What happens when a public television studio realizes that it has to spend $2,000 of government grant money before Wednesday in order to qualify for full funding for the next fiscal year? You get Your Chance to Live: Technological Failures! Obviously thrown together in a matter of hours, Your Chance to Live rails against modern man's dependence on technology with the vibrant coherency of a raving street corner derelict. This may have something to do with the fact that the producers hired an actual street corner derelict to do the raving, or as they refer to it, the "narration." Among the pearls of wisdom he imparts along the way? "Without electricity, there could be no electrical fires." The point is emphasized by showing stock footage of "Pioneers" baling hay.

Surely, the producers of this film were on a higher plane of consciousness, or maybe just really wanted to get off work in time to catch the tail end of happy hour. The whole thing makes for an experience that is as surreal as it is hilarious. Mike, Kevin and Bill seize Their Chance to Riff!

I packed more on mine, so I have three complete short volumes, and then the last two.

I will download this tomorrow at work (will teach them for making me go to a 6am teleconference with India)

Man!
My MPEG-2 download speed was over 80kb/sec when I started but has been losing speed for the last hour..

Now at just over 60kb/sec

Downloading now, this one looks great judging from the sample.

Hm, so I take it this new poster style is here to stay? It looks nice, but it doesn't have the personality of the older posters.

Lompoc is pronounced lompoke. Also I don't think you'd find many empty warehouses, it's not very industrial, mostly farmland filled with flowers.

Just for the shorts because they are usually done a whole bunch at a time. Feature posters will still have the wackiness that you crave.

Is Kevin indicating that Mike farted, or something?

It might have to do with .. 'Brown Outs'

WHAT THE HELL WAS THE FRAKING POINT OF THIS FILM?!?!?

It was funny as hell though...... I had to stop the video several times during the whole "pioneer days" part.

Darth Geek · March 25, 2009, 06:03:21 PM

I always think it's hilarious when people talk about pioneer days being "simpler times", especially when they are showing people working hard.

8? Quitter. I go 12 apiece on mine. I'm halfway through volume 3, and actually waiting for another even set of 12 to come out before I watch any more.
