Bryan Fox"No Destination: The Nirvana Reunion Tour" by Spare Parts Productions - Reviewed on July 27th, 2009
I was hoping to save my comments for a review show, but it doesn't look like I'll get around to doing one for July.
First, many people on the site are vouching that this should have been a HW. Had there been more submissions of this quality, I'd have to side with Justin on this being a LW, but since this was the only LW for July, I felt that was unfair.
As for the subject matter, it's cool, but I could tell there were some jokes I wasn't getting because I'm not a hardcore fan of Nirvana.
00:08 I recognize that music from freeplay.com. Nice!
I'm torn on whether or not the announcer should have said these were lost tapes. It's pretty obvious it is from the way you did the static.
00:40 The "are we there yet" gag is horrendously played out in just about every form of media. So was the 99 bottles song. I felt the first half of the "tapes" were completely unnecessary and wasted time that could have better been used.
Things do start to get genuinely funny at right before the halfway mark. The two man band on stage was great and I REALLY liked that you went through the effort to change venues.
03:00 The hitchhiker part was pretty funny. I liked the Cobain clone you found.
Don't get discouraged though. Keep at it and submit one for next month.
*Could have been better used.

This was cute. Don't know why you thought it should have been a LW. This is another great example of the "less is more" strategy. The translations were cute (and I even noticed you flipped it to English first for the white guy). The music was catchy too. What did you do it up in?
I didn't say "light weight" -- just "middle weight" ! much diff than LW
I was actually referring to Hippo's opinion of their own movie. I'll agree with Justin that theirs and ours should be MW's if there were more entries, but now I'm going to have to retract my opinion since I found out this movie has pre-existed for six months.
Bryan Fox"Destination ...Nowhere??!!!" by Willamette Filmmakes Society - Reviewed on July 27th, 2009

First off, VERY NICE camera and great acting on behalf of the bum. I understand that you're trying to parody the various movies you pulled the music from, but using non-indie music or non-original music is a big negative in my eyes. Where did you shoot the bar scene? That looked real old timey.
02:10 The guys should have looked WAY soggier. I loved the bridge gag though.
You had some gorgeous scenes in that montage that followed. On the map, you should have figured out some way that the line following the arrow wouldn't have gotten so jaggy.
The tongue in the tree and LOTR gag was not funny at all to me.
04:30 That chest wasn't very well concealed, but as seen in my road trip movie, not everything needs to make sense in a comedy.
I didn't care for the Hasselhoff gag. I think you could have came up with something much funnier or more shocking than a half naked guy in the box.
I agree with Wee Scogg's review in that your technical aspects are right on the money, but the story should be beefed up a bit. I felt the acting was fine. Friends are all most of us have to work with and just the fact they got in front of a camera shows balls on their part.
Well that would have to be the most drug induced smack talk I've ever seen. I like how you didn't address that you broke the rules and uploaded an entry six months old.
Oh, and don't play dumb about cheating. If you can figure out how to do a podcast and a live videocast, you can figure out how to clear a cookie folder. If I was cheating like you claim in your smack-talk, I wouldn't have been dumb enough to tell the whole world how easy it is; I would have done it myself and then bragged like a poser when I 'won'. We'll see what the voting situation is now that accounts are required for voting.
It's nice to see that our group leader Bryan Fox has touched such a sensitive spot on your bedsore. And with all your "quick wit" so demonstrated in your smack talk (which is all about Bryan) it sure does make me appreciate that you haven't fired back any oh so painful responses to our calling you out. Thank you for your mercy, oh Masterful Film Gods.

