I guess the "insert hand" thing was just Mab trying to break the ice, a silly scene with no real impact. :P

And yay! Looks like we'll stay with the rescue party for a while! *cheers*
I love Mab's "Hmmmmm..." pose in the third panel. You just KNOW the result will be silly xD

Edit:
*stares at the lower left corner of the comic* Did Amber get divorced already?  :dface (;))
That and maybe because it was Halloween.
That and a tad wacky :P :rolleyes
Looks normal to me. :3

I still think it'd be unlikely that a dragon cubi hybrid would be created when the two species each want the other to get cancer and fall off a bridge.

Romeo and Juliet anyone?
What goes for the whole doesn't have to apply to the individual.  :kirby

You silly cow...A dragon and a cubi hybrid..Sheer utter slander and mockery....Other than that...Someone could be least drinking under the bartable

Well, the Jabberwocky movie looked like one of those cheaply-made poorly-written and acted Sci-fi channel original movies.  What did anyone expect from it?  They made a movie out of a less-than-one-page poem.  There was not enough to carry a movie, so they had to make up a bunch of stupid filler.  It'd be like making a movie out of Tron or Super Mario Brothers or a live-action Street Fighter film (Oh wait!  They did that!  And the movies sucked...)  My point exactly.   :3

Gilliam hasn't had a perfect record of movies by a long shot.  "The Brother's Grimm" was another example.  It was an idea with potential that never really came together in any meaningful fashion.  There were so many places the plot could have easily been improved upon that you really have to wonder what they were thinking when they wrote it.
Three's a crowd:  One lordly leonine of the Leyjon, one cruel and cunning cubi goddess, and one utterly doomed human stuck between them.

You try typing one name for 15+ years and see how easy it is to suddenly type a new one for you! :U

After a certain point, it is almost a force of habit to just add the Panyko...so adding the Williams takes a bit more thought...and I'm likely going to forget now and then.

Perhaps you should consider keeping the panyko name for convenience >.>

On a completely unrelated note, I just made the 10,000th post in the DMFA Discussion forum.

But I have the 9999th and 10002nd, which makes me infinitely more important.

Yeah, unlike 10,000 , 9999 and 10,001 are palindromes. Pwnt.

Well perhaps I'm just easily pleased (although that wouldn't explain why I found Life of Brian and Holy Grail to be boring).
Jabberwocky was cheaply made (a couple of interesting artifacts at the end are a result of this) but with a cast of quite famous UK actors (which is possibly why).
On the DVD commentary Gilliam notes that if he'd done it again he would have tried to do it seriously.  That I think would be a mistake.. it's not the plot which I like, because as you rightly say it's pretty flimsy.  No, I like the way Palin triumphs by bumbling from disaster to disaster and above all the weird touches like the potato's journey, the masochistic flagellants and the bit where the prince comes to rescue the princess.
Repo Man does the same kind of thing and I like that too for the same reason.

Now I'm happy to discuss films - preferably those at least tangentially related to the comic - but other people might not.  I guess we'll see how it goes.

In other news, I still don't know how to take a hostage in MGS3 without slitting their throat.  I suck (Yet I've beaten the game with just about every camo, including all boss camos).

my friend had a similar problem. i think you have to be very gentle with your O button.

whatever you do, don't drag the dead bodies to another room next to an unconcious guard and announce 'he did it' to the room you're playing in. it does not, contrary to popular belief, throw the other guards off to the fact that someone is killing scientists.

kellyn: it's like being a secret agent, outside we look perfectly normal. no giant metal faces or tattooed eyes or mohawks. BUT. SECRETLY. DRAWING RAINBOW MONSTERS AND ROOOOLE PLAAAAAYING oh the shame oh the humanity, and man i know so many more cool people now wtf is that

There has never been a movie based on the Tron video game.

Mainly because the video game was based on the movie.

While I agree that Super Mario Bros. and Street fighter didn't make great movies, NEVER DISS TRON!!!  :kruger

Actually I thought the Super Mario Brother movie was rather entertaining in a campy sort of way. It helps to not actually think of it based on anything but its own strange creation.  Like if you tried to explain the entire concept of Mario Brothers to a guy in under two minutes.

That, and you'd also have to be explaining it without any prior knowledge yourself. That's just how far off it is >.>

If the film takes the form of a drug trip experienced by an Italian plumber who gets high on magic mushrooms and goes around killing things, I will probably have to watch it.

Sadly it only involves humans that evolved from lizards instead of apes, a really cute animitronic a pet  raptor instead of a dog (yoshi, which looks almost as good as the Jurassic Park Dinosaurs)  and a gateway between two worlds located in an abandonned NewYork/ Borooklyn subway station. . . and Why did they have to be plumbers? the movie would have been better if it was all about Luigi trying to get the princess and they left Mario out of it.

The boots were totally awesome, though. The SMB movie is still one of the most... entertaining films building up on a game. :D

Indeed, it was very fun provided you kept your inner-angry-gamer in check. The tiny bob-ombs were so cute! And so explosive! :mwaha

Although it really irked me that the main bad guy was named Koopa instead of Bowser. What's the name of the lizard-people race? ......Friggin' koopas!

Throughout the entire history of Mario... and you're complaining about them being plumbers in the -movie-? >.> That's probably the one thing they actually kept right in accordance to the games.
