Guy Manly Movies presents "Out of Thyme"

In the past few days, DVXusers Ben Sliker and Justin Kuhn sat down and chatted over AIM while simultaneously watching the same TIMEFEST films. We call them, "The AIM sessions". Here's their thoughts on "OUT OF THYME"

happygobo (11:23:18 AM): NEXT SONG

Keep it coming guys, funny stuff!
 
Really enjoyed this one - in a Monty Python kinda way.

I seriously think you could have found a better use of those few vomiting seconds, however.

Very funny stuff. Herb is a great comedic actor, and a good balance to Mr. Chef. A classic Mutt and Jeff match-up.

Tech issues have been mentioned.

The wheel chair guy really has that aura of Saturday Night Live exuding from him... Like he knows something really funny and you don't...yet... Good punny comedy!:thumbsup:
 
Thank you for not holding back on the use of puns! With a title like that, you just have to commit, and you did. I laughed all the way through this. Biggest laugh had to be when Herb wouldn't get in the van. Great use of the comedic potential of the wheelchair. Good stuff "guys"! :)
 
I saw your film. What the heck happened?

Actually, I liked it. It was silly, stupid, and cheesy! But it worked. I loved the puns. Very creative!

Thanks for showing!
 
This was the funniest on of the fest.

Steaks are high, out of thyme...yeah, great.

"we puked for twenty minutes and then passed out" Rolling and laughing!

I really liked this!

Oh, and the end hitting his head, then the shot of the two of them with blood streaming into ocean, great.

Good work,

Hey guys,
Just caught the flick. I must say I LOVE this piece. I don't wanna go into the production value cause it's been mentioned. And so, you know.

But I really really enjoyed the irreverant zaniness of this piece. Herb looks like Rowan Atkinson to me, which helps. I thought the pacing could have been a bit quicker. Just to move things along. But other than that I really enjoyed this piece. I laughed out loud quite a few times and the times I wasn't laughing I was smiling.

It's nice to see such energy and enthusiasm in a piece. I could feel that you guys enjoyed what you were doing and the chemistry between the two characters was really fun. I just really enjoyed this piece, a testament to the writing and the acting.

Good work. Next, a little more production value, huh? But even without it I fully enjoyed this.
 
I LOLed several times during this short.

For some reason I really liked the line about the van not being wheelchair accessible.

I prefered the wheelchair actor more to the other guy. The other guy seemed to be trying too hard.

Lots of funny puns.

I for one was not a big fan of the ending. It seemed like a cop out to actually wrapping up the story. But at least this was a comedy, so it didn't offend me as much as it might have. It did look awesome though, with the blood washing out with the tide.

Good job!
 
Oh yes, I love the filmgenre food film. This one was very funny, also if the acting me didn't convinced. I like the score. I was very surprised when the film changed the genre and got a road movie, but you have a good ironic sense and it worked. Above all I laughed the whole film and this was great. Thank you.

This is one of my favorites. Sure it had its shortcomings (the wheelchair guy was awesome, the other guy not so much; the audio) but dang it was funny. My favorite shot, a total LOL, is the wide shot of the wheelchair driving out to the parking lot, stopping, and turning back. Just delightful. Delightful filmmaking here.
 
Lisa and I both loved this one. Ridiculous!!!
And yet it works.
That's saying a lot for me, because I am normally not a big fan of comedies. Definitely one of our festival favorites, and the only one we've been quoting to each other at random moments :) Great job.
 
F-ing hilarious. I'm almost through the films and this was the first time I actually laughed out loud. kudos.

Great timing/delivery/editing on the "that's why I bought you all those watches" part. I'm still laughing.

Good job.
 
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hahahahahahahahahahaha.

i'm totally stealing the powerchair schtick. comic gold, dudes.
 
I was happy to hit this piece after watching so many dramas and it did make me laugh though silly as hell. But I think that was the point, so well done!
;)
