So, as part of a new project Shane came up with, I made a song for the fictional town of Riopelle, the place that our currently-unfinished children's book series takes place. It's an old Civil War fort in the hills of Tennessee, owned by a bunch of writers and artists who live and work there. It's like a commune. Anyway they have a bunch of kids ( Read more... )

Loverly.

I'm not sure how many of you loved Freakazoid!, but I did, and now it's online, for free, legally. Go HERE to watch.

We didn't make the final 20 in the FX contest. But 20 low-brow fratboy short films did. And almost zero of them are pitches for shows. Most of them are obviously trimmed versions of longer short films, with concepts that couldn't work episodically. And zero of them are funny. Honestly. This isn't a sour grapes situation. It's just a matter of ( Read more... )

I cannot bless Shane's & Katz's souls enough. I don't even bless things. But still, I bless them.

We are, for sure, going ahead with the scripting & filming of a series of short films about the fabulous Countess Barbra Debby and her close friend, Folk Hero Crispy Waters. Details to come soon. Kitties are ( Read more... )

So, be sure to stay skeptical, critical, and analytical, kids. Sometimes, you'll catch things. Important things. I refused to take my Taco Bell Large Diet Pepsi cup at face value, and discovered a footnote to the claim that I could "become El Presidente of Taco Bell" in a new contest. That footnote? "El Presidente assumes no official duties." But I ( Read more... )

Hate him. He's the Fratty mcFratson Duder who made Cabin Fever and Hostel. If you have iTunes, find the podcast "KCRW's The Treatment" with Elvis Mitchell, and download the most recent one. It's an interview with Eli Roth. Also, if you're following my instructions, you need to watch Hostel. It's really, really, misguided/misogynist/homophobic/ ( Read more... )

This is funny. Here's the DVD cover for the movie Transamerica, which I didn't see, and might see, but it looks too sitcom-obvious-humory for my tastes:
