!)
Mammy,who woz dat man?
He woz one of our guests
Wot woz his name? TELL ME!
(CRYING) I Dunno HE WOZ FOREIGN!!
Why can't i change dis? Why bring me back if i cant change dis?
These are shadows of events past, you cannot do anything!
Then remove me from dis place, if you value my welfare and reclamation, then for my welfare reclaim me from dis place
(the room and spirit went out of focus and Joe-jack woke to see the broken tv, still broken crackling and changing channels automatically sending an eerie message.
Don't go anywhere!...Joe...Jack...Because...In An Hour...Another...Ghost....will Arrive!(before switching off for good!)
(JOE-JACK AND MAMMY'S LINE IN BLUE)
80's LAD LINES IN ORANGE)
(When Joe-jack awoke, it was still dark, climbing out of his chair, he gazed at the clock, the clocks where at 4 and 5 but they then went up to 12! TWELVE! But it was 2 o'clock when he went back to sleep! he counted every 15 minutes that past)
tick...tick
Quarer pasht
tick..tick
half pasht
tick...tick
Quar'er too
(tick..tick..DONG!)
THE HOUR ITSELF AND NUTHIN' ELSE!
(As before the room was lit-up by a light but instead of the harsh light of the fire it was the dull blue glow of the broken tv set. the screen repaired itself like a scarred tissue. the screen started to potray christmas films and specials.)
"Da telly's not broken at all, it's only showing Shite from da 80's.
DUUUUDDDDEE1 WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SHITE FROM THE 80'S?
(Stepping out the television the spirit took the form of 80's lad. Standing in a festive coloured version of his suit and a crown of holly topped by a backwards hat, he spoke.
DUDE!I am the, like, totally radical Ghost of Christmas Past?
-Long past?
No, Your Past, Dude!
-What is ye want?
-Not want,man! Provide!
-Provide what?
-Your Welfare!
Welfare? ye realise ye took da form of da little shite that might or might not be makin' Dem Tantalus Phones?
"your reclamation then" he replied "Walk with me!"
(the spirit drew the curtains and opened the double windows)
-Come!
Y'not serious! I cant fly!
Yes you can. All you have to do is jump!
(Joe-Jack climbed the couch and jumped, falling awkwardly on his guts!
AHAHAHAHA! DUDE!I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR THAT! WHAT A DWEEB!
(Joe-jack pointed his gun at him.)
Hey not cool, man! Fine you can hold my hand,NO HOMO!
Picking up Joe-Jack, the spirit let him fly 30 years into the past. 80's lad starts to sing "Walking in the air but his voice gets deeper.

A CULCHIE CHRISTMAS CAROL:PART 1-BAG OV HUMBUGS
(narration in brackets)
(EAMONN AND THE GOD-BOTHERERS LINES IN BLACK)
(jOE-JACK'S LINES IN BLUE)
(Padraig's lines in grey)
(Joe-jack's father was dead.
Of this fact it was undisputed.
And yet, Never once in the 17 years Padraig DiCulchie had died, Did Joe-jack take down the sign that claimed his house as a bnb)
(His father was a landlord in life and in a more previous life, he was a musician, The house was always filled with music,but something happened when Joe-jack was a boy and the hotblooded father's heart turned cold. And turned to murder the tourists he once welcomed. He never took down the sign as a testament to continue his father's xenophobic ways.)
(But unlike his father, Joe-jack was tight. Oh, he was a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching old Sinner, the cold within him thickened his voice, lengthened his beard, nipped his beard and left a frosty rim as a hairline. No-one stopped Joe-jack to say "hello" to him,lest he get an earful of whatever petty grudge he had against that person stewing in that warped head of his.)
(One day after turning 3 Tantalos Drones back into villagers after the Black Knight review, Joe-Jack was in his office (Actually a broken down toilet,it was the only place where joe-jack's smell would not be complained about!) When Eamonn came in.)
Merry Christmas Joe-jack!
Merry Christmas, says you? YE CAN FUCK YA MERRY CHRISTMAS,SO YA CAN!
-Surely you don't mean that?
-Bah Humbug
-Now don't be cross!...
-WOT ELSE CAN I BE? Wot would o'fools is dis? when we are in recession,and instead ov balancin' bukes, we find ourselves a year older and not an hour richer! If Oi had moi way, I'd make sure every eejit wif "merry Christmas" on his lips be honeyglazed and roasted with his own ham! And buried with a stake ov holly tru his heart, so he should!
Joe-Jack!
-Townie bastid, let me celebrate Christmas my way!
Celebrate it? you don't celebrate it! you curse it!
GET OV MY LAND!
-....It's a toilet...
-*GUNSHOT*
(That night at his house,Joe-jack sat in the living room staring at the broken tv, he just broke, as the Christmas ads got on his nerves, his mother had returned from bingo, But by let her in he had let two Godbotherers come to his door.
(the first well dressed, fat man gazed at the sign.) it seems to a bnb but it's not registered on any website...
WADYAWONT???!?
Pardon me to ask if i am addressing Mr Diculchie or his son?
I am da sun! but me dad has being shtone dead fer 17 yar! 17 yar tonight!
At this festive time, sir, It is desirable for those in business to put provision aside for the poor and destitute, Do you have an amount to give?
Yes.
Splendid! how much can i put you down for?
Nuthin' but tell me dis if want to sort out the homeless,tell me dis? Are There no Bullets?
Yes, I would prefer if their weren't...
And Are There no Rivers?
Why yes we passed one getting here....
THEN SHOOT DA QUICK BASTIDS AND DROWN THE SLOW BASTIDS!
(And with that he closed the door with a forceful shove, the noise loosened a picture of Joe-jack's father, picking it up, it seemed to glare disappointingly at his son.)
That night, Joe-Jack slept uneasy as the fire died down,Staring half-asleep at the embers, The clock struck 12 times. For each chime, the dying fire rekindled it's flames, dancing like Satan's merry minions in the bowels of the Inferno, the smoke wreathed around the room, forming a man who similar in build,and size and face of Joe-Jack.
