This whole thing is great, but you have to stay with it till the end to fully appreciate.

Note: I hear the actors in this are the same ones in the original. Cool, huh?

Hey, Lizard and constantly dramatic: Glad you liked it.

I just looked up the background from Museum of Moving Image -- But, there's an even better history of the "Whassup?" Ad on Wikipedia.

Here's the short answer:
The "Wassup" Guys Return for an Independent Obama Ad:

Charles Stone III, the film director who made the popular "Wassup" commercial for Budweiser in 1999, has created a pro-Obama sequel. This independently produced Web video which seems bound to become a viral video hit. It has received half a million YouTube views within its first day of being posted.

Mysterious Skin: Amazing night of theater at East West Playersysi

Last night I made my way up and out of Orange County to go see Mysterious Skin, written by Prince Gomolvilas now enjoying it's Los Angeles premiere at East West Players. ***Note:  I am not a reviewer.  I am not a critic.  (I married one, which is why I can say with confidence, I am not this.  If you want real reviews of Mysterious Skin  you'll have to look to other publications wise enough to have send their press in to cover this show now running at East West Players.)

Especially when those paths go back even farther than high school.  I think he and I were butting heads as far back as elementary school! If my memory serves me right, Schaeffer and I ended up, briefly, in the Guilford Central School together.  Fall 1968.  Yep. I was a newly transplated girl from New Orleans dropped unceremoniously into a tiny, extremely humble elementary school out in the boondocks of southern Vermont.  I had NO idea what the hell I was doing there and was suffering my own case of "Other-itis."   I In my case, as an only child of often charming, but highly eccentric parents, my wild ride hit some very bumpy patches, More on that later. Back to Eric:  See as a newcomer that year to Vermont from New Orleans I had an accent.  I wore dresses and probably continuing too make my parents happy by literally curtseying to the adults they trotted me out to meet. Politely.  Of course.  That was my job.   I can promise you, however, once you curtsy to a farmer, y
