Merry Deadly Christmas

’Bred Alerts, 12.23.05 - 12.26.05

Imminent arrivals (all times Pacific; actually recommended things highlighted like this*):

Movies

The Ringer (now playing) Word is that the Farrelly Brothers, who produced this, are very upset with the South Park guys, claiming they ripped off the cheating-at-the-Special-Olympics premise. Only one way to settle this: Farrellys vs. Parker-Stone, to the death. Me, I’m pulling for a tie.

Wolf Creek (12.25) Instead of wasting December screeching because people have the nerve to say "Happy Holidays," shouldn’t the fundies have been up in arms about, I don’t know, a slasher movie opening on Christmas? (Better yet, shouldn’t they just shut the hell up?)

TV

Perfect Hair Forever Marathon (Adult Swim, Sat. night 12.24, midnight) More proof that Adult Swim doesn’t want viewers on Saturday night.

Earth Wind & Fire Tribute on Ice (Bravo, Sun. 12.25, 11 a.m.) Finally, water is represented.

The Venture Bros.* (Adult Swim, Sun. night 12.25, 1:30) The rarely seen pilot, in which the Monarch had a more unfortunate costume and it was suggested that Dr. Venture was a little more interested in Brock than he would be in the series.
