Another flash movie

July 20, 2001 3:28 PM

Another flash movie attempts to be both 'witty' and 'clever'. Remember kids, friends don't let friends make crappy flash movies in hopes of becoming the next AYBABTU.

If it's so bad just ignore it. Not everyone can, or should be, Joshua Davis. If someone wants to make a jumping squirrel say weeee, why shouldn't they?

jcterminal: Was that Ron Jeremy as one of the "gonads" references?

One caveat: don't go there with your teenage girls standing behind you looking over your shoulder..............

Squirrels are cute. They look sorta like miniature dogs with bushy tails. I plan to domesticate them and sell them as the "perfect pet" when I retire from my current job. Any takers?

Hey, it's no worse than some of the crap I put on my page...

I hate to say it, but I thought it was rocking. Maybe it's got something to do with my big Tenacious D fanboy-dom and how this reminds me of something they'd sing (without the faked helium voice).

Oh my dear heavens! This is my favorite flash "movie" posted on MeFi yet. Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

Does this have anything to do with Mario Dinis?

Theory: is this a send-up of Porno for Pyros' "Orgasm"? I've never acutally heard the song, and now it appears that I don't need to. I doubt that Mr. Farrell could come up with a lyric as elegant as "gonads and strife" even if stone cold sober.

Yes, that was Ron Jeremy. What I'm wondering is why the "strife" reference looks suspiciously to me like Richard Thomas, aka "John Boy Walton." I guess both reached career apexes in the 1970s.

Alas, it was John Boy, the purest of tv characters and a striking contrast to Ron Jeremy=)

I gotta go with Matt on this one. I thought it was way cool. It sounded like Ween to me.

I think we're all far too picky. We're spoiled, that's what's wrong. The media is new ... but we all expect everything to be dazzling. That sentence made my head hurt.
In the early days of tv or radio or whatnot, there were some stars and some people didn't "get it" just like now. Forget it. Everything should be dazzling ... I just need to stop trying to create and concentrate on watching the pretties.

Kind of like a ripoff of the great H........ flash by the teenager. It was silly. Gets two stars.
