So because I'm a huge dork, naturally I looked to Venture Bros for inspiration...  ...and used the wallpaper pattern from the compound bathroom and turned it into a shower curtain. If anyone wants to get it, it's available to purchase here.

for what i assume is the small number of Venture fans who don't know, you should go check out Thirwell's Steroid Maximus project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgoN0jAk5aw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPd7ly9pNoI

picking through the series for the millionth time and one candidate for best line delivery is in the s2 premiere. makes me laugh every time "Yes, pilgrim! I, in life, was a personal guard to the great Caesar -" "Nuh uh, liar! You choked on a popsicle stick at a Halloween party!" "Oh, tell everyone, why don't you..." "Everybody knows. Why you think you're in hell? 'Cause you're a fuckin' liar!"

After 15 years of badgering, my friend who loves oldschool pulp adventure has finally caved and started watching Venture Bros. I am pleased to report that he enjoys it. I have also caveated that the show evolves quite a lot, and he has taken note.

This has been my wife and I over the past summer. Thankfully the jump to HD is a game-changer. It's been jarring to go back and watch those first 2 seasons after a long time. I ended up skipping Dia de Los Dangerous and The Incredible Mr. Brisby until later on, and we started with Ghosts of the Sargasso just to get things started on the right foot. In retrospect I think I'd still just skip those again if I was going solo. Additional Monarch characterization and the introduction of Molotov aren't really that impactful later on.

So I just finished rewatching all 7 seasons on HBOmax, has anyone else watched it and the sound mixing is bad? Feels like all the music is much louder than the dialog.

I didn't realize that they finally made it to HBO Max. Sound seems fine to me from some sampling, but I think you missed something really important. The early seasons were either rescanned or shoved though A REALLY good upscaling engine because they are leaps and bounds better looking than the DVDs.

4:30 in the morning and i'm comparing the establishing shots of one impossible industries (where dean would later intern in season 4) to the shots of the ventech building from seasons 6 and 7. they say in 20 minutes to midnight that it's the same building but it looks completely different! are we to believe that this is some sort of magic skyscraper that changes form based on who owns it? I hope someone was fired for this blunder... oh wait i guess they were, poo poo

It’s built on the same spot. The building burned down at the end of dean’s internship.

I’ve also assumed that was how Pr.o.b.l.e.m. was able to tap into all of the buildings systems. I’m not sure if JJ knew what it was and hooked it up the building on purpose or just what. I would think if he knew it wouldn’t be in the lobby.

P.R.O.B.L.E.M. just had to spearphish Sgt. Hatred using an email purportedly from Princess Tinyfeet, which gave P.R.O.B.L.E.M. access to his corporate phone (and password manager, and MFA one-time authorization app). Then because J.J. cheaped out and didn't buy enough firewalls to do adequate network segmentation between building IOT systems and the corporate enterprise network, the threat actor was able to move laterally via devices like desk phones and printers to compromise the building lighting and HVAC system. At least, that's how it normally works in the real world.

I suppose it’s odd that JJ went through the effort of excavating PROBLEM from another continent, transported it all the way to his fancy HQ’s lobby but never bothered to crack it open and look inside. Or did JJ know what was inside?

Or did JJ know what was inside? JJ may have had the most common sense of all the super-scientists, but he's still a super-scientist, and one that wasn't really being kept in the loop by the OSI or old Team Venture. Also seems clear that JJ had the building rebuilt to his liking after purchasing it- iirc, the whole design seems a compromise between the classic jet age style of the Venture compound and the modern business style. (Who knows whether the OSI secret floor existed before then, but knowing them, probably. I imagine they've been keeping Professor Impossible as useless in the large scale as a Reed Richards riff is meant to be) Actually, considering the nature of the job, your lair/lab/home getting burned down and rebuilt in the latest style (or purchased and rebuilt by someone who can still afford it) is probably a pretty regular occurrence. Hell, we see it multiple times with the Monarch, and it's literally Guild policy that if you successfully invade and conquer a base, it's all yours. (see also Spider-Skull Island, and Phantom Limb's mansion)

I don't think Impossible plaza and the Venture building are supposed to be in the same location since the Venture building is clearly on Columbus Circle and Impossible plaza looks like midtown or at least is on a straight street. They don't really get New York geography wrong.

VenTech Tower, One Impossible Plaza, Venture Industries World Headquarters, and Venture Millinery & Automata are all on the same property. That's why the ghosts from the Great Venture Millinery Fire of 1907 haunt VenTech Tower. All the same building.

*pushes up glasses* In 20 years to Midnight, One Impossible Plaza is on 5th Ave (says so on the subway station they drop into near the end). So either it's a different building (Columbus Circle is 8th Ave) or they moved it.
