Hollywood Director Attack Ads





The Wes Anderson ad in the first video and the David Lynch ad in the second video are my favorites. Great job, guys!

Cartoon Shows

I was talking with Katey, Joey, Dan and Curtis about early 90's cartoon shows, and remembering how awesome they were. We're talking '91-'96 (maybe even '89) cartoon series that were fantastic. Some of them were really sophisticated and ahead of their time, some of them were just fun kids shows, and some of them were really bizarre, but I remember loving all of them. My childhood pretty much centered around these shows.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles


Gargoyles


Mega Man


Exo Squad


Mighty Max


Samurai Pizza Cats


There are a ton of other shows I could mention, but these were the ones I held near and dear to my heart. Besides, I'm sure I'll have plenty of other chances to reference shows like Street Sharks or Reeboot.

Creepy Video and Awesome Shows

Anna Rubanova sent me this disturbing video:



In other news, Iron Ruckus had a really fun Cagematch last night. I'm very proud of all of us. We faught valiantly, but were no match against the awesome might of Hot Sauce. Great job, everyone!

Japanese Don't Fuck Around With Cartoon Openings

This is the japanese opening to the X-Men series from the 90's. It is infinately cooler than the american version, even with the weird music in the backround.

Take a Chance, Bluvband

One of the things I like about improv is that it forces you to be more decisive and make strong choices. This is something I feel like I lack in real life, although since starting improv I have gotten better. Still, I put way too much thought into things, and I often drive myself crazy worrying about the outcome of things that haven't happened yet, and as a result I've missed many possibly wonderful oppertunities, and beat myself up for it.

So, the note I'm giving to myself: Be Bold

Don't worry about failure. Just follow your gut. It'll usually lead you to the right places.

X-Men Improv

I performed in Bad Date IV: Book of Shadows on Saturday, where I got to play Nightcrawler in X-Menprov. It was one of the most fun shows I've ever done. All the costumes were awesome (thanks to Brett and Sam for helping with mine).
