So Am I Dead or What?

...because, me, I haven't posted in like a week, me. Seriously get on that, myself, or I shall be very upset.

And on a similar note, what the hell happened to that movie I was apparently making with that one guy who used to write for this blog?

Short answer: it died an ugly ugly death.

Long answer: see above, but that doesn't mean nothing's happening ever.

I've written about eight sketches (short comedy scenes for all you sad souls who never saw Monty Python), and Tom and I are editing them now. Hopefully something will come of them over winter break.

I wanted to post a line or two from one of the sketches, but our lawyers went over what I was going to post and cut most of it out. So all I'm left with is this:

OSCAR WILDE IV: [Spoiler].

That should whet your appetites.

The Movie - the story so far

A brief history of the movie, which, like Led Zeppelin's 4th album, is untitled. Not because we're crazy pretentious, but because we're crazy indecisive.

So, in early spring 2008 I finally saw the 1986 classic British film Withnail & I. As far as I can remember, that was the jumping-off point for the plot of our movie: two guys slumming it in an apartment somewhere doing practically nothing. I transposed it to a college campus in present-day America and gave them a definite mission, namely, to get into, and then out of, a frat.

Tom and I tossed around the idea of doing a film that was a number of shorts, but only two of them really took- the aforementioned story, which would also involve them being in a band somehow a la Spinal Tap, and a story that I ripped off from an episode of Doctor Who.

So during the summer of 2008 we slowly patched the script together. Then suddenly it was time to go off to school... but summer 09 draws nearer, and when it gets here... then the movie shall be made.
For real(?)

DDDD, Part 1

First post.

Very quickly, this blog is run by two people, collectively known as the Gordric Brothers. During the summer they live somewhere in Illinois. Jim (me) goes to college in Wisconsin and Tom (that other guy) goes to college in Virginia.

We're making an incredibly bad low-budget movie written by me and directed by him. This blog will consist of updates on that. Also, I'll be reviewing classic rock/hard rock/metal albums from time to time, and he'll be reviewing movies. Expect a fair amount of whining from both of us on random other issues from time to time as well.

We're doing this as one blog because it's mostly about the movie we're making, and we can't see the point of splitting up that news into two blogs.
