Check this out, okay, Steve, you know Steve. He finds this contest from the Asheville, North Carolina tourist bureau. Asking people to make a tourism video, if your tourism video is the vest tourism video out of all the tourism video's, meaning THE video that will make people flock to Asheville, North Carolina then you win $1,000...AND...a trip to Asheville. So Steve and his filmmaking partner in crime, Waki, decided to inundate them with outside the box concepts.
Now picture yourself, the head of tourism for Asheville, and you just got done watching an absolutely lovely montage of streams, flowers, and people water-skiing at magic hour, all of which faded very slowly and professionnally from one scene to the next. And then you put in this. And then this. And then this. And then this. And then this.
I find that fucking hilarious.
And this ridiculous.
After the fold, my review of X-Men 3.

Wow. Some of those films should carry a warning. Laughing too hard in the office attracts stare and comments about wasting time reading blogs.
Awesome! Thanks for visting Otisburg!
NOW THAT IS FUNNY, DAMNIT!
I appreciate the fact that it wasn't just a bunch of obscene stunts done for shock value. These we produced just well enough to give the false impression that whoever submitted these was serious. That is why its funny.
Of course my favorite was the last one, but I'm not too sure how it relates to tourism in Asheville.
Oh, by the way. The new Spiderman is coming along nicely - according to my neighbor across the street who has moved on from doing the animatics to actually directing second unit stuff. And not just bullshit shots of traffic and sunsets - real story and action including Kirsten Dunst and the like.
That reminds me, I gotta get back to NOT persuing my lifes dream.
Tell me they are using one of those... please tell me, otherwise, I'm just never going to Asheville, like, ever.
Did your review get lost?