Winning a free online festival three times in a row by voting multiple times and acting like complete assholes while doing it, you're right ... nuff said. That's a great was to get exposure to ones work.
Why don't you guys just make good product and let that speak for itself? Just because people can hear the spoiled kid cry and yell for attention, doesn't mean they listen or care.
You guys are trash.
It really is unbelievable that some people can not take a joke. I was under the impression that smack talk was supposed to be taken as "Tongue in Cheek" .
As far as the voting goes if you have any proof to back up that statement please show it to me.
The Fact is yes we have a lot of votes, we also have a Podcast and 2 websites with a good amount traffic which we advertise our Film Fights on.
I truly am sorry if I struck a nerve.
I will make sure to include a winky face at the end of my sarcastic post next time.
P.S. This is a Free online festival? I have been racking in thousands! ;)
What I find unbelievable is your groups collective ego, and the delusional world all you d-bags hail from.
A podcast and 2 websites? Really? Wow, you guys are SOOO f-ing cool. I mean, you guys have a podcast and two websites. I guess that means you made it right? You're famous, right? In todays world with all of this technology, it's beyond me how you guys figured out how to buy a custom domain, put up a ugly website, and host a podcast. Maybe one day I too can be popular enough to offer the world a clipart mousepad and bumper sticker of my fake "Production Company".
How do you guys do it. And why do you waste your time bothering with us below you. You guys are the true vanguards of the internet revolution. This film should of been submitted to Sundance.
There is a fine line between "Tongue in Cheek" and complete "Douchbaggery"
What struck my nerve is not one act, but a collection of things highlighting the arrogance and childish behavior of your group.
You want proof? The proof is in the pudding.
Here are some facts...
You guys had almost 500 votes. As of today (9/29/09 One month after the competition ended) you guys have 281 views on Vimeo. That means you clip has been collecting hits for almost a full month after the fight ended. So lets say you had 100 views since. So by the time the fight ended, you guys had 181 views.
181 views / 500 votes in your favor ..... I smell something fishy.
You guys are trash
winky face
I was only referring to the podcast and the sites as a rebuttal to your accusation of cheating. I am not bragging about just saying that is why we had so many votes. I still don't get why you are mad.
Jealous?
Absolutely, but please don't tell anyone. Because I would be so embarrassed.
I wish I would of came up with Master Queef Theater. How do you guys do it? I'm in awe. Your originality inspirational. And those video promos are awe inspiring. Maybe you should sell the idea to Conan O'Brien, you guys would make hella cash.
And way to go following an online tutorial and using prebuilt assets and taking compliments like its your own work. I'm talking about your tie haiku.
Tutorials are there to learn from and you'd be a real idiot if you didn't use them to improve your work. I'm guessing you know we used a tutorial because of the credit we gave to the person on our youtube page. Are you trying to say we didn't give credit.Your right we didn't on filmfights and I'm sorry for that. I didn't know I was going to be on trial for it. My attorney has advised me not to speak to you directly. All forms of contact must go through him. winky face ;)
Mitch, this is Nathan. I don't understand your comment. "Haven't fired back about you calling us out". Am I mistaken, because I thought we agreed to a fun little filmfight between the two of us. Our older version of play is on youtube for everyone to see, we have nothing to hide. You seem to know the rules better than Justin. For example Platt22 last month submitted an older film he had created for the detective theme. I understand the urge to create something new but I thought this site was intended to get exposure to ones work. I do enjoy your sarcasm and frustration. Let the anger out, I think it will make your films better.
Platt22 announced his movie was old and Justin LW'd it per his rules. I don't "know the rules better than Justin." I guarantee this would have been a LW if Justin knew it was 6 months old. Be careful what you wish for.
Looking back, yes your right my mistake. I thought he was hwed. Being new to the site we still don't know all the rules and proper behavior. In all honestly we've been joking with you. We thought you were a guy who could take it and dish it. A lot of your comments are very funny, like when someone critiqued your acting you said "tom cruise wasn't available" and we thought this is a guy who gets it. I'm not trying to cheat or make enemies. Please let me know if I've been out of line or what you want to do about the video that is bothering everyone.
Exactly! That is what I have been trying to say! We are just screwing around. Even in our review video calling Bryan Fox out was just a joke. It was like a wrestling heal calling out Hulk Hogan.
This is just how we joke around. I can see now that it has not been perceived that way.
That's exactly what it's like: wrestling and politics. Like Jessie Ventura said, in wrestling and politics, everyone hates each others guts in front of the camera, but once you get behind closed doors, you find out everyone is best friends and is having dinner with one another. That's how I want us to be like, but I'm also a sportsman and have respect for the rules. Looking over your website, it's pretty impressive and I think it could be feasible for you to win, so if you win the Haiku fight fair and square, I'll take my cheating comments back. My Filmfights Fight movie is going to make fun of this whole fiasco and I think you'll love it.
We are going in the same route. Making fun of this whole thing. Honestly we have no ill-will towards anybody. We just just like to have some fun.
Eat a turd sandwich and then brush your teeth with yurine.
Go buy a dictionary. Learn how to spell urine.
*Shamefully bows head and walks away from thread.*
I agree Nate is a boob
