As for the show, Doc and I are editing the second to last episode, "Showdown at Cremation Creek," which we have a tight deadline on for obvious reasons. Made tighter still because Doc still has a lot of "censoring" to do on the previous episode before it goes to final output for the network (yes, more penises to blur and black out, and some female parts this time, too. Full frontal male nudity somehow became the running thing this season. A step up from season one's urine gags...). And we have to record a song for this one, super-quick.
The Dunny I painted for Kid Robot's Paint Ball Auction seems to have fetched a respectable price, so thanks to whoever bid on that.
Other than that, I'm just reading and watching a lot of movies lately. The Illusionist was a big disappointment...mostly because it was so unimaginatively shot. Then again, I watched a DVD of The Parallax View the night before, in which every single shot is a lingering, beautifully composed image, so perhaps I was a little too hard on it. Still, I'm betting The Prestige, which comes out next month, will be much better (I just can't resist a turn-of-the-century magician movie, and I read the book years ago). I liked Inside Man, though.
We Love You,

P.S. UPDATE: A while ago, adultswim.com sent us some questions which were apparently sent in by viewers and those who frequent their website. Doc and I have answered them, and you can view said answers HERE.

I am really looking forward to The Prestige. How can you go wrong? It's Batman vs Wolverine...as uber-magicians!

In regards to nudity and curse words - will they be accessable on the DVD? Just askin'...

Is that Martian Manhunter as a terrorist suspect? Talk about illegal aliens.
Sunday night can't come soon enough. And don't think it wasn't painful going Venture-less last night.

You don't know me, but I recently sent a business-related e-mail to the "goteamventure" address on your webiste. Do you personally receive those e-mails? It would have been from Brandon Jerwa.
Thanks!

I'm really looking forward to the Prestige - It's got a great cast, I love steampunk stuff - and hell, Bowie is playing Nikola Tesla!

I was daunted by the 800 pages, but it really was a quick read. The writing style is very accessible and the story is imaginative., the characters really relatable. The humor is very dry British Wit. I think TIME named it book of the year or at least placed it on the list of books of the year.

When would we hear of any hope for another season?

Funny, your doodles look only as the things in my imagine do, then I try to draw them out myself, and bam! I have "12 oz. Mouse" all over 100 different pieces of paper. *sigh*
Always wonderful to hear from you.
I'm off to work now, otherwise I would post much, much more.
Thank you for being you.

I posted my question on the venture lj community here and got a pretty damn good response to with people's personal opinions...but I want to know the TRUE answers...since you and Doc would know heh.
SO....what kind of music would the Venture characters listen to? What's Dean, Hank, Brock and Dr. Venture into? Or any of the other characters as well, though I'm especially interested in those 4. Please let me know if you get a chance! THANKS!

On the whole, Dr. Venture listened to a lot of bad prog rock and lamer, late-career entries from rockers who were once great. Brock of course loves Led Zeppelin, but since iTunes doesn't have any, we put a lot of classic rock, some metal and some blues rock stuff on there. The Monarch is big on new wave. And the boys had the most ecclectic list, which included theme songs from Star Wars, The A Team, and Flash Gordon, as well as some Eminem and pop hip hop, a Muppets Christmas song, Elton John and Avril Lavigne. Everyone had one Bowie song on their list as well. For Doc it was Bowie's "Dancing in the Street" duet with Mick Jagger, for Brock it was "She Shook Me Cold," the boys were into "Scary Monsters" and the Monarch of course chose "Word on a Wing."

I was surprisingly impressed by the movie, and I went in expecting it to be pretty crappy. I thought the stark/straightforward shooting helped bring out the performances of the actors. [More imaginative shooting might have made it feel a little too busy, but that could just be my way of thinking.]
Very nice sketches! I love the variety of facial structures and the details on each one, they each have so much personality packed in.

As for the Inside Man, I haven't seen it. But the commercials for it were good because of the line "THIS AIN'T NO BANK ROBBERY!!" THat should be on t-shirts. THat's how great that line is.
