Ren & Stimpy are back!!!

[Cullen]

She's still acting.  She was in 10 Things I Hate About You and a few other movies.

To find out more, you can do what I did and look her entry up at the IMdB.

(The number of times I mention that site, you'd think they'd send me a check or something...)

I was always disappointed, "Hey, Yak, Where's your Tag!?!" never caught on a catchphrase. I still every once in a while blurt it out when trying to get someone's attention or want to say, "Where do you thing you're going?" Strange looks ensue.

But I still refer to people picking their noses as playing with their magic nose goblin collection. Even people who haven't sent Ren & Stimpy get that one.

YAAAAAAAAAAAA I can't wait for it to come back.I love the shows sick and twisted humor not to mention the interesting animation style.Now only if they would bring back Beaves and Butthead

im an artist and find the artistic style of ren and stimpy something refreshing.I know its sick, but Ive always thought cartoons were to tame I like the insane humor of it.I think the art of most of the cartoons now days is great. Look at Courage the Cowardly dog,Samurai Jack, and Dexters Laboratory, they have great art and animation style in them.I don't understand what you people would consider good art in cartoons,Speed racer?Disney cartoons?or even any of the old saturday morning cartoons.None of the art or animation styles were spectacular.I think that cartoon have gotten better and more interesting as of late, with them being less censored and oriented towards children.

I always liked the disgusting still frame close ups on Ren & Stimpy.

Like when it shows Ren's twitching nerve endings in his mouth when he loses his teeth and gets visited by The Nerve Ending Fairy!

He gets left a ball of lint!

Gross!

Would that be Spumco-vision? It's too bad no one has sold limited edition high quality prints of those close up stills, there's bound to be a market for them. They could be like Thomas Kincaid prints for the sick and twisted. I'll take the whole series!

Looking back on the old REN & STIMPY episodes, I must say that I found the animation to be quite good. It had a strange retro 50's style, which would then be twisted around by the characters. Yeah, the animation was sick and twisted. But it was intended to be and fit the characters persona. As for the new episodes, if they maintain the original style and vocalists (i.e., as I can recall, John K. did the voice of Ren) then I look forward to it.

And I must say that the history of REN & STIMPY's legal hassles/creative control  between John K. and Nickelodion is sometimes more interesting than the show itself. That and their are numerous alternate versions of the old show in which they were cut and re-cut by Nickelodion when they showed syndicated re-runs (i.e., This was mainly due to the subject matter of the episodes. Funny how the shows gross-out themes made Nickelodion popular in the first place.).

Something tells me that the old episodes need to be released on DVD in their uncut form. Possibly with an audio commentary from John K. as well. But I guess it's just another pipe dream.
