Inspiration

in the fast-moving world of do-it-yourself videographers who are creating a whole new form of entertainment online, here are a few of my favorite websites that prove that it can be done and done well.

Clark & Michael:
a hilariously awkward web series about two wanna-be writers in LA featuring Michael Cera from Arrested Development and Superbad and Clark Duke from Greek.

http://clarkandmichael.com

Blerbs:
a handful of talented comedians present their stand-up routines in an interesting storyteller fashion.

The Human Giant:
obviously someone is paying attention to user-generated entertainment or else MTV probably wouldn't have given the go ahead to make a sketch comedy show featuring a collection of 2-3 minute shorts.

The Lonely Island / It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia:
i lumped these two together because they are both examples of a group of friends who started off making shorts online and are now working for two of the largest networks in the industry. they are proof that it can happen and have achieved the goal we're all aspiring for.

David Lehre Productions:
another Michigander out here in LA doing it and doing it and doing it well.

Top Ten Reasons Why The New Indiana Jones Movie Title Sucks

Here are a few reasons why we don't like the title "Indiana Jones & The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull" for the new Indiana Jones movie.

1. Because then it's: "Indiana Jones and the KOCS."
2. Because it sounds like an episode of He-Man.
3. Because it reminds me of that one time I came up with a stupid title for a movie.
4. Because it makes old people punch each other.
5. Because Harrison Ford is too old. Oh wait. That's why they shouldn't make the movie not why they shouldn't call it that.
6. Because "Crystal Skull" sounds like something you'd buy on the Home Shopping Network.
7. Because George Lucas made Episodes 1, 2, and 3.
8. Because "Indiana Jones and the Crotch of Fire" would've been a better title... and that scares me.
9. Because "Crystal Skull" translates to "Sweaty Whore" in Portuguese so you lose the international audience.
10. Because I've been to the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and I was ass raped by a clown there.

Episode 2 coming this week!

Stay tuned!

In other news, we're gearing up to shoot Episode 4, and things are going great. We've been extremely fortunate to have some incredible actors attached to the show so far, and I'm excited about the direction that we're planning on taking future episodes. I think everyone will be surprised (and hopefully pleased) by what we have in store.

We're also excited to announce Ashley Bank has just joined the cast (her character story starts in Episode 4)! Ashley played Phoebe in the AWESOME 80's classic "The Monster Squad," and we're pumped that she's going to be a recurring character on "PB"!! We also have some sweet celebrity cameos developing as I type this, we'll be sure to keep you posted as things happen.

We're also planning in the near future to start recording podcasts for the site, as well as numerous skits featuring the characters from the show to fill in the space between the release of episodes; we also have a "PB" video game in the works, which should be out around November (my good buddy Nick Mitrousis will be designing it, check out http://www.mybluemonkey.com to sample some of his awesome work)!! Very exciting. Expect printable fliers to pop up on the site soon too, so that you can print them out and leave them wherever you go.

Thanks again to everyone for the support! Keep watching and spreading the word!!

More News!

so we're working on getting Steve from Ghost Hunters to be on the show. from the sound of it, he's interested. i just talked to McKiddy who's been in contact with his manager. here's the latest communication from her:

"Steve has a non-compete clause in his contract with Ghost Hunters so he needs to run the show by them before getting approval. Can you please send me a synopsis of the show that Steve can use to speed the execs along? Thanks."

stay tuned.
