Bob's Office
A short which includes my friend Matt Pollock.
Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
This was part of the New York 48 Hour film contest. On a Friday night at 7PM, we were given the genre "Buddy Film". All entries had to have 3 things in common: A character named Bethany (or Benjamin) Grimes who is a professional organizer, use a set of keys as a prop, and have the line "You are not gonna believe what I just heard."
ReplyDeleteWe also decided to make ours a musical.
This film was conceived, written, composed, recorded, shot and edited in 48 Hours.

ReplyDeletePretty good. But why is "Bob" such a funny name? E.g. if it had been "Ted's office" or "Bill's office" it wouldn't have been nearly as funny.
ReplyDeleteI'm not making a joke, and I'm not bitter (right now). I am seriously asking why it's objectively funnier that it was called "Bob's office" versus some other name.
