After exhaustingly re-creating and lampooning famous TV title sequences, the good people at Fatal Farm have set their sights on Garfield.

The videos are surreal enough at first glance, with actors playing the roles of the comic strip characters, paying careful attention to the original and having the 3 panels executed flawlessly. Then something stranger happens… a music video tribute to Garfield creator Jim Davis.

These really have to be seen to be understood. Lasagna Cat is truly strange and often hilarious.

BCI has created an exclusive slipcase for the Mike Young Productions’ Masters of the Universe DVDs. The slipcase will come with the first volume as a Best Buy exclusive and be able to hold all three forthcoming volumes. The spine of the slipcase will continue the mural created across the spines of the classic He-Man, New Adventures of He-man and She-Ra Princess of Power DVD sets. Thus, of course, causing my OCD to kick in and make me finish off my Princess Of Power DVDs so there are no gaps in my DVD spine mural.

 

Remember the first volume is set to be released on February 19th. You can see details here.

You can pre-order it here if you don’t care about the exclusive slipcase. If you do care about the slipcase, then you will only be able to find that at Best Buy.

While we haven’t talked much about it on the site, I came across some more details on the new Spider-man animated series coming to the CW network. It will be premiering March 8 at 10AM EST. I didn’t realize it at first, but it appears that the character designs are actually done by Sean “Cheeks” Galloway, whom some of you may know from his character design work for the Hellboy Animated movies.

Buy these DVDs so that they finally release season 2 part 2 so that I can stop capturing clips from my archaic VCR to make these videos:

If you’re wondering about the cat it’s because I closed the door to shoot my video, and as soon as I started filming he decided he wanted to leave the room.

The world of Resident Evil is getting some high priority in the media world recently. Hot on the heels of the recently released Umbrella Chronicles (see earlier this week for more on that), we also seem to have a CGI movie in the works as well. Despite some videos being removed on YouTube, a perfectly safe teaser trailer has been released to the rabid public who are dying to keep filled up on their zombie-slaying quotas.

You get a basic gist of the plot simply from this small snippet of footage, but plenty is still left open to interpretation. Good to know Claire Redfield still sports the *exact* same look she did 7 years prior during Resident Evil 2 & Code Veronica. I know if I’ve got a good thing going, I stick with it for years on end.

Also as a little treat for the Resident Evil enthusiasts, a “Virtual Legends” line of pre-painted scale statues have also been made available for pre-order through various import toy distributors, and include Umbrella Chronicles variations of Chris Redfield and the T-002 Tyrant among others. Not cheap mind you, but nice additions to any collector’s montage.

Note that you will need a region 2 or region free DVD player to play this movie.

The FOX Network has announced plans to move forward with new episodes of Family Guy without the participation of creator, writer, and star Seth Macfarlane. According to Reuters:

20th TV had no comment on the matter Tuesday but confirmed that it remains in production on new episodes. The first episode finished without MacFarlane’s blessing has been delivered to Fox. Sources said it is one of three very close to completion, with others in various stages of production.

Seth MacFarlane voices Peter, Brian, and Stewie. Its not mentioned whether Seth Green (who voices Chris, but is also the writer of Robot Chicken) or Alex Borstein (the voice of Lois and also a Family Guy writer) will appear or not. This is worse than Wrong Sounding Muppets.

If ringers are brought in, I hope fans do not tune in as a show of support for a show that lived and was brought back to life because of its fans. Also one would hope the episodes are re-recorded with the regular cast once the strike is over for future DVD releases.
