Not even if we want to go to it? :(

'eck, I don't even get status updates in a side-bar, since I switched to mostly browsing on me phone. Only reason I knew they still existed was digging through various activity feeds I have long neglected and having an "a-ha" (duh) moment!

Anything is possible, but much has been done recently with the character,with mixed reception, from an animated spokesperson, to parodies, to more recently an attempt at earnestness again. That's for the US market. There's was this Japanese comic series, starring a young Sanders as a kind of "Chicken Savior", with love interests. Wonder if the ad, err, mini feature, gets some of its inspiration from that, but in a heavily-toned-down form.

It's only about 15 minutes long or so, about the same length as the old Hallmark Greeting card ads they used to run in the 80s, that successfully turned my heart to goo and made me want to run out and get a card. That's where they got their start as an entertainment company.  Of course, chicken inspires very different emotions.

It is War Games. Much of the sound-track consists of screen-specific incidental music, but there is this theme that plays over the closing-credits (I guess one might refer to it as the love theme. )and has a few reprises in the sound-track.  Anyways, it's not one I'd typically seek out, but I had a version of it playing in the back-ground and it had a couple variants of the theme, with a sparser, more electronic synth sound, with overlayed voices, playing at the end. It was a bit of a pleasant surprise.

OK, a hint. One of the main cast-members of this film, is best-known for playing hooky in another film.  

There was a version for the 3DO. Different HUD, but if you ever wanted to see the video in somewhat (debatable - less noisy, but lower contrast, so some details are lost, others retained better) better quality, there you go.

I mean, I kind of understand. If I saw one of those costumed mascot characters up close when I was 5-years-old, I might have wet myself, but they didn't have to wreck the nostalgia of ice-cream treats for everyone, did they?

That explains the over-sized box with a couple of inflated pillows.

Spitting Image?

I think part of it is, is that they are usually shown open-frame, which, for Plan 9 at least, wasn't his intent. He wanted that one shown in wide-screen, with fair cropping on the top and bottom, probably with his notes to the specifics, now lost. So, yes, some of the duff set-pieces and technical faults, often opined about, might have been cropped out, making it just a little more believable. The performances are often frighteningly competent, given how few takes were actually done. There must have been some rehearsal..

We need a happy set of COFFEE mug, T-Shirt and Tote Bag, so we can hold pledge-runs, PBS style.

We have a Secret Club, Hand-shake, uh yeah and everything!

It feels like it's going to be a Yellow Bulldozer kind of day.

The arcade version, is one serious-looking box. Probably wind-up in the "evidence yard" , later to be auvtioned off, unless someone, inside, claims dibs, if you know what I mean.

Rather liked the transitional period, where he took over as front-man. He lent a humbleness to the progressive-rock sympathies, which I loved. Loved Peter's creativity, but if you've ever seen concert footage from that period - goodness, it is so very over-the-top.

That is quite funny my fellow Earthlings. I too like to joke about such things.

Yes, search and news aggregators.

Over Macho Grande?

Yeah, that is weird. What the hell is goofy?
