Where in the World is Lantz? - Free Lantz Journalism

The good news:  Lantz was never apprehended by the authorities after last week's brutal assault on good taste.  Not even Interpol's special fashion police squad and the  weight of the might Focus on the Family could bring him to justice.

The bad news:  In all the excitement, he caught Super AIDS SARS bird flu. Or something. Shit, I dunno.


The silver lining:  We still got a Lantz picture!  5 (or is it 6?) in a row, baby!

The harsh reality:  We got THIS Lantz picture:

Lantz sez:  I've been quite sick the last few days, so I sent an Assault Marine Sergeant in to take care of the problem.

Man, that is a way closer look at the man's biscuspids and philtrum than I would have chosen to see. But I can put some positive spin on this - its a perfect picture to lead into the results for last week's not at all shameful grab for filler content contest!  Which Lantz almost won.

We asked you to find the creepiest (painted - but we really don't care) miniature you could find on the web.  Here are the entries:
Skirmisher Publishing's Decapussywhipper - submitted by Dave Howitzer
Chaosgerbil's Predator - submiteed by Dave_G
The Easter Necron (from CMON) - submitted by Zheilt

Alex's Halloween Entry thing - submitted by Dethtron

Now, all of these are good and fit the contest perfectly, but they just don't hold a candle to this:

The horror... the horror
It's like its staring directly into my soul [shudder]...  Congrats, CounterFett.  You win!  So hit us up with your suggestion for next week's not at all shameful grab for filler content contest.

Until then, this week's contest is to pretend that you're the casting director for House of Paincakes: The Motion Picture and decide who would play the parts of the HoP staff (myself, Dethtron, Brent and Loquacious) with almost no knowledge of us personally.  For Bonus points, you can also suggest a director and a tag line.

  2. I'm very pleased to see my "Halloween Entry Thing" on here - or as the staff at the GW store holding the competition dubbed it "Late Night Zombie Investigation." Thanks Dethtron!

    Now, for the HOP: The Motion Picture

    Lauby - Adrian Brody
    Brent - Jesse Eisenberg
    Dethron - Mark Walberg
    Loquacious - Marion Cotillard

    A David Fincher film

  3. Man, for some reason Heavy Metal 2000 came immediately to mind.

    I suppose that makes:
    Lauby - Rick Jones as Zeek, the trusty ancient protector
    Brent - Billy Idol as Odin, the mysterious alien who has a Not Brent side
    Dethtron - Michael Ironside, the villain. (sorry)
    Loquacious - Julie Strain, the bad ass heroine.

    I suppose that means Dethron crossed one too many people and must be stopped by Loquacious, who meets Brent along the way, only to have Not Brent nearly defeat her before Lauby shows up with cake and everyone is happy. (Until they realize the cake is a lie... sequel?)

  4. Wait, I won? What am I supposed to do again?

  5. Dude...
    Lauby...Matt Damon from Bourne
    Brent...Not Brent, but with a goatee
    Dethron...Glen Danzig, whilst still a misfit
    Loquacious...Claudia Black from Farscape

    The plot: Lauby and Dethron are former enemies and blow up LA whilst trying to find a Nuke that Brent And Loq have stolen. Lauby and Deth eventually work out their differences using Apache Gunships and yet more explosions, before teaming up against the common threat of Brent and Loq. It turns out Loq used to be with Deth, but Lauby had a major thing for her, and it ruined the friendship between the three, poor Brent is just a puppet in it all. There is the inevitable last minute redemption as all four characters agree to detonate the bomb in the desert, so that the lessons are learned with minimal loss of life. Something contrived and stupid happens that means someone has to stay with the bomb,pointlessly sacrificing themselves to add a measure of pathos to an otherwise nonsensical film. It still makes more sense than the Horus Heresy series. :(
