Jackson & Doc & Updates
Doc's turning in his first two scripts back to back this week, one of which is the most uncharacteristically complex plot he's ever penned. The other promises to be this season's "Tag Sale--You're It!" I'm really happy with these stories so far and looking forward to directing them. It feels like Doc and I are hitting our stride, playing all the right notes and yet expanding upon and deepening the Venture universe. Things feel a little more open and easygoing or something...it's hard to explain. But with 27 1/2 of these under our belts already, it's like we can take certain chances with the narrative we couldn't before because we were still setting up the world.
Also the season two DVD is apparently selling very well, which is of course good news.And what about Doc Hammer? Read:
One of the special features of the Season Two set is a tour of Astrobase Go. In it you learn all you ever wanted to know about Astrobase Go. Well, that is if you didn't want to know much more than how long it takes us to get to our studio. Oh what am I saying? "Deep Inside Astrobase Go" is one of the most exiting features ever to be dubbed "special". It was a phenomenal undertaking. A crew of no less than two hundred and fifty, highly paid professionals were rocketed to a moon orbiting space station to make this documentary. Many of them died of shock or lack of oxygen. Still others suffered from a dementia that space travel hands out like party favors. And believe me, it was all worth it. I'd kill them all again to make this most important Special Feature. I would stare in their eyes as I squeezed the last hiss of life from their neck if had to. Yes, it's that important. The people must know what makes the Astrobase so astro-special!
So if you ever wanted to know a whole crapload about the Astro-Base DVD feature on the S2 DVD, this is the thing you have to read. Okay? Good.Guild Operation Corrects Member's Hostile Takeover
New York, NY - April 30, 2007 - On April 29th, the Guild of Calamitous Intent corrected Monarch Corp LLC's hostile take-over of the Venture Brothers-related site The Mantis-Eye Experiment. Monarch Corp's actions were unsanctioned and in direct violation of Guild rules. Rules state that a hostile takeover must be performed on a registered arch-enemy, which Mantis-Eye and all related entities were not.
Guild operatives stormed Monarch Corp LLC's headquarters and removed all equipment being used to maintain the Mantis-Eye Experiment, and assumed control of the website. Ownership will be returned to the site's original owner shortly, as soon as he is located.
The Guild apologizes to the public for any inconvenience or misunderstanding this ordeal may have caused.
Interview With The Publick
I love old Spider-Man comics, but when I read them I wonder, what the hell do these guys want? What makes you put a costume on and start chasing somebody around? What makes you have a lifelong commitment to resenting a specific other human being? Because it's so pointless we've purposely made it more so. Also, I've known a couple of trust fund kids. Their goals are strange and take... a little longer to get to than some people who have to work a little more. It's pointless.
Okay, first of all, WHAT?! HE IS MY NEMESIS. What is so hard to understand?! Okay, well, he's not my nemesis any more because Dr. Girlfriend made me give that up, but if he was then... it's just... it's what we do! Super villainy! COME ON! Fuck it. Here's the stupid interview. Enjoy.In All Its Glory

I recommend watching only the first two episodes and then skipping right to Victor. Echo. November. and then Fallen Arches and then skipping to the last two episodes. NO GO AND WATCH!

SEASON TWO (DVD) APPROACHES
Also you will notice a banner ad for this DVD set at the top of the site. loyal denizen Jackson Publick posted them on his live journal. Shameless. Speaking of shameless, if you purchase the DVD by clicking that little banner ad, you will line the mighty Monarch's pockets with a small amount of extra cash. You know, for snacks.
Addendum: The Monarch is not so good at this web site thing. There's a little dropdown box to select a name of who is updating and the default is that guy who used to work here and I KEEP FORGETTING TO CHANGE IT. I am displeased with this system and someone has to pay for it! Someone needs to figure out how to remove his name!
Kneel Before Me!
... an emotionally unstable arch-enemy raised by butterflies called The Monarch; and his diabolical yet needy, deep-voiced partner-in-crime, Dr. Girlfriend.
First off, emotionally unstable!? HOW DARE THEY! Wizard shall pay for its insolence! And there is a large tax on insolence! Large indeed. That aside, I can't imagine you'd want to read the article any more since I just wrote out the best part. Save your money for better things, like a non-insolent magazine such as Butterfly Weekly. Emotionally unstable. There is no way to accurately express my disdain in text form!
