Votes and Video

Season 3 of The Venture Bros. premieres online this evening at over at ADULT SWIM.COM with our first episode, "Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny." As usual, you can spoil it for yourselves and watch it all tiny with questionable compression, or you can wait till Sunday night to see it in all its letterboxed, full-color, sonically-rich glory on the cable-equipped television of your choice. Whatever mode you choose to receive this gift, I implore you to please not spoil it for anyone else until after Sunday's broadcast!

Meanwhile...

...DOC HAMMER is participating in the "Masters of Song Fu" song contest over at QUICK STOP ENTERTAINMENT , pitting his musical skills against the likes of Jonathan Coulton, Paul & Storm, and a host of amateur upstarts. But he needs your votes! That Coulton cat is a slippery type, and an old hand at this internet self-promotion stuff, so he's already organized his army of sycophants to tippy-type their votes in his column. So click on the above image, give a listen, and vote your conscience!

Good luck, Doc! And happy viewing & listening to the rest of you...

We Love You,

JP

P.S. ...and don't forget...

Current Music: "Whenever You're Ready" -- The Zombies

Thanks, you jerks. Now I gotta blow off my friends and family Sunday night. But fuck it...who likes funerals these days anyhow?

Can't wait:-)

Yay for letterbox!!

I know you must be busy. but would you consider writing a LJ post containing advice for people undertaking an Animation project?

I am a Film student who is trying to get an animated western off the ground. Thats why I ask.

I will also be bailing on important social events just to stay home and watch the new episode. Of course by "important social events" I mean going to bed early to masturbate and cry myself to sleep.

Since this is my last chance to see the Bros. on cable, I'll be there!

I love the idea of the Shirt Club, but alas, I shall have to buy onesies instead of the stomping horde, and curse the fact that I will have to buy the Samson T on Ebay for $5K 15 years from now when I am thoroughly broken in spirit and just trying to recapture some past-life nostalgia. . . .

And I will totally go vote for not-Coulton on the Song Fu site. Damn him and his lackies, and his disregard for the integrity of ponies!!!!

Pimpin', Venture style

Everybody should check out this rocking inteview with Captain Publick at the AV Club:

And I'd also like to invite everybody to check out the Onion AV Club's TV Section come Monday morning, where I will cover the %$^# out of the premiere. (And the rest of the Adult Swim line-up, too.)

If I remember right, he said HD a few months ago(I'm too lazy to go look it up now). I hope HD, we just got Cartoon Network in HD on DishNetwork. I bought a bucket so the first time I see Brock Samson kill a man with his bare hands in glorious 720p I'll have something to catch my exploding skull.

AVClub

I'm shocked -- SHOCKED -- that you didn't mention your interview for the AVClub that's up right now. You need to be more up on this self-promotion thingy that teenagers all talk about these days.

By the way, they used the best photo ever for your insert image. Goggles + leather jacket + jetpack = creamed jeans.

The horrors of bad subtitling

Actually, it's not "teh-heh sex" if you read the subtitles. Supposedly it's "to have sex," which doesn't make a god damn lick of sense in context. Let's hope the subtitling on Season 3 isn't the walking, talking aberration most other [adult swim] releases are.

Tonight! Tonight! Tonight! OHHHHHHHHHH!

[Please forgive the bad Genesis ref.]

We'll have to watch it all tiny and questionably compressed, since we got rid of cable last year and haven't really had any reason to get it back (though I have argued the TVBS3 is a pretty damned good reason).

I promise not to ruin it for anyone else.

Thanks again--you guys are surely gods among men.

PS. This may sound weird, but is there any way to get a GIF/JPEG of the Monarch's logo? We bought a tangerine orange Honda Element, and have christened it "The Monarchmobile"--I'd like to get decals made for the back windows. I've looked at online fan art and screen caps of the Monarch's chestplate, but nothing meets my quality standards...

Just watched it over on Adult Swim's site.

Just got done watching the entire thing. You guys rock. Will watch again on Sunday; it'll be lots more fun without the site chugging to a standstill through half of it.

You get more mileage out of The Planets than any other show I can think of. Which is a good thing!

Amazing

I feel like a kid on some sort of weird, gore filled Christmas (and thankfully not the eco-friendly kind). I made extra sure to wear my awesome Venture Brother skull T today in honor of Season 3. Also, I was one of the first to see it on adult swim:

When I was finished:

May this be a sign of good things to come. I'll be watching on Sunday.

Awesome

Last night's Lost and today's Venture Bros. (I couldn't resist) make this the best twenty-four hours of my life.
Although I did notice--the boys weren't in the episode, Doc was barely in it and Brock was seen but not heard. Any special reason?
Also: is the season-premiere-different-title-sequence thing going to continue?

Re: Awesome

Thank you.

If you mean "do you guys plan to change the title sequence for every season's premiere?" then you'll just have to wait until the Season 4 premiere to find out.

If you mean "did you guys make a new title sequence for season 3?" the answer is "yes." We had to for the new widescreen/HD format. You'll see it next week.

I just saw the episode and fully plan on seeing it again on Sunday when it airs on TV. The episode was amazing and season 3 promises to be all kinds of extreme awesomeity so thank you and the rest of crew!

Quick shirt club subscription question- the Brock shirt would arrive at the same time as the week 1 shirt, right? If I needed the pair in different sizes do I just e-mail right after my order or mention it in the PayPal payment?

It could have just been the quality at Adult Swim, but it looked like the intro (before the opening credits) had different animation. I don't know quite how to put it, but it wasn't as fluid. It seemed "off".

Do different places take care of different parts? I have no idea how these wonderful shows are actually made.

Absolutely fantastic episode, by the way - and well worth the wait.

Hi,

I know the premier is exciting and I also appreciate the fact that you want to discuss the premier, but...

...for those who are waiting to watch it on Sunday night:

PLEASE STOP POSTING SPOILERS.
