The Do Nice Guys Finish Last Showing
Monday, May 3rd, 2010The Do Nice Guys Finish Last showing was absolutely awesome. Aside from the weird guy that showed up that everyone feared was going to rape them. Other then that though, the entire thing went off without a hitch. I did a little Q & A after the short film which is always fun to me. While I’m nervous as hell in front of a crowd, I do pretty good. In my college speech class a girl made a comment on my speech that I get nervous and as a self defense mechanism, I start to tell jokes and try to make people laugh. Which she said works really well for me. I don’t get many compliments, so I have to hold on to whatever I can get. After the short film and the Q & A we had the theater for another 2 hours, so we watched Hot Fuzz. That movie is even more glorious on the big screen. I thanked Simon Pegg and Nick Frost via Twitter for Hot Fuzz but they never responded…. Fuckers. Just kidding. I’m sure those guys get at least a million tweets thrown their way every day. I got some good constructive criticism from Kristen Carter (Censored). She said it wasn’t long enough in some scenes and was too long in others and overall, it probably could have been shorter. I can agree with that. Nobody had anything horribly bad to say about it though. In fact when I told the crowd that someone told me it was the most offensive thing they had ever seen, I got quite a big round of applause. Thanks to everyone for that and for coming. It was insanely fun. I hope to see you guys at the next one, because there will be a next one.
P.S. I’m two rejection letters away from posting Do Nice Guys Finish Last online. Come on festivals, do the right thing, reject my ass. It has a narrow audience and it’s too long to program.
