    The Blues Brothers Thread

    Jane Byrne was the Mayor of Chicago when they shot it and was trying to attract more filmmaking to the city. So John Landis, Ackroyd and Belushi pretty much had the run of the city for shooting. Including a bunch of Chicago Police cruisers that were being retired anyway. I met a guy who was...

    Any fur suggestions?

    Make sure the white fur and fleece you are going to dye will take the dye. Synthetic fibers don't dye well and most commonly available furs and fleeces are synthetic.

    The Blues Brothers Thread

    Because it was a comic chase movie. The State Police are chasing them from the beginning. The Good Ole' Boys are chasing them. The Illinois Nazis are chasing them (I hate Illinois Nazis). Jake's ex-fiancé is chasing them. The final chase scene had to be absurdly huge considering how many...

    The Blues Brothers Thread

    I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.

    Why do everyone think they're pro?

    jonny and the sprites

    "Johnny and the Sprites" is going to a full half hour in January. From the commercials and the website, they've added a few more sprites to the show.

    I think I'll take a picture of an old sweat sock and put it up on eBay as a pro puppet.

    So Have We Seen the End of 2-D Animation?

    ?????????? I thought the "glory days" were the 30's and 40's. A lot of crap came out in the 50's and 60's. And 2-D is not dead. Never will be. It might be done on computers, but it isn't dead.

    What Can We Do to Help?

    Obviously, you haven't tried yet. It's been a long time since I heard this, but I'm pretty sure I'm remembering it right: 90% of all the money made by actors and actresses is made by 5% of the actors and actresses.

    A Question on Trademarks

    I've written several screenplays, have friends on the legal side of Hollywood and was a reader for a few years. Go ahead and copyright the play. Ultimately, if a producer is interested in producing the play, he/she may have to get the clearances for for the references or you'll re-write that...
