The Miracle Worker at LHS

Hello everyone,
It's been a while sense our last update, we've been working on things, and by things, I mean the title of this post. All of our official members are involved with the show, and the show's program has our very first advert. I decided to invest $15 and get the word out. So I think it's only fair I do likewise and say, "Hey come see The Miracle Worker at LHS from November 20th-23rd (with 2pm matinees on Saturday and Sunday).

As for scripting, Brad and I have been tossing back and forth some ideas for JCPD, but nothing has been done officially. So what are we going to do with our nice Thanksgiving break? Well we're setting aside a whole to meet up, brainstorm, and get a good deal into a first draft... Oh and then have some more people over to watch Tropic Thunder (The Directors Cut). I'm investing in a professional panasonic camera, and such. We've got things down my friends.

Your until later,
Kevin Cole

The 2008 Presidential Elections

Hello everyone,

Tomorrow is the presidential election (by the time you read this it will be today).  We can't take an official stance to grab votes that suit our liberal agenda...  Why is that?  because one fourth of the team has his own conservative agenda (see his campaign ad now!).  

Anyhow, tomorrow begins our most ambitious piece since Rope (not as ambitious, but the past 2 haven't quite been at that same level).  We're filming at a school (but no guns this time), on election day!  I've checked all polling place rules and regulations, and everything should be fine, not a single rule about filming outside the polling place.  And we're not electioneering, but to stay on the safe side we won't be crossing the 100 feet line.

So why find out how the election ends from CNN or NBC, when you can tune in right here, or at funnyordie.com/totallyillogicalfilms and find out how everyone voted and who one.  Seriously though, do it that way, I'll be up until at least 1 AM on the 5th ... (Thanks Alaska).

Yours until later,

Kevin Cole

McCain/French 2008

See more funny videos at Funny or Die

I wrote this short within the first month of school starting.  And needless to say it was more topical then.  But I think it still holds it's own today.

This short has gone through numerous ups and downs, beginning with it's creation, I wrote maybe 2 or 3 drafts before McCain introduced Palin.  However I was able to make it work.   The main issue was filming over time, which works for most projects, but is more of a pain with something as topical as this.  We eventually got all the scenes finished with the exception of one in which Danny prevents an abortion.  Hospital looking rooms are hard to find, and once we did we couldn't rally the troupes to film it.  So in the end Danny and I looked over what you see now and decided it would be best to use this and get it out before it was pushed back any further.  Luckily for you, you can enjoy the abortion scene in it's final written form.

There you go.  I hope you've all enjoyed this one.  More to come soon.

Also, I'd like to couple this new short with the announcement of the TOTALLY ILLOGICAL FILMS STORE over at cafepress.  Where you can find our first official T-shirt, with a nice Stanley Kubrick quote on the back.

I'll Bring My Own Rope: The "Huggable" Version

In honor of I'll Bring My Own Rope achieving 100 views on Funny Or Die, I have decided to gift you all with the "Huggable Version." The Film was a school project from the start but we neglected to film alternate clean scenes from the original film, (with the exception of 2 scenes). So I was up the night before it was due until 10:30 cutting out the language and putting in appropriate language (which is really hard with iMovie). Anyway please enjoy the version Brad and Shane's history class saw... I'll Bring My Own Rope: The "Huggable" Version

Now if you'll excuse me I have a debate to watch.

JCPD

Okay...so its like 2:45 in the morning and I (Brad) have just finished viewing a clockwork orange, which was a ridiculously awesome movie. anyway, i recently finished a rough sketch of JCPD (Jesus Christ Police Department). T.I. Films has been turning this idea over in our heads for like 2 months and its finally started to come together. So i'd just like to let any T.I. Films fans know that we are in fact going to be releasing another full-fledged film (constructed better than "Rope") in the months to come...hopefully by ?December?
