Wow. Very funny.

TheBuck · 01-08-2010, 05:21 PM

That shit was funny as hell. Oh my god he pops up with "cum" on his face!

Dreadylocks · 01-08-2010, 07:58 PM

Hilarious and really refreshing! I love the suggestive nature

cwags · 01-09-2010, 12:39 PM

hahaha, im glad you guys enjoyed it so much it was definitely alot of fun to film!

Ghattprod · 01-09-2010, 01:52 PM

thats a lot of gay bj jokes but still its rather funny. Sadly, i don't think Klondike will ever go for that. I always wanted to film a Long John Silvers Commercial where the catch phrase is "Long John Silvers, thats some good shit"
Good luck to you guys on future stuff.

Had some outrageous gags, but I wouldn't call it a Klondike parody.

Klondike's commercials look like this: Klondike commercial

They made scores of them, just like it, following the exact same formula: No, maybe, yes, eat/enjoy.

It's definitely a ripe target for parody - but simply slapping the jingle before a series of outlandish statements & actions doesn't neccesarily make it one, if the basic defining outline of the original concept has been ignored.

yeah your right, i guess parody wasnt the right word.

M1chae1 · 01-11-2010, 07:09 AM

Hmmm...lot's of positive feedback, and that's always a good thing. I personally didn't like it at all. I felt it was vulgar to be vulgar, the things that were said weren't original, and the overall quality of the production was super low (what was with that sticking pan left?).

Ya, and it's not a parody.

I'm glad to see you guys are picking up a camera, and trying to make things happen, and kudos for that.

cwags · 01-11-2010, 05:28 PM

i can see where you're coming from M1chae1, the joke wasnt meant to come off as vulgar just to be vulgar. the joke was supposed to mock the fact that people are willing to do ridiculous things for klondike bars when they can just go to store and buy them for pretty cheap. i thought the more ridiculous and over the top the situations were the funnier it would be. but i can definitely see where you're coming from.

and i for sure agree that the quality was very poor, haven't made to many videos, lol

Alright Michaei (that is how you spell your name I assume, why else would you have the same number for two different letters...that would just be dumb), I don't know if you've heard of this new craze called comedy but vulgar seems to be a pretty large part of what's popular, not to mention funny. So I apologize if your grandmother doesn't like the video but if you'd just turn off your silent film for a second to watch a modern movie you'll understand what I'm talking about. As far as the production quality you're talking about, not everyone was born with a golden spoon in their hand and has the newest camera or best editing software. Besides what would you know about production? Where are your films? You're an actor. Word of advice...just stick to the script.

I see you're cwags' friend, perhaps you worked on the production since your only posts are giving his shorts rave reviews.

cwags handled the criticism fine, but your post shows your immaturity not being able to handle criticism. When you grow up you'll learn that reviews are opinions and everyone here is entitled to their opinion. No need to attack someone for posting theirs. Go back to YouTube.

I understand what you're saying, you're right everyone is entitled to their opinions. Friend of cwags or not, I think that M1chae1's reaction to the video was a little too smug to be a respectable criticism. I might have gone over the top a bit but I'm not about to sit back and let someone talk down to another member, simply because of a lack of resources instead of skill. This is Indietalk, not Oscartalk.

I'm sorry if my critisism seemed harsh...I don't believe in sugar-coating on these boards. This is a board of (mostly) serious filmmakers, who are looking to learn from one another, and realize this industry is harsh...it does no one any good to splash positives onto a project that doesn't deserve it.

Listen, I'm not a prude, and I enjoy a bit of loose, adult language. But there is a massive difference between well-written adult humor, and unintelligent, uncreative, and obvviously rushed dialog, with the pure goal of shock value. That's not filmmaking, I'm sorry. And I'll be honest about that.

And if you noticed, I did give a positive praise at the end of my post, as encouragement. This industry is abrasive and hard-knock...if you're going to personally insult every reviewer or audience memeber that didn't like your movie, well then you're in the wrong industry--as IndieTalk said, 'Go back to Youtube.'

Cheers.
