I, for one, applaud the combination of the words "abacus stew"
him:
it is a good combo

Sir Farthingtonshirebottomwick, this episode of Legume Fate Action Theatre has fallen short of expectations, lie sideways on these gastropods and await further instructions
him:
Dear Hawaiian Punch Guy, Your script was excellent. I never expected much out of you because you just punch people, but you can really really write. Please submit this to Doris Day's corpse or Mary Tyler Moore and make sure you put on a smile. You have a long ride ahead, wear pillows.
me:
hahahahaha
him:

him:
colonel sanders arrives in a doorless car, he spits on you as he steps out. you realize he has no lower torso so you raise your hand. colonel sanders calls on you,
you ask him 'mr sanders welcome back from uranus. what new flavors did you find?'
colonel sanders 'I have seen things no man should see. you sent me off to find new flavors but instead i have discovered alien horrors the likes of which cannot be explained.'
it slowly starts raining popcorn chicken and sad music plays. the popcorn chicken becomes a storm
kfc: flavors from uranus
me:
"epic, greasy, sass-filled adventure" raves Gene Shalit
him:
why can't they just give us a job at cartoon network
me:
they could
we could do that
him:
as writers
of the most random crap ever
me:
it'd be better than some of the stuff they're airing right now
at least
him:
yeah totally
as long as there are stoners we would always have work
me:
WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE WORK
I went to college
him:
as long as there is syrup in my bottle
me:
they taught us that
"let's not fight"
camera pans away, syrup sprays everywhere

Note: The last part of this conversation references a script that Greg & I have been writing as an ongoing project. We might end up posting it here some day... when we feel it's finished enough to share.

Sam Raimi - Drag Me To Hell

Another Comic-Con recommendation:
3:45-5:15, Hall H
Universal Pictures presents key cast members, filmmakers, and previously unseen footage from its upcoming slate, including Summer 2008's The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Death Race. Additionally, the studio will showcase talent and materials from 2009 films such as Land of the Lost and Drag Me to Hell.



This recommendation is almost entirely due to Sam Raimi's return to his signature style of horror twisted with a bit of comedy with his new movie, Drag Me To Hell. Raimi is supposed to be there to screen footage from the movie. I can't tell you whether or not I worked on what he's going to show.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog

Starring Neil Patrick Harris

If you're a fan of Joss Whedon, The NPH, musicals, or all three, then check it out.

WATCH IT HERE



UPDATE: For those of us going to the San Diego Comic-Con, there will be a Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog panel on FRIDAY. Here is the info--

FRIDAY, JULY 25
10:45-12:00 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog— The story of a low-rent supervillain (Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible), the hero who keeps beating him up (Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer), and the cute girl from the laundromat he's too shy to talk to (Felicia Day as Penny). This musical in three parts, created for the Internet and written by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, Zack Whedon, and Maurissa Tancharoen, premieres in its entirety on the big screen at Comic-Con. Room 6B

or if you just want to get up on the Joss Whedon you can go to his own panel 1:30-2:30 in Ballroom 20.

"In Radiohead's new video for "House of Cards", no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data."

Whatever, it looks cool.



Also, you can view and manipulate the data imaging sets on Google