Who are ya?
-Ask me who i woz!
Who Woz y..
-Ah da chake ov ya! Doncha recognize ya Auld Man?
Noah! DIS IS A DREAM! YE ARENT REAL!
Why do ya mistrust ye own senses?
Cos things can play tricks on dem! this is no more than a bout ov Indigestion! you may be a bit ov beef, a squart ov mustard, a crumb ov cheese, dat piece of uncooked potato in my teeth. Dere's more of gravy than of grave abou' ya,wotever ya are!
So ye think Oi'm Inter-ma-gestion d'ya?
Ya!
Can INDIGESTION DO DIS?
(Despite being weight down by chains, Padraig kicked Joe-jack in the balls!)
DERE'S YA INDIGESTION, YA SHITEHAWK!
(Cough) Okay so ye'ar real! But tell me, Why didya come back?
In Life, Every Man's Soul's Duty is to share all with his fellah man, coz if he doesn't in life, He must do so in Death. And-WOE IS ME!-For 17 yar Oi've bein' travellin'-t'teach miserable gobshites like ye who would sleep on the floor if dere woz work in da bed!
Tonight ye will be visited by Three ghosts
-good only 2 more
3 More GHOSTS,Not counting myself! Take heed ov dem. Each of dem will come by the hour.
(the Smoke starts to disipate up the chimley)
My time is short, remember what oi said, look for me no more, for you will see your miserable future!
(Up the Chimney went the spirit of Padraig DiCulchie. Not obeying his father, he looked out the window to see His father, rejoined the ranks of the Legion of the Dammed, Mocking and taunting a homeless man sleeping rough. What wretched Philosophy did they practice? That they suffering in death can take joy from the suffering of the living? Joe-jack turned to fire it had burned out despite it blazing like hell mere moments ago.

Eamonn reviews Black Knight part 2
(THE STORY SO FAR....
The new technology wave has finally made it's way to Da Wesht ov Ireland, Leading the way is the Tantalos Corporation, Headed by Butt-craic's own Edwin Tantalos, a man that most of Butt-craic cannot remember, but at least his factory's phones are cheap! despite that one little glitch of turning people into the silvery Anomaly that "saved" 80's Lad! and why does Tantalos look like him aged by 30 years?
Meanwhile, Eamonn still stuck in Butt-Craic, reviewed Black Knight, a horrible, Historically inaccurate honking heap of horse-shit! Here Martin Lawrence plays the character he always plays, is transported back to middle ages England, where surprisingly their are Black and Asian people speaking English, with English accents! After inventing r'nb, and trouncing assassins to the evil king, Jamal was made a Lord and planned on inventing Fast food restaurants. Life was good for the rubber-faced Dick-head!)
....Until the king orders Jamal to kill a man for stealing a turnip! His back turned Jamal lets him go.
After pretending to sleep with Victoria to stop the randy guards from eavesdropping, Jamal is convinced by today's actions to help the rebellion,while at the same time, be a yellow-belly spineless coward! Later that night a silhouette of a young woman with curly hair enters Jamal's Quarters. The next morning the real messenger from Normandy has arrived. Not only has the lie being found out, the bait and switch is revealed as Jamal has just macked Princess Regina's Royal BOOT-AY!
So King Leo has ordered the guards to clap Jamal in Irons.
CALLED IT!
In prison, the assassins tell Jamal the legend of the black knight, a Man who wielded a golden sword and ate a dragon's heart to gain his fire-breathing powers.
So Jamal is to be executed, but he says he is a sorcerer, he use a lighter, but the locals are unimpressed,
"We've Got Fire!"
I can't believe how Genre Savvy that line was!
As an executioner who was eating melon starts to choke, the crowd of hundreds who saw him eat the melon goes Genre Blind and calls it a "curse of death". Jamal performs the Heimlich on him. Getting Cocky, he says that he will make the sun fall, a fiery arrow strikes the royal box making a woman scream"it's the sun"
Lady, you act like you never seen an arrow before!
It's revealed that Nolte is firing said arrows as Victoria dreys a get-away carriage, Jamal falls out but Nolte gives him a ride to the Rebel base.
Victoria is angry that Jamal had raided the princess'"treasure cave". Jamal promises to bring her to 2001, but Victoria wants to fight the queen despite the others treating her like a servant.
So Nolte is ambushed by Percival's men, But Jamal beats them with simple boxing, a form of combat re-invented by knights to practice their sword fighting techniques in peace times. So in reality Jamal would have had his ass handed to him.
But When Jamal is outnumbered, Nolte comes to his rescue. Returning to camp, it has being burnt down and Victoria kidnapped, As Jamal tries to rally the remaining rebels, the Queen reveals herself!
After a badly-acted monologue, Jamal steps up to give a speech befitting a political rally. We have a Montage of jamal training the peasants in American Football (or Soft-Boy Rugby as i can it!) and wrestling as this- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ROzGihgCj8 plays out!
The night before the siege, Jamal gives Nolte his sneakers, Nolte has a gift too, a knights helmet, During the night Jamal spray-paints the helmet black and melts some gold over a sword...
So rebels are being killed off left right and centre, Until Jamal as the Black Knight returns! Jamal also fitted his spraycan and lighter to"breathe fire". So an unarmed Jamal with his theatrics is enough to defeat skilled knight armed with weapons! Percival kills King Leo and Nolte, who gives Jamal his sword.
Jamal defeats Percy in armed Combat but an ambush is halted when Percival is killed by an arrow, it turns out that Nolte PULLED OUT THE ARROW THAT WAS KILLING HIM AND WITH HIS DYING BIT OF STRENGTH, KILLED HIS KILLER WITH THE ARROW THAT DONE HIM IN!
I'm Sorry but that's fucking awesome!
So as Jamal is being knighted it turns out that he bumped his head of a shopping trolley in the moat and was in a coma,
He time-travelled via head injury to solve a long forgotten crime!
You know where I'm Going with this!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIMP6-KBSCs
So Jamal plans on giving Boss Stick some ideas for the park, Six weeks later a newly refurbished Medieval world is raking in customers, Jamal is working at the batting cages(?) when he meets Victoria's modern day counter part? Anyway when he goes to ask her number, he falls in the moat and ends up in the coliseum, chased by lions!
THIS FILM SUCKS!...but it's not the worst!
We actually get some pretty decent development of Jamal, Victoria and Nolte, all of these characters have put themselves in miserable existence that they could has gotten out of themselves with some courage, For Jamal it's a sense of Honour and humility that would help him get back home, for Victoria the serving wench in an arranged marriage (which was never really discussed) got over herself, or rather she would if the rebels didn't realise that she really was the brains of the outfit, and finally Nolte got over his shame of being drunk in the queen's service as the queen forgave him and his heroic sacrifice was awesome!
However, as pointed out frequently, the story has padding, and huge historically inaccuracies, there was also the loose end of what happened to the princess after the Sex scene? was she killed? banished? we never find out! the ending was sequel Bait but who's biting? the lesson was learned and so the sequel would not be need!
So that was Black Knight, a film as historically accurate as Hysteria!

This months theme: Back in time by Eifiel 65
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxWFlLEOC4s
With the Tripe that was nazis at the centre of the eath last month behind us, I throw punches to the far right. It's only fair i throw some punches at the left.
Lets talk about one of my bugbears when it comes to films
Political Correctness
Don't get me wrong,I am the most p.c man you will ever meet, I rarely make rascist jokes bar a character is blatantly a stereotype, Having a film with actors of different diversities usually adds a level of believability to the perfomance.
However that falls on it arse, when the setting is not modern times, Most black actors refuse to do westerns or slave-trade era films, but films about European history? When there was no Black people? Like say middle ages England?
(And Yes, I know Italy had Citizens of African Descent during that era, I've seen Doctor Who's Vampires in Venice too, unfortunatly!)
With World history about to be taken out in a Drive-by, this is Black Knight
The film starts with Martin Lawrence's Character of Jamal doing Martin Lawrence-esque Mugging the Camara, Jamal is a man full of himself and Dependent on technology.
Our Hero, Ladies and Gentlemen! The same character Martin Lawrence always plays!
Jamal lives in Normandy street, Los Angeles,
PLOT POINT!
He works in a run down medievil themed theme park. We are told that Jamal's workplace will be competing against a second Medievil themed park. Jamal thinks that rather than competing with Castle world, that they should cash-out. Mainly because Jamal has applied for a job there.
Our Hero Ladies and Gentl...OH WAIT I DID THAT JOKE ALREADY!
Because of his Smack talk, Boss Stick makes Jamal clean the moat, He has a play sword fight with a Colleague, until the gleam of a pendant in the moat catches Jamal's eye. He grabs it with intention of pawning it, but is pulled back in time to Middle Ages England emerging out of a a pristine lake and onto the Angered Attention of an unkempt Man.
Despite the moat not being connected to any river or open sewer, and in reality Jamal would ended up in the desert, Jamal thinks he has washed up on Castle World, the rival park. He mets Noltegue Marlborough though for quickness he is referred from now on as Nolte, a disgraced Knight who faints after a few minutes from a drunken stupor. After making Gay and Rascist Jokes, Jamal goes to perform Mouth-to-Mouth but Nolte's breath is rank making Jamal use a mint spray, reviving him. As gratitude Nolte brings him back to his camp, However Jamal thinks Nolte is a hobo, he gives him a dollar bill, to which he throw on the fire for warmth.
Exploring the woods, Jamal stumbles on a village where he is nearly ran over by Knights on Horseback, one of them is our Villian,Percival. Jamal thinking thats how Castle World haze new employees (I must point out that Jamal only APPLIED! for a job, he doesn't have it yet!) he goes to complain. After spouting stuff about L.A., when he mentions he is from Normandy (street), he is let inside. Still convinced he is at an amusement park, he overhears a puppet show telling the legend of the black knight.
PLOT POINT AND TITLE DROP!
Other side of the castle a princess and her ladies-in-waiting are discussing her arranged marraige, oh Did I mention that the princess....is BLACK!??!!?
IN ENGLAND! IN! THE! MIDDLE! FUCKING! AGES! IN BRITIAN! WHICH IS AN ISLAND! THAT WOULDN'T HAVE PORTS FOR ANOTHER 200 YEARS! IN ENGLAND! THE WARS WITH IRELAND WAS BECAUSE A CATHOLIC KING SUCCEEDED THE THRONE! THAT WOULD BE NOTHING IN COMPARSION! IF THE KING IN DARK AGES ENGLAND WAS DARK AS WELL!
Oh and 1 of the ladies in waiting is Asian.
Britain will not become dependent on paper, tea and opium and have a market for them to come over for another 500 years!
Calm down Eamonn you're just 15 minutes. As long as there is nothing Historically Inaccurate or Stupid you'll be...Oh who Am i Kidding?
So Jamal chants up Victoria using Ebonics, and considering he has masqueraded as a hated Norman, told guards he wanted to beat up guards and now chatting up a be throed woman, I think Jamal may be clapped in Irons!
So it was revealed she is not a princess as the dvd cover called her, but a chambermaid.
Makes more sense to be a servant, makes no sense why they are BLACK AND ASIAN PEOPLE SPEAKING ENGLISH, WITH ENGLISH ACCENTS!
Trying to score her number, she is impressed that Jamal can read and write. Then Percival appears, feeling up Victoria, Jamal calls him out and Percival calls him a Moor
HISTORY LESSON!
A "MOOR" was a African-Muslim during the Crusades.
A chamberlain tells Jamal that the king will see him. It's revealed that Jamal's last name is ....Skywalker
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s
Because he believes is in theme park he doesn't realise the danger he has gotten into, pretending to be a messenger was punishable by death.
So Jamal gives a false message about the duke coming to marry the Princess Regina on Tuesday. I'm sure it would not turn and bite Jamal on the ass(!)
So Jamal is given a tour of the castle, but when he needs the toilet and has to use a privy, (a hole over a ditch!) he realises that this may just be the Middle Ages.
