From his journal, "That's right, just when you think we couldn't go any lower, we found a way of doing just that! This blog crap sure is a waste of time, so I decided to put up some webisodes! My very own show with my love partner, Kooks Leonard. "JOHNNY AND KOOKS" is a fun romp through your mama. So check it out, it's snuggled away oh so safe and unobtrusively in the "Multi Media" section of this very cesspool-I mean, website. So check it out, it couldn't be more of a waste of time than the Starlet or Surreal Life, and don't even try and say you ain't watching both of those. It's sure to be the sleeper (if sleep=coma) hit of the season. If you're contemplating suicide, I suggest NOT watching it, as it may literally push you over the edge. enjoy!"

Posted: 4/12/05 at 1:13pmOh god... should I have a shot of something particularly strong nearby, to get me through this when I watch it later?

Posted: 4/12/05 at 1:59pmIt's video and audio. And this is just the unaired pilot, with many more webisodes to come

Posted: 4/12/05 at 3:25pmUm, I watched John's video, and first of all I noticed (and I didn't go to film school, but I took a class on film in high school so I think that is comparable plus I am just naturally smart)that there wasn't much of a plot. I also felt like there wasn't a script. Did anyone catch that name of the director, Lucian Pain or something? Does anyone know any other work he did? If so someone should tell him about camera angles. As in, there are multiple ones

Ah. But there was editing. There was a fade up, a dissolve to black/credit at the end and titles throughout the piece. Gone too far indeed.
And Marc - don't get all badass on me just because you can't keep your team in control and doing the work they are supposed to be doing. Sounds to me like the problem is on your end!

Posted: 4/12/05 at 4:09pmMy apprentice Lucian, (who should be hard at work for me instead of "directing/accompanying" underground films) has just explained to me what 420 refers to...or should I say reefers to

Since we're getting technical, I believe the entire pilot was shot above ground. There are trees and sunlight in the ONE camera shot.
I wonder if WOO will be allowed to make a cameo in a future episode

Posted: 4/12/05 at 4:26pmI like the part where they almost touch tongues. Lucky the FCC doesn't regulate content on the net.
