Laura. Don't know where you got Sarah from. And no, they were based in LA, these people are local.

Laura and Sarah are the names of my Brawler and Ronin in Disgaea >_< plus it was like 3am.

Awesome vid guys. I like the addition of another female (if maybe only fleeting) to the LRR crew. Welcome Laura!

P.S. - Am I the only one who thought she resembles Samus Aran? Very nice!

Hello everyone,

I'm Laura (the girl in the video.) Thank you for all your positive feedback, as well as some constructive criticism, (Dutch Guy.) This is basically my first film besides being tormented in my film class on not blinking at all. I'm a stage actress around town and also a playwright, and I meet some of the Loading Ready Run guys at the fringe festival a couple years ago. I really liked there sketches and I wanted to work with them since I was doing live sketch company at the time. So it's only now that I have the time to really start working with Loading Ready Run.

Thanks again, and I hope you'll see me in more.

Welcome Laura!

Allow me to extend a welcome to the LRR forums and the LRR cast! Hope to see you again in more videos. We need more estrogen to counteract the massive amounts of testosterone coming from Morgan. XD

Since when did Morgan exude testosterone?

Well, now you've done it. Paul and Laura will now have to fight to the death in the name of massive fanboy wankage. Seriously, Gordan Freeman vs Samus Aran? that would make my life complete.

Throw in Mogran in the bearsuit and youll cover ALL the sexual preference bases. =P

Laura, you're welcome :-P

. I myself enjoy doing some stage-acting once in a while, but I've spent most of my time so far doing backstage stuff (stage-hand, lighting-guy, etc)

One thing sprang to mind when I read your comment, you are comming from a stage-acting background which explains the weird "feeling" I was having. It was all just a little unnatural over-the-top. On stage that's a real good thing, it's needed to get the message to the audience, on a video it can look just a little weird if you pay attention to it. (that's probably why it looked a little stiff to me) You were still doing a good job, no doubt about it, but be natural on video, no need to really exegarate anything.

One of the reasons I notice this is that I really hate dutch films because they are all acted by people with a stage-play background, meaning all acting is just a little exagarated and over the top, too much soundeffects and a somewhat static use of camerangles. Somehow, nobody in the dutch filmindustry seems to notice that acting in films is not the same as playing in a stage-play :-p

All the acting was great but the movie phailed on the lols. Could have been better.

Yay. More pissed off Paul.

Oh. And I always seem to get the 2,557th view for some reason. Every time.

It doesn't lack in humor, but it's of a more cerebral style.

Consider Futurama compared to Family Guy: fewer guffaws, but a sweet and pleasing aftertaste that can be savored long after the first bloom of novelty has passed away.

Paul's angry rant was people who make shitty "art" films. I, for one, HATE when my comedy writing skill is attributed to drugs.

Apologies Graham, I know it was one of you two that got really angry at it. Well, I recall someone agreeing with you at least when you said it....my mind says it was Paul agreeing with you, but it could be anyone.

Dashing shirted graham is dashing. Seriously, that shirt right at the beginning was awesome

I think I remember that shirt from a Story Guy video..

It goes well with 'The Vest'

Must have been an aftereffect of finding his first chest hair.

I don't know if this is true for anyone else, but the podcast made this video make MUCH more sense to me. I guess I never really caught on to that "Fail!" thing. Too much intertwining with the Phailhaus, I guess.

Anyway, now that I get it, it's a really good video!

-=Nate the Great=- · Postby **-=Nate the Great=-** » 04 Apr 2008, 11:01

I aspire to be Morgan's character in this video. Ron Stevens anybody?

I also enjoyed Laura's performance. Being an actor myself, I can understand how different it is switching from live performances to filmed ones. Nevertheless, the same principles apply(ie. memorizing lines, getting facial expressions right) and it's not easy. Great job, Laura! You're off to a good start!

What you talkin' 'bout, EVERYONE.

Plus, we need to throw Gary Coleman into that fight. And Siegfried or Roy. Then we'll have the black, dwarf, and gay preferences covered!

How the hell do we start talking about this stuff anyway?

AlexanderDitto · Postby **AlexanderDitto** » 04 Apr 2008, 19:10

I loved Laura, and, in fact, all the performances in this video. Morgan was spot on. The execution was good, I just... didn't lol. D: Maybe because I could see a company actually doing this, and I was horrified.

Oh well. I guess it's just not my FAVORITE VIDEO EVAH.
