- Well the first public test screening of Zack & Miri Make A Porno was held last night somewhere in Kansas City and from all accounts it was a great success! Kevin had some time after the screening to stop by The Board to give everyone a recap of what happened. Check out what he said right here…
Well… that went great.
Kansas City was very good to us tonight. Great score in the top two boxes (”Excellent” and “Very Good”), great “Definite Recommend” score (way above the “norm” score), laughter from end-to-end. Oddly, not a single person rated the movie “Poor” (out of the choices Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor); odd because we usually get at least one or two Poor votes. Not this time. Only two “Fair”, too. The rest were Excellent, Very Good, and Good (with the biggest number being “Excellent”).
Now having watched the flick with an audience, I found some time I wanna take out. Not whole scenes, mind you; just trims within scenes. I can probably get another five to ten minutes out of the flick without hurting the story or anybody’s performance.
*sigh* (of relief)
And we can’t forget to mention the SPOLIER HEAVY, VERY POSITIVE review that showed up on Ain’t It Cool News this morning. We would suggest skipping that review if you want a pure experience with the film this October. - The CW has officially announced that Reaper will indeed return next year. For a mid-season 13 episode run. While not as good as a full season, this allows the thrilling new mythlogy to continue on, as the show has begun to build its own world and continuity. This also opens the door to the chance of seeing Kevin back for another possible writing or directinggig with the show next season.
Congrats to all involved - We can’t wait for the adventures of Sam, Sock, the lovely Andi and that pesky Satan to continue. Reaper is currently finishing up its first season on the CW network.
- SModcast returns with the gift of a new episode to take the sting off a new work week, as Kevin and Scott once again rock the mic for another hour of entertainment:
SModcast 49: Attack of the Banantulas -
In which our heroes cock an eye at a prairie legend, fret over eight legged stalkers, fear a Swedish Holocaust, and take issue with the plausibility of singing underwater.
As always the free MP3 based podcast is available for exclusive download at Quick Stop Entertainment — soon to also be the exclusive home to the first Zack and Miri trailer — so you may as well get those bookmarks ready.

10:08a | A-- You know in chess, when you reach to move a piece and your opponent says, “you cannot move that piece”? Well, I feel like that piece. People here are nice, but they don’t listen. You ask for water, they give you champagne. How nice of them, but you’re still thirsty. I guess that’s kind of what it has all amounted to thus far. Thank God my roommate is transferring schools. I’m off to play another game of chess with my priest. --E. | ||||||||||||||||||

| mundanetoday | 2:51a | I'm not sure what God's telling me When the day I officially and completely break up with my boyfriend, I hang out with an ex-almost-boyfriend just to hang out, and there is a massive hail storm and thunderstorm (was there actually a tornado? I don't know, but I thought maybe so it was crazy) and all the electricity goes out and we end up playing xylophone/keymonica alone together by candlelight. "so do you want to do something?" "... uh, like what?" | ||||||||||||||||||

6:49p | Versions Although I don't think it has as much power as the album version, the studio version of One Hundred Years (on the bonus disc) has a really great guitar solo at the end. I was just listening to it and decided I like it a lot...it's really intensely expressive. I also love the Flexipop version of "Lament" from Join the Dots. What non-album versions do you guys like? | ||||||||||||||||||

1:35p | So there is this tiny door which serves as entrance to a very tiny shed that is affixed to the anterior of our house. All year long this has been a useless space, as it is for the physical plant gremlins who troll the area claiming to make "improvements" on our living spaces, but by and large failing to accomplish what they claim to have accomplished (see also: our busted heating system, all year long). But THIS morning, with a thunderous 8 am bang and some thuds and sundry bumpings, apparently it was opened and accessed. I bolted up in bed, clutched Gian's chest so as to better grip his heart muscle, rattled him awake and said tersely, There is somebody in our house. I believe his approximate response was: Mrrh, grhghgh, mbbrt, whu? which I decoded (I believe successfully) to mean "Good morning, my dulcet darling, your sweet birdsong has jostled me awake and I am honored to serve you however I may best be of use." I bravely pulled the covers up over my nose and said, also tersely, Will you go down and check. I can only assume that my fear smells like bacon, as nothing but imminent death and slices of pig rump can jostle the man out of bed before nine - but he smelled my bacon fear and popped out of bed in his undies and went downstairs. It was very quiet for a while, and then too quiet, and then it was taking too long. I assumed I had sent him down to his burglar-induced demise and almost panicked, but then heard footsteps on the stairs which I recognized as his, and he came in and said, "It's guys in the shed," and (manly duty fulfilled) passed out face first on the futon. Anyway, it's sort of distracting and aggravating to be alone on campus this late, in that now the guys are going in and out and periodically sawing the walls (?! sounds like it, anyway) in there, except that it sounds like they're actually in my house instead of in a tiny attachment to my house and I keep interrupting myself mid-important-duty (see also: mid-move in Rocket Mania) and thinking I'm being invaded and will soon be moidured. _____ Edit: Goddamned gremlins cursed me! As soon as I finished writing this, I went to raise the shades and the whole bloody apparatus fell out of the window! Current Mood: geh | ||||||||||||||||||

