My dream if I ever get to direct movies - Rabrrrrrr's anti-mime dialectic

[Rabrrrrrr]

If I ever get to be a movie director, or music video maker, or something with video, there is one thing I have long wanted to include in every movie/video/thing I do, as my trademark.

What is it, you ask? Well, here it is. Rabrrrrrr's anti-mime initiative.

I want, in every movie, at some point while characters are having dialogue outside, in the background there will be a mime doing his mime stuff, and then ten seconds or so into the mime stuff (still in the background, mind you, so you'd have to be watching the slightly out of focus background to see it), that mime will somehow be murdered in cold blood - done in a way that you the viewer, and also the crowd, will understand he's being murdered solely because he's doing mime and it's not just a random murder - and no one in the crowd in the vicinity will care. And the form of death shall be different in each movie: stabbing, giant weight dropped, hit by car and send flying through air, etc.


(apologies in advance to all mimes and mime fans out there - sorry, I'm just not a fan. Though I did enjoy the occasional Marcel Marceau bit on TV when I saw it, all the street mimes and subway mimes and clown mimes at summer camps and church retreats and elementary schools offend me for some reason. But if you like mimes, all the power to you - I don't think they're dumb, I just don't like mime, so nothing against any of you personally).

1. I'm kickin' this one through again...

since it received no replies...

:kick:

[Dookus]

2. there were plenty of replies...

but they were all by offended mimes.

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. LOL!

Could be!

[DS1]

3. change it up for your 4th video

Have a mime that's packing a Desert Eagle, and blows away someone trying to hang up rope that's meant for said mime in a nearby tree.

5. I love it

MIMES MUST DIE! :evilgrin: Let's start with Shields & Yarnell.

[trof]

6. Then will you deal with memes?

Thank you.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. No, I like memes

and like to use that word. I also like mimetic.

:evilgrin:

8. Gee

My favorite album is "Marcel Marceau's Greatest Hits." It's so peaceful.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. I like to put the volume on 10 when I listen to my copy

Annoys the neighbors, but I don't care.

10. 3 of my friends are mimes....

They never went to any special training or anything, but they all cover themselves in white paint and do their thing in the streets of Downtown Harrisburg occasionally. But this isn't the boring trapped in the invisible box stuff. Think of 3 corrupted teenage mimes doing hilarious things, and that's basically what they do. They also occasionally do non-mime improv routines at local clubs.

But I agree...the normal mimes suck.

11. I'm thinking

of 3 corrupted teenage mimes doing hilarious things, and that's basically what they do.

And I just know I'd have to inflict serious bodily harm. Yep. It's not pretty, but it's true.

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. Well, if they'r like you, Phish, i bet they're pretty entertaining

corrupted mime I would be willing to consider.

While mime is important as a foundation for bodily movement and acting and is a good thing to know, I liken it to learning scales when playing an instrument - scales are also really important to have as a foundation. But scales in and of themselves do not make music. But warped mime - that's grabbing the foundation and taking it somewhere. :-)

13. Yeah, nobody's beat up mimes for comic effect before...

:eyes: Back to remedial Comedy School for you.

14. Unspeakable Love

Olivet-Nazarene University's Christian mime group is called Unspeakable Love.

Write your own punchline.

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. Well, it's a clever name!

As committed as I am to my faith, and to artistic expression as an important means of communication within that faith, I have to say that, of all the mimes I've not enjoyed, it's been the specifically-Christian ones that have most bothered. And most of those mimes have been from my own denomination...

But if they're good, all the power to them! And I hope that some people are being fed through their ministry.
