laryngitis movie trailers – trailergytis

the worst part of my recent holiday trip to san francisco was bringing back a horrible cough/cold. (coffee connection, i blame you!)

the best part of having laryngitis is using my freakishly affected voice to record some Don LaFontaine-style fake movie trailers. i’m accepting trailer text via twitter #trailergytis or @wohali, and via comments on this form. assuming i still have the ailment when i get your message, i’ll record up a new one. state if you have any preference for the backing track, too.

trailers so far:

  1. Watership 2: Easter Time (1:00 mp3)
  2. Cheesefood the Usurper (0:45 mp3)
  3. The Fellowship of the Hirsuite (0:45 mp3)

The original inspiration:

dirk benedict is bitter (and right)

Read Lt. Starbuck…Lost in Castration by Dirk Benedict, the original Lt. Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica, and Face from the A-Team.

There was a time, I know I was there, when men were men, women were women and sometimes a cigar was just a good smoke. But 40 years of feminism have taken their toll. The war against masculinity has been won. Everything has turned into its opposite, so that what was once flirting and smoking is now sexual harassment and criminal. And everyone is more lonely and miserable as a result.

I agree with my friend Hooch: “But my first reaction, aside from that he does raise some valid concerns and issues, is that he forgot to add at the end ‘And get off my lawn!'”