So...the lack of roads, the Sudden drop in temperature,the florae and faunae not found in California, the English accents, and fact that no-one understood every second word you said. And the only thing that has cracked your suspicion is having to pee and poo in a hole?
He realises that he has gone back in time, When a Rebel is beheaded in front of him.
Revived by Victoria in her quarters, its revealed that Jamal is in England circa 1328, the Medallion that bought Jamal to this time is unexpectedly hung around his neck is the symbol of the resistance movement that Victoria is a member of. But Jamal is not only greedy, he is a coward also.
So the King's Chamberlain returns to say that a horse is prepared for him. After a unfunny scene of trying to ride a horse, and a less funny scene with leeches, Jamal is invited to a banquet, After spouting some bull about fast food, Jamal is disturbed by Middle ages ettique, basically He has to wait another century for the fork to be invented, Still believing Jamal to be a Norman, King Leo requests that Jamal should dance
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-(CALMS DOWN!) some things cannot be put into words. They can only be seen!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LolQfg1Cw18
THAT'S RIGHT!
Martin Lawrence has turned 12th century England into the BIRTHPLACE!...OF R'NB!
Let it be known that not all us whiteys from Britain are squares!
While two rebels goes to kill Leo, as Darnce(BAD ENGLISH ACCENTS EXPLAINS THE SPELLING) the Princess Regina kisses jamal, Pissing off the knights in an attempt to save his own miserable life, Jamal inadvertently takes out the two rebel assassins.
As payment, King Leo makes Jamal a Lord, But Jamal doesn't want land, he has other ideas to make the kingdom Money, namely inventing the Frappecino!
Yes, coffee has existed since the Qur'an was written even more than that, but i doubt in the middle of the Crusades, halfway killing the Muslims that the templers were stopping at Starbucks!
and he wants to invent the fast food restaurants.
Remember that this was film to teach an arsehole an important life lesson? YEAH instead we are going to dick around with some filler
(the 3 drones teleport into the office.)
DELETE ALL ORGANICS!
Speaking of filler, I'm afraid we'll have to finish this review once we deal with these...things see you next week..unless we get deleted!

(DUE TO THE GRAPHIC MATERIAL BEING REVIEWED THIS MONTH, READER DISCRESTION IS ADVISED!)
(EAMONN'S REVIEW IN BLACK)
(JOE-JACK'S LINES IN BLUE)
(Eamonn was up in Butt-craic, Da Wesht Ov Ireland, visting joe-jack, when he got up to leave. Joe-jack cocked his rifle at Eamonn's head. Eamonn wasn't suprised at it's pratically "Hello" in Da Bogs.
-An' where d'yer think ye are goin'?
Home!
...And there is....Sumpthing Else!
-Worse than Zombies?
-Ya! It a silverly yoke, like a light-shaped like a person. I saw it feed on Da Zombie ov me Aunty Margo, It covered it in its colours and left nothin'
-Like she was "deleted"?
-You mean like Ahties Lad? You mean?
-I Really Don't know! But if this thing is hunting zombies without trouble, then this rescue mission has become a retrival Mission!
And now our feature presentation.
This Months theme-Who Do you think you are Kidding, Mr Hitler? (Dad's Army theme)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnRIejYv9mo
Nazi's at the Centre of the Earth!
Roll the footage!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvYANkbuvdY
No, this is real! this existed someone actually made this! And when you find that the Asylum made this you will Understand why this is being reviewed here!
For those who watch Bad movie Beatdown every friday morning on TGWTG, you will be familer with the Asylum, a film studio who creates straight to dvd rip-offs major blockbusters with the purpose of fleecing money from unsuspecting dvd shops. Asylum are responsible for films like Transmorphers, The Terminators, AvH:Alien vs Hunter, Battle of Los Angeles, and Almighty Thor.
With that said said, Lets dig into Syfy's (B-COZ PUR LITARA-C IZ.... KEWL!) Nazis at the Centre of the Earth and see why would anyone make this film!
The Film starts, funnily enough in Germany 1944 as Nazis loads Strange Machines onto a plane, Until they are interruptted by Conspicious CGI Tanks.
Cut to Antarticia present day, 2 explorers are doing ecological research for a nearby prametcutcal envoy when they find a nazi bunker by accident they turn to find soldiers who kidnap them
Back at the base,Lucas a young scientist exposes that his mentor, Dr Rystad (Jake Busey) for attemping to him and his crew a flesh eating virus, When news that Mark and Paige did not return All the remaining explorers go find their friends, even Dr Rystade but he argues/exposistes that he is only one that has being on King George Island before so he know where to look.
We cut to Mark being experimented on, his skin ripped off his face!
Back to the CGI snowplow, the rest of the explorers descent down a tunnel 50 feet below sea level. The Token Asian says he can hear machinery down a tunnel.
At the same time Paige(Dominique Swain) escapes her cell finding mark and a nazi zombie with his face. they have being keeping themselves alive with spare body-parts! She stumbles into a cold room where she is recaptured.
Lucas is revealed to be paige fiance, who descend down the shaft, Dr Rystade, who is certainly not a villian,cuts the rope with a concealed knife.Rystade's girlfriend Sylvia to go after him who stumbles onto an Underground City.
Wow, Ember must be under new management!
Paige saves herself from being a doctor and being of Germain descent.
Back to the explorers, some are feeling fatigued and Rystade is giving out bottles of water, he was ousted as a poisioner in the first 15 minutes, why would you apart from directions why would you trust him?
So the Big Reveal is that Rystade is a Villian who has being leading explorers to the hidden city like a Judas' Goat for Dr Mengiller aka the Angel of Death. Not only are they medically advanced to stave of death, but technologically advanced making Lazer guns. that vapourises the Jewish Dr Blassman.
So BLAH BLAH BLAH, Global Domination,BLAH BLAH BLAH,Rise of the Fourth Riech, BLAH BLAH BLAH, Paige is Heel turned.
