New Comedy Writing
I’ve got quite a few new articles up at the Vilification Tennis website this morning.
I wrote the World News article this morning looking at doubts surrounding Mitt Romney’s Citizenship.
I also wrote a new Movie Dick article about a brand new genre in movie making – the “film in which the title character doesn’t appear” genre.
And finally, after a brief hiatus, we have a new episode of the Vilification Tennis Podcast up! We recorded it in the MN Renaissance Festival campground on Friday night and it is pretty entertaining.
So pop on over and take a look if you like!
New Movie Silliness written by me
I have a new Movie Dick article up for New Content day on the Vilification Tennis website. I make fun of Kate Beckinsale who, I’m sorry to say, is a pretty easy target.
Social Commentary Disguised as Humor?
I’m pretty happy with my new article over at the Vilification Tennis website.
I got to thinking how uninformed the American public is in general and how that might relate to death of Sally Ride. So I wrote this piece that went live this morning.
Go check it out and ask yourself, it is so far removed from the truth?
New Stuff I wrote
We have a new podcast up over at the Vilification Tennis website this morning along with lots of other new content! This week’s podcast got into some pretty deep discussion about comic theory including what makes Geek humor work so well and, in the wake of the Colorado shootings, we ask how soon it is too soon to joke about tragic events.
Interestingly enough, I also wrote a Movie Dick article this week about The Dark Knight Rises. It has nothing to do with the shooting and was written before that event ever took place. Somehow, I still think that someone will tell me that posting it was in the worst possible taste…
Sweet Sweet podcast-y goodness!
There is a new podcast up over at Vilification Tennis, along with a lot of other new stuff.
The latest podcast includes all sorts of weird stuff. Among other things, I won the Vilification Tennis Home Game for the first time ever. Also we learn that the Huffington post is just a little bit behind when it comes to sexual fetishes.
So go listen and read and stuff, OK?
Kickstart me!
We launched a Kickstarter last Friday for the Vilification Tennis home game and while there is a lot of information on the Kickstarter page, I’m going to blog about why I wanted to do it in the first place and some of the stretch goals we have in mind if we can reach our initial goal fast enough.
Why do I want to create a real version of a game we created specifically for on stage entertainment?
Because it’s a lot of fun. When you play the game, very little of what you come up with is golden. It is funny simply because you have to come up with something funny very quickly and that is kind of impressive. It makes unfunny stuff funnier.
I don’t want you to feel comfortable about being a bigot
I wrote a radio play for Vaudevilification Tennis and because the show took place during Pride, I decided to include a “public service announcement” against the gay marriage ban. My opinion on the issue should be clear but I saw a good opportunity for some comedy that also made a statement that is important to me.
When it came time to put that script in the CONvergence show, I initially balked at the idea of including the public service announcement because I felt that CONvergence is not a political convention and the announcement might be out of place.
Two things changed my mind.
CONvergence 2012 Highlights
There were a few low points at CONvergence 2012 but they aren’t even worth mentioning. Most of them had to do with last minute planning failures and my complete inability to sleep past 7:30, even when I went to sleep at 5:00 A.M.
So forget that stuff, here’s some of my best moments from CONvergence 2012 (more or less in chronological order):
Comedy!
I have a new article up over at the Vilification Tennis website this week!
It is always a challenge when you are writing a comedy article that is supposed to be sexist. What I too sexist or not sexist enough?
New stuff with the funny and the jokes!
There is a whole ton of new stuff at the Vilification Tennis website and, as things work out sometimes, I wrote a lot of it.
So, if you’d like to read a silly piece about The Supreme Court decision, you can do that!
I also wrote a Movie Dick article about Brave.
And there is a new podcast up and available for your listening pleasure!
As if all of that wasn’t enough, we have a video of the CONvergence 2011 grudge match between Brian Keene and C. Robert Cargill!
There’s other stuff too – it’s a big week. That’s just the stuff I wrote/am in.
