You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers - so many caring people in this world.”  Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood - Helping children deal with tragic events in the news

The second bombshell in the press release announced Star Wars: Episode 7 with a targeted 2015 release. Wow. That’s a lot to process. Thoughts? [cartoonbrew] I hope this is the actual cast pic from Star Wars: Episode 7: Revenge of the Battle of the Force of the Magic Kingdom. Also, Lucas looks thrilled. I don’t understand this.   Does George Lucas really need more money?   I have to say that I have hated the last four things I’ve seen from Lucas.  Episodes 1,2 and 3 of Star Wars and Indy 4 were dreadful…dreadful affairs (Well, episode #3 was about a ‘C+’, but that’s being generous) that have ruined big narrative forces in my life. The well seemed to be pretty dry at Skywalker Ranch for new ideas, outside of ideas of how to squeeze more money out of licensing even more Star Wars crap.  They still had ILM, but beyond industry and lights, the magic was gone. But I had a sort of respect for him in this regard: George Lucas was rich enough to do whatever the fuck he wanted to.  He had made so much money off of Star Wars that he was able to produce the three prequels by himself.  George just said, hey Fox, I got this.  You can distribute if you want, but I’m keeping everything else.  And if they were shitty movies or not (if you didn’t read the previous paragraph, I think they were), he answered to no one for it.  Not to Fox because he wasted their money (and I think he made a ton of money off of these anyway) and not the fans because these were his vision alone.  You know how many movies are made off of one vision these days?  Maybe Woody Allen, a throwback from another time.  Everyone else has to endure 10 billion notes that water down that vision until everything you believed in is gone.  George Lucas, for whatever his drawbacks were, was no one’s bitch.   Disney will now churn out new Star Wars films forever and ever and ever.  At least when Lucas died, we had the possibility that his legacy would stand with three culture defining movies and three cash grabs.  I could live with that.  Now, we’ll get STAR WARS 12: Blowing Shit Up!  And Star Wars 23: Reboot, with Darth Vader played by PSY! Not to mention the crossovers. How long before someone spots mouse ears in a shot?  When do we see Mickey in a cute Star Wars parody?  Let’s just mash it all up with Mickey Mouse Presents: Star Wars: The Jedi Avengers, featuring Pitbull! George was the last of the movie moguls. He built up a war chest of money, did very little with it and has now sold it all away.  That’s a little sad.  Because a long, long time ago, Star Wars was pretty awesome. I’m of two minds about this.  Immediately, I assumed that the franchise was completely devalued and that this was the ultimate sellout.  Lucas has repeatedly gone back on his word regarding whether there would ever be any more movies and whether this particular story was done.  Then again, he’s always done the same in regard to whether the original theatrical versions would ever be available on home video. Then a glimmer of hope set in.  After The Phantom Menace, the idea of another writer/director getting a shot of this franchise became really exciting.  It was the hope we all felt seeing that Phantom Menace trailer for the first time.  The hope that this franchise could be as great as before. Initially it doesn’t seem like Disney is the most obvious fit.  They did a horrible job initially with The Muppets franchise and have seemingly lost their way yet again in animation (outside of acquiring Pixar which stands on its own), but I think the closest relative to this deal might be Disney’s acquisition of Marvel.  Initially the community of Marvel fans was really trepidatious about the deal, but it’s worked out extremely well for both parties. If Disney is as conscientious about the quality of filmmakers and material involved in Star Wars going forward as they are with Marvel, there might be something worth getting excited about again.  Could it be worse than what we’ve had for the last 13 years?  Worse than the state of the Star Trek franchise?  Probably not.  I’m crossing my fingers.

The Duncan Brothers made this and Myke and Abed are in it! IT’S GREAT!!!!

I was really bummed this didn’t get in.  I was psyched to get to be in a Duncan Brothers’ show and act in a show with Myke.  I’ve been his biggest fan since Puzzles.

Chris Gethard is an outstanding comedy show host, and if you didn’t already know that, this clip will show you why. Unlike stand-up comedians who write all of their own material, and comedic actors who have the majority of their lines fed to them, being a show host means being constantly bombarded with ideas from all kinds of different sources and never having enough time to perfect the idea or routine. What you get on the other end of that process is a little bit of funny and a whole lot of messy. Conan, for example, takes his biggest bombs and finds a way to make them funny. Jay Leno, however, does that awkward thing where he keeps talking or just says the punchline a second time in order to hide the fact that no one is laughing, and then has a look of suppressed evil on his face like he’s about to fire all of writers and spread lies about their spouses.

In short, being a show host means being able to turn your stupidest moments into your funniest ones. 

And so without further ado, here is a video of Chris Gethard wearing clothes like “Carlton” from Fresh Prince, holding Ritz crackers, and dancing at the Ritz Carlton hotel.

Brilliant.

I love this.  I had all sorts of Fry’s Trek/Glory of Rome flashbacks.

Brian Wysolmierski’s ICONS OF TEEN hits the world next week. Tons of awesome lunatics appear in this  crazy thing. First up, me as teenage mr spock.

dig it

I’m doing a bunch of voices for these too.  I’ve seen a number of them and they are hilarious.  The trailer doesn’t do them justice at all.  Check them out when they start to appear.  You won’t be sorry.  Help Wysol out by clicking “like” on the YouTube vid.

yewknee: loopermovie: Our In-Theater Commentary Track is up! I recorded a commentary track to be downloaded, put on an ipod and listened to in the theater as you’re watching Looper.  This is an odd thing I tried with Bloom, and have gotten a few requests for it again, so here it is.  It is totally different from the commentary track that will be on the Blu/DVD, a bit more technical and detailed.  Needless to say, this is NOT to be listened to on a first viewing, or before you’ve seen the film.  Also, please work it so that a glowing screening is never out of your pocket during the movie. Listen to the introduction before heading to the theater, it has instructions.  And lemme know how it works. Go HERE to download the in-theater commentary track for Looper! (the “download” button is the little down arrow on the toolbar) this is a brilliant idea and makes me even sadder that I haven’t seen Looper yet. Oh my God. See Looper already.  It’s amazing.
