    Great to see Warp 11 get some love from io9! They're a fantastic band--hooks far as the eye can see, great musicianship, hilarious lyrics.


    And this is their FIFTH album, so there's a lot more where that came from.


    (Disclaimer: I've been friends with the band for years. But they really are that good.)

    @brianeisley: I would imagine they are a great show. Undersexed nerds and oversexed music are a good mix.

    After hearing about them on Topless Robot, I went and bought all their albums on Amazon.


    "Gotta Make it So" is possibly the best pump up song ever.

    @c0dek: Actually, much like Barack Obama's speech patterns are designed to hypnotize listeners through neuro-linguistic programming, Bush's speech habits/patterns were changed by his control agents from the NWO and the finance oligarchs, to what you heard during his Presidency. No, I don't believe that.


    @Dr Emilio Lizardo: For some reason, I read that as Nukulear Weasel.

    Speaking of the Herculoids, I just caught up with some showings on my DVR of The Secret Saturdays and it was hard not to notice that this is a throwback to the Herculoids - which makes it totally awesome!

    eBay was my (very expensive) friend to get this DVD. I saw it for sale at Tower Records when it was first released, said, I don't really have $20 now. Then, a couple years later, paid ~$200 on eBay for it. Because (a) I'm a dork and (b) I love me some Little Shop.

    @Antediluvian: It was circulating in Borders warehouses for years after the recall. When the movie was reissued on DVD a couple of years later sans extras, a number of the '98 vintage discs ended up on the shelves.

    Well, I know one reason they changed it -- that ending goes on WAY, WAY too long! Okay, plants eating the city, got it. I didn't need to see the same damned fx shot of bricks exploding from a wall, or running feet, or reaction shots of extras for the fourth or fifth time.

    @Cambias:
    In the musical, that sort of thing isn't really feasible, so it's just the chorus singing the song.

    While I don't particularily like seeing Rick Moranis meet such an unfortunate end, this ending is certainly more interesting than the original "happy" ending. There are two probable reasons why this ending didn't make the cut.


    1) Completing the original version would have put them over budget in some way (damn catering).


    2) This ending didn't test well with audiences, so they changed it.

    Ah, the '80s. Most spineless decade in movie history. (RIP, Levi Stubbs.)


    Gotta love Frank Oz's temp laughter at the end of the second clip.

    I've only seen the play, and that's exactly how it ends. I didn't realize the movie was drastically different.
