“Comedian Marty Feldman directed and co-wrote this satire of the less-scrupulous side of organized religion. Brother Ambrose (Marty Feldman) is a monk who has spent nearly his entire life within the walls of his monastery and knows little of the outside world. However, when he learns that the monastery has fallen on economic hard times and may be forced to close, he takes it upon himself to raise the funds to save his home. Ambrose ends up on Hollywood Boulevard, where he solicits donations from passers-by and gets a crash course in life in the fallen world from Mary (Louise Lasser), a smart-mouthed hooker. Ambrose and Mary soon encounter Armageddon T. Thunderbird (Andy Kaufman), a fire-and-brimstone televangelist who agrees to help Ambrose by making him a partner in his house of worship, The Church of the Divine Profit. However, Thunderbird’s methods don’t agree with Ambrose, and eventually he turns to God Himself (Richard Pryor) for help. In God We Trust was Feldman’s second and last directorial assignment; the supporting cast also includes Peter Boyle, Wilfrid Hyde-White, and Severn Darden.”

Just watched this on one of those Encore cable stations, but it’s not on Netflix. How can you not want a movie that has:

Andy Kaufman as a wealthy Preacher Man

Richard Pryor as the face and voice of God The Computer

Marty Feldman with his googly eyes

An army of men dressed like Daft Punk who beats people up for Rev. Andy Kaufman

Peter MF Boyle

I may have to buy the VHS off ebay so I can own a copy. This movie SPEAKS TO ME.

I love the white guy straight man that I’ve seen on the internets. Crossover fame will be a bumpy ride for the industry as a whole. Seriously, they can be the Jerry and Dean of the early days of web video.

You know, there’s self-promotion and then there’s being an asshole. And the line between them is easily crossed.

Here is a quick clip that was sitting on my phone from hanging out after our meeting with the RZA.

“Don’t let anyone tell you your ideas are stupid or the thing you feel most passionate about “won’t work” – it’s happened to me time and time again and we find that if you push at what you think is interesting hard enough, you’re probably right.”

We had a mini tumblr Video Geek meetup with Lizlet and Spytap (these two are some good people!), then I had a couple drinks with Star Jones. Seriously.

I also did some work out here, but the above was the Fun Work.

Like Ryan says, “Secrest out!”

Meeting tumblr buddies in LA today!

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:49:34 -0500

Get to hang with both Lizlet and Spytap! If you want to meetup, find me at the Grafton on Sunset. I don’t have a car and they are nice enough to come meet me there. We will have Mai Thais by the pool or something. It will be magical. I saw John Doe but didn’t talk to him about how we have worked on two films together. Instead I ate a steak and got drunk at Saddle Creek, where they have a mechanical bull and karaoke.

There is a joke in there somewhere.

I think it could be an awesome opportunity. I mean, do you really think everyone behind the camera actually toe the Fox Party line? Doubt it.

And you making an animation for the new Lou Dobbs show would be Talking Head Gold!

The local Fox News station is looking for a video journalist. I just sent them a cover letter along with my resume and some links to online work. How hilariously ironic is that?

“For quite a long time I had about a thousand twitter accounts I followed, and whose messages then streamed into my main twitter window in a sometimes panic-like speed. Yesterday, I then had enough of it, the noise, so I placed most of those people into different lists (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie etc), and kept 42.”

“When BitTorrent co-founder Bram Cohen was introduced at NewTeeVee’s Video Rights Roundtable this morning, interviewer Schlomo Rabinowitz asked the crowd, “How many people in the audience hate this man?” — and a few people actually raised their hands.”

- P2P: Villain Or Vilified? Bram Cohen’s Take

(Though the article is a little hyperbolic compared to what actually transpired, it wasn’t a bad conversation at all. In fact, I think people walked away understanding Bram and BitTorrent a little more.)
