A MOVIE MYSTERY
how is this for a story?
about a year or so ago i filmed a couple of pieces for a NATIONAL LAMPOON movie which was to be titled TOTALLY BAKED. it was to be about marijuana and one of the things i did for the cameras was "world's greatest dope story." i nailed it. afterwards people from nl came up to me and said they were going to use that as the opening of the movie. cool. bu i didn't really believe them because the piece is too long and would take up too much of the movie. as i had understood it the movie was going to have a plot and characters and in addition to that, stand up comedy and so, this was filmed at the improv in LA and a lot of really good comics were there, some of the best in the business. but nonetheless i nailed it. and a lot of them nailed theirs. but whatever, i had laid down, on film, a really good rendition of that piece.
so, every time i would check on the movie, no-one really seemed to know when and even if the movie was going to come out. first it was last fall, then maybe the winter, maybe the sring and after a while i figured it just hadn't panned out for what ever reason. so imagine my surprise when i got an invitation to the premier of the TOTALLY BAKED MOVIE. (no national lampoon is mentioned so somebody may have just taken it over) it is for tomorrow night and according to this email i do have something in the movie. we shall see. rhonda and i are going to l.a. first thing in the morning.
you know, with my resume being what it is and all those things i have done, i could now say, "and got my first movie part when i was 64>" i am just tickled. how ever this all comes out it is going to be another good story.
so, friends and fans, brothers and sisters and others who may have just dropped in, i will keep you posted. stay tuned.

Let me guess. ... Instead of a "fade" or a "wipe" all the transitions between scenes are giant close-ups of you going "oh, wow" and that's all that ended up making the movie?
Congratulations on the movie,look forward to updates. On another mater know you are an avid sports fan and like the odd sport bet so who do you like in the World Cup Cricket?