9:51a | Observations Aww My fuckin' lamp burnt out. Now I'm working in the dark. The weather just turned to rain. Canceled insurance. Picked up a fish's head from the aquarium floor. I chased V away with bitch forks and harried, fuzzy hair. I'm losing my hair. It's everywhere. I pick a glob up in the shower every day. I found a blood trail: one for V, one for me. The espresso smells like pennies lately. The grind and the blend are off. Barometric pressure is going crazy. It's warmer on the cold days than the hot. Something's going on. | ||||||||||||||||||

1:04p | I'm starting to see more evidence of people I know being denied money for school. Mom said it would start happening as early as this fall, and she was (of course) correct. (It is her job to be correct on this issue, and many higher ed issues) In a related story, Barring major policy shifts, we are both of the belief that Hampshire College will not exist within ten years.

10:46p | Sorry, did not post link http://indiemusic.suite101.com/article.c Tom Waits Announces Summer TourWaits' Label Anti-Records Confirms Plans for a 2008 Concert Tour Eccentric singer-songwriter Tom Waits announced plans for a 2008 summer tour via a fake news conference video posted on his Web site.Singer-songwriter Tom Waits announced his upcoming “Glitter and Doom” summer tour at a press conference Monday May 5th. At least that’s what he would have you think. In a video posted to his Web site, Waits expounded on details of the tour. The video begins with Waits seated in front of a large microphone—the noise of a crowded room can be heard, cameras flash and click; people can be heard asking questions. Waits Never Fails to Confound and AmuseHowever, although the tour appears to be the real thing, the conference was a farce. Waits cracks jokes with the supposed audience and provides details on the tour in his typical eccentric manner. Then we hear someone ask “Are you coming”? To which Waits responds, “No, actually I’m going.” He stands up and lifts the needle from a record player next to him, bringing the room to silence. The camera pans away to show a small room with nothing but empty seats. Don’t worry, though; according to his label ANTI- (a division of Epitaph), the tour is indeed happening. Leave it to Waits to confound and entertain all at once. In the video, Waits explains that the dates for the tour were based on the pattern of the constellation Hydra. “When we’re all lost, what do we do? We all look up to the night sky. Indulge me.” Waits then pulls down a chart displaying an outline of the United States superimposed by an outline of Hydra. The cities for each tour are all listed on the chart, with the first letter of each forming an acronym: PEHDTSKJMBA; Waits elucidates that the acronym has an additional meaning: “People Envy Happiness; Dogs Though Sense Courage, Knowing Jubilation Means Better Ass…sets.” He then vocalizes the acronym phonetically several times (ped-ska-jumba), along with the crowd that isn’t there. European Tour?He also mentions the possibility of a European tour based on the constellation Eradmus, “…known for its widely veering path that will be controlling and dictating our route from Spain to Dublin." Although dates for the European tour haven’t yet been set, the route for the US tour has been confirmed and can be viewed here. | ||||||||||||||||||

| mundanetoday | 12:20a | significance Today I had the opportunity to meet Jeff Tweedy, and I made the decision not to. Today a boy left a note for one of my co-workers with his number in it. He told me that, if I wanted to, I could use the number and not tell the Kacy. He was sweet and intelligent and cute, and I left the note for her. She has a boyfriend, but it's the kind of moment she dreams for. Today I broke up with Kerby, I think. It was painful and awkward but it's the best I've done yet. I'm learning. I feel old. | ||||||||||||||||||
