The Zack Snyder Video is Happening

I can’t die happy until you make a Big Lebowski video while wearing The Dude’s sweater

The two musical sequences in Watchmen are incredible: the opening titles and the creation of Dr Manhattan

Patreon goal: Patrick ranks every single kill in the Friday the 13th series.

I FORGOT ABOUT THIS AND AM PSYCHED. Also I'm going to raise the stakes and pitch something wild: a series of tiered goals that unlock shooting five or six 10/15 min shorts, with each working as a standalone but also when put together in sequence they form a complete feature. I've no idea if that's even doable? A feature length script that can be split into several shorts? With each "segment" also allowing for some passage of time between their productions? The challenge is fascinating and the process of coming up with the plot could, in itself, be an amazing video. FYI I don't want to suggest impossible tasks, just wanna support your work.

That's already happening! I've mentioned it in a bunch of videos. We were supposed to shoot in April but then the pandemic delayed everything. Hopefully we'll be able to shoot before the end of the year.

Patreon Goal pitch: how about the channel takes a short break (two, three months?) to produce and film a 10/15 minute fiction short? I get not feeding the youtube algorithm for an extended period of time is a problem but you could make an announcement video to explain the channel will be a little different for a short while and then upload off the cuff video blogs about the OC, or have your mom and dad take over the channel for a bit, even Charl can pitch in? Whatever is fun and frees you up to film! Supporting you as a fiction as well as an essay filmmaker seems like a good, sensible use of Patreon, erm, patronage.

100% serious Patreon goal ideas: 1. Launch a TCM-style wine club but for Nickelodeon shows, curated by cartoon sommelier Matt Torpey 2. Patrick finally watches Locke 3. Bloodsport-style duel with Krasinski 4. Mamma Mia 1+2 singalong zoom party 5. 90s Dark Universe sequel video about Hammer Horror 6. Shefflok & Waffson gritty reboot 7. Patrick’s parents adopt one lucky patron 8. Patrick Explains for Kids! ABCs, 123s, colors and shapes… the possibilities are endless! 9. My Dinner With Andre Blue Flame Special 10. Grow the beard back.

Can't wait!

Looking forward to it. Liked for the last part alone, well mostly.

Basically my theory is the whole Peak TV era is directly analogous to the post-Watchmen/Dark Knight comics boom. Pretty much everything fits. Try it!

As someone who lived in comic shops in the 90s, I've always felt Snyder is playing the role of Rob Liefeld and the Image crowd - all surface, no depth and a bizarre delusion that they're doing depth. But then I think the Nolan brothers are producing low-end Vertigo tosh, so...

Cool. I can't wait. Maggie Mae Fish is doing her own Snyder work and it's fantastic. I can't wait to hear your perspective on it.