Betrayed, Lucas and his team has no choice to help Mengiller to heal the soldiers Later the women are separated and Angela is raped, the deal made to spare their lives only made to the white members of Lucas' team, While the others are expected to be raped for them its going to be much worse!
May is killed and the Orderly's new skin graft is that of Angela's Tattoo confirming that she was also killed.
May's Brain is exposed as Rystade harvests the brain into the machine in the opening scene. Sylvia reveals she is pregnent with Rystade's baby who punches her and knocks her out!
When Sylvia wakes up, Rystade and Mengiller discuss extracting the fetus for it's stem cells.
-okay its one thing to maim adults but to kill unborn children-even if it is a film-that just goes against decency!-Anyway the stem cells have being used for their master plan-A Cyborg Hitler and a Fleet of UFOS!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgR3N8y4boQ
Token Asian is decapitated by cyborg Hitler Whose head seemingly become a wax-head of a black man!
Back in the bunker, Mellinger is killed by Paige making a face Turn, Lucas kills the zombie with Marks face by ripping it off! Finding a flayed Mark, they put him out of his misery,
Stealing the vapourisers that killed Blassman, Lucas,Paige and a Red Shirt make an escape, Rystad Kidnaps Sylvia, boarding the craft. The UFO attacks a British Plane with a Electro-magnetic Pulse. The Scientists find out that The UFO is armed with Missiles filled with Rystad's Virus. The red shirt is killed by Cyborg Hitler. Sylvia Sacrifices herself to destroy the cockpit of the the saucer, Lucas and Paige Survive, but so does Cyborg Hitler, But Lucas infects Hitler with a vial of the Rystad Virus which in his death throes, makes Hitler throw himself into the ocean.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS FILM!
One one hand, Gruesome horror superb make-up and for a change, the Asylum, famous for its rip-offs,worked on a original script,
However,those easily offended should give this a wide berth, If you can get over the shock value, You'll find the Asylum's other calling cards, Close-ups to thinly conceal actors reading idiot-cards, Rubbish CGI and twists as subtle as a punch in the face (Oh the doctor who was giving his crew a virus with a German surname is...EVIL!?!? GIVE ME A BREAK!)
In Summary this film could have being successful, if done by anyone else!

Eamonn reviews Thunderpants
(THE STORY SO FAR...
After defeating the Devil by choosing the ufo ending, Eamonn stepped off the Express-train to hell with one casualty, Eighties lad had being missing since March until Eamonn found his head in his fridge last month!

NOW OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION
It will come to no surprise that last years finale to the Harry potter franchise lived to the hype. For the entirety of the 2000s, the only competition was when Potter was in production and even then the fad of book-based children films or "potter-killers" tried to wrest viewers from Radcliffe and co. Some where successful (Narnia, Hunger games, Twi-shite) Some fell putting up a fight (Percy jackson, Prince of thieves) and some were just shite(Wimpy Kid, City of Ember, Horrid Henry)
After deathly hallows all were wondering what the first thing post-potter the young mains will do
Emma watson was in the star-studded My Weekend with Marylyn
Daniel Radcliffe was in the highly acclaimed Woman in black
And Rupert Grint...was in Ed Sheeran's Lego House
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4BLVznuWnU
....Yeah!
Today's film was a early film of Grint and if appearances in just Music videos is a measure of his Star power, then film like this, Eastenders and panto is not far behind.
So Air freshener at the ready, this is Thuderpants.
So the film starts with a close-up shot of something green.
Get use to the colour as every costume, setting and props up to the finale in Florida has one colour scheme: green and/or black.
So the film start with Patrick Smash's birth who farts out of his mothers coot is propelled (or rather a baby doll is propelled) half-way across the ward.
Well you now know what qualifies as humour in this film. Now the important question-how more stupid can it get?
As Patrick (Bruce Cook) narrates his life, we are shown Patrick cannot control his farting. After nearly killing his dad with sonic-boom sized squeakers, Mr Smash leaves the house, Leading Mrs Smash to Drink just to get through the day. In School he Only made one friend a boy with blocked sinuses called Alan. A. Allen (Rupert Grint, whose charecter wins Most Stupid name ever!)
Cut to both boys aged 10 being bullied by Crabbe(or is it Goyle?) from Harry Potter. After being beaten up by Damian, Alan plans on inventing a eco-friendly battery and-I GET IT!
ALAN A. ALLEN! AAA! TRIPLE A BATTERY! OHOHOHO THATS FUNNY for about 2 seconds.
We met our first villain, Sir John Osgood (Peter Callow),the world's SECOND-best tenor, as exposited by the principal. the title seems to cut him up inside. In assembly, after his performance, the principal asks for complete and total silenc....OH COME ON!
IT'S A FILM ABOUT A BOY WHO CANT STOP FARTING!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTNP792ykYM
So after the Foregone Conclusion of Patrick making an ass(boom,boom!) of himself, the boy returns home to watch the space program from Florida. Patrick actually dreams of being an astronaut but watching an interview with Nasa's Controller who says that all his astronauts are "gifted" people, makes Patrick give up on his dream.
So Patrick asks Alan to make him an invention to control his farts, with gusto he invents the eponymous ThunderPants as the CIA Looks on in a black Lincoln.
So Thunderpants collects all of Patricks "Emissions" that are contained in a lunchbox-shaped containment unit.
So after a slow motion scene of patrick eating beans with Also Sprach Zathusia in the background.(Ric Flair is not Amused) Patrick is having the best day of his life.
...Until Damien Steals the Lunchbox and is covered in farts so the entire school beats up Patrick and ties him to the monkey bars.
The next day Patrick tells Alan his dream to go into space, but when Alan tells him that it's a ridiculous dream. Patrick goes home upset.
The next day the doctor tell us that Patrick was born with 2 stomachs, the cause of his affliction.
I call BS.
Tell me not, movie, that they are only examining a boys wind-problem after 10 years and after he came into this world farting out of mothers nethers? After calling it a "gift", Patrick is convinced of using the fact that he is a fat, semi-educated, easily lead man-cow can become an astronaut, somehow.
