Watch some bozo's audition tape for a part in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. (via Defamer)
Update: This appears to be the real Brian Atene's second video.

O, my.
This made me laugh.
Very hard.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Shalom, y'all!

I was going to comment about the audition tape, but I was going to be unkind, and my Mom taught me that if you can't say something nice, it's best to say nothing at all.
Ditto Odysseus. I do appreciate your front page posts.
Aw, Rosie, c'mon! I'm really interested in what others think of him.
Thanks for the props. :-)
Let me just say that my audition for the high school play looked like that, which is why they made me the stage manager.
I don't know if this was on the horizon or beyond the horizon when I originally posted it but TV Squad has started talking about the upcoming Let's Go To Prison 2+ months after I mentioned it.
Ow, my arm hurts from patting myself on the back. :-)
Now I feel like a genius unparalleled in the long history of civilization. Back-patting all around.
Ah, I remember the good old days when people used to comment on my front page posts. :-)
Is everyone working 60 hour work weeks or what? Or are my interests just that lame. Non-response on your part will signal my lameness.
60 hour weeks. :-) I do enjoy your posts.
I've been so scare because I've been putting most of my "free" time into writing a computer book no one will buy, which I'll never finish. Hopefully I'm wrong about at least one of those, but I do seem to have found a bottomless time-sink for myself.
I may not be the right person to comment on "lameness" (although it does take one to know one) but I do try to read all of your contributions. I particularly admire your ability to see what is on the horizon (or beyond the horizon.)
I must say that you're the reason I ever view the front page. I'd actually like to see more front page posts from you. Perhaps daily, three times a week or hourly contributions to the front page would help... depending on your 60 hour work week. I'd certainly enjoy/appreciate it.
More frequent front page posts might also help generate more traffic. (I suspect that might be part of the problem.) This may not generate more comments but sometimes the old sayings are the best: 'No justice, no peace.' 'No traffic, no comments'.... and 'The "good old days" were neither.'
I will try to remember that not all of my comments have to be three (now four) paragraphs long. Unfortunately for you I have great difficulty making short, affirmative posts along the lines of: "That's great." "Awesome." Or, "You are a genius unparalleled in the long history of civilization." All of that might be true, but in this case: "Sometimes awful is just awful."
Wow, 0, thanks! That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me in awhile. :-)
Well, I can usually conjure up a front page post every day or two. I've always just tried to limit it to stuff that I thought the bulk of people who visit here would be interested in.
But as long as Jim doesn't put the kibosh on it I'll see what I can do about posting more frequently thereby making people check the front page more frequently and hence increasing the opportunity for comment.
Thanks, again, for your kind words.
I only blame you for not telling me about the limitless hozons provided by Yacht Rock before now.
As for loving it, I only blame myself.
And now I have to blame you for exposing me to it. :-)
My brother clued me in over the holidays. He showed me ep#1 and we laughed so hard we hurt ourselves. You haven't lived until you and your brother have spontaneously harmonized to "Sweet Freedom." (No more runnin' down the wrong road...)
Not only did I know every piece of music but I had additional info on each song. "Stevie Nicks is the other vocalist on this." "Their sax player had the greatest name: 'Cornelius Bumpus.'" "Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter is now a wingnut and goes to the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner..."
I just got up to ep#4 and it is amazing. Steve Porcaro's genius 3-step plan to break down Michael McDonald:
Step 1: Ask nicely.
Step 2: Make him an irrelevant joke...
Step 3: Loggins!
Even the small touches are amazing. I can't remember the last time I saw a can of TAB and the guy supposed to be Steve's brother, Jeff, looks awesome... just take a peek at the real Jeff Porcaro brilliantly break down his great drum lick from "Rosanna."
