HANNAH! DID YOU TAKE MY GINGER ALE?! OH YEAH, 'CAUSE I HAVE A LOTTA THINGS – NO I DON'T, I HAVE GINGER ALE! I HAD GINGER ALE, AND THEN YOU DRANK IT! posted by koeselitz at 4:17 PM on January 30 [4 favorites]
I know this is gonna make me a killjoy, but while I did like this, I would have liked a tighter, shorter version of it a whole lot better. The first thing that would have gone was the whole Kill Bill music montage, which isn't very funny and is really, really dated. You could have shaved a minute and a half off the thing right there, and it would have been much improved for it. I fear that bloated, never-ending SNL skits may have seriously fucked with a whole generation's comic timing forever. posted by kittens for breakfast at 4:25 PM on January 30 [14 favorites]
I dunno, kittens, I know what you mean but I enjoyed every minute of it.
From the same crowd: the brilliance that is Lonny

kittens for breakfast, if this is indeed an NYU thesis film, they were required to make the running time over 15 minutes. I thought they actually succeeded in sustaining the comedy and did a much more brilliant job than the usual SNL skit where they beat a joke to death. posted by cazoo at 4:54 PM on January 30 [4 favorites]
That was awesome and now I can't stop watching Lonny. posted by eyeballkid at 5:03 PM on January 30
Oh man, that was pretty great. That's one of the best thesis films I've seen in a long time. posted by Sticherbeast at 5:12 PM on January 30
My favorite parts: the number required to activate the branding paint, and "MY MAGIC HEAD." posted by Sticherbeast at 5:14 PM on January 30 [1 favorite]

Also, never saw "Lonny" before and they just scored major points with me for the subtle nod to The Jerk posted by Hoopo at 6:26 PM on January 30

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Well, then, yeah. I too had to write the occasional 5000-word paper that would have been a great 1500-word paper. I'd still like to see an edit! Or, barring that, a feature. This could really go either way, I think. posted by kittens for breakfast at 6:26 PM on January 30
They need to make this into a feature film. See also Sexual Roleplay
OK see that was WAY better. posted by odinsdream at 6:45 PM on January 30
In the vast world of funny internet videos this is a 5 or 6 out of 10. But if you've ever suffered through a film school screening, this is the most amazing video ever. posted by j03 at 10:12 PM on January 30 [1 favorite]
