New Heavy Metal Movie

Maybe this explains why South Park parodied Heavy Metal in last night's episode. I thought it was strange that they randomly decided to parody a movie that came out in 1981, but it turns out they were being topical after all.
I actually liked the first one, even though it is almost as juvenile as South Park makes it seem. It was fun sci-fi with at trippy, dark atmosphere. Plus the B-52 bomber scene is the only time a cartoon has ever been as scary as a live-action horror film. Also, it sounds like this movie will go back to being several short animated films, which automatically makes it better than Heavy Metal 2000.

Yes, the DOJ has finally approved the XM-Sirius Merger. A month ago, I thought it would never happen. It still has to go through the FCC, but they are expected to approve too.

Plus, he broke the news in an interview on the Ron and Fez show. Since then, Jason Bateman and Will Arnett have also confirmed that a movie is in the works.
