edit to add I have a feeling I have the wrong and of a stick here lol do you mean pop as in music or pop as in Popular? what ever I still love those songs :P
i had never seen lord of the rings... ok, i know... but there are some scenes in there that totally reminded me of glitch, to the point if i wondered if the devs were inspired by them. i only saw part of it- but when all the birds came swooping in, it seemed like the rook, and then there was part that was totally firebogs-esqu. don't ask me which lotr it was, i have no idea. my boyfriend flips channels.
@greenkozi - Never watched Lord of the Rings? Poor girl. The extended version is AMAZING if you can find it. They do take a few liberties that I wasn't pleased with from the original text I wasn't very pleased with because they left out vital information about what happened near the end. So watch the movies THEN read the books so they annoyance factor doesn't detract from your enjoyment of the movie.
Finally, someone said Monty Python...to me the egg plants are quite Monty Python-like (as are the Bubble trees)...and yes, that place to collect coins has the a Monty Python foot but drawn more in the style of Peter Max.
yay lexi, i totally see the monty python! i'm gonna have to read the magic kingdom book i guess - i assume it's about applying video game incentives to real life?
OhmyGiants!!!! I just watched "The Internet" from the IT Crowd. It was so funny!! Loved it. Meanwhile, I totally agree with whomever noted that the Rock looks like a character from The IT Crowd. Wish I could find that thread again...
Something else I've noticed is that the street spirits have an uncanny resemblance to the Canadians in South Park... Maybe I'm the only one who sees it??
So after Wes Borland decided he'd had enough of Limp Bizkit, he and some friends (including his brother) started a band that was somewhere between Obituary and Ween. The one album their record label coughed up the dough to produce is called Duke Lion Fights the Terror and it is hilarious.
But everything about it, the original art done by Wes, the lyrics, the silly voices he modulated, will remind you of Glitch. The album is 10 years old now but it totally holds up because it's just so weird.
