cherry or strawberry syrup?

7/3/2008 at 10:41 a.m. by FungusRidden

Ha ha, neither. You wouldn't want to put that stuff in your mouth without having Poison Control on the line first. That's dyed laundry detergent! Bleagh!

It's raining fake blood ... and laundry detergent. I liked it!

my vote's in, nice job guys!

This one has my vote. I like this one the best. Classic Tarantino style ending. Man, that was a lot of guns though. Better they learn how to shoot one than carry three that jam!

My favorite part was the severe look of "Sweet!" on the alien chick when she discovered that someone left a shotgun against the shed.

If you want a different way to make blood you can mix corn syrup, chocolate syrup, and black cherry kool aid mix. It is great because it smells and tastes like a chocolate covered cherry, granted if you actually put it in your mouth it can turn your stomache, but every time I've used it, the stains have come right out completely!

well, if you use laundry detergent, you're already halfway done with washing your costumes

same request here...

I want to make a jaytaylorthe1 style treaty. Not against promotion. Promote the crap out of your video. Friends, family, neighbors, strangers, classmates, church folk, gamers, circus freaks, prison inmates... get everyone you can to vote, of course.

I want us to all agree to play fair though. One vote per human being. I'm not throwing any accusations out there. It's just that there is no money in this round, and I see a lot of irony in cheating to meet Michael Moore, as he is so obsessed with justice and equality.

So can we all agree not to make up email addresses and vote for ourselves, and if any of us already have those accounts in our back pockets, not to use them? agreed?

As someone who is part of the FungusRidden group (see: Nathan Morse), I can tell you that we have always stood against multiple accounts, and I can guarantee that we will still stand against using those style of tactics.

A) I just now realized our aspect ratio isn't how I set it. That's gonna drive me crazy for the rest of eternity.

B) Trust me, KRN. We've played nothing but a straight game from Day 1. It's the only way we roll. So I'll grab that deal with two hands, because it can only mean we have less of a fight coming, provided everyone else abides by it. ;)

C) Whoever meets him, steals his wallet and shares all his contacts with the rest of us. :P

this one got my vote!

7/5/2008 at 2:26 a.m. by FungusRidden

Hmm... apparently we aren't even trying to win after all, I guess. I must not have gotten the memo. :<

At least we're currently in prime position for sympathy votes. All 200 of them.

7/5/2008 at 7:29 a.m. by killerrobotninja

I'll vote for you. Not out of sympathy though, but because you made an entertaining movie. :)

7/5/2008 at 12:37 p.m. by FungusRidden

You're a swell guy. When you meet Michael Moore, rub his belly and make a wish for me.

Actually, don't do that. Security may haul you away.

7/6/2008 at 7:39 a.m. by vote082

this one's so much fun! I'd say you should be running in a close second. Why does hungrymother have more votes than you?

7/6/2008 at 3:24 p.m. by FungusRidden

Because they have a better campaign running. :< Two of our mates are out on holiday for the weekend, which leaves me manning the ship. And arrr, we be good 'n scuttled for certain. >_<

I'd like to finally, formally, give permission (and encouragement) to our loyal voters to jump ship and cast a vote for one of the other entries. I myself have officially endorsed KillerRobotNinja for the win; vote how you will, but I do recommend his entry for top honors. Thanks to everyone (all 43 of you!) who gave it your all to help us compete in this final round. :3

I'm surprised you are in last....I did choose KRN's over yours, but yours is WAY better than 'The Dream'. What is up with that?? I can't wait for the new voting system.

That was awesome of you to tell your fans to vote else where, you're a good sport. Job well done!

Ha ha, no sense having a party on a sinking barge. Although it doesn't appear to be doing a whole lot. :<

We really just didn't get any word out there because everyone was away for 4th of July weekend. In retrospect, though, we really needed to spend less time on guns and more time on plot. Also, I don't think Michael Moore would personally be a fan of our entry.

Ultimately, this entry probably represents the fact that I've been starving to do another action scene for a while, and went for total overkill to get it out of my system. Now that it's over with, we can work on a sappy melodrama and I'll be good for a while. ^_^

7/7/2008 at 8:43 a.m. by cscross

FungusRidden, "spend less time on guns and more time on plot" ?????? How could you say that Michael Moore wouldn't like it? Is that the Michael Moore that did the movie "Canadian Bacon"? Score for that movie would be Guns 1 / Plot 0. : )

7/7/2008 at 11:32 a.m. by Squirrel

Guns Guns Guns!!!! Other than them finding guns all over the place it was a good one.

7/8/2008 at 2:07 a.m. by FungusRidden

I think what Canadian Bacon has that we lacked was some sort of message about the use of guns. :<

Although I'll really quickly fix that. "This entry was a metaphor for the mutual destruction and decline of humanity due in part to the irresponsible and unrestrained use of violence and arms to further the objectives of the self and hinder and prohibit the growth and evolution of society, as is represented symbolically by the mindless pursuit for the unknown (the case) with the promise of power (alien secrets)."

Thanks, Squirrel. Got a pal named Moose?
