One of my favoritest movies ever just came out as a special edition DVD with all kindsa new features and commentaries and goodies and yummy crappy goodness!!! And I ordered it for cheep last week (gotta love overstock.com), and I got my copy in the mail today. JOY!!!

Has anyone checked this baby out yet? I haven't had time to so much as give the main menu a glimpse since I got it.

Now I know why you like Althom so much

Best. Movie. Ever.

when they blow up the iron giant at the end i always want to cry like a baby - then i pretend it's althom and i man up. i even crack a hopeful little smile.

GrayKing said:

damn. skippy.

The animation alone is a feast for the eyes.

Of course althom hopefully would scream more.

i would hope for more gratuitous robot gore if it were "The Althom Giant".

Anxiety said:

I lvoe that friggen movie.

Seldom has a cartoon recently captured my imagination like that one.

Is there a sequel?

Anxiety said:

Oooo! The robot could have sparks inside that short circuit and electrocute him then it goes back and forth for 30 minutes!

It could be the extended edition!

subhuman09 said:

and happy clowns in those little miniature clown cars could ride circles around althom while he fizzles and groans in slow motion for half an hour, and a kick line of giggling kitties could do a happy celebratory can-can dance!

Anxiety said:

They've gotta re-release this in IMAX 3D!!

"We have the technology, we can make him spark faster, longer..."

i'm just bummed i didn't hop on the iron giant toys bandwagon. they had some cool shit out when that movie came out, and now it's all going for like a kajillion bucks on eBay.

Anxiety said:

Didn't it all go under the radar pretty much during its first release?

I'm sure althom has a shrine you can steal things from to pay for your ever growing Bowie collection.

I hear Hallo Spaceboy halogen bulbs are next.

subhuman09 said:

i think my pathetic mid-life crisis obsessions are going to be iron giant toys and pee-wee herman toys (fortunately, i still have most of those).

next on the list - a billy baloney ventriloquist dummy!

subhuman09 said:

the whole movie pretty much time. film side of Warner Bros. shut down the animation arm of the company in the middle of it being made, and it didn't get much promotion.

Anxiety said:

HA!

althom said:

BASTARD!!!


i'm going to sell you on eBay, between the bootleg mary toast auctions and the pervy used underpants auctions.

moderators can auction certain orgers off, you know. we can do that kind of thing.

I'll have to check out this film. Everybody raves about it.

The same guy made The Incredibles which I think is an excellent film too.

and i could really use a good $2.37 - daddy needs a new jar of Ragu.

Anxiety said:

I had no idea what a Ragu is.so I googled it. Why are you wanting to buy this guy?

I still need to get those DVDs!

I loved that show-still find it funny Rob Zombie was a designer on the show.

althom said:

i prefer the BIG ragu.

GrayKing said:

That's what I thought-I'm just glad it's getting the attention it deserves.

It's a great film.

I am not a huge fan of this movie, but my partner is. He loves it. I know what I am getting him for xmas now. I just gotta tell him to stop shopping (call out a cease order on everything but comic books)...cuz he'll get it the moment he sees it.
