Rube's Recommendations

Welcome to the Klopek's living room, as you can see, the wallpaper has been fixed since Mark was last here, the house is another story, but the wallpaper is indeed fixed. There are a bunch of 'burbs links, actually, any place on the net that said The 'burbs and refered to the movie, I listed here(not including store selling the movie etc.). Also, there are a bunch of links to some of my--err, Rube's favorite sites.

Hans Klopek's 'Burbs Site--the original 'burbs site, includes trivia, some sounds, character info, and general information; it is NOT the only 'burbs site on the web, but I will give them that it was the first and is the original

The 'Burbs Place--site includes a lot of original pictures divided into character sections and theme related pages

Elaine's 'BurbSite--includes wacky original 'burbs stuff, lots of great pictures, sounds

BURBS.COM--a great site with interesting topics, information on the deleted stuff in the movie, a chatroom, and other goodies

600 Mayfield Place--another very good site with some nice trivia questions, theories, character bios, and other goodies

You are entering...The 'burbs--this site has some pictures and a plot summary of the film

Another 'BURBS Site--this site is similar to the first 'burbs site, but I thought I should list it here

The 'BURBS Net--this site isn't really done yet, but here it is

TBS's Dinner & a Movie--go here for a great 'burbs recipe. Click here for some more recipes for your own 'burbs party!

Brother Theodore at Midnight--this is Brother Theodore's (Rube's) site. You can even e-mail him! He might not reply becase his health is not too good. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

The Unofficial Joe Dante Web Site--this is a great site dedicated to the great Joe Dante. Check out the cart, whew!

Good as Goldsmith--A Jerry Goldsmith ('burbs composer) site. Has great review of the soundtrack, soundtrack clip and some great pictures

Filmtracks--has a review of the 'burbs soundtrack and 3 clips

Soundtrack Real Audio Samples--site has a clip from the soundtrack and you can also find a review of it (hint: click on the name of the movie)

Tom and Sami's Jerry Goldsmith Film Work Demotage--whew! This site has a review of the score

Tiff's Movie Sound Archives--has audio clips from the movie as well as some other great movies

Corey Quotes--here are some audio clips from Ricky

Mike's Tom Hank's Page--here is a promo 'BURBS shot

Movies for Halloween--guess what? The 'BURBS is one

BURBS...what else?--I have no idea what this is supposed to be, so don't ask me...

The Internet Movie Database--has tons of information on the movie including cast and much more

E! Online--has some information on the movie similar to the IMDB

MovieFinder.com--has similar information to the IMDB or E! Online

*To see some reviews of The 'Burbs, click here!

Universal Studios--they funded and supported the movie so I feel it is my duty to give them credit.
Varese Sarabande--they allowed me to post MP3 files from the soundtrack so I think I should give them a link--they also have other great scores. Check out Gremlin's 2. It is by Goldsmith and is amazing!

Here is a link to the best current music group. I highly recommend their second release, Much Afraid (songs: Fade to Grey, Crazy Times, and Truce are excellent). They have also done work for several movie soundtracks including: Hard Rain, The Long Kiss Goodnight (great movie), and The Prince of Egypt.

Here is a link to the company that makes the best computer games. They made the best computer game series ever, the King's Quest series. Sorry, Miller-Time, Monkey Island from Lucas (F)Arts isn't--it just...isn't.* And here is a link to my very favorite site, Quest Studios. They extract midi's and MP3 files from Sierra games, and they have a lot of soundtracks from games Sierra has ignored and forgot about. Here is the best Gabriel Knight site on the net. I donated some music for the site so check them out here (they are the MP3's). *Actually, I recently bought a Monkey Island game and really got into the series, I feel I need to leave that up because King's Quest really is much better.

Here are some links to the best television show ever. Too bad its over. Oh, and Jeff--Jeff, King's Quest is to Monkey Island as Seinfeld is to the Simpsons and as the holy grail is to any toilet--or bedpan.**

**(Chris, that is also for you). Just kidding, the Simpsons is pretty good, so is Monkey Island--and so are toilets and bedpans. But toilets and bedpans don't come anywhere to competeing with the holy grail. So...Monkey Island and the Simpsons don't come anywhere close to competing with King's Quest and Seinfeld.
