In a land of mad scientists and diabolical inventions, what do you do when you’re born with a hunch on your back?

You become an Igor.

A hilarious twist on the classic monster movie, Igor tells the story of one Igor who’s sick of being a lowly lab assistant with a Yes Master’s degree and dreams of becoming a scientist. When his cruel master kicks the bucket a week before the annual Evil Science Fair, Igor finally gets his chance.

With the help of two of his experimental creations — Brain, a brain in a jar who’s a little light on brains, and Scamper, a cynical bunny brought back from being road kill, Igor embarks on building the most evil invention of all time, a huge, ferocious monster. Unfortunately, instead of turning out evil, the monster turns out as Eva, a giant aspiring actress who wouldn’t hurt a fly.

Just when the load on his back can’t get any heavier, Igor and his band of monstrous misfits uncover an evil plot that threatens their world. Now, they must fight to save it and prove that heroes come in all shapes and sizes.

Featuring the voice talents of John Cusack, Steve Buscemi, John Cleese, Jennifer Coolidge, Arsenio Hall, Sean Hayes, Eddie Izzard, Jay Leno, James Lipton, Molly Shannon and Christian Slater, Igor is the must-see family comedy of the fall.

The Legend of Neil’s Schedule Change

from The Legend of Neil:

I’ve just been informed by the higher ups at Atom.com and Comedy Central that we’re going to delay the release of the final episode of season one by 1 week. I know what you’re thinking, “hey I want to murder your face.” To which I say, first off, calm down it’s not THAT big of a deal and second off, you can’t really murder “my face”, it doesn’t make sense. Third off, you need to see a shrink about your rage issues.

The reason we’re doing this (and yes, I’ve given my willing consent) is that they want to make a big PR push for the last episode and we need the extra time to do so, also we’re working on a top secret thingamajig that hopefully we’ll be able to announce before the release of the last ep. So hang tight, you’re still getting episode 5 on time THIS THURSDAY, the 21st. Episode 6’s release is going to be September 4th!

In the meantime come visit me in LA at the effinfunny stand up show on August 27th. And be sure to catch up on all the episodes: one, two, three, four

Tampa Bay Rays Welcome “Sanctuary” at Tropicana Field

As a continuation of fun community events that they have been hosting this year, on August 30th the Tampa Bay Rays are welcoming Amanda Tapping, Damian Kindler and Robin Dunne of the new Sci Fi Channel series Sanctuary to Tropicana Field. Amanda, Damian and Robin will be signing autographs and meeting with fans from 2:00-3:00 PM. Anyone interested in meeting them can line up near the escalators at Gate 1 as soon as the front gates open at 1:50 PM. After the signing, Amanda, Damian and Robin will also be throwing out the first pitch of the game around 3:50 PM. After the game, the band We the Kings will be performing a concert, but first the Rays’ very own Rusty will be talking to Amanda, Damian and Robin about the upcoming season of Sanctuary.

Sanctuary was the first high definition science fiction series to be produced directly for the Web, and premiered at Sanctuaryforall.com in May of 2007. It was created by Damian Kindler, who is best known for his work on the long-running series Stargate SG-1, and he partnered with other Stargate alums, actress Amanda Tapping (Samantha Carter on Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate: The Ark of Truth, Stargate: Continuum) and director Martin Wood (Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate: Continuum), to bring his dream to life. Filmed entirely with live actors on a greenscreen set with RED digital HD cameras (think Sin City and 300), the show has virtual backgrounds so that any setting imaginable can be used. The original run of 8 wepisodes garnered so much attention, and so many awards, with its rich visual effects and compelling storytelling that it quickly caught the eye of studio executives and was picked up by Sci Fi Channel. The 2-hour pilot of Sanctuary will premiere on Sci Fi Channel on Friday, October 3, 2008 at 9:00 PM.

Tickets to the game can be purchased online at raysbaseball.com, by phone at 1-888-FAN-RAYS (1-888-326-7297) or at the Tropicana Field Box Office. Box office hours are 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturdays, and noon to 4:00 PM on Sundays. On game days, the box office opens at 9:00 AM and remains open until 30 minutes after the game. Tickets can also be purchased at the Rays Tampa Office located at Park Tower, 400 North Tampa Street, or at the International Plaza and Bay Street Ticketmaster in Tampa, Florida.
