The original

Most epic intro ever. When I was young my dad recorded just about every movie that came on tv, numbering and cataloging each tape. I really am proud of how geeky my dad is. Actually my grandmother did the same thing. She copied movies from a rental store and kept a database on her computer. I come from a long line of movie geeks 😉 But anyway, I must have seen that HBO intro hundreds of times as a kid. Really brings me back.

The songs are Who Was in My Room Last Night, Dust Devil, and Goofy’s Concern from the Butthole Surfers’ 1993 album Independent Worm Saloon. I remember getting really pumped up about Mortal Kombat 2 when these commercials came on back in 1994. MKII came out for the SNES on September 9 of that year, the day before my birthday. Hell yeah. There were a lot of great games out that year: Super Street Fighter II, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, NBA Jam…. Yeah, I didn’t get out much.

This video isn’t so much about a cat desperately pawing at a plastic desert tray lid hoping to score some yummy birthday cake as it is about life.

You will be missed.

From the A.V. Club

Underground comics icon and American Splendor creator Harvey Pekar was found dead early this morning, discovered by his wife Joyce in the Cleveland Heights home they shared. He was 70 years old. There’s no word yet on cause of death, although the police report notes that foul play and trauma did not play a part. Pekar, of course, documented his battle with lymphoma in 1994’s Our Cancer Year but has been disease-free since. Autopsy results are pending.
