It Froze Me by the Mountain Goats
Attention improv nerds!
I’m recording part 2 of my improv series for my podcast later today, this installment focusing on indie improv with Casey Feigh and Nick Mandernach. If you’ve got a question for Casey or Nick, email prepopculture@gmail.com and I’ll ask them on the podcast!
Friendly Fire - Please just leave us alone, cub scouts. Can’t you see we’re trying to have a romantic camping trip?
I LOVE LA - Welcome back to the Newlywed Game. Rene, we asked your wife what your favorite thing to do is. Ohhh man, I hope she put listen to my best friend lie to girls on the phone!
PrePopCulture Episode #3
Jen Krueger was silly enough to put me on her fantastic new podcast, PrePopCulture. We talk about food trucks, pop up restaurants, and my obsession with cataloguing information. I’m a weirdo, but you’re hungry, so listen!
Farley has a weird condition where whenever he means the word “brilliant” he says or types “silly.” Trust me.

Farley and Jen taught me about the Oxford Comma therefore I had to post this.
This is what I love about Dave. Farley and I teach him a grammar thing, he finds the most fun way possible to embrace it.

The casting notice for the Ender’s Game movie
Expanding on my post from yesterday…
First problem: the summary posted indicates that Ender is recruited at the age of 10 because of his skills as a gamer.
Second problem: The adults at Battle School are all considered leads, and there seems to be far more emphasis on the trials after the war than the book gave.
Third problem: Dap is listed as a military drill sergeant, and seems to have a beefed up role aside from this completely incorrect characterization.
Fourth problem: They’ve made Anderson a female military psychologist.
Fifth problem: They didn’t even spell Mazer’s name right.
I’m sure there are dozens of other things about this that I could add to this list if I had the script and not just a preliminary casting notice.
Here’s the thing: yes, Orson Scott Card has gone through many producers to get where he is, and yes the party line is that he’s “heavily involved”, but let’s be realistic. Card is a smart guy that has certainly figured out that spending more than a decade unsuccessfully trying to get the movie made in a way true to the book is a good indicator that it isn’t going to happen. So in the interest of just plain getting it made, he’s more likely than not let stuff slide in terms of faithful adaptation.
Oh, and did I mention that Gavin Hood is directing it? Nice guy, but I don’t think anyone would exactly laud X-Men Origins: Wolverine as a great piece of work, and that happens to be the last thing Hood directed.
I’m all for hoping for the best, but Ender’s Game is my favorite book and I’m willing to bet that anyone who loves it like I do will be incredibly disappointed by the movie.
I’d rather they didn’t make Ender’s Game than that they ruin it…
But based on the casting notice that just went up, any fans of Ender’s Game should be really fucking worried about how badly they’re gonna butcher the book with the movie adaptation. Sigh.
The Mountain Goats show at the El Rey last week was pretty much the best show ever.
