DEAD BEAUTIFUL: from Jack & Erik (Texture)

A Jack of both sides is before long, trusted by nobody, and abused by both parties. - Old Proverb

If Jack's in love he is no judge of Jill's beauty. - Ben Franklin

I'm not Jack Nicholson. I'm not Brando. But I do mumble. - Benicio Del Toro
 
Wow, I was sure that batman was going to bust through my monitor. What was your production budget?

Too bad this film not for voting...

What "dead beatutiful" dvxuser is that anyways?
 
You bastards actually tricked me! I read up to page 21 before watching it, downloaded all the fest's movies fired up front row, got comfortable, decided to watch jack's first given his history...and....and..."WHAT THE FU**."

Then I went back and read the comments and fully understood them. Obviously as soon as I saw it I knew it was a joke but I didn't expect one and everyone else hyping it up didn't help walking into it.

All I can is DAMN YOU ALL!
 
Someone explain to me how back at Dramafest someone made a joke-entry (people on toilets, etc.) that was actually well thought out satire, and he got roasted for it. Now this, and everyone laughs. We're going to need some icecream to go with this double-layer cake of hypocrisy.

Now don't get me wrong, I take the side of the satires, both are funny, though this one was more of a blatant setup, more of a direct f*ck-you-viewers. Though I think every fest should have one to keep things from getting too serious.
 
JDS, this was hilarious, i was totally caught by surprise.

At first i was bummed because i wanted to see a new film by you (and still do)
but then as it sunk in i was sort of relieved. Because you were talking about
a 15k budget and you had screen shots of greenscreen wire-fu, i was gettin'
nervous that you were gettin' all michael bay on us.

And then when the opening
credits came on and it looked like the intro to a super hero movie complete with
green glows on the lettering... i thought you had jumped the shark!
And then it was all a joke. And a damn good one.

I asked for permission from the fest mastera before hand, and explained the premise, and how the "piece" consisted of the film and thread in tandem.

I think the big difference is I asked for permission and it's pretty clear where I'm coming from. i.e., the forum's most elaborate Rick Roll done out of affection. '

In fact to the fest mods it was explicitly clear as I told them before hand. So they didn't have to sit around and wonder if I was mocking the whole fest or not, which is how many perceived the previous gag entry that you allude to.

Luckily people are having a good time with it.

EDIT: I just reread your post and I think maybe you are just referring to how the general populace received both films ... in which case what can I tell you, a joke, satire, or a practical joke can be taken one of two ways, as appreciated and funny (even when it's on you), or as offensive and inappropriate (just ask Michael Richards).

I don't think it's hipocrisy that people seem to have enjoyed this and bristled at the other. Just the way the joke landed.

But since I see the thread and the short as one "piece" you're really commenting on my work, and as such, I thank you for your viewpoint and the discussion ... which will hopefully die down within a page or so the last few unsuspecting souls can be had :)
