As we previously promised, here is the first video highlight from the Mep Reporters, filmed on location at Eagle Studios. We’ll post several more of these highlights over the coming weeks, and will have the edited audio version available here soon. Here the Meppers discuss the finer points of Krull, a movie Russ has inexplicably never seen.
The Meppers Navigate Down a Brook/Stream/Tributary of Troubles; Deeeeoooo; Greg, Neil Gaiman, and Bathtubs; Storey’s Great Society, or All Maim All the Time; Mep Mayhem; Analog Memorials in a Digital Age; and Shakespeare Pays a Visit.
This piece started as a snippet from some footage that Storey and I shot of ourselves while playing FIFA. I have no idea why this is what it is now. Sometimes, the editing tools decide for you…
Specifically, promotion of Greg’s new novel, just released by Five Star Press. The Third Sign, a work of epic fantasy called “a very satisfying tale from an intriguing new voice” by Bram Stoker award winning author David Niall Wilson and “memorable…gripping…if this book is any indication, the author is in for a long and successful career” by reviewers from The Beezer Review to SFFWorld to Library Journal, has gotten positive pre-publication attention, and if you have any interest in fantasy (or in supporting a Mep Reporter 😉 ), please stop by Greg’s personal webpage for information on how to order the book. And thanks in advance for putting up with a bit of self-promotion!
UPDATE 3/28: Hi there. Welcome to our little podcast/blog project. Due to last night’s BoingBoinging, we seem to have a lot of new visitors. So after you read about our shot across the bow of AIG, you might wanna check out some of our other features, like one of our 100+ podcast episodes. Here’s a good sample to start with.
Anyway, thanks for visiting. Feel free to leave comments and feedback and let us know how we can improve the Emu. END UPDATE
For those of you who are good parents and don’t let your child(ren) watch t.v. or who have no child(ren) and therefore you don’t watch kids shows, then you may not know that Sesame Street knows where it’s at. They know that adults are also watching and therefore plan accordingly. They have Hollywood and sports stars do cameos. Elmo tosses in little jokes and puns that only an adult would understand.
Many other shows, on the other hand, do not, and this makes for either annoying or embarrassingly funny moments. Hence, this post thanks to the show “My Friend Rabbit” that our Tivo recorded thinking we might like it and that I watched, then deleted before showing Senavene because it’s retarded and stupid. But before deleting it, I made you a little edited clip. I hope you enjoy. Whether you see what I see and giggle your *&$% off…or you don’t see what I see and enjoy the educational cartoon…either way…enjoy. Please note, that if you are one of those that sees what I see, I highly recommend watching it again and again, each time catching more little silly moments fitting the theme.
Fortunately Brandeis came to its senses about the Rose Museum kerfuffle a few weeks ago, but alumni just got a message from the president which was intended to “clear up some of the misconceptions surrounding these issues.” I only bring it up here briefly because I get annoyed when other factors–meteors, locusts, a terrible flood–get blamed for something instead of the real culprit, in this case the administration itself.
Russ and the Christmas Curse, Greg Calls Natural Laws Out, What If God Was a Baby, Russ Goes to the Island of Dr. Santa Claus, Russ is No Longer a Fan of Cheese, Russ is Hit Over the Head With a Yuletide Log, 11 Months of Sanity Out of 12 Isn’t So Bad, Clea Calls the West Coast Out (Again), and Gandalf Claus.
Resurrecting this old Mep relic for your enjoyment. This was a copy of an online dating profile that I had authored to see what kind of reaction a completely contrarian (and wildly cranky) profile would get.
