Bananaman Moves Forward.

Sorry for the infrequency of posts, Scooby Gang. I've been busy/lazy/hungry/coupla' other things.

Let's get the cool stuff out of the way first. we have had two days of shooting for Bananaman, and it looks totally adequate! Hooray! That is a lot better than terrible! Actually, it looks pretty good. We're about halfway through the script, and the rest should be a cakewalk. I hope. We decided to make it black and white, because it makes the lighting look better film look artsier. I'm pretty excited to see what how the rest of the shoot goes. One thing I learned: that banana suit is warm. Like, crazy warm. You could use that thing for a sleeping bag when you camping in March kind of warm. The things I do for my art. Speaking of things I do, the shoot yesterday made my mouth taste like styrofoam. I won't tell you why though, you'll just have to see the flick; coming to a Film Festival near you! And if it isn't, well then, send me money and I'll send you a DVD, maybe.


Man, I totally had more stuff to talk about tonight, but I can't remember what they were. I got so caught up in talking about Bananaman and learning how to do this that I totally forgot. Ah well.

Until next time, Welcome to Earf!

Damnit, Google.

Sorry gang, it looks like Google broke their Polling code when they did a new release a month or so ago, so for now, I'm going to take the poll down. hopefully this gets resolved soon.

The All New, All Different X-Men...er... Stu's Blog!!

Well hello again, Internet! Nice to see you again! Have a seat! Are you hungry? Have you eaten? I could rustle up a quiche...

I've added some gizmos to my blog, because... I could really. No other reason.

The first gizmo is the least interesting. I've added a search bar, so you can search for stuff I've talked about in the past without having to go through all the posts! Convenient, yeah?

The second is only slightly more interesting. At the bottom of each post, I've added a thingie-majigger so you can share my posts with your friends on Facebook or Twitter or whatever. Cool huh? This means you should start sharing my stuff, because the more people read this blog, the cooler I will feel. And also, a fairy gets it's fairy dust whenever someone reads it, so lets get those fairies dusted, alright?

that sounds like I put a hit out on fairies or something, but I assure you, that is not what I meant.

The third (and coolest) gizmo I have added is by far my favorite. I added a Poll! I'm going to try to think of a new question every week, and I welcome your ideas.

That's all for now kids. Now go away, I'm readin' "Super Fudge!"

Late Nights With Stu. (Third in an ongoing series)

It is almost two o'clock in the A.M. and i have just finished watching the Star Trek movie that came out last year. I really dig it. But enough about me. Why don't you tell me a bit about yourself? Uh-huh... Really?

I'm not interested.

So lately I've been trying to figure out which area of my body is the most uncomfortable when it sweats, and I'm thinking that it just might be the back of my knees. I dunno, I'm probably just saying that because they are currently sweaty and I'm not enjoying it. I'm sure there are places on my body that are even more uncomfortable when I sweat, but right now all I can think about is how gross this feels right now.

Now aren't you glad I wasn't interested in what you had to say, so I could share that tasty tidbit with you? Don't answer, your silence is thanks enough. And also, orange you glad I didn't say banana? Ha HA! Its funny! this is the part where you laugh at my ridiculous Internet antics! Good times...

Speaking of bananas... They are delicious. Eat some and grow strong from their potassium-y goodness. Like Bananaman would. Check him out.


Yes, kiddies, it is true. I was not the first person to realize that "Bananaman" sounds funny, nor will I be the last. It was actually a cartoon in the eighties, based on a British cartoon strip, and it's five minute episodes were shown alongside the likes Dangermouse. It is chock full of what we expect from kids cartoons in the eighties: silliness, bad animation, and awful jokes. Now, I realize that "awful jokes" kind of falls under the umbrella of "silliness," but eighties cartoons generally had enough bad jokes to warrant it's own category. Deal with it.

