Crispin Freeman Announces 'Durarara!!' - A New Show on Adult Swim

Crispin Freeman is an incredible voice talent, and if you've watched an animated series, anime, or played a video game in the last ten years, then there's a really good chance you've heard some of his work.
In this video he has the honor of announcing a new show on Adult Swim, and I'm really looking forward to checking it out!
Enter 'DURARARA!!'



Also, Crispin is an impressively accomplished media scholar, and will be teaching a sci-fi and fantasy  mythology class at the Vidiots Annex  in Los Angeles starting June 22, 2011. For those of you who get into a little film study style analysis, it should be a fantastic course.

Stephen Colbert feuding with Venture Bros?

This would make me really sad if it were true, so I'm hoping this is just a bunch of fan bois taking things out of context and blowing them out of proportion.

Pop Candy has the scoop on this potential Adult Swim scandal (I'll call it "Venture Gate").

Stephen Colbert is receiving a lot of love today since his Comedy Central show returns tonight. But some folks who may not be sending good vibes his way are those involved with Adult Swim's The Venture Bros.

Then Quoted from the Jackson Publick Blog:

One sour note from the past month (aside from my car getting hit yet again) is that Mr. Stephen Colbert has decided not to reprise his role as Professor Impossible this season, for reasons which probably have something to do with him being all super-famous, super-busy, and no longer in need of a few hundred bucks here and there. We figured this would happen eventually, considering his monumental success in the years since our first season, but we held out hope that the WGA strike would leave him with enough bored free time on his hands that he'd have a go at it. But after getting shuffled around from his assistant to his assistant's assistant to his agent to his manager, one of them finally shot us an email saying: "Stephen has neither the time nor the interest in participating in your project."

Was the "nor the interest" really necessary? I would have bought the "time" part without question, but man...you gotta kick a guy when he's down like that? Well maybe I'm not interested in your ice cream, mister! Or your book. Unless someone buys it for me for Christmas.

Here's PopCandy's write up.

Here's Publick Nuisance.


I wonder what Warburton has to say about this...
