The Descent, to me, is one of the most terrifying films, I’ve ever seen.   My children absolutely love it.  When we starting doing this film short series, they requested that we do a parody of The Descent.  We came up with this one on the fly, but I still love the results.  I hope you like them too.  They were very pleased with this one, mostly because it was shot inside of ten minutes.

If you had a red haired daughter, what Stephen King parody would you film?  Carrie gets a going over from Canes Venatici, but not too roughly, because that telekinetic young lady scares me!  Anyways, this is the fourth of our summer film series, but not the last.  hang in there for more in the coming weeks.  You seem to like them, and we love doing them.

I know I haven’t been posting much, but that’s going to change very soon, I promise.  I’ve been pretty busy in the meantime, what with my children haunting the hallways around here.  Literally.

Here’s our Stephen King parody of The Shining, called The Whining.  I really hope you like it, as we plan to continue spoofing famous horror films for the next couple of weeks.  Or until we get sick of doing it. 

Small chidren and a quart strawberry syrup do NOT mix, by the way!

It’s no secret that I really, really hate Twilight.  I feel it important as a father to say that my children, not so much.  They were more than willing to shoot this parody video for me, which first started written life without them in it, and had a much darker, but equally comic tone.  I’m very proud of both my kids in this one, and once again, the camera caught me as director, bitching at everyone about how terrible their acting was, while blowing every one of my lines and turning in a lackluster performance.  We’re still pretty happy with the finished product, however, and hope you find it as funny as we did.  I present Sonlight.

Above is one of the family activities we’ve taken up since the children have come to live with us this summer.  They love the makeup and getting to be on camera.  ThatCostumeGirl loves making the kids look disgusting, and I…well, I just think my kids look disgusting anyways.  The aim here is to make at least four, if not more, of these little shorts before the kids have to go home for school.  Hopefully this will all work out, but here we present out first short: “Do You Know Where Your Children Are”.  We hope you have as much fun watching it as we did making it.

Drink up, wussy!

Father’s Day approaches, and to celebrate here at ManWithPez, we’ve lined up three videos to waste your time watching, featuring some of our favorite pop media fathers.  Being a father myself (and totally expecting waffles on Father’s Day, hint, hint!)  I’ve no problem recognizing TV fathers, as TV raised me most of my life!  Okay, I’m kidding, but the worse the father seemed on TV, the better it was when it was revealed that he actually liked his children.  So, here’s three for you to consider this Father’s Day, and please, enjoy!

First…well, it should come as no surprise to anyone that it’s Homer Simpson.  Let’s take a look at him here, from one of my favorite Lisa-centric episode Lost Our Lisa.  Proving once again that Homer can be a caring a loving father, here he is trying to find his daughter after he..uh…well, he let her ride the public bus.

Coming up next, well, that’d be Al Bundy from Married with Children, singing the theme song to his favorite TV show, Psycho Dad!  Let’s watch!

And, one of my favorite shows cutdown before it’s time, and seemingly mangled by studio intervention:  Titus.  Ken Titus (played by Stacey Keach) is gruff, hateful, and an alcoholic.  He also seems like an actual father.  He’s not like my father, but he’s a great character that you know is based on someone who’s absolutely real.  Check it out, and don’t be a WUSSY!

THIS one-eyed fat man has a couple of surprises for you!

Father’s Day is fast approaching, and to get in the spirit early, here’s a trio of videos featuring some of my favorite Hollywood tough guys.  I’m not much of one myself…Tough guy, I mean.  I’m an excellent father.  Who else would let his kids play with water and electricity at the same time?  FUN!  Anyways, while I might not be much of a tough guy, I certainly love to watch them kick ass, though!  Well, let’s have a look at three of my favorite movie badasses, shall we?  Oh, good…you’re still on board!  Tough guys and the asses they kick after the jump!

Well, the first and most obvious would of course, be Clint Eastwood.  They don’t come more hardassed than him, and while it’s arguable which is his best tough guy role, I just have to go with my favorite, Dirty Harry Callahan.  Let’s take a look at what most people consider to be his most famous scene, shall we?

My second favorite man in this category is most people’s first:  John Wayne.  Well, my favorite movie of his is The Quiet Man (on of the better movies ever made) and it doesn’t really fit the category, as he goes through most of the movie trying not to fight other perrenial tough guy Victor McLaglen (He scares me!).  Here instead is a scene from my second favorite John Wayne movie, Red River.  Here, the Duke plays a cattleman whose girl was killed earlier in the movie.  In the same wagon train was a little boy.  Duke raises him and later, the two don’t see eye to eye.  All I have to say is that even sitting down and drunk, John Wayne is scary.  Montgomery Clift and John Wayne is an excellent scene from an excellent movie, Red River:

And, just to buck the system, I know that most of you would probably put Chuck Norris or even better Charles Bronsan in this place, but I’m going to go with someone more contemporary.  Don’t get me wrong, I love Charles…and most of you, if you’ve been around this site, know my personal feelings on Chuck Norris.  But, in this place today, I’m going with someone who’s a much better actor, with a much better rounded body of work:  Kurt Russell.  I love Kurt!  He’s rarely made a bad movie, and even if the movie wasn’t great, he was usually great in it.  While he played a hardass in any number of movies, I think his turn as Wyatt Earp in Tombstone was probably Kurt at his roughest, and it was GREAT!  Let’s take a look, shall we?

