LRR always stated in the past that it's a fine line between being a low budget film and looking like a low budget film. I think this is more of the latter. This video looked random and thrown together. More like something I'd fine on youTube not LRR..

When there is a huge set of posts saying they liked the t-shirt ad and then skip over the video, that says something. Yes, Andy is awesome and the ad was ridiculously funny. But that set the bar for the video and this week it just didn't deliver, imho.

It was the only thing to-hand, I believe. Andy wasn't around for very long, so the window for shooting his bits was really narrow--like, 30 minutes.


Wait if you know stuff about the shooting..... I believe you're cover is blown and I have a suspicion a new Loading Time is headed our way :D

Oh...yeah, now that I think about it, you're probably right. Disregard that, I sucks cocks.

Yeah...have you guys tried hanging thick blankets/fluffy towels on the walls of the Orbiting Underground Moon Base? They'll cut down on the echo a bit more.

Yeah, it's for next Monday's update. We "announced" it at the end of the podcast. So, September 3 you'll get to see it. Assuming I get the editing done by then, what with PAX and all...

Crap! I'll be out of the country by then & probably without net access. Oh well, something to look forward to later next month.

I'm curious, why does James' wig have a segment that looks like a brick wall?

That part of the wig is green, and that background was greenscreened. Thus, the green in the wig disappears. MOVIE MAGIC!

Could have been worse. Atleast the accusation was sock, as in singular.

this vid was great, the quality of those parody movies has been dropping to new lows and I'm glad lrr sees it too. also, was the green hair in james' wig becoming a wall intentional?

yey mr. tiddlywinks!

But that's point.. I've been relistening to old LRRCasts and in the very first one, Paul makes the point about how they wanted to make it look like they were making fun of a low budget PBS show without looking like they just didn't have any money to make a show.. I'm of the opinion that this just looks like a low budget movie.. not a no budget movie making fun of a low budget movie...

I admit, it's a thin line.
I even briefly considered doing way more intentionally shitty green screening (line around everyone, etc) but it wouldn't have looked like we were doing it intentionally, so I didn't.

Graham, every single scene with your, er,...*awkward silence*... made me think of Labyrinth with David Bowie. Wonderful movie, but way too easy to be distracted by um...other things.

Really, you've moved up the ladder for me from Robert Downey Jr. (courtesy of Cardboard Man) to David Bowie. And yes, in my mind that is an upgrade, only 1 rung below Michael Jackson. I have a very odd ranking system.

The video not only did a great job of bashing on Movie movies, it was a semi-Movie movie of LRR movies what with all the fanservice (Haha! Double Entendre) and old characters making a comeback. I absolutely love Paul's Cowboy outfit; and if that's how gorgeous our Alien Overlords are, I cannot wait until we are completely overtaken. I enjoyed the video greatly. Thank you all for continuing to produce incredibly fun films each week. I really do appreciate it.

Also: All right! First view!
I know not really, but the counter still said 0 for me when I finally watched it.

Edit: Ok, so now it has a number.

I think we've already learned that Graham has balls. Enhancing them with socks would just be ridiculous.

Wang however...

Yeah, I really doubt that's cotton :P

In regards to unmentionable things, I think Graham should have worn his dance belt/man thong for this video. Just to help get his money's worth out of it.

Sweet vid. I love me some green screen and dance fights.

That said, we should (err... maybe not) have had Morgan doing Borat in the vein of Epic Movie. Only thing I can think was missing from the vid, but possibly for our sanity's sake.
