Did the production, score, intro and thumbnail art for a short horror story featuring Daniel Radcliffe. That was pretty neat

This is a sound design I made that will be featured in an upcoming audio production I'm working on.

A car accelerates through an intersection. An oncoming bus t-bones the car, which spins the car around, causing it to roll over several times until skidding to a stop across the pavement on its roof. The car settles and the driver suffers tinnitus.

No. Nope. Uh, uh. Not gonna say farewell and thanks for everything. That would imply there's a farewell.

Well, I'm not leaving.

You're gonna have to drag me outta here kicking and screaming. And I WILL BITE YOU!

I started my time here with a long love letter to the show and everyone on it, so I'm gonna keep this brief.

I will say that ending the show with Mike's "mischief fucking managed", followed with "Goodnight, goodnight." broke me. Teague, you magnificent bastard. It was so perfect I immediately started blubbering.

I have never been so consistently entertained by and found so much enjoyment in one thing but this podcast. You all are legends in my eyes (and ears, and.. goddammit.. heart) and you'll forever be friends in my head.

Let's keep this wunnerful forum going, share our creations and laugh about things. This fucking amazing community can be the legacy of Down In Front.

Vampires, love and loss in the desert. I think this is some of my best work, personally.

Teague, I wish nothing but awesomeness like this for you all the time everyday.

I covered Gary Jules' cover of "Mad World" by Tears For Fears. Wait, is that confusing?

Haven't seen Spider-Man 2 but I can tell just from the trailer I'd hate it.

Elysium I enjoyed from an art direction standpoint. It's a bit of a mess though.

Edge of Tomorrow hit me on all the right levels. It's an action-thriller, it has a lead that isn't a dark brooding badass, it has a strong female co-lead, the art direction and action scenes are well envisioned, it's exciting, it's well edited, it's got neat tech, interesting (if a bit archetypal) characters and it's clever.

Does it crib on some old tropes and derive ideas from other sci-fi stories? Yep. But it does so with purpose and with an eye on how those elements can work in service of this particular story, rather than going though some kind of checklist. And it pulls it off, in my opinion.

It's dramatic when it needs to be, action-packed when it needs to be, scary when it needs to be. And most of all, it's FUN. Remember FUN in movies? This is no dour film. Sure, it gets serious towards the third act, but not until it's had a shit ton of fun playing with its premise. I don't want to oversell it, but I can't remember the last time I smiled and laughed during an action film. A lot of that has to do with the screenplay, but Tom Cruise's performance really makes it come alive.

I really enjoyed Doomsday. I was expecting B-movie schlock and was pleasantly surprised as soon as I learned the director was Neil Marshall.

Marshall's so good at skirting the edge of B-movie exploitation, while at the same time managing to pull off some truly epic level shit. What's more impressive is he manages to do so while working with very tight budgets, generally speaking.

I don't think I've disliked any of his movies so far. There's a special place in my heart for Dog Soldiers.

Because why the hell not.

Well everyone made that moment out to be the worst thing they'd ever seen. I had horrific images floating from my mind all day.

While I'm certainly not disappointed, I'm glad it wasn't what I had imagined. It's gruesome and gory, for sure, but I'm not suffering PTSD, so I'm happy.

But who cares about that? That Tyrion monologue was everything. Sansa's was great, too. But goddammit the beetle speech.
