I have a request

An open letter to:

http://www.splendidthingsimprov.com/

I realize that you guys are busy putting your show together, but it would make me the happiest fan of Splendid Things if you could incorporate more frowny black and white pictures into your press materials.  I get no greater pleasure than imagining what your show will be like when I let myself drift into the distant gazes of some of your current photographs, but if you could add even more I think that my journey into the sad place where unsmiling clowns sip from tiny teacups would be complete and I would be ready to delve into your show.

Also, less babydoll heads, that shit is creepy.

Yours,
Victor Varnado
.A big "fan".

Racist Plotlines

I know I complained about the blackface on Mad Men last week or so.  Well this week there was a plotline where Pete Campbell figures out that a line of televisions were selling very well to Negroes and decides to question the elevator attendant, who is white-JUST KIDDING HE IS BLACK,  and ask him what kind of TV's he and his friends buy.  At one point Pete looks him in the face and asks, "Do you think I'm a bigot?"  PLEASE HAVE THESE RACIST PLOTLINES ADD UP TO SOMETHING IN THE END.

 

Yesterday I watched Sons of Anarchy, you know the show about a motorcyclye gang?  The protagonists are bikers, who are pretty racist whenever they encounter black  people in the show, but to balance is out, this season they have brought in Henry Rollins t play the bad guy, who is a white supremist.  Protagonist racism multiplied by antagonists really racism equals me pouting on my couch.

 

It’s not like these shows are the only shows out there.  I know not all of TV is having racist plotlines this season, but damn! did I ever get short end of the stick on my DVR picks.

 

ROBOTO SUPREMO need your help

Hey guys. Remember that giant robot short film tht I began working on about a year ago? Let me remind you.



www.robotosupremo.com

Anyways, during the time that I finished it and now I finished a whole other movie (www.awkwardkings.com( and managed to sell that one to Comedy central. Which is awesome.... buuuuut...

I need to finish Roboto Supremo and am in need of some help.

VFX - I am looking for someone with knowledge of visual effects composting and perhaps Apple Motion of after effects. Especially someone who likes lasers, robots and giant, monster effects.

COMPOSER - We had a wonderful composer that had to move and start working on a different project while this film was in hiatus. We would love to have someone new who is inspired by what you see here.

Anyhow, pass this along to anyone you know that might be interested and thanks for reading.

The Waffle Song (Hip Hop Challenge #2)

Abou six weeks ago I, and a friend let an audience name the rap song that we would both make different versions of and then perform at a show. The only rule was that they had to have the same title and we couldn't see each others work before we performed.

Here's "Bitch, make Me Waffles."

The Hip Hop Challenge

Tomorrow is the day.

My friend Dianne and I made a bet that the two of us wouldn't make
original hip hop songs and the. Go perform at a serious hip hop open mic

Well we both made songs and we perform them tomorrow (Tuesday) night.

Here's to not getting shot when I perform my song " I'm the best at
everything. "

And I hope Dianne survives performing " shake it like a baby. "

There will be videos posted

No thanks Tanzania

I don't want to go to Tanzania.

Some of the less educated locals are hunting people with albinism and cutting off their legs to for their magical powers. It 's not bad enough that I had to deal with fear and presjudice growing up as an albino. now you want to take my magic powers too?! I need that, man.

Dear Madonna

I know that your second Malwai child adoption was thwarted, sorry.  Do you think it might be because your first child (pictured here) that you adopted's only toy is a crazy looking stick?  Give your kid a real toy.  Just cause he was born in the third world doesn't mean he's partial to sticks!

Super Lover

So, last night I went to a hip hop showcase /  contest thing and I started talking to some of the younger  "MCs" about older rap songs.  Bear in mind that the mean age was like 22.  Point is, that none of them had ever heard of Super Lover Cee and Casanova Rudd, more specifically their song Girls, I got Em Locked.

 

I don't owant anyone else to have that missing from ther hip hop vocabulary.

 

So… Enjoy.
