More video contest (smile and cringe)

So we were sitting on the couch perusing Youtube, when we ran across the winning video for the Project Direct contest (the one where you win a trip to Sundance).





It’s a cute vid. Kinda funny and original, but I think we could have done better IMHO. So I’ve been kicking myself ever since, for not taking a couple of days and shooting the video. So now, we’ve decided to take a chance and do another contest… The Jim Beam contest




This contest is interesting. The rules are that you need to create a spoof of one of the three videos they’ve posted. But the three videos are weird. They’re just a bunch of hot girls talking to the camera about how much they love women and lazy guys etc. I realize the concept is supposed to be all about “The Perfect Girl” but its just kind of deadpanned and not funny.

And you can tell people are confused regarding the rules, because there are a LOT of the videos being uploaded to the site that have nothing to do with the three main videos. People are just doing their own thing! It’s pretty funny! But honestly it’s good for us, because the more people do the contest wrong, the better chances we have bwhahahaaaaaa!!!

I’ll keep you posted with our progress on the video. Wish us luck!

We're Baaaaccckkk!!!

Hello again,

My it has been a long time. Well, there's a really good explanation for the long reticence. We got attacked by a lion. No kidding. Right after Christmas, we were walking around, hopelessly lost in the Appalachian woods when we noticed the sound of a baby's cry coming from the bushes. Curious, we stepped gingerly into the the brush only to find a sneaky mountain lion laying in wait. He was wearing a tux and holding a small tape recorder from which the baby sound was emanating. "Gotcha!" he cried and jumped on us. We tussled for 2 days. He would scratch our necks- We would pull off one of his claws. He chipped a tooth-we'd poke his eyeball. The struggle was epic and magnanimous. But eventually the lion tired and we prevailed, by somehow being able grasp his jaw on both sides with our hands and pulling, until all at once the joyous sound of his mandibles cracking rang throughout the woods. We threw his lifeless carcass to the ground. Exhausted, we picked up his tape recorder and bowtie, and left the woods off to find my way home. We just got back.

So anyways as you can see we've been very busy and weren't ableto post blogs. But that time has ended and we can now safely say that we're back to blogging and will be more disciplined and robust than ever! We promise!

The Wrestler

So supposedly the new Mickey Rourke film "The Wrestler" is going to be his comeback vehicle. It's been getting rave reviews and a lot of hype, so we're excited to see how he does in this film. The plot is about an aging WWF wrestler long past prime and looking to find the lost limelight. Os something like that. With his overly tanned skin, bleached blond locks and buffed-out old man body he certainly looks the part. Hmmm….a story about an over-the-hill entertainer who suffers innumerous humiliations as he tries to struggle back to the top. Sounds like any other film out right now? That's right! JVCD..Jean Claude Van Damme's new "comeback vehicle" is out and kicking ass at theaters now. Although I admit, it'll be a little hard for ol'
Jean-Claude's movie to compete with any movie by the critic darling Darren Aronofsky. Whether "The Wrestler" turns out to be a great film or a burning pile of camel dung, Mickey Rourke's gotten a great amount of exposure and it's nice to see someone who's been screwed over by Hollywood get a break once in a while…

Here's an New York Times interview with Mickey Rourke, where he aggrandizes and over-embellishes pretty much through the whole thing
