guys, c'mon. You have a good thing going there, remake the joke part at the end and you could actually win!

I appreciate the humor, but you won't win if you ruin the ending like that. do it funny, but make it continuable. The acting is pretty good, and the plot is funny... RE-SUB-MIT, RE-SUB-MIT, RE-SUB-MIT

Hmm... the video isn't showing up for me... I'm running FF3, and there isn't even a player showing up. =/ maybe it'll work in a few minutes... I hope.

9/8/2008 at 3:28 p.m. by fiercedeityys

Yeah, not working for me either, so I'm thinking it's something on their end.

9/8/2008 at 3:56 p.m. by JakusB

Okay, its working now. I'm gonna have to agree with KRN, as humorous as an entry like this is, it doesn't stand much of a chance of winning. Its kind of hard to pick up from two people standing over a broken green screen...

Hmm.

I can see where the others are coming from, but this entry's a comedy, and you guys -did- legitimately make me laugh. So, props for being successful in your efforts of amusement.

You could make work off the green screen gag by pitching in a twist right after that can take us back into the story. Almost another "man-off-the-road" idea: "hey, what are you guys doing there? Don't you know there's aliens attacking?"

And then he gets vaporized.

Takers, takers? No? Well, I agree that it's left a little too open and settled at the end, but you wouldn't necessarily have to lose the joke. It also would help to start solving the story intricacies, since we're down to our last chapters to tie up every loose end... :<

Very good effort, though! I could see myself voting for this.

I think you could continue this ... It was all just a bad movie. I'd buy that for a twist. I'll also buy a vowel, Pat.

ahahaha

9/8/2008 at 6:35 p.m. by davidmoon

I thought it was campy, fun and well done. I like it. Is it a winner? Could be ... Maybe not ... We'll see.

9/8/2008 at 7:30 p.m. by zabs3205

WOW i got like 10 comments on this thing haha thanks people. I agree with the ending. not gunna lie. but i saw it as whoever DOES come up with the next chapter would have to get really creative, and plus i think it could be very funny. so in that sense, it could be a wide door to whole new chapter. plus, you can't beat a moving background with two people running and one just standing. that's just funny. haha. thanks again for the comments people. i appreciate the feedback.

9/8/2008 at 9:57 p.m. by davidmoon

Yes, it's a slow night ...

9/8/2008 at 10 p.m. by zabs3205

you're telling me bro lol

9/8/2008 at 10:08 p.m. by davidmoon

Les will let you put his wife in your clip for $3,500 a day (plus expenses) for a quick re-edit before deadline. She'll guarantee a win, but there's a few creative limitations ... Regardless of the role she takes on, she must be revealed in the end to be a hot alien, then gift an ordinary object (I don't think we've covered an Igloo cooler, or waffle iron yet) with special extraterrestrial powers that will ultimately save humanity ... and she must refer to everyone by the name Tony.

It's a good deal, if you ask me. And it would fit in your clip perfectly!

9/8/2008 at 10:42 p.m. by davidmoon

I love you Les. :)

9/8/2008 at 10:49 p.m. by zabs3205

hahahaha wonder where THAT came from!

9/8/2008 at 11:04 p.m. by davidmoon

We all kid Les. Sometimes it's downright mean though.

9/8/2008 at 11:44 p.m. by jhonnyonthespot

you make me sick.....that's all

9/8/2008 at 11:54 p.m. by zabs3205

a bit harsh, but okay

9/9/2008 at 12:02 a.m. by davidmoon

I make you sick?

9/9/2008 at 12:10 a.m. by davidmoon

This video makes you sick? Hey, I'm like Rockstar with the individual thoughts on repetitive comments. Sorry about that.

9/9/2008 at 3:09 a.m. by JakusB

Haha, my plan for continuing Black in Black was to make the guy in black Tony Kingston, and show that he was just like everyone else and the power went to his head...

9/9/2008 at 3:29 p.m. by jhonnyonthespot

if your going for bad at least do bad well.

moon you know i have no bad things to say about you! i just ...i don't even know what to say . this video clearly had the resources to do something good ,and by do bad well i mean take it in a direction of way way over the top ,cause at the beginning i just thought this was a bad film . i didn't get that you meant to be "funny" till the end . by the point i understood what you where trying to do i was already fed up with it.

 these type of entrys make me mad just cause if i didn't have a MIA camera these are the kind of videos you pray for ...as competition.     my video should be up in a day or so l,eft fieldish but with the xl1 on the disabled list tis all youl get for now.
9/9/2008 at 3:31 p.m. by jhonnyonthespot

9/9/2008 at 3:33 p.m. by jhonnyonthespot

finnaly for som reason wouldnt post,well im out for the day bbl

9/9/2008 at 5:25 p.m. by fiercedeityys

Interesting idea, but I'm not really into it. However, for what you were aiming for, it was well done. Just not my cup of tea, so to speak.

9/9/2008 at 11:57 p.m. by cattheif

Wow, the end.......

9/10/2008 at 12:43 a.m. by davidmoon

@jhonny You must of hated it. I usually cannot make sense of your posts when you think something really sucks ... like in this case. I think you should submit the video of your camera falling off the tripod ... haha, just kidding.

9/10/2008 at 5:34 p.m. by jhonnyonthespot

oh moon

9/10/2008 at 6:39 p.m. by jaytaylorthe1

@Jhonny You REALLY shouldn't be so critical of this clip. "sick" "mad" you haven't even submitted a worthy clip....... broken camera or not. you need to pay respect to the people who spend their time on our entertainment. get over yourself or put your skills where your mouth is. YOU make me sick.

9/11/2008 at 5:43 p.m. by Hueh

THis is the eighth entry I watched this afternoon - I thought it was a good crack at humor which is oftentimes lacking. THe seventy gun shots - funny - -the stopping to run at the end with the camera still going - funny - the break-thro - funny - but then it just stopped like "what should we do now??" Not much to filming it, but I could hear it which some of the other entries I could not understand due to poor enunciation (ie:"Nowhere to RUn", Wrong Place, Wrong Time and Abduction" all had some problems with enunciation), so this was a relief in that regard.

9/12/2008 at 1:24 a.m. by bobmcgee

The beginning made it clear why this is in last place. The ending was really funny though.

9/12/2008 at 5:48 p.m. by Ohhhh

I agree bobmcgee, sometimes there is nothing better than some good ol' fashioned film comedy

9/14/2008 at 10:12 p.m. by zabs3205

well i gotta be honest, i didn't think i'd place dead last

9/15/2008 at 5:59 a.m. by Anton

you're right zabs. The position of your clip should be higher! I think it was REALLY funny how you were running in front of the green screen and the one guy stopped running. You got my vote! ;)

9/15/2008 at 9:26 a.m. by zabs3205

thanks Anton!

9/15/2008 at 7:30 p.m. by zabs3205

i placed lasy anyways lol
