Automated Pilot - Unaired TV Pilot

Howdy Folks,

Since we are slow at making new episodes, I have decided to share with you the TV pilot we made here at Ohio University for the student run network AVW. This episode was for a show where every episode would be a pilot for a new show. The only episode features the pilot "Hobo-Town". A sitcom about Great Depression Hobos written entirely in Hobo lingo. They canceled us midway through our second episode. Which was called "Deadline 2000AD" and was about two guys running a newspaper in the Post-Apocalypse future in the year 2000. Any-who, here is the unaired pilot episode of Automated Pilot written by Andrew Ford and I and Directed by me. Also stay tune for the unaired Pilot for "The Eli Osman Show" a talk show I made in High School. Well its actually more of a warning than a stay tune.

Thank You.

Eli Osman on the Podcast, the World, and Watchmen

Howdy.

How are you?
I'm fine.

Well, here at "Late Night at the Movie Emporium" we have not been positing new episodes as often as we want. Due to the busy nature of our lives. For several reasons to boring to write we have not done a episode for a while. So pretty much, we've been slacking. The next proposed episode was Part 2 of our Ozploitation episode but we have not had the time to watch all the films we wanted to covering several films from 1980-1986. That episode will come in the near distant future.

(The Near Distant Future)

Our next episode, which we will be record late tonight, will be posted tomorrow. The subject is unknown to me as of the moment, but whatever it will be it will be fueled by lots of coffee. We will probably wing it or something.


As for the world. I'm sadden by our current economic crisis. Non of it truly effected me until the other day when I stopped at a Dairy Queen in Albany, Ohio. It was closed. Closed down due to lack of money I assume. I really wanted a ice cream cone. It was 60 some degrees outside and that's great whatever for ice cream. Someone should do something about this economic ice cream crisis. I hope Lord Obama will do something.


(Sweet Jesus this image is Sad. It makes me feel people emotions.)


As for the film Watchmen.


I have decided to not discuss Watchmen on the podcast. I don't speak for Andrew here, but I don't feel like talking about Watchmen is being done to death. So, this blog is going to express my feelings towards the film. And that feeling is, MEH. I like the film, but it way too long in a bad way. The film looks great don't great me wrong, but what works good in the comic doesn't necessarily work in the movies. I am a big fan of the comic, but in film a glowing floppy blue penis is hard to get pass. I know its in the comic, but come on. Most of the audience couldn't stop giggling ever time Doc Manhattan showed up. I am looking forward to watching the complete version on dvd with the added footage and the pirate and Under the Hood doc cut in. But that probably won't be out for a year. I still enjoyed Watchmen, but its not the best Superhero movie in years, its only number 5 on the my list of the best Superhero movies of the last two years.

1. Rambo
2. Dark Knight
3. Iron Man
4. Hellboy II
5. Watchmen

(GREATEST MOVIE EVER. STALLONE IS A GOD. NO, HE IS GOD.)

So there is my fast and crappy review of Watchmen. A visually stunning and Meh Movie. Well thats it for now, I guess. Stay Tune for our next episode and SHOOT FOR THE STARS.

Thank you.

Be prepared of a shit-ton of Aussie awesomeness.

"Not Quite Hollywood" Podcast Update

Our scope is too ambitious for this week's podcast, so we're going to have to split it into two (2) halves.

Part One: 1971-1979 - will be posted by Friday morning, and Part Two: 1980-1987 - will be posted next week, hopefully on a Wednesday evening as per usual.

I leave you with a short video we spent the weekend making for our school's 48-hour Shootout competition. We were given a genre (Instructional Video), a line of dialogue ("I was up all night"), and a prop (Three Eggs) - enjoy:

Coming Next Thursday-Ish

We journey to the Outback with about 15 "Ozploitation" films - from 1971-1987, 16 years - 15 works of Aussie excellence.

Loosely (oh who am I kidding, entirely) inspired by the excellent documentary, Not Quite Hollywood: The Untold Story of Ozploitation, hopefully coming soon to DVD.
In this documentary, we learned that former James Bond actor George Lazenby was actually set on fire in 1975's The Man from Hong Kong, Dennis Hopper was a drugged-up motherfucking jerkoff no matter what country he was in (and was, in fact, prohibited from not only driving - but from being a passenger in a car due to his Outback antics), and many more excellent, bizarre, and almost impossible-to-believe facts we'll unleash in next week's podcast.

For now, we leave you with the documentary's trailer, a quite excellent deleted bit of interview from the documentary, and brief clips/half-trailers from the two films that bookend our Ozploitation queue.
