Eat the Bird, Bitch!

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

A thrown together Pink Flamingos remix started and completed in less than five minutes (I am not proud of this). It is silly.

Potter Minus Potter: The Chamber of Secrets

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Again – as a result of grating boredom – I’ve gone and edited out all mentions and appearances of Harry Potter/Daniel Radcliffe. One thing that’s become clear to me: the better the movies get, the harder it is to edit Harry out. God knows how I’m going to make Potter Minus Potter: The Prisoner of Azkaban.

Also, apologies for the audio error at the end of the Crabbe/Goyle plotline, I have no idea what caused that. I’ll do an audio-swap later on.

Potter Minus Potter: The Philosopher’s Stone

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

For Dom’s birthday I embarked on realising an idea we had years ago: removing every mention and appearance of Harry Potter/Daniel Radcliffe from the film series. We are both stunned at how well it functions without Harry, and how it seems to work on its own unintentional logic. Potter Minus Potter: The Philosopher’s Stone is the story of a half-giant courier of illegal items, acting as a middleman between Albus Dumbledore and his behind-the-counter clients. He terrorises a middle-class, average British family while also living a double-life as a caretaker at Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Potter Minus Potter: The Philosopher’s Stone is a cinematic study of schizophrenia, surveillance and the underbelly that lies in every neighbourhood.

Projectorheads Pictionary: Part 1

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

In one of our lunch breaks, Dom and I devised a game similar to Pictionary where one person draws a film, literally or otherwise, and the other person has to guess what it is. Since it is so addictive we are bound to play it more often, but here are a few recent ones. See if you can guess them!

Fan Mail #3: Humour Suggestions

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

I received an email this morning from an prominent children’s joke book author (apparently. I mean, he withheld his identity so I’m taking his word for it) throwing some constructive criticism my way. To be honest with you all, I’m embarrassed, perhaps a little upset, too. Am I really the laughing stock of Projectorheads? I’ve heard some similar complaints from readers recently. God, I can’t contain my embarrassment. While I go dunk my head in some cold water, here’s the letter:

OK, so I underestimated this guy’s prowess as a joke writer. Just from glancing at a few of them, I’m starting to see puns everywhere. Thank you, Anonymous Joke Book Author, your input has been invaluable.

PS. I loved “Hot Jokes for Cool Kids” when I was a child.
