Movie Magic!!
This weekend I visited my nephews. We always have a lot of fun, but this weekend was a riot. While watching Excalibur (quite possibly the worst movie EVER made and oops! it was rated R! We skipped some scenes!) we played "Mystery Science Theater3000" and busted chops throughout. From this an idea was born. We revised and brainstormed to make a movie based on our ridiculous spoofs of Excalibur. We are disgusting, but we are funny! The following is a cast list, synopsis, memorable quotes and other movie details.

I cannot wait to see this movie! It hasn't been released where I live yet. The premise, tho ridiculous, is probably hysterical since CC, Tom , Nate and Kevin are in it together! Hurry and relase it!!! The Anticipation is KILLING me!
This is disgusting! I cannot believe you made a movie about a piece of crap!!! Because it Is a piece of crap!!!
"Poop in a Tree" is what Indie Filmaking is all about. Way to get back to basics guys! Kudos! I eagerly await your next project!
I realize that most people will read this and think I am completely nuts. A movie about a petrified piece of poop? Well, I probably am nuts and you probably gathered that form previous posts, but toilet humor rules! (Especially when you are spending the weekend with your nephews!)
Maybe it's a case of "Yeah, I guess you had to be there" but we had fun with it. I haven't laughed so hard for that long in a few weeks at least!
I am sure our next film will be more realistic, but you can also bet that we will still have some Monty Python-esque moments included to keep the spirit light!
We had a blast filming this movie and I hope we can do many more!
What was that awesome song that was used in the beginning and end of your movie??
Thanks for the question Bob! That was actually a song called "Something Diabolical" by the Bloodhound Gang. Tom thought it would be the perfect soundtrack to our movie, and boy was he right!!!
You are SILLY. I love it. Thanks for providing a laugh today. Whoo hoo!
I was fortunate enough to sit in for a screening of "Poop in a Tree". Its a must see. CC's singing must be heard by the masses.
I know Poop in a Tree is a working title...so I have some suggestions...how about
"Poop in the Pines" or Poop in the Poplar" or "Feces in the Fir" or "Feces in the Fig tree"
I am wondering, from a Marketing standpoint, if "Poop" should be used in the title at all. It may hurt our opening weekend until word gets out that is is the best movie of the year! Perhaps we should go with Petrified...
Discuss!
Hey, simplicity worked for Snakes on a Plane...stick w/ what works!
As a media critic, I can safely say:
"Poop in a Tree" is so brilliantly, and hysterically perfect that we're laughing so hard we've literally stopped breathing. Despite the indie-film stereotypes, the actors find humanity in their roles and stick to it through every joke and tragedy. An absolute must see of the 2006 season."
Wicca, that review was hysterical in itself! I am so glad noone (so far)has been alienated by my sick sense of humor and that you are embracing it! I hope you will critique more of our movies as they become available!:)