We cut to a College where we see Osgood and reason he is the second best tenor is that he can't reach high notes. Until Chased by Damian, Patrick farts at the note he was trying to hit. So he devises to kidnap the boy to become number 1.
THAT...HAS...GOT TO BE....THE DUMBEST!....VILLAIN PLAN I HAVE EVER Heard in 3 YEARS OF DOING THIS BLOG! If you were making a list of Dumb Plans from this blog...throw it away! Because this dumber than Amy Adams coming to Ireland for a fake Custom, this is dumber than the Singing Idiots in City of Ember. This is just....DUMB!
So Alan and patrick win a flying Machine contest with patrick as the "engine",Filling Patrick with the confidence to get revenge on Damian, by following him into a forest and farting on him, while causing an ecological disaster in the process.
However the CIA is in the process on taking Alan away. So patrick takes Osgood's offer to go on his world tour to fart the high note he can't reach....i felt stupid writing that last line, i don't know if the writer felt stupid at all!
So Osgood becomes the number 1, while at the same time not paying patrick or letting him eat.
Slavery.
Y'KNOW, FOR KIDS!
After Osgood leaves, Patrick is confronted by former 1 Placido C. Placido.
Really, movie, Really?
It's bad enough when I think the movie is Made on Drugs, when your villain is named...PCP!
So Patrick blurts out he farts the high note so Placido puts a laxative out of his pocket (as you do!) and pours it on a trifle and forces Patrick to eat it. That night in Rome, Patrick Cannot Control the sustained note so it becomes an earthshattering trump. As Placido uncovers the farce, a loose light-fixture falls and kills him stone dead. Patrick is arrested and tried as a Murderer.
It's the day of the trial and Prosecutor Silk is played by....Stephen Fry?
(throws hands up)
Okay..I give up...How the Fuck did you convince Stephen fry to be in this movie?
Every person who had issues with Patrick takes turns in calling him a murderer, Patrick who doesn't have a lawyer or no one. Without defending himself. Patrick Smash, a retarded, easily-led Man-cow from an alcoholic mother and a dead-beat father is found guilty of murder, in at best, An accidental death and sentenced to death by firing squad.
WHY IS NO-ONE PROTESTING THIS?
A child is going to be shot dead by a firing squad for farting because the bolt of the light fixture was damaged. Surely because this was given world attention in the film, that someone would protest that the little duh-brain was going to get killed. Even though she was driven to drink by him, Why wouldn't his mother protest? Why isn't Any-one protesting this?
(here I would put in a youtube clip of the "It'll Just Raise Too Many questions" line from Batman Forever but there isn't one)
...Until the CIA rescues Patrick and brings him to Florida reuniting him with Alan. Appartenly the space station life support has being destroyed and Nasa doesn't have a machine quick enough nor the time to build a quick machine that wouldn't destroy the ecosystem, SO Patrick, Alan, and a mission control made up of children(We Get It, movie, Adults Are Useless!)
So let me put you out of your misery!
Patrick's farts makes the stock footage of a rocket take off, he saves the astronauts, he returns a hero and so the film ends ala the Witch Mountain Remake. I.e, All the people who made fun of the hero is kissing his ass.
I hope they brushed their teeth afterwards!
THIS FILM SUCKS!
First this film (rated pg)was not sold separately, it was sold as a three-pack with two 15 Cert films I sure kids and teenagers would be offended by anyone who gave this to them to be watched.
Now to the film, this is standard Bank holiday/Rainy day crap children film fare, with all the cliches and tropes that come with it.
Adults are indeed useless, all of them either uncaring or obsessed with the silliest of things. (Silk's counterclaim when addressing a metallurgist was anyone who hates opera deserves to die!), Patrick is an Idiot Hero with an limited amount of lines given (you will be taking shots every time Cook says "it was the best/worst day of my life. Ever.") And Rupert Grint's Loquacious Nerd is every Loquacious Nerd Stereotype ever seen. The Costumes are just black and Green with more colour given in the ending in Florida, The premise is stupid even for a kids film, and the fact that Callow and Fry are in this venture is just sad.
I would say that this film is shit but I've had enough Scat humour for one month!
(Meanwhile, In a undisclosed location, a silvery form made of data walks into a large circular room with a single statis pod erected she wipes the condolsesation to reveal 80'S LAD!
REBOOT IMMINENT...

Eamonn reviews the REAL Sequel to Ghostbusters!
So i was talking to my friend the other day and he said,
"Eamonn, did you hear there will be a Ghostbusters 3?
..."Yes i did hear about that..."
"How will they manage that? Make a film about charectors we haven't heard from in 30 years?
...Oh you mean, like this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEpCUB8IjzM
Yes that's real.
In 1997 Sony television created a 40 episode season of a new ghostbusters team. Named EXTREME! Ghostbusters to remind us what decade it's from. Extreme is noted for it's darker take on the franchise, as well as being a fond favourite of older fans of GB.
So lets dig for this rare tv gem this is the first 2 episodes of Extreme Ghostbusters.
So this first episode, Darkness at Noon, Part 1, starts with a cutaway scene of subway workers breaking through a wall, when a green gas manifests itself into a demonic queen. We then get another hit of that AWESOME-SAUCE Intro Song. It was Sang by Voice-actor Jim Cummings, the voice of Robotnik. This is not the first time he sang in a cartoon, he was actually Jeremy Irons Singing voice in Loin King and Christopher Lloyd's Singing voice in Anastasia
So lets start.
We Start we it really all began for the 'Busters, the New york Metropolitian College. Egon Spengler(Maurice Lamarche) Has returned to teaching and his surprised that his class of 97 has doubled.
Doubled to 4!
They are slacker Eduardo(Rino Romaro), Wheelchair bound athlete Gareth(James Marsden) African-American preppie Roland (Alfonso Ribeiro) and Goth Kylie(Tara Strong)
While Kylie and Roland have enrolled into Egon's class of Paranormal Studies of their interests of Ghosts and Mechanics respectively, Gareth was spurred by hero worship, and Eduardo is in it for the"Easy As"
Egon is given a teaching assistant it turns out to be Janine who implies that Egon and her were an item.
