They came to attack us - a cool little must-see independent sci-fi flick.

OK, I watched the whole thing and I have just one question - what is it FOR?

Actually saw that one quite a while ago, but the refresher was quite appreciated.

That's the current Project Greenlight guys, I think.

At first I thought the main character was Bob Odenkirk and I was thrilled. Then I saw that it wasn't, but he acted like Odenkirk doing "Droopy" and I was still okay with it. Then he got the magic barrel lock and I just wanted to go hiking.

Yup, looks like the Project Green Light Directors. Anyone follow the series? Get the feeling contest judges chose precisely the wrong team to direct the "Battle of Shakers Heights?"

OK, because I was ignorant about what this Project Greenlight thing y'all were talking about was, I googled up a link for anyone else who might also be in the dark.

Nice short film... made its rounds on Fark.com last year because Drew's cousin(?) has a part in it.

The message I get from that film is that, if you want to choose someone to save the world from aliens, don't choose a guy, because he will either get distracted by trying to get laid, or be unable to get the shampoo out of his eyes in time. Or am I being too literal?

Saveable link.

why thank you aeschenkarnos :-)

dg - I suppose those were possible messages you could take away. The message that I got? Watch out for the guy you carpool with.
