Buckle in, kids. Because we’ve got a lot of clicking to do!

It’s a brand new month and that means all the vote stats over at Top Web Comics has reset. Do your part and VOTE FOR THEATER HOPPER EVERY DAY! Right now we’re at number 22 on the list, but I’m sure we can crack the Top 10 by the end of the day with your help!

With that out of the way, I want to draw your attention to TWO new sponsers that I want you to check out.

The first is Digital Entertainment News. This is a great site chock FULL of news, reviews and information regarding all of the latest home console and PC video games. Digital Entertainment News has one of the best and most professional looking site-designs of any game review site out there. Articles are easy to find and extremely well written. And don’t forget about the contests! Check them out now!

Our second sponsor is Twisted Kaiju Theater – a web comic of an entirely different breed. Using tiny Godzilla and Monster Island-related figurines, Twisted Kaiju Theater has produced over 400 comics of Japanese-flavored wackiness. It’s hard to explain. You’ll just have to experience it for yourself!

If you could check out both of our sponsors, I would really appreciate it. These sponsorships help to keep Theater Hopper going and I would like to return the favor to anyone who has faith enough to advertise with us. It means a lot.

Thanks again to everyone for their support. Things just keep getting better and better!

JARED BURSTS INTO TEARS

::Tear rolls down cheek::

Tom, did you happen to see what I gave Cami for her birthday?

Apparently I’m an 8 year old, though the money thing is true.

ahhh

::sucks it up::

Anyway, I saw Freddy vs Jason on Friday. I found it good for a laugh. Though it was gory, I didn’t find it scary. There is a kid in it that wants to be Silent Bob’s friend sooooo bad.

I’d like to give a shout out to my friend Pete, the $60 man. He’s getting married this weekend and it should be a blast.

AW, JEEZE – HERE COME THE WATER WORKS

For the record, I did not know that you had included an offer in Cami’s birthday card for a movie until just this evening – a whole DAY after I finished the comic.

Of course, that’s pretty lousy timing and I feel like an ass.

We would gladly have you spend your money on us anytime and thank you profusely afterwords.

Thanks, good buddy. 🙂

VOTE AND ADVERTISE!

August 27th, 2003 | by Tom
Posted In: Blog

I just wanted to point out that we’ve fallen off the Top Ten at Top Web Comics. So this is just a little reminder to get everyone in gear and VOTE EVERY DAY!!!

Although, if I’m going to fall off the list, I don’t have a problem losing out to Instant Classic, I was getting so used to seeing our banner there…

The other bit of site news is that I am now selling advertising space (click on the link for more information). So if you have a site you would like to promote, please keep Theater Hopper in mind as an advertising option. More spots will probably become available on the left and right hand sides of the comic in the near future. So, look out for that, too.

I know there was some talk in the past about me redesigning the site, but that looks less likely now. Every layout I came up with just looked weird. Especially since I didn’t want to lose the curtains.

So what I’ll probably end up doing is ditching the links on the sides and replace those with advertising. Any specialty site news like merchandise or reviews will be placed directly below the comic but before the blog in a handy rotating banner set up. I’ll probably expand the width of the blog space as well so you won’t have to scroll so far to read it.

These are just minor touch-ups. But I thought you would like to be aware of them.

PULSION

Last night I watched Repulsion, a Roman Polanski film about a young girl who cracks up. She is a virgin who is intrigued by men but also utterly repulsed by them. I planned to watch this in two parts, but was unable to stop watching after I began. This strange movie is worth a gander.

LET ME AIR IT OUT FOR YA

August 20th, 2003 | by Jared
Posted In: Blog

I thought today’s strip was especially well done. Let’s give a hand to Tom for his increasingly detailed art.

:: drops severed hand into envelope ::

Last week, I watched Pootie Tang and Johnny Suede. The former was an okay Chris Rock movie and the later was an odd Brad Pitt flick. I liked Johnny Suede more after my wife explained the ending to me. I don’t know if I’d recommend it, but if you take a peek, you can catch Sam Jackson as a bass player.

“What are you guys doing after the show? Nothing? Okay.”

This week I have watched Following and White Heat. Following is a film by the makers of Memento. I really liked it. White Heat is also a winner. James Cagney rules!

MASCARA REID

This is my prediction for Sunday night. Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, and Tom Brokaw will interrupt our scheduled programs to tell us, “Millions of Americans found themselves Punk’d this weekend after shelling out 8 bucks to see My Boss’ Daughter. Ashton Kutcher and Frankie Muniz plan on using the proceeds for a weekend getaway.”

CHRIS TUCKER WILL WIN

August 13th, 2003 | by Jared
Posted In: Blog

I grew up on Elm Street, literally. That’s why I didn’t watch the series until just a few years ago. I once had to drag my brothers out of the neighbor’s house because they were watching Freddy’s fourth installment. I knew they would have nightmares, so I made them go home. Well, they had nightmares anyway and I still got in trouble. Stupid fire urinating hound from hell.

I have now watched the entire series of A Nightmare on Elm Street, but only really like the first and last installments. I can’t decide who I want to win. Probably Freddy since I haven’t bothered to watch much of Jason. I have only seen the first Friday the 13th movie.

Who do you think will win? Let us know in the forums. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to join you there quite yet. For that, I would like to thank the MSblast worm. Yeah, thanks for messing up my computer. Hopefully Jason and Freddy will get you and your beloved San.

A shout out is needed to my long lost friend Tanner. He has regained contact with me due to this web site. I knew semi-fame was good for something!

WEDDING BELLS

August 12th, 2003 | by Jared
Posted In: Blog

I have been delaying a major blog. I have watched several movies and have had various other real life experiences I feel compelled to mention, but those things will have to wait. I need to cover a few basics first.

Congratulations are in order.

I’d like to give a shout out to my friend Eric, for becoming engaged to his girl Stacey. Eric is an Officer in the Navy and lives in New York. Eric apparently could not resist the marriage bug after hanging out with me and my wife* for a short time. *(This probably had nothing to do with it.)

Apparently, there is an outbreak, because…

I just found out that my friend Mark also needs a word up for becoming engaged to his girl Erin. This is contingent on Mark surviving a hiking trip this fall. I have been on two hiking trips with Mark and am certain that Mark will survive much better with Erin around.

Word up to all of you! Now you will be happily married like me!

(suckers.)
