If you’re a fan of The Office, you will recognize how incredibly funny this article is (read to at least the fourth paragraph...).
And if you’re not a fan, you should be. Season 2 starts September 20. 9:30pm on Tuesdays on NBC. Check it out. It’s stupid awesome.
I’ve been reading TheDailyWTF.com lately... a co-worker referred me there a few weeks ago. If you’re not a programmer, you won’t find the site very funny. But if you are, you’ll probably find it very funny and/or disturbing. The guy who runs the site (“Alex”) makes a post every afternoon (about two-ish), making fun of some terrible code that has been sent in. Some are better than others obviously. Last Friday’s post was one that people who know nothing about programming can appreciate: screen shots of really dumb error messages. Check it out, you’ll enjoy it.
Garrison was talking to me about 3d modeling and how he needed to build a portfolio. “I’ve got you covered,” I told him, “they’ll never know.”
So here’s an idea that I’ve had for quite a while. Everyone I tell it too seems to think it’s at least a decent idea.
Why not make a prequel to Space Balls? Call it something like “Space Balls: Episode -2”. There should be a character who’s a spoof of Jar-Jar. They should take a girl in sixth grade and spend about three hours teaching her how to use Maya and have her do all the animation for this character, so that it will look really bad (but on-purpose bad). And the character should have some random accent. And the Anakin-spoof character should be really whiny and stupid, and maybe handicapable.
Well I think that certainly a start to a decent movie plot. If anyone is Mel Brooks’s cousin or something, give him my idea. I’ll even provide it royalty free.
