Going Haywire at the Mitten
Last night’s special screening of my Halloween Redux episode of The Haywire Effect went better than I could have anticipated. Not only was the Best of the Mitten Movie Project 2011 review voted for in an overwhelming majority, but the episode also received votes as the best short (I expected to be screened out of competition, due to the nature of the poll).
There were hellacious bouts of laughter that seemed to stretch on forever and certain parts of the episode played better than I had any reason to expect them to. One gag in particular had the entire audience going for about 45 seconds straight to the point where the sound of the episode was drowned out by laughter. It was a phenomenally satisfying experience, and a perfect jumping off point for diving headfirst back into production on the show.
Expect the new episode to be posted tonight. Also, be ready for my review of Star Trek V, which should be ready within a month.
The Haywire Effect Returns… Finally
Look for the new recut version of my first episode on Wednesday!
Borders: Out of Business
It’s sad to think that a franchise this huge has risen and fallen in my lifetime. But my wallet thanks Amazon.com for putting them out of business.
When Ads Attack!
Advertising is one of those things that’s in our face so much that we all pretty much drown it out like the noise that most of it is. I don’t know too many people who sit in rapt attention during the half hour of nonstop product placement before every movie we watch in a theater. But when an ad is good, it’s good, and I love this one.
This, for me, marks the beginning of viral ads going mainstream if for no other reason than the fact that the Impact font used for “LOL Cats” is now being used to promote potato chips.
