Ever since the new Indiana Jones movie (which I have yet to see) came out, I amusedly reflected on how in a certain scene from Dreams of Rio, Jack Flanders is inside a temple in a lost city in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, waiting for the morning sun to strike a crystal skull that he has placed on an altar, and he jokingly remarks, "I feel ( Read more... )

Today on Ruby 2, a double feature: Attack of the Digital Dentist and The Return of Ruby TooThe second part with Ruby Too and And/Or is so hilariously adorable, especially at the very end. And/Or's infatuation with her is just too cute ("She touched me, did you see that?") It's too bad that this is the only series that Ruby Too appears in. I would ( Read more... )

Ant Begone - one of Ruby 2's many bizarre, irrelevant interludes.

"Do you smell something?"
"No, I got moss in my nose."
"Do you hear something!?"
"No, I got bats in my ears."

Setting the stage (featuring the phrase "giant suck-balls" in a remarkably innocuous context).

And now, the moment I've been waiting for for a long time...SPOOLAGA!Of course, Pastor Pizarro's sermons were created decades before Landover ( Read more... )

Humor, suspense, witty repartee, familial conflict, mystery, action, violence, tentacles, exploding things, religion, impressionism and unexplained phenomena, all within three minutes.

I always crack up at the "Point it that way" exchange. The image of a little old rat lady dispatching several genetically engineered assassins is priceless.

This is probably one of my favorite R2 episodes, mostly because of the conversation between And/Or and Ruby 1 towards the end. Ruby is so cruel to And/Or at times, and though it's easy to sympathize with And/Or, Ruby is such a well-written, likeable character that you often find yourself laughing at And/Or's misfortune at the same time.

Today, an action-filled duo of Ruby 2 eps, both featuring...Ruby 1?:

This is probably the only series I've encountered where the second numerical installment has a name shared by its protagonist and features a visit from the star of the first installment.

"Heh-heh...one thing you Slimies didn't count on is that I've been carrying...a portable... ( Read more... )

Gyaaah, I can't believe I didn't post this episode the day it came out! Stupid, stupid, stupid...

Oh no, the Boogerman! - This Ruby 2 episode definitely ties with "House of Whoopie" for the most outragously juvenile one in the entire show. Talk about redefining the term B-movie ( Read more... )

Ruby Too: Where is the Count?
Sam the bardroid: The Count is in his portable inflatable palace.
Ruby Too: Portable inflatable palace?
Sam: The one with tractor treads and inflatable tower.
Ruby Too: Inflatable tower?
[brief pause]
Sam: There's an echo.
Ruby Too: An echo?
Sam: Yes. You can't miss it.

"Zippers!? Yuck -- you could have had velcro..." ( Read more... )

Sal: What would you like to do tonight?
Sam: What would you like to do tonight?
Sal: Let's do something mindless!
Sam: Let's do something dumb!
Both: Time for TV! Hah-hah!
