Thanks for the laughs. Keep it up dudes.

What about an episode in the Netherlands hahahah

Steve’s hair is so long!

Chris Peters is so sexy!

So sexy!

In terms of this entire series, I really like the characters. I know all these people, it seems, and find the things they do and say credible and entertaining. Becky especially has a gift for conveying a great deal of inner feeling in subtle facial gestures. This is appropriate, since she’s the character that seems to have the most emotional depth. In this episode, for example, when she’s at the hair show and Brian tells her to shut up after she’s expounded on her affection for him, she registers both pleasure and exasperation in the way she purses her lips and tucks her chin. In addition, I dig her penchant for baby-doll tees. Hat-tip to wardrobe!

I like the dialog, too, and am grateful that it doesn’t descend to the arch-editorializing of, say, most of Keven Smith’s work. “Mallrats” was the frikkin’ worst for this. T.S. and Brody spoke as they were living in a high-school play with two actors playing one part; in a way, I guess they were. The point is, you guys do a really good job of assuring that each character has a distinctive voice. Chris’s honest cluelessness and Brian’s guarded sarcasm compliment each other well. Swearing’s used effectively, too. When Becky finally asks “WHAT the FUCK are you talking about?”, it expresses exactly what the viewer has been thinking for five minutes.

Other than that, the direction here is clever and deceptively simple. For example, juxtaposing those scenes of Brian walking past those cubicles with the smart-ass dick-sucks who give him shit every morning really underscored and added texture to the “at siege” mentality he seems to possess.

Moments that really didn’t add to the story in my mind were Nintendo orgasm, Jamba Juice, and Cosmo quiz. I did think these scenes were funny, but didn’t really get any more out of the story from them.

Anyway, good luck. I envy your creativity and talent.

You have a new fan. Hope you can keep this thing going. And I’m serious about wanting to help out – no, I’m not a desperate psychopath hoping to make fake friends through some remote connection to characters on TV whom I believe to be real, not yet anyway – but if you need people to throw a hand in for various areas of production I’m willing to give it some hours.