You can find episodes of Bananaman on youtube, and they are totally worth it. I know I laughed. Also, a little fun fact for youse guys: If you google "Bananaman Teaser" the first video to pop up has me in it. Bananaman (my version). This is it. Tell your friends.

Late Nights With Stu (again)

So, I'm sitting in my underwear, wondering if I should try going back to bed, or whether I should pop in a movie and grab some Fruit Loops ( or rather the in-store brand we bought, which they call "Silly Circles.") and try to figure out exactly why they keep putting Keanu Reeves in movies that have nothing to do with Bill & Ted. He's just so expressionless. Emote, damnit! Now this is not to say I don't like his movies. I just find them mildly painful. And by mildly, I mean sometimes his acting makes me want to bash my head repeatedly against the wall to see if it will somehow improve upon his performance.**



Buuuuuut, he knows Kung-Fu, so that's all that really matters.

In other news, no development on the RPG gaming front, which sucks, but I think I'll be okay. I'll just drown myself in Slurpees and video games until I'm as smart as this guy:


Until next time, kids,
Get offa my Lawn!

**It does not

Long over-due Bananaman Updates

So, it's been a little while since I told you guys anything about what's going on with Bananaman. Basically, I've been super lazy, and done anything. BUT! BUT! Fear not, Bananafans! I'm ready to shoot it, pretty much. I just have to clean up my entire apartment! Oh, yeah, and set a shoot date and get the Banana suit ready for the action scenes, but i plan on getting that all worked out this week. I'm going to try to get this thing ready for the middle of August at the very latest. I promise. And if I break that promise, then screw you, I'm lazy.

Seriously, though. I'll try. Just for you guys.




Now, get off of my lawn!

Reunited. (And it Feels So Good)

Say what you want about that song, but it is very important, since it sells us things on TV all the time. If you don't know what song I'm talking about, then I suggest you read the title of this post, as it directly relates to the subject matter of this particular post. If you don't feel like reading the title of this post, then... um...

Look over there! A Unicorn!


Oh sorry, it was just a regular horse.

So today I hung out with Kate, who has been my friend, well, since I was born. I'm not exaggerating, either. Really. What made this time so blog-worthy? Well, the last time we saw each other was nearly ten years ago. Yeah, nearly half our lives, when you think about it. The cool part was is we managed to talk for nearly three hours. I can talk a lot, apparently. My voice is actually hoarse. HaHa. Hoarse. It sounds like Horse, which was in my joke. It all ties in! Hilarious.

Anyway, it was cool. And you know what else is cool, kids? Reading my Blog. So if you read it, you're one of us cool kids.

One of us! One of us! One of us!

Withdrawal

Oh man, it has been a long time since I posted. I'm not very good at this, apparently.

So I'm currently going through withdrawals. Not from drugs, like most people who write about their symptoms, but from Gaming. I like to play pen and paper role-playing games, like Dungeons and Dragons and such. Since moving here, the amount of gaming I do has been drastically reduced from playing once or twice a week to... well, pretty much never. What kind of symptoms could I be having? Well, I'm constantly bored, I spend my day reading the rule books and making characters. I've been doing this almost every day for nearly a month now. If only my computer didn't suck so much, I would try playing with my friends via webcam.

I've been thinking that to get over this overwhelming desire to play, I should try posting an add on craigslist, or something. the more i think about it though, the creepier (and more pathetic) that sounds. Maybe I'll try going to a hobby store nearby, and seeing if I can join a group. I've got to do something, because this is getting ridiculous.


In other news, I've decided that I need to make a full-length feature. The big problem with features, though, is that they tend to require money, and usually more than a three person crew. Also, I don't have the attention span needed to bang out 90 pages. I can barely do four. But hot damn, I would like to do it. We'll see. Maybe I can come up with an idea, and then carry that idea tenderly to the page. Then very gently stroke that Idea's hair while it sleeps, and whisper encouraging (and moderately sexual) things in it's ear. Maybe.
