It could be a nice plug for PonyFans too!

BTW - most people don't know this, but our own PonyPride was one of the two researchers on the film! As Cake says, "Excess ain't rebellion," people!

...

BTW - I'm still hunting - with an APB - for that hot chick my brother saw wearing a tee-shirt with a pic of DickerJames that said, "THE U BEFORE THE U". I didn't see it myself, but when my bro told me about seeing her and it on the 'Vard, I was like, "Big time, Matula... you've done it."

Not necessarily looking for her, but really for anyone else who might have seen it. I know my bro is not making it up. Okay, I am looking for her. Daddy needs a date to the prom.

This is something I did (for free) for June in one day. I have zero rights to the music, etc. June had Ron Meyer speak at an event. I'm really very underwhelmed by my work on it, but it was right smack in the middle of Pony Excess work. I didn't take any pros off of it, and I delivered it right at the wire. I'd change around the wording at the end to make the last two statements flip in the order of placement, and leave them on the screen longer, plus tighten EVERYTHING up. In my opinion this is kind of a mess, but if you have yet to see it... here it be:

(It should be noted that - even though I joked about a bar tab - if you guys really want to do this, I wouldn't take a cent. Everything would go towards badassery.)

I'm in for 100.

I like the U, but the intro wasn't very good. I trust you to come up with something better.

No that intro kinda' ... well I won't say anything, but you get my drift. Sorry, Billy Corben if someone sends you this link. (Billy C. - the director of The U - and I have kind of become good friends through this process.)

We used The U as our measuring stick. Knowing that we'd score a huge number (viewership-wise for the premiere) BECAUSE of The U. That is one of a thousand things that made this film different from how I intended... but all for rational reasons, and most made it better.

...

Anyway, I was using that as an example of the shift from over-dramatic music into something jacked-up. I would see us using "Rudy"-type/war music over the footage of Mustang legends, etc. shift to the Mustang Band with their cadence and yell opening to Peruna, the double "hey, hey" and "M-U-S-T-A-N-G-S", with the drums, and then go into something crazy.

Maybe even go into Peruna and then skip out to a hip hop remix, then rap.

After the masterpiece Pony Excess, I have no doubt Thad would do a tremendous job. My wife is a Texas Tech alum, and even she has watched it several times. She's had comments like, "half of the people in that movie, were at our wedding". Pony Up!

I am in !!!!
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Deal. As long as I don't have to put Sarah Palin in there saying "hopey changey".

However -- RGV, you still got that June Jones HOPE icon I cobbled together for you? That could be in there. ;)

Somebody - who is not me - should set up a paypal account for this, and once it hits 5K, I'll go to work. Maybe we can even get it up to 15K.

Panties will drop.

Not for me.

For you married dudes, it will be your wives (and her friends too, but just say thanks and stay faithful). For your single dudes, it will be a plethora of Kappas, Pi Phis, Tri-Delts, and host of other Greek-lettered girls. ("She's got daddy's money and momma's good looks, But she's traded in her books, For some letters on her chest, And I'm staring at her ..."

... for me, it will be on to the next project. Sigh. One day I've got to make this film thing work for me in the world of the girl tango.