Hell and yes!  Now, let’s make certain we’re watching some tough guy cinema for most of June, and I’ll come back and visit this topic again in short order!  There’s still plenty of tough guys to choose from!  There’s Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Roundtree, etc, etc, etc.  Almost everyone’s had a tough guy role at some point, and most are awesome at it.  So, until that day…toughen up!

Why, Dick! You are quite the little badass, aren't you?!

We’re drawing to a close in our last week of Superhero and Supervillain love here at ManWithPez.  For one last hurrah, let’s take a look at some videos that I’ve liked for sometime, and two of them are fan made.  For the most part, I’ve never liked fan films, but when it comes to comics, people just like to let their natural geek flag fly.  The results, as I’m sure you’ll see, are filled with equal parts love and awesomeness.  The third one…well, that’s just a little something for me.  Mostly because I really, really love The Flash.  Streaming Internet Theater occurs after the jump!

I first saw this clip at Dragon Con, on their excellent Dragon Con TV.  If you ever get to go to that Con…and you should, make certain that you tune in on your motel TV and check out some of the cooler things they have to show you.  Here’s a look at fan film Fast Times at Hero High (Personally, I love Lex Luthor in this!):

Coming up next, another favorite of mine, and another short that I caught at Dragon Con.  Admittedly, as a friend pointed out to me, the movie that this trailer would be showing you would be roughly 10 hours long.  But those would be the most awesome 10 hours you ever spent in your life!  I present Grayson, one of the best fan films ever made!  And, if you get the chance, swing by Youtube and check out the making of commentary by the maker of the film, John Fiorella.

And, last but by no means least, here’s a glimpse of a Flash video game that never finished production.  As you can see, it would have been a pretty badass game.  I’m guessing that the problem with finishing the game (besides not being able to find a distributor) is that The Flash really doesn’t have any bad guys that are worth a shit (Besides Gorilla Grodd…and he’s a MONKEY!) Here’s a look at The Flash video game that never was.

Six Bad Men. Yeah, I'm not the best with team names.

In accordance with April being self chosen Superhero Month, here’s a few videos to take up some time.  They’re all superhero themed, and one of my favorite ever fanfilms is in the mix.  Some JLU and Spectacular Spider-Man fill out the bill, but since there are copyrighted videos, you might want to look quick.  Let’s have a look at today’s Streaming Internet Theater, after the jump!

A few years ago, superfan Sandy Collora put together this wonderfully made Batman fan film that includes some interesting feature parts from some of science fiction’s nastier creatures.  Also of note, this Dead End stars the recently deceased Andrew Koenig with a masterful performance as The Joker.   Here’s Dead End:

Didn’t that kick ass?! Of course, being the dutiful Justice League Unlimited fan that I am, I couldn’t let this little bit of kickass slide by.  Here’s Wally West, The Flash, proving that he has what it takes to sit at the big boy Superhero table once and for all:

I think that the Saturday morning cartoon Spectacular Spider-Man is underrated.  It’s a wonderfully fun show that has managed to keep my interest even while it tampers with some of Peter’s background.  If you get a chance, give it a look.  Here’s Spider-Man taking on one of my favorite villain syndicates, The Sinister Six:

Yeah, I said his teeth are as yellow as his eyes! Scary, I know!

I don’t know why, but I find the following cartoon clips funny.  They’re really just repeated sayings from certain shows edited down to just those key things I find funny.  Find out why I think is so damn funny after the jump, but I warn you…there’s one clip in here that started me off laughing for a good ten minutes, and I STILL can’t explain why!  Videos for you after the jump!

Let’s start off simple.  From The Simpsons episode in season 4 entitled So It Has Come To This:  The Simpsons Clip Show, here’s Homer’s D’ohs.  I’m positively certain you’ve seen this before, just as I’m positive I don’t care what you’ve seen!  Enjoy!

Not to be outdone, The Simpsons sister show Futurama was/is one of the funniest shows on TV.  My favorite character?  Prof. Hubert Farnsworth.  You knew when he came in a room saying “Good News!” that something great was about to happen.   Then again, just him saying that is enough to keep me watching.  Let’s watch together, shall we?

And, now for the last.  There’s something truly infectious about The Joker, and the best actor to play him?  No, not the dead one with the Oscar!  Mark Hamill!  From various animated versions of him, here’s Mark Hamill best Joker laughs.  I don’t know why, but I can’t stop laughing at it!  HA!
