I don’t know if this is a joke, but I find this picture hilarious. I imagine a similar scene takes place in Philly at the top of the Rocky steps. Arms outstretched.

Howdy folks. Wanted to clue you in to something I’ve been working on lately. Recently, I executive produced a new web series for WeddingCentral.com. Wedding Central is the sister network of WE tv and has positioned itself as all wedding programming, all the time. We had a few bucks lying around at the end of 2009 and decided to do an original online series as a companion to the network.
Bridal Breakdown is what came out of it. And what better way to be a dude at a women’s network then by creating a bridal prank show? Essentially, Punk’d for brides. We told these women they were being filmed for a documentary on weddings in NY, but as the cameras rolled, we rolled in our pranksters to wreak havoc on these unsuspecting brides. The wedding industry is big business and many women these days take themselves a little too seriously when it comes to the big day. I think BB works as a light-hearted approach to taking a step back and realizing this is a time to celebrate, not be a bridezilla. Yeah right! Messing with people is just too much fun. Pranking a bride isn’t THAT mean is it?
The show went live on Monday, February 8th. It’s gotten a little press here and there. But today we were picked up by Entertainment Tonight for a special segment to air tonight at 7:30pm on CBS, with possibly maybe others in the coming weeks. That’s pretty cool for a web only show! Mary Hart might be talkin’ ’bout our show. Mary Friggin’ Hart. She’s been doin’ this since ’82.
You can watch the first episode below. We’ll release one each Monday on WeddingCentral.com for the next six weeks. Try not to cringe too much. Enjoy!
…but awesome at sound design.
A couple girls re-dubbed some movies with their own sound effects. This is adorable.

Funny “Making Of” video for the Avatar bootleg.
Read MoreI hadn’t seen Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in a few years. It is clearly my least favorite movie in the entire Star Wars series, but I don’t remember hating it as so many do. However, after watching this brilliant 70 minute video review of that film, I don’t think I’ll ever need to or want to watch it again.
Narrated by a character who sounds like a cross between Steven Wright and The Joker from The Dark Knight, the review is actually a really intriguing dissection of movie making in general. In addition, it is a love letter to the original trilogy, and a challenge to Lucas himself. Comparing the prequels to the original trilogy just makes you realize how wonderful those original films are. The review uses a lot of archival footage and tacky visuals with a healthy dose of some very dark comedy as well. The narrator is portrayed as a somewhat dim man who hates his son and has murderous tendencies. But the review still comes off as very witty and insightful, even if I don’t necessarily agree with it 100%. Maybe 98%. It feels more like a documentary than anything else. It’s some kind of hybrid thing.
LOST producer Damen Lindelof is quoted as saying this about the review, ““Your life is about to change. This is astounding film making. Watch ALL of it.”
Indeed, I watched the first part and couldn’t stop watching. It was a quick 70 minutes. It’s so much more than a mere movie review.
So if you are interested, this should get you started…
