: : Which is about the best I can say. : Hey man, I was happy you watched it. : : Comedy is very subjective, so what's brilliant for Lynch isn't always going : : to be brilliant for Kev, and vice versa. But for what it's worth, here's : : my advice: I would've ended the short after the first killing (actually, : : that's not true; I would've not made the short at all). Less is more. The : : subsequent slaughters diluted the joke, and by the time you mentioned : : nuking France, you were making the audience not like you (although the : : France-bashing joke would get you rave reviews on this board; folks around : : here wax fanciful about nuking France all the time, for some strange : : reason; their vehemence seems misguided, however, as I don't think many of : : them have much experience with the French, really - outside of the fries : : and the Croissanwich). : I took the less is more philosphy to heart when shooting it actually, as when first concieved, people would walk on screen and be stabbed for no apparent reason. But, I don'T feel the need to really defend my movie because I personally thought it was funny. Though, I do feel the need to defend the French line, because they don't really matter, as beaten into my brain by my grandfather by the show of knoweledge and the belt of learning. : : Two things did make me chuckle though: the father yelling at his wife to : : get back in the kitchen (which also made Mewes chuckle); and the narrator : : (who was really, really wooden) tying a noose out of an extension cord and : : hanging himself. The tawdry cord over, say, a simple rope - that was a : : nice touch. : Thanks for that last one, but it was because I couldn't find anything else. And as for him being Wooden, that was sorta kinda the idea, but... blah, blah, blah. : : But while watching it, I said to myself (and aloud, even) "Lynch! Must... : : show... Lynch..." (or was it "Must... eat... lunch..."? I can't remember : : now). The stabs (no pun intended) at humor reminded me of 'Big Helium Dog' : : a little (maybe simply because there was a 'Timmy' in BHD too), only far, : : far less successful. I thought it might make him smile, but I'd no idea : : he'd give it the rave review he did. : Thats where I went " huh" too. I mean, I figured you'd probably just pop in the tape, say " I watched it, one day meet your dreams, thanks for the head", but I didn't think you'd watch it with mewes... or even mention it to anyone else. So i guess a thanks is in order. A huge thanks. A collosal mammoth bigger than yo mama's ass thanks. : Thank you. : : In fact, I don't think I've ever heard Brian obsess over someone else's : : work like this before. He even mentioned wanting to write with you, Bob. : : I thought he was kidding, but when I caught a glimpse of his thousand-yard, : : 'nam-like stare, I knew he wasn't being facetious. Clearly, this was a man : : in love with the caliber of the work he bore witness to. I think we're : : seeing the beginning of a new writing team here, folks. It's like when : : Jerry Juhl met Jack Burns. This is pretty exciting stuff. : : I have but one request... : : That I get invited to the wedding. : Well okay... But leave the wife at home. Not that kinda wedding. : : And just to keep things in perspective... : : Lynch loved 'Good Burger' with Keenan and Kel. : : A lot. : WALT FLANAGAN DUG IT TOO! GOODBURGER MEANS NOTHING! SO DID PAULAPALOOZA! NYEAH! : .... : I'll go now. : Bob, Lord of Evil
