That's...well, that's something subby.

Well, someone's life purpose was just fulfilled.

So, you know, they should kill theirself now.

 
nobozo 2008-04-02 03:01:34 AM  
Well, at least my parents didn't name me 'Paul Slocum'.

Those "actors" all sucked!

2nd'd .. and they need to suffer in the process.

So does that imply your father *can* tell you what to do? Hmmm..

 
Runkey 2008-04-02 06:04:27 AM  
It took 3 years to film like 6 different sets of actors in a 10 second scene? And all over the world? They seemed to all be American...

Maybe we need to accept that some 'art' is just bullshiat, no matter how long you spend trying to crap it out.

The way they all do the clenched fists thing at the end is awesome.

You can't tell him what to do. You're not his father.

Sorry.

The sound layering started to mesmerize me. Not as good as The Beaver Trilogy, but what is?

Kind of reminds me of this repurposing of a scene from To Kill a Mockingbird. Annoying at first but kinda brilliant when you think about it. I like kooky experimental films though, YMMV.

 
Ravie 2008-04-02 06:25:25 AM  
I don't think the words "actors" and "Craigslist" belong in the same sentence.

 
Neurochemist 2008-04-02 06:26:18 AM  
The full instructions the actors received. (new window)

Drugs baby. Lots of em.

I am a big fan of Rubin and Ed and have yet to watch TBT. Trent Harris actually sells DVDs of Rubin and Ed if you email him. (at least he did a year ago). I just emailed him about TBT, hopefully he sells that as well.

Only thing I remember about Full House is the incredibly hawt mom-chick. I used to drool over her like Alyssa Milano from the teens. Sadly, I don't even recall what her name was on the show.

Since I'm not White, I missed out on that whole bland family comedy thing - I was to busy drinking, having a lot of sex and not caring about TV, because someone was sucking me off or humping me while I held onto my bottle of beer.

Ah, the early 90's - good times.

Heh heres a interesting full house tid bit.....Alanis morrisettes famous tune was supposedly about her breakup with the guy from the show who did the cartoon voices...

What do you call art that bores the crap out of you at about the minute mark?

I am white, and trust me, you can have it both ways.

...has anyone stopped to consider what effect this might have on people who watch a scene re-enacted again and again by people from every walk of life while hypnotized into committing the idea behind the scene to memory with the help of trippy music?

Just food for thought. Gotta go, I need to go smack my overbearing uncle around for no apparent reason.

knielsen 2008-04-02 11:32:48 AM  
he didnt even pick a scene that was corny or half-retarded or anything, that was just a big waste of time. not creative, not funny, just stupid. i went into it really wanting to laugh and left just asking questions of what happens to people when they get rich; most likely they just go bat-shiat crazy.

 
Gravitholus 2008-04-02 11:33:09 AM  
Were they re-enacting Bob Saget's version of the Aristocrats?

 
siva 2008-04-02 11:34:20 AM  
This scene is beginning to consume me from the inside out. I feel I am no longer the man I used to be. Indefinable rage. I want to go to the karate tournament. fark YOU JOEY! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Great! I honestly loved this. Video poetry. This is what rap "music" thinks it is achieving.

Becky I think? And we must be the same age because I made the exact same transition from Milano to "the chick from Full House".