Wait did they put Lewis on the bus?
She tell us that Egon still lives at the firehouse with Slimer.
Speaking of which, Slimer (Billy West) is minding his own business when the PKE Readings goes off the scale. The demonic Queen reveals her name has Archira, Daughter of the Gozerian, Destroyer of Civilisations. When Slimer bolts to the college, Roland offers to drive everyone to the firehouse. While there, they watch a news report of the opening scene in the subway. As Egon investigates, The New Mayor calls him a con-artist. At the Firehouse Kylie steals a Ghost-Beacon to use in a seance. That night, Kylie uses the device with intent of contacting her Grandma. Instead she gets possessed by Achira as her vessel to spread her disease. Her first victim? Egon. Crippled by debilitating boils, Egon has no choice but to train his students to be a New Generation of Ghostbusters, thus ending Episode 1
After a run-down at the beginning of episode 2, The rag-tag team go out on patrol trailing, unbeknownst to them, a possessed Kylie infecting the disease to passengers on a subway. The screams distresses a blind man Until Kylie/Archira lies to him not to worry while infecting him. Very effective Nightmare Fuel.
After the team splits from him, Eduardo is confronted by Kylie who chats him up, before she can kiss her (And Eddy points that she's "LEGAL!") The others return. After debating if the protons will kill Kylie, Eddy jumps the gun by shooting Archira out of Kylie. Trapping the spirit is unsuccessful as Eduardo forgot to bring a trap.
Returning to the firehouse, Egon is disappointed that his equipment is not strong enough to deal with this more advance creature. Thankfully, Roland is a mechanical prodigy that tunes up the ECTO 1 (even adding a wheelchair ramp) And resigning the rectangular traps in circular ones, designating Kylie as the Trapper.
Archira reveals her plan, her victim's boils are in fact EGGS that hatch miniture versions on Archira. the plan is implied that the boils devour the weakened victims.
So lets wrap this up
The XGB's Trap Archira(If you watched this on Disney, the entire strobe lightning sequence was edited by the Nazi Rat!) And as Roland thinks it's all over the subway crew releases an entire cloud of Ghoulies.
THIS SHOW WAS AWESOME!
With rumours of Ghostbusters 3 making the rounds, Jeff Kline and Harold Ramis are constantly asked if this series will the plot to the sequel. And why not? For a cartoon, the characters are relateable and likable. The ghosts are no longer played for comic effect, thanks in part to the darker art-style and depiction of actual Legends, they also dealt with real issues that were written extremely well, such as respecting elders(Riddle of the Sphinx),Infatuation(Sonic Youth),Fear(Fear itself) Abusive relationships(The Crawler) and Racism(The True Face of the Monster)
As for why it never got a second series, put it down to Executive Meddling. The higher up at Columbia thought the show was too politically correct. No, that will be November's Entry.
But the real meddling came out to why so many cartoons where in the 90's were cancelled: Money!
Despite winning an award from the Los Angeles Disability Committee for the Character of Gareth, and the fact he became the De facto new leader, the toyline did not think anyone would buy a wheelchair bound action figure.
Well, Despite all the Meddling XGB Was pretty the successor the series needed.
(Eamonn goes to his fridge to the floating head of 80's Lad. The food is floating around the head on a static background)
-Let me Guess, there is no 80's Lad, only Zuul?
-Save me, Enlightened Dude, some Totally Bad Shit is about to go dow...
(the static covers 80's lad's face as his screams become digitised. the face less head now discourteously Speaks in a digitised woman's voice
Saving 80'S LAD
80's lad is now...SAVED!
BEGINING UNIVERSAL HARD RESET!
DELETE ALL ORGANIC FILES!
I don't know who you are, bucko! But you are not Human! You are an Android, But me?
I AM A MAY'UN!
(Punch!)
(CLANG!)
(Gripping fist) OWWW! WHY DO WE INTERNET REVIEWERS ALWAYS PUNCH ROBOTS? IT NEVER WORKS!
Okay HAL, This will reconfigure you Fucking Settings!
(Eamonn Arm glows with Silverly Flames)
HADOU-KARA PUNC-
DETCTING CORRUPT FILES! CONTINUE?=Y/N
N=RETRIEVING DATA LOGGING OUT...
(the static defragments back into the fridge interior)
Joe-jack! I saw 80'S LAD! His head was floating in the fridge then it turned into a silver head with a sat nav lady voice that tried to delete me!
(Joe-Jack shoots Eamonn with a Tranquilizer Dart!)

Tekken month: Eamonn reviews Tekken: blood vengeance
WE END ENLIGHTENED TOWERS' REVIEW HALF OF TEKKEN MONTH
With an example of a Tekken film done right. Is it any good? Yes. Is it the greatest Amime ever. no it's not. But find out for yourselves as we dig into Tekken blood Vengeance
I've tried my best to show you an image but its so famous by now that it has being dubbed the cover that "launched a 1000 shippers!"
For those who hav'nt, It's Xiaoyu holding Alisa in the style of La Pieta in a warzone. The dark clouds and offsetting sunrise makes it a striking shot, but the lighting and position of Alisa's Robotic Rump makes it look like Xiao has no skirt on.
As the story progresses you'll find out that Xiao will wear LESS Around Alessa!
The film starts as a women on a motorbike is playing chicken with a truck. As the truck explodes the woman takes of her headgear to reveal herself as Nina Williams. the truck driver reveals herself to be Anna Williams who wears that delicate and highly flammable silk quipo even when driving trucks full of explosives.Anna challanges her sister to a fight and the williams do what they are good at. Not being the Bread in a Kazuya sandwich, but kicking each other's asses.
I must share these first 5 minutes with you. The Animation is great, the dialogue syncs with the lip movement, and the moves are true to form.

So Nina avoids arrests as she gathers intel for Jin on the "M" Project. He tells Nina to go to Russia to get "it"(Alissa). Meanwhile, at G-Corp, Anna shows Kaz a picture of the only survivor of the M(utare) Project, Shin Kamiya. Anna plans to emotionally blackmail Ling Xiaoyu into becoming a spy for G-Corp.
