'The Horribly Slow Murderer With The Extremely Inefficient Weapon' -- a short comedy film (with a long title!) in which I played the leading role -- has just been (unofficially) posted (by some dude in Budapest!) on YouTube and is getting great responses. But the director (the talented Richard Gale) and I only heard about this because of the following post on the front page of today's 'Daily Dish' blog by Andrew Sullivan: http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/03/murder-by-spoon.html It also gives a link to both the director's web-page on the film -- http://www.richard-gale.com -- and to the film itself. But the actual YouTube page with the various feedback, etc. is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJZQZARGq5M However, be sure to click the little button underneath that says "HQ", 'cause then you'll see a high-def version that looks a lot sharper, though you may need to wait for it to fully load first or it may keep seizing up on you, depending on your computer. ANYWAY, my home tiki lounge -- Paradise Cove -- (viewable in detail on both this site and Critiki) makes a very brief cameo appearance in the film during the "again and again and again" section (YOU'LL know what that is once you've seen it) in which a gun goes off with the twinkling tiki lights and glowing green pufferfish, etc., in the background. Freeze-frame it and you'll get a better look! Well, the film has been doing super well at various festivals and just won THREE awards a couple weeks ago at The Beverly Hills Shorts Festival, including the grand prize of Best Film In Festival out of 61 movies in all genres! And we have about a dozen more festivals coming up throughout the year, so I'm pretty jazzed, needless to say! Okay -- that's the deal. And enjoy the flick! But -- WARNING: it DOES have some bits of blood and violence and adult language if you're ultra sensitive to that kind of thing, but it's fairly mild by current R-rated film standards. Also, it's in the form of a faux coming-attractions TRAILER, so don't be confused -- i.e., in THIS case, the trailer IS the movie!
