I Refuse to Write a Letter for October
by Brock LaBorde
October, 2004
The
month of Halloween is here and that's why I've included this
super-scary picture of myself that I took after my step-cousin's
birthday party. One quick word of advice: Fully-loaded .44 Magnums do
not make good birthday presents for toddlers. Click on the picture for
some close-up, gruesome details of my cool new gaping head wound!
But my leaky
cranium is neither here nor there. What we're here to discuss is the
current state of affairs at Studio 8 Entertainment. In this
forthcoming letter, I promise to both inform you and titillate you at
the same time. And while doing these things, I promise not to depress
you or piss you off or ramble on about my own grandiose successes and
talents. I also promise not to include any
extensive ridiculous lists in this
month's letter.
Let's start off
with some depressing news: The small company who was selling and
renting the DVD of our movie,
FirstLookRentals.com,
is going out of business and now we're either going to have to start
printing up our own DVD's or we're going to need a new distributor.
It's crappy because the guy running
FirstLookRentals.com
spent a lot of time and money trying to promote his site and the indie
films on it, only to have the indifferent, apathetic public spend
their money elsewhere, probably on Washed-Up Celebrity Poker: Season
One DVD's. Granted, FirstLookRentals is throwing in the towel after
only a couple of months, but that's their business decision and we
have to respect it. Hopefully this will mean that we can print up our
DVD and sell it to you for a cheaper price somehow.
On another
semi-depressing note, we've had some major setbacks in our site's
massive redesign, so we're having to do it ourselves a little at a
time. For instance, check out our new fancified
MUSIC PAGE,
which should be easier to navigate and more pleasing to the palate.
Our
EMPLOYEES PAGE is also receiving a much-needed overhaul and
I'm sure you will love checking out all of the things in there that
you never knew that you wanted to know about Studio 8.
And while you're
there, tinkering around, be sure to download the
first ultra-rare, hyper-secret release
from Studio 8 employees Mikey and Chris R., who have formed the
musical super-group known as Broken Natural. I personally am very
proud of these two dudes and look forward to seeing them perform some
live shows soon.
I really want to break my above promise not to piss you off, but
the only way I know how to do that is by showing you this stupid
picture of a creature that I call the Laser Monster. If that doesn't
make you angry, then obviously I have no idea how to be annoying or
lame.
Speaking of
which, it's now time for the egotistical rambling section: If you live
in the New Orleans or Baton Rouge area, check out the October issue of
Take 2 Magazine. There's a fancy
article about Studio 8 in there, complete with neat pictures and
various quotes from yours truly and the rest of the nutty dudes who
work on this site. Kevin, the guy who's starting up the magazine,
seems like a zesty, go-getter kind of dude and I think Take 2 Magazine
has a lot of potential to dominate in the world of southern US film
production.
Also, on October
16 at 7pm on the ABC Family channel, you can catch my big screen debut
in the touching made-for-TV comedy movie "Growing Pains 2: Return of
the Seavers". In addition to working in the Art Department for the
movie, I also assumed the complicated role of a man searching for good
bargains at a grocery store while the frazzled Mrs. Seaver chases her
wild grandchildren all over the place. I'm the guy carrying oversized
jars of pickles or tossing loads of toilet paper in the air.
This month's letter is short because I'd rather spend my time writing
funny things for Studio8.net than spout on and on about the inner
workings of Studio8.net. So I'm going to cut this puppy off right here
and let you get back to what you were doing a minute ago. Stay tuned
to this site for lots of spooky Halloween goodies, since Halloween is
our favorite holiday ever.
And please, people, stop being so damn mean all the time and teach
your toddlers some gun control.
