Why Clocks Suck

This is a movie I made. Not much to be said about it. It's weird. I think it's funny, but I may have a weird sense of humor... Oh yeah, and "Eulogy" is in it. Enjoy...maybe.

Re: Why Clocks Suck

I'm just going to write notes while I watch this

You have chosen B:
Slap your girlfriend in the face and jump out the window
I love it :D

Poor Jimmy... The Darklord of Frostore(sp) sent out many of his elves! ... Can you hold this? :P at this point... I wonder why clocks suck ;) lol...

This movie rocks :D The chicken's voice is superb.. Hey are you starting something?!

Bah... unfortunately the video stopped playing around 9 minutes so I didn't get to watch the whole thing...

I liked what I saw though :)

Re: Why Clocks Suck

That's too bad...the reason why clocks suck is at the very end. And that means you missed the infamous dance scene...

That was actually kind of an inside joke...Luke played bigger parts in the last 2 movies we made and his character always came off unintentionally gay, so in this one, he finally came out of the closet. I'm proud of you, Luke! (He's not really gay)

lol i was thinking along those lines too, good work with the subtle homoerotic undertones .!

that was fun to watch though, especially the dance scene.

Yes and no. We've made around 4 movies, each one was better than the last. This is by far the best one. There are 3 other ones that attempted to be funny, but weren't as successful. They were still funny, but none were as good as this. I'll probably put them up eventually anyway (at least 2 of them, the first one we made was pretty bad...) Thanks for the feedback, everyone, glad you enjoyed it.

Re: Why Clocks Suck

Dude...that movie totally sucked balls, what did you film that with? A snapshot Kodak camera? Jimmy was the most retarded character ever, wtf were you guys thinking, the dialogue wasn't even well thought out and the dance scene...atrocious. Keep your dayjobs kids. Seriously.

How exactly can a movie "suck balls?" You sound like this one guy I know, anyone who disagrees with him automatically sucks. OK, so our equipment wasn't amazing, but it CLEARLY wasn't a still camera. How was Jimmy retarded? He was just passive...granted, they say that main characters should always be aggressive...still. The dialogue was planned out, maybe you couldn't tell, but still. Whatever, I give up. I thought making movies was fun but I guess I was wrong. Thanks a lot, Wild Goose--I'm taking back my dayjob.

Re: Why Clocks Suck

Good plot, good humor, decent scene composition (given your equipment). The acting could use a little work, though. Especially the guy dressed up like a chicken, he annoyed the fuck out of me.

I must give you kudos for the phone conversation scene. I love when movie cliches are taken and twisted like that. Also, your jab at myspace was hillarious.

Not too many, he was in a rush to go home and do something or other. The real killers take-wise were actually slapping Ashley and a bit we deleted where the guy in the Oma shirt walked up to Jimmy, put his arm on his shoulder, and said "You have a problem Jimmy. And the first step on the road to rehabilitation is recognizing that problem." at which point Jimmy said "I don't have a prob--" and Oma kid put his index finger up to Jimmy's lip and said "Shhh. It's OK. It's O K..." with a straight face the whole time, of course. We cut that out because the shot turned out crappy even though the take was good (after a million tries). Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.

This was actually a school project that we took to an infinitely higher level than we had to, but some people, like the chicken and the guy who tricks Jimmy into wanting a drink, were in our group and we had to work with them. The worst acting was probably Jimmy's girlfriend...that was because we had no one else at the time, though. The MySpace thing was probably my favorite scene, because everyone at our school is absolutely obsessed with it, and they're always trying to find new ways to get around the blocks at school, and always succeeding, too. All in all, it definately turned out better than we ever expected it to. I appreciate the feedback.

Jimmy Waterfront is the main character and we hail from military families. Our parents are Americans stationed in England. Unconfusion.

Re: Why Clocks Suck

Ignore's moving rather slow. We're being forced to do this historical re-enactment video for Video Communications, so that is a bit of a distraction. I'm actually considering animating 'ignore'. We'll see how things go this week.
