This makes me laugh very much.
This fake commercial is best watched AFTER you’ve seen the much-talked about real commercial that justifies ingesting corn syrup in moderation.
Written by me and Hannah Schorr, and also starring me and the very lovely Cody Lindquist. Directed and edited by Nate Floody.
the best invention to come along in a while.
A new fake Ziploc commercial that I wrote with Hannah, starring the great Lance Rubin, with a little cameo by me.
Directed and edited by the awesome Nate Floody.
nicole holofcener is one of my very favorite writer/directors out there, and this movie is just super. she captures these wonderfully relatable, small human moments that you feel you’ve never seen on-screen before and portrays new yorkers’ Good-Person Syndrome in a way i really liked. great performances through and through and, at 90 minutes, it feels exactly the right length.
bloodsong has officially opened! it’s continued going awesomely, and i still highly recommend that everyone and anyone come see it. reviews came out last week, some super, some not, but reading all of them, i couldn’t help but think of this guy.
“In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talents, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new; an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking, is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau’s famous motto, ‘Anyone can cook’. But I realize - only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.”
– Anton Ego, Ratatouille
wise words. well said.
the first week of Bloodsong is done, and i am extremely excited for more. it is a superfun, funny, crazy, musically-magical, sweet, bad-ass, lovely, and bloody show. and the $25 ticket price seems like a bargain to me.
i always have a really hard time promoting shows i’m in because it’s like, “well, yeah, of course you think the show you’re in is good." but, truly. this is so completely worth seeing.
oh, i love this so. yes, because it’s a lovely tribute to a lesser-referenced line in one of my most very favorite films of all time, but also because, in one of those delightful life moments of synchronicity, i came across it this week, as we get closer and closer to the first performance of bloodsong of love. in which i play a character named banana. i found it immensely reassuring.
“he looks like a little banana.”

wow! they already made a sequel to Valentine’s Day! and katie is in it!
Eat it, Valentine’s Day!
When I say eat it, I mean it throw up on it.
PS22 singing Listomania. Adorable/inspiring. My favorite: chubby kid in the black shirt with red cheeks. Such passion for the song.
YES. i love this song to begin with, in all its mildly overexposed glory, but this version may just top the original.
started rehearsing this show last week, which is going to be at least as awesome as this poster is. very excited about it. i play a tambourine player named banana.
is the following the best audition posting i’ve seen recently, and maybe ever? yes. completely yes. i don’t wanna speak too soon, but it sounds like this movie could be Nicky Cage’s big comeback. wow.
Grant Wilfley Casting is seeking an African American boy, 9-12 years old, with very dark skin tone to be a featured extra in the Disney film “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” starring Nicolas Cage. We are specifically trying to find a boy with dreadlocks but may be able to do a wig if we find the right boy who doesn’t have dreads. The most important part of this is a boy who is not afraid of snakes. There will lots of real snakes in the scene & the boy will be required to hold 1 or 2 of them. The snakes are well trained, non venomous and there will be several animal trainers on set the entire time to ensure safety. But this will obviously require a boy who is unafraid of snakes.
this is a fun depiction of me from today. katie’s portrait looks similar, but it’s a lady vomiting for her life instead of a man.
last night as we went to sleep, katie led the charge into vomitville, with me doing my best to act as the valiant caretaker. after an incredibly restless night of sleep for both of us, i made a subconscious decision in the morning that i, too, wanted to join in the fun. hooray for throwing up!
we are just now starting to feel a little bit better. katie made dry pasta. she’s awesome.

As a sort-of addendum to the awkward Siskel and Ebert video I posted a couple of weeks ago, in which they’re really kind of nasty to each other, here’s a moving piece about Roger Ebert. I had no idea his cancer has led to an inability to eat, drink, or talk since 2006. This is very much worth reading, and there’s a nice little passage about Ebert’s love for Siskel.
back to the future being my Favorite Movie of All Time and all, i’ve thought about this stuff many-a-time. i remember seeing BTTF2 when i was 8 and thinking: “how old will i be in 2015?” (answer: 34) and, “i can’t wait for then, that’s gonna be amazing,” and “i wonder if we’ll actually have flying cars." outlook not so good on the flying cars thing, but pretty sweet to see what else it got pretty right.
the abridged version of my episode of mercy. for those who like less of a wait time between ball references.
“Karaoke-related killings are not limited to the Philippines. In the past two years alone, a Malaysian man was fatally stabbed for hogging the microphone at a bar and a Thai man killed eight of his neighbors in a rage after they sang John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Karaoke-related assaults have also occurred in the United States, including at a Seattle bar where a woman punched a man for singing Coldplay’s “Yellow” after criticizing his version.”
from the most amazing, disturbing article i’ve read in a little while. which would make for a pretty awesomely terrible horror movie.

amazing, awkward, and uncomfortable.
I thought these Hitler videos were maybe getting old. Until I watched this one. It is a delight.
