Red 75 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Anybody besides me have DirecTV? I got the episode in HD!I have Direct and their HD service, but not Comedy Central in HD.
Jay 46,245 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I have that, but we don't subscribe to the HD package. So when I press 249 for Comedy Central, I have to press channel up once and then back down to get to "normal" Comedy Central. Typing in any channel number manually automatically takes me to the HD equivalent, only to read the message that I'm not subscribed to it. And I can't seem to deactivate this by making a favorites list. It's aggravating.You should spring for the HD package, it's FABULOUS. I get just about every single show I watch in HD nowAnybody besides me have DirecTV? I got the episode in HD!I have Direct and their HD service, but not Comedy Central in HD.Are you sure? It just turned on 3 weeks ago or so
Ollie 1,375 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I have Time Warner and they don't offer Comedy Central in HD yet.
Ollie 1,375 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 The Coon....... It figures TDK would get it next. The music even fits.
Jay 46,245 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I noticed a lot of Watchmen imagery too. The Dark Knight music was hilarious Loved the reference to the ginger rally
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 This episode is genius.Making fun of The Dark Knight and The Spirit The music makes me laugh every time it plays, it's almost exact.Also The Coon wall featuring Harvey Weinstein and Bruce Vilanch.
John Crichton 4 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I loved the mocking of the silly Batvoice. The music was good, too. Good as a parody, not good music. "I'm over here.""Now I'm over here."
Jay 46,245 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Ah, The Spirit, I never saw that oneEpisode looked great in HD. Love having DirecTV LOVED the return of Professor Chaos. Loved Cartman's Bale-ized voiced when he was The Coon
Red 75 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Episode looked great in HD. Love having DirecTV I bet. It was a great episode.
Jay 46,245 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 So who was Mysterion? Stan, Clyde, Kenny or Craig?Will it be continued next week?
Ollie 1,375 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 So who was Mysterion? Stan, Clyde, Kenny or Craig?That was part of the joke.
Red 75 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I took it to be some random kid who looks like every other South Park character (generally speaking).
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 All of the kids look the same aside from the clothes and hair.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 So who was Mysterion? Stan, Clyde, Kenny or Craig?That was part of the joke.yes, but it made for an unsatisfying episode.Dave was mad, so was I. But it was worse for him because he said Lost was so bad last night and then South Park was stupid too.
Taikomochi 1,461 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 This episode is genius.Making fun of The Dark Knight and The Spirit The music makes me laugh every time it plays, it's almost exact.Also The Coon wall featuring Harvey Weinstein and Bruce Vilanch.There seemed to be a little Rorschach in there. The opening shot of the episode was a direct parody of one of the opening panels of Watchmen.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 There seemed to be a little Rorschach in there. The opening shot of the episode was a direct parody of one of the opening panels of Watchmen.I didn't see any Watchmen in there.
John Crichton 4 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I wouldn't recognize Watchmen if it came up and bit me in the arse.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 The style of the opening was just making fun of the The Spirit style, with Cartman running on the rooftops, etc. Watchmen didn't fit anywhere in the episode.
Taikomochi 1,461 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Well, if you read the Watchmen, not the movie, but the book. The opening shows the Comedian Pin soaked in blood and sort of zooms out to reveal the investigator standing at the broken window in the exact same way it zoomed out from the newspaper to Cartman.
Red 75 Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 All of the kids look the same aside from the clothes and hair.Token doesn't.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Posted March 20, 2009 Well that's why his name is Token.
Jay 46,245 Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 There seemed to be a little Rorschach in there. The opening shot of the episode was a direct parody of one of the opening panels of Watchmen.I didn't see any Watchmen in there. They were obviously parodying Watchmen in some of the opening shots. And the narration was a direct lift off Rorschack's narration from Watchmen
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 the nice thing is next week there will either be a better one(easy to do) or a worse one(easy to do).
Elmo Lewis 7 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 How is that any different from every other week?
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 How is that any different from every other week?the quest for a better episode is always continuing Ross, at least till the show ends this season.Like Lost, South Park may well have seen better days.
Elmo Lewis 7 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Ah, but seasons 9-10-11 taught us that South Park can always come back from the gates of hell. And even generally unfunny episodes like this week's are fun to watch.About Lost, I disagree with Dave. I think, if it keeps up like this, that this is one of the show's strongest seasons.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 he says each show has it moments but that Lost is lost in season 5, the boy knows his show.
John Crichton 4 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Theytookurjibs!!Freakin' brilliant. Best ep this season, easily.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 yeah it was good, and the needless materialism hit home tonight as I'm going through my den cleaning stuff out, I was going to keep something and Randy said the New Margaritaville with the salsa dispenser, WE NEED THIS, I went back through my keep pile and basically threw it all away.
Ollie 1,375 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Theytookurjibs!!At least they didn't do the giant sex pile. Hilarious episode.
John Crichton 4 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Theytookurjibs!!At least they didn't do the giant sex pile.
Jay 46,245 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I've only seen The Passion the one time; Where any shots from last night's episode directly lifted from it?
pixie_twinkle 60 Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 For anyone interested in supporting small businesses, WalMart is selling South Park season 5 for $14.99. Last month they were selling the first 4 seasons for $14.99 each, so it looks like they're working their way through the back catalogue in their sale. Go on, buy season 5 for just $14.99 and help support your local WalMart.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 Uh, shopping at Walmart doesn't support small businesses, it destroys them!
Ollie 1,375 Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 I avoid going to Walmart at all costs.Thank god a Target was built here.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Uh, shopping at Walmart doesn't support small businesses, it destroys them!ahh now you know true ignorance
Elmo Lewis 7 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 It was a very good episode, best this year so far. But where did the Cartman/Judas plot lead to? Surely, he could've been the one who told the Council where Kyle was when he started paying for everybody's bills. Since the Council allowed Kyle to do his thing, Cartman would've gotten no video game. Maybe they ran out of time to develop it a little more?
Ollie 1,375 Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Tonite's episode........ The Martha Stewart bit was funny.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted April 2, 2009 Author Posted April 2, 2009 effing hilarious.The Road Warrior I don't get how they always get away with this stuff.
Jay 46,245 Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I quite enjoyed the way they referenced the season 2 premiere
Ollie 1,375 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Hehe, liked the episode tonite.Somehow I don't think Mr. West's ego will be too enthused.
Jay 46,245 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Kanye's gay fish song at the end reminded me of a Lonely Island song Great episodeKinda silly that they had Conan in the episode since he's been off the air since Feb
