Blog 199! (Contest Blog 33)

This month’s competition winner, Matt Jones, is a great comedy actor, check out his stuff below…

Now don’t worry! There is no consistent story in his video, it’s a three minute long SHOWREEL. If you attempt to link all the sections of his work together in a logical fashion, you will drive yourself insane or at least come up with a concept that’s pretty rubbish. Topics about Mr. Grinch; dancing at a party; bibles; and threatening people with uzis could only very rarely all fit into a whole sitcom episode and a surreal one at that, you will likely never see such variety in a traditional sketch. Not even from me. Maybe Matt’s project could develop into a full-length, Christmas-themed drama/thriller flick, but in this safe day and age where only films that are sure to be successes are produced, I can’t imagine any movie companies being at all interested in it. He would need to completely start from scratch. (I suggest cutting the uzis, first). I’m also a person who has been told needs to simplify things so don’t be sad. Just stick to dancing alone, maybe. Dancing is nice.

And note how I said ‘don’t worry’ almost immediately. That was a genuine act of kindness on my part. Maybe that’s something Matt could have done more with. Singing about Mr. Grinch is all good and fine, but you can’t insult him with such vulgar language. Children would be offended! (Hopefully). Or at least their parents would be. (Hopefully). Children’s films will have to take a really dark turn if Matt’s take on them becomes popular. I have to be honest, I hope that doesn’t happen. But he’s a smart individual who has actually won this prestigious contest once before, so I’m sure he will do the right thing and make amends. Then again, a man who repeatedly shoots himself just to prove a point, may not listen to rational thought. Then again again, his actions made people run away, which is I assume what he wanted, so maybe he would listen to reason. Good man. Let’s talk business. Actually now that I think of it, showing a gruesome video to a dancing girl in an attempt to chat her up could never work (hopefully times a thousand), so maybe this person isn’t as smart as I thought. It’s all very complicated. I know this blog is a bit of a ramble.

Ok! How to change the subject? This is a little tricky as I’ve used all my mini anecdotes in my latest blogs, but I’ll try. Hm. Ok, it’s not a great story, but I knocked one of my drink glasses over, breaking it. No, that won’t do. (Though it did inspire a monologue). Er. Alright I know. I recently bought ‘Loveless’ by My Bloody Valentine off of Amazon, and some lunatics are trying to sell it for over a thousand pounds. Fortunately I spotted a copy for about forty. The strange thing is, the record is supposed to be the best shoegaze album of all time! It’s lack of availability could suggest to others it’s not very good despite the honour, indeed they may suspect the whole genre is a load of balls. Not to worry, I checked the first song on Youtube and I have to say I’m looking forward to the rest of it. (I’m saving it for my birthday). That story was better than nothing I suppose, so let’s end things, here! (Sorry if I disappointed you by not talking about my glass. Maybe that’s for another blog). Bye! Oh and I’ve just had a milkshake for the first time in ages! Yes! Bye!
