Joe Massingill cast in Clint Eastwood's "Trouble with the Curve"

Congrats to our very own Joe Massingill, who's been cast in Clint Eastwood's upcoming Trouble with the Curve. Amy Adams, Matthew Lillard, and now Justin Timberlake are onboard. Woohoo!

Joe also starred in the Citizen Kane of short films about talking dogs, Hound Dog. Here's Joe's reel.

Lawrence's First Movie! Huzzah!

Tis true! Lawrence just shot  his first movie! Okay, the members of Lawrence of Arkansas may be hilarious, but we don't know a grip from a boom. We collaborated with some truly amazing folks--Blake Perkinson directed, Daniel Long produced, and Travis Shinn (cinematographer) and his merry men (also known as OMFTC) shot the hell out of it.

In a nutshell, this is a coming-of-age tale in the tradition of "Old Yeller" and "Where the Red Fern Grows." Pa and Uncle Johnny have to break the news to li'l Tag that he has to shoot his dog and best pal Booger. Booger, however, is no ordinary hound. He quotes Shakespeare, enjoys a good cognac, and looks extremely sexy in a smoking jacket.

Joe Massingill portrays Booger, Ryan Stanger IS Uncle Johnny, Grazi DiPaolo plays Tag, and I AM Pa.

Still lots of postproduction work to go, but we plan to submit the short to festivals. Wish us luck!

The Eight-Hour Grilled-Cheese Sandwich. Delightful!

My good pal Blake Perkinson sent me this image this morning with the attached message:

I would like to introduce you all to THE 8 HOUR GRILLED 
CHEESE SANDWHICH!

I know what your thinking, "8 hours, who's got the time?" 
But listen  
folks with the right tools it's really not that hard.

What you'll need.

2 pieces of wheat bread.
Sliced cheddar cheese
a George Forman grill.

Place your cheese slices on the wheat toast and place on
 the George Foreman Grill, close the lid, fall asleep watching
 a movie.

When you wake up in the morning, VOILA!

the 8 hour grilled cheese.
It really is that easy.

Enjoy!

Brushito: Mexico's Coming World Dominance

I was in Guadalajara not long ago, and aside from the wonderful climate (second only to Kenya!) and its proximity to Tequila, Mexico (a.k.a. Big Rock Candy Mountain), there is something else to recommend the city. Something utterly original and utterly chilling--proof that the U.S. has bigger things to fear than China's rise as a world power.

How many times have you found yourself at a fancy restaurant with a lovely person you'd like to get to know better, only to realize that your breath smells like a fisherman's ass? Those condoms in the bathroom aren't going to do you a lick of good. If you were lucky enough to find yourself in a bathroom in a Guadalajara restaurant, you might find a giant vending machine--about the size of the Monolith from 2001--filled with mysterious little plastic bubbles. And inside each tiny bubble is a tiny toothpaste, an assemble-it-yourself toothbrush, and a little flossing tool.

Brushito is cute, cheap at a mere 20 pesos, and it solves all your immediate problems. To my thinking, that's the very definition of high technology. Mexico is beating us, my friends. Prepare for the opening of the seventh seal.
