Too many projects?

I'm working on a D&D 3.5e adventure, hoping to play within a few weeks. A stranger asked how much it would cost to make him a skull hat like mine, so I need to buy some yarn and start on that. And I'm researching for a possible remix novel, not sure whether to keep it novel length or cut it down to just a story or a few chapters. (More about that later if I finish it.) I don't mind telling you my video mashup ideas because they're so stupid and obscure, no one would bother stealing the ideas: IGOR 1138 will have the audio from the trailer to the CGI animated feature "Igor" on top of visuals of Robert Duvall and Donald Pleasance from "THX 1138".

And I just told my wife I'd try to learn a King's X song on guitar so she can sing it with me.

Quick, prioritize all of those!

O Dysseus, Where Art Thou?

A mashup by Robbie!


The Coen Brothers' Sword and Sandal Epic! As you may know, they took the plot of "O Brother" loosely from The Odyssey. I was watching a cheap double-feature of these and noticed how many of them feature women frolicking in streams or near waterfalls or seaside, like the sirens. I remembered the "sirens" from O Brother and just needed several hours to shoehorn some other scenes into place.

Audio track from the official trailer for "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" Video clips from:
Hercules (1958)
Hercules Unchained (1959)
Fury of Hercules (1962)
Vulcan, Son of Jupiter (1962)
Hercules Against the Moon Men (1964)

Error that I'm too lazy to correct: Tim Blake Nelson's voice plays over shots of the actor "Rod Flash" (Real name: Iloosh Khoshabe) from Vulcan. But when it came to the spot where their names are shown, I used a clip of Brad Harris from Fury of Herc, because that shot of him posing in front of the steps is awesomely hilarious. Oh well. Hope you like it.

Finer Upon Finger


A new mashup I made.
