Wait! Stop! I've just been struck! With wonder! Was 'Night Court' an inherently goofy premise? Or are there really courts open at night? I have no idea, but on other programs, it seems like when you get arrested you go into the cell until morning. Or...something. I thought they worked on banker's hours, pretty much.
Not dissimilarly, you've got the phrase 'go in, guns blazing, rambo style!' Or at least the sentiment. But wasn't his style more of a divide-and-conquer thing? Lots of lethal traps? Sneak up behind you with a knife? There's so much out there to learn from things I haven't watched yet!
A lot of improvisational theater is based on audience suggestion. I'm pretty sure this is more to prove to the audience that things are, in fact, being made up on the spot, than to provide the performers with topics. So shows start with a request made to the audience.
A few months ago, this was my chance to yell 'fire!' in a crowded theater. I was very proud of myself. I don't know if anyone else noticed.
Ooh, look at me, embedding videos all over the internets like [EDIT FROM FUTURE ROB: No, original Rob was right. If I had been hosting this video myself it would still be viewable. Embedding is relying on others to maintain their corner of the internet.]
This is the first video for the internets from the exciting new group Mode7, which is [EDIT FROM FUTURE ROB: No, this Rob was naive. Nobody else was interested in an ongoing partnership. This is the last video from Mode 7.]
And why not? After all, the internets are all around us.
This week, Z-Rob is publishing diary entries of his trip to a Gargoyles (RIP 1994-1996) Con! It's exactly what you think of when you hear that someone has a blog! (Which is of course, 'awesome.')
Part of what I like best is that you know Z-Rob tells it like it is, so when I read:
"...so I went downstairs, unpacked some essentials, took another minute to laugh at the ludicrous prices of the snacks available in the room..."
I believe it one hundred percent. I suspect each item was laughed at individually, hence the time required. And everyone knows PS2's are super quiet when they play DVDs, but that's how you can tell it's a truthful, subjective narration. If you're a Z-fan, this is one week you can NOT afford to miss!
