This video was awesome:

I liked the quick cuts and the promo, the voices and look, I really, really liked this video ^^

So I haven't posted here in a very long time.

This video was excellent. Alex makes a really good mercenary, a little too good...

HOLY CRAP!

This video was pretty brilliant. Alex's performance was amazing considering its not something I would imagine as a good character for him. Perhaps the goggles are in place to prevent the excess escape of awesome?

Also, I loved Graham as the Arthur Pewty-esque cuckold character, especially the little deadpan corrections of the assasins' plans. (Alex: "...slowly stalking his elite complement of bodyguards..." Graham: "Welsh Corgi.") Kathleen indeed is being featured in the gun show, Paul's meek assassin was giggle-worthy, and Ray's delivery gave the commercial sold the campy parody. Well done!
I tend to be overly apologetic. Sorry about that.

Ah, that was great, I liked the list of command don'ts. The ad was great too, especially how Brad keeps looking into the camera.

Also, Alex! Again!

No, it means he cocked it, then decocked it, etc.

Fantastic - I saw the preview pic and thought "Why would Kathleen be Rambo?". Well, I have my answer.

Awesome video. This really raises the bar for this season.

Question: Who bought the cigar and was it ever smoked?

But seriously, that cigar tasted like dried cinnamon dogshit.

I actually like how Graham used ALL the cuts where I'm cocking the pistol - it makes it more like one of those retarded action movies.

Alex, you realize you now need to do a Metal Gear Video with you being Snake doing things he shouldn't

EDIT: Third Alex week in a Row=Win

LRR needs more Alex vids. Is another Alex week possible?

Or do both.

I think this video gets to go in the Pythonesk category.

I vote for Raymond and the Chocolate Factory.

I also was curious if Graham would turn to Story Guy for help...

This reminds me of Roger Ebert's review of the Jackal, where he talks about how the Jackal is a superoverachiever and is asking for too much to kill someone and is making it far too complicated (although at least he's a political assassin)

When Graham said, "we'd never guess the preview pic," I really thought the video wouldn't involve her as a tough chick. Yeah, we'd never guess, but it wasn't as out there are Flasher Nate.

Also, Paul at the end was brilliant. I'm laughing just thinking about it.

Alex didn't appear in Time is Money, so it's not three in a row.

This is not a statement saying I wouldn't adore three in a row, however.

I would think killing an accountant over a case of adultery would be beneath Story Guy unless you were the Sultan of Brunei. This reminds me of the time I was white water rafting in the Hindu Kush with Johnny Depp when we encountered ....

Yes he did, he was the professor that blended money and time

Alex *was* in 'Time is Money' as the scientist who discovered that time and money are the same thing.