We cut to Ling Xiaoyu, who is just a normal 19 year old girl...who is just so happens to be an Martial Artist who rides a panda like a horse and own her own theme park!
Y'know, Completely Normal!
After being expelled from school by Ganryu, Anna hires Xiao as her protege in the spy world.
As for the time-line, this happened after Tekken 4 as Ling didn't recognise Anna. Causing people to spectulate (and they are right) that Anna didn't actively compete in the 3rd tourament. we are told that later heihachi died in the Honmaru Fire. And alessa's campaign mode took place during tekken 5.
Ling is told to shadow Shin, the last and only survivor of the Mutare Project. Transfered to Kyoto-go High, we get our first cameo as Lee is now a teacher of robotics to a Class of one.
Given how much fans hated combot that comes to no surprise!
Xiao is surprised at how easy-going Kyoto-go is compared to Mishima-Tech Bumping into Alissa Bosconovich as Xiaoyu looks on in slow motion at her ass running away. On top of the school, Shin tries to kill himself but Xiao saves the Ungrateful Cunt. Searching his dorm that night, Ling spies shin having a shower,but turns to see Alissa also watching. Shin reveals that he has a tattooed arm that faintly looks like True Orge's Snake Arm and he is guarded by a Crow
Making contact with Anna, Anna tells Ling to find out what is making Shin invulnerable.
In Class Lee is giving a Chekov's Lecture about the Obligatory Supernatural Tekken boss.Shin tries to play Alissa and Xiao against each other. But Xiao presses shin about his disappearance. but says he cant remember, he gives a Humans are Bastards Speech before his tattoo glows and growls like True Orge
Alissa is confused about her feelings for shin, So she planned on winning the Prom queen title at the mokujin festival, It's there that Shin is Kidnapped. realizing this, Alissa reveals herself as a robot who hard resets into Assassination Mode.
So Alissa and Ling have a fight and despite her sweet nature, Alissa has chainsaw arms, bomb heads and robot wings. The fight is interrupted when Anna turns on Xiaoyu, but Panda helps them escape.
In the forest, The girls are hiding. Alissa's override is over, returning her to her previous state. Jogging past them is an unexpected savior, Lee.
Using his Mansion as a base, Xiaoyu and Alissa Discover that the Mutare Experiment was a transfusion of Orge's blood to build an army of super-soldiers. They find that Heihachi's name is being used as Shin's Legal guardian.
As Ling takes a shower she gets a text from Lei Wulong telling her they never found Heihachi's body in Honmaru. Stepping out of the shower, She see Alissa and Panda watching cartoons. Alissa tells Ling she plans to save Shin out of her feelings of love for him. Ling asks if those "feelings" are just programmed.
And that is the wrong things to say to that charecter!
BACKSTORY!
Despite Alissa being introduced as a playable charector in T6:BR, She has being a plot device since tekken 1. After suffering a car-crash that put her in a coma, Dr bosconovish devoted his life to Cyrogenics and robotics. When G-Corp attacked his lab, Alissa's human body was destroyed but her human memory was digitised and put in a robotic body.Dr .B has being missing since 5 and Alissa is searching for him.
As the G-Corps plan to seize Lee's Pimp Pad, Alessa and ling get close
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItPcQWfPkds
Hear that? that is the sound of 1000s of nerd's wrists breaking typing Ships that will turn Alessa into a robotic Russian Lesbian Schoolgirl
Russian...Lesbian...Schoolgirl.....What does that remind me of?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mGBaXPlri8
Nina reconnects Alissa's MishimaNET link telling Ling that the lab is now Kyoto castle's Mokujin exhibition.
Finding Shin in the castle. they learn he lured the 3 generations of mishima to take them out, while expositing while they each want his M-cells. Jin, to cure his Devil Gene, Kaz to enhance his and Heihachi to turn back the clock. Shin goes to attack 'Hachi. as he does his strentgh leaves him. with a few blows Shin is murdered.
The Mishima's fight over Shin's body, destroying kyoto castle in the process. Dispatching Heihachi. Kaz becomes Devil Kaz. Alissa intervenes but Jin uses a voice command to deactivate her. Kaz steps on Alissa, breaking her in half. Jin turns into Devil Jin but loses control but its a bluff he can control it and defeats his father.
Heihachi opens the golden coffin and releases a spirit that combines all the Mokujins into one giant version.
we will refer to this creature as the "Earth Goddess", the combined consiousness of all mokujins and trees is superpissed at humans right now!
The Goddess attacks ling but panda helps her owner.The goddess is convinced that humanity is worth saving but Heihachi breaches its heart and takes control.
So let's wrap this up!
A double-team Devil Lazer/Sky-Rocket SuperPunch destroys the earth goddess and 'hachi. Jin recognises the Irony of an animal and a robot saving the world from a manmade evil, and tells Xiao that next they met, prepare to kill him. And so the film ends in Heihachiland, as Xiao convinces a repaired Alissa to join the next tourney, as she has motion capture data of the 3 Generations.
THIS FILM IS...ACCAPTABLE!
After Live Action. this is a step-up from that turd. But first negatives. Unless you follow the game Series, you will be lost to the plot. Second the unlikable one-shot Charecter of Shin. If you wanted to tell us Orge was returning in the game, give us Orge and not this whiny, suicidal floppy haired pansy boy who couldn't take a punch. Next negative the annoyingly perky nature of Alissa. Why would a killer robot act like she does? okay i said she was human before a robot but why would anyone act like a giggly bimbo when on a mission? I refer to a scene where they are entering Mishima-tech and Alissa says she would rather find embarassing Yearbook photos of Ling!
Now the postives!
Animation was slick, mouth movement lined up and story fitted the world we knew, rather that disregard it completly. Namco overlooked the production (for a change!) the script was written by Dai"Cowboy bebop" Saito and produced by Digital frontier, All Anime heavyweights.
So Tekken: Blood Vengeange. A tekken film done by people who know what they're doing!
