Yeah, our make-up guy Crist (http://www.myspace.com/metamorphosismakeup) was the same way. Straight up Mensch through and through, even though he was way above our pay-grade. Love working with people like that.

Sounds like it's coming together nicely, guys.

A REALLY nice page with some incredible work, Mark. That's so tight that you got that level of assistance on your project. Extremely cool. I'm truly excited to see your opus, Harris.
 
Oh I'm excited to see yours. Rumor mill is going full-tilt on the bad-assedness you guys have in store for us.
 
Thanks Brandon and Mark. This has been a pretty fun ride and we're up for the challenge. Always trying to step it up.
 
Hey, I just saw this thread. Are you guys makin' a movie or something? Seems like a lot of hullabaloo...

"...if you break it, try to pick up ALL the pieces. I built it and I can put it together again as long as I have the pieces. So, you go have fun and play with my toys and don't worry if anything breaks. Just bring back the damn pieces! ... "

Mark, I have to confess that I gravitated toward nature and landscape motifs because I am, by trait and heredity, a misanthrope. Moreover, in addition to maintaining a comfortable distance from humanity, I find my skills do not have to be top-notch or my work fastidious in this market. There will always be older women with a penchant for ducks to keep my liquor cabinet stocked and my closet filled with the stylish garments I am known for.

Steven, your candor is refreshing and appreciated.
 
I imagine myself sometime in the future (say 40 years) in the geriatric ward with drool seeping from my pursed lips. Another email comes in from the Fat Monsters saying that the Vienna video is almost complete.

I squint to read the words on the screen and then begin slamming my fists on the keyboard until I am forcefully removed in a straight jacket.

5 years later - The Vienna video is officially released only minutes after a I have administered a self-lobotomy.

Vienna herself has long abandoned the music business and now resides at a Tibetan monastery in the south of France. Although the edit is great, she is detached from it and the only thing that is heard in the distance is the sound of one hand clapping.
 
The clarity of your vision is both astounding and frightening. What troubles me is that it fails to mention the long tenure I will have had as Hef's successor at the Playboy mansion before expiring in the grotto.
"He had a good looking corpse, that one did."​
 
Sorry about that...

All a while both Mark and Tim have let themselves go...so consumed by producing top notch material that they have completely ignored their bodys' need for health and nutrition. Fast food is the order of the day. Soon, in certain Hollywood circles, the company has been nick named "Fat Bastards".

Mark lays around eating grapes and hamburgers all day at the Fat Bastard Mansion with Hef's former bunnies. The allure to the Mansion is dangerously threatening to Hef because he has found that not only has he lost his marbles but he has also lost most of his bunnies. He expires of a broken heart.

Johnson's slobbering laugh can be heard for miles but he sadly expires of a massive coronary before he can truly make it known to the world that he is the true heir to the Playboy mogul.

In the meantime, Tim has been arrested for directing traffic on a busy intersection in LA while screaming profanities at passers by. His condition is so serious, he no longer recognizes the world he lives in or the person he has become. Although he is walking around in his own filth screaming at people, in his mind, he is directing Tom Cruise in his latest feature and sipping champagne with the beautiful co-star. Life is good inside Tim's head.
 
Luis Sinibaldi, the fattest monster of all, has been shooting B-cam on the Corrado set these past couple weeks and they were in need of some more P2 cards so Tim and I were happy to loan them a couple 8 giggers and got to hang out on the set yesterday. They were shooting at a little bistro on Sunset and we learned a bunch of great stuff from that incredible crew.

Here's some iPhone snaps from the day:

Over the lunch hour I made the quick trip to North Hollywood where I dropped off our latest revised script for our TimeFest entry to Dragon Dronet at Renegade Effects. Dragon told me he was so pumped up by our visit on Tuesday that he took the whole day off to work on our props! It was so amazingly cool to see all of the items laid out on his workbench.

Also, at the end of the day we got a call from Dragon who told us that his good friend and writer Jimmy Diggs (Star Trek Voyager; Deep Space 9 etc.) is producing an episode of Stark Trek Phase II and he (Dragon) is going to play the villain (a badass alien starship commander who he describes as sort of a cross between a Klingon and a big cat). Anyway, Dragon said he was impressed with what he's seen of us so far and he talked to Jimmy about having Fat Monster help with the part of the shoot that will be taking place in L.A. in late June. George Takai from the original series is involved and they project over 30 milliion downloads of the 45 minute episode on the net when it is finished.

Needless to say, we told Dragon we are "in" and we're really looking forward to it. Dragon told me that he and his wife remember very well how important it was for them to make networking connections when they were trying to scratch out a foothold in Hollywood and he's happy to help us. What a great guy.
 
Oh I heard about your "script changes" Sniff, sniff.

Man, you guys have all the fun. I want to come to LA and play with you!!!!!
 
Yo Mark. We would give you one of the few beds if you can make it out here to shoot with us. Ever since we went through those beers at the Black Watch pub when you came out here last time we've been Jonesing for more Harris. Isn't there any way you could snag a cheap ticket and come out for Memorial Day?
