Hey, guess what? I'm getting my 15 minutes of fame! I'm a movie star!
Granted, it's only a 30-second movie . . . and it's not exactly in all the major theaters. In fact, it's not in any theaters. And it's not even a movie. It's a web commercial . . . but still, that sort of makes me famous, doesn't it?
If you haven't seen the commercial, check it out by hitting the link over to the right on this page. Or go to www.ragan.com and you can get to it from there.
But remember: They say the camera adds an extra 10 pounds . . . and we were using four cameras at once. That explains why I look so fat. I'm actually very thin and in shape, but the damn cameras distorted everything and made me look like a cross between Orson Wells and Curly from the Three Stooges.

One of these days I'll be able to say I knew you when you were just falling out of airplanes.

Hilarious promo, Steve! Curly and Orson have nothing on you, except maybe pants!

We've been dipping our toes in the pool of online video ourselves. The length was perfect and the content good. It kept me watching because I KNEW something hilarous was going to happen. Good job!

I was expecting bubbles out of the pipe, or some other form of hilarity - you totally delivered with the boxer shorts.
Julie emailed me as soon as it was posted...LOVED it.

When did you start wearing underwear? It truly is a brave man who is not afraid to reveal his shortcomings to the world.

Eliot:
Since you are not a part of "the business", as we movie types like to call the movie industry, you might not understand this term . . . but the underwear is what we call "a prop."

Steve:
I looked up the definition of a "prop".
prop
n.
1. An object placed beneath or against a structure to keep it from falling or shaking
My questions are:
1. What "structure" is the underwear keeping from falling or shaking?
2. Why is that aforementioned structure falling or shaking?
3. If you had hair what color would it be?
As I am not a member of the movie industry, I hope you will be able to clarify this for me.

Ah, Eliot. Touche!
Or should I say, "Tamachi," which as you may know is Japanese for "You have bettered me."
By the way, when I had hair, before the accident, it was a flaming auburn, with silver highlights.

steve, steve, steve that is just too fucking funny. it took that clip - yes, movie is a big stretch- to bring me out of my post-Katrina non blogging period. Thanks. I have been out of the loop- sounds like there is a seminar in SF which i did not win a raffle to attend. What happened to the raffles???? Oh- are you just too famous for that sort of thing now.
