FDR: What a Badass

Posted on: January 20th, 2012 by wmapother No Comments

I’ve been in a number of movies, but none with a title as promising as FDR: American Badass.  Yes, that’s FDR: American Badass.  In this extraordinarily moving and realistic film based on realistic events in a realistic-y fashion, our 32nd President fights Nazi werewolves.  I play Dr. Ellington but do not play the saw.

[Note of Vital Importance:  The events depicted in this film have been very suspiciously expunged from our history books.  This is your — and everyone’s, just about — first opportunity to see how the sh*t with Delano really went down.

Entertainment Weekly interviewed director Garrett Brawith.  It even includes a badass trailer.  This film is another from the semi-deranged mind of Ross Patterson, who was to blame, er, responsible for another of my promisingly titled ventures, Darnell Dawkins: Mouth Guitar Legend.

There is — again, very suspiciously — no release date, but as soon as one is available, I’ll let you know, or die trying.

If Ethan were to adopt…

Posted on: August 24th, 2010 by wmapother 7 Comments

As faithful, unpaid readers well know, in the past few months I’ve participated in several shows at the marvelous UCB comedy theatre in Hollywood.  In my most recent show there, SketchCram, one of the skits went well enough that UCB decided to shoot it as one of their short films.  (Several shorts a month are posted on ucbcomedy.com/videos).

The set-up, for the slower among you, is that I decide to adopt.  Happily, and then sadly, the adoption gatekeeper/Jacobite is a Lost fan..
It’s on Funny or Die here and YouTube here.   Or it’s here on Huffington Post.  If you’re into that sort of thing.

Fly wha?

Posted on: July 20th, 2010 by wmapother 6 Comments

A few years ago in Scotland I snapped this pic because I’d never heard of fly-tipping.

I been schooled since then and now know it’s illegal dumping, which apparently is a big problem in Britain, as demonstrated by the second photo.
