Silent but Deadly: An Evening of Comedy Shorts
Tuesday, January 6, 2009
7:00-10:30 P.M.
MoMA
Watch a selection of silent comedy shorts from MoMA's collection, followed by short videos made in response by some of today's finest comedians. Ron Magliozzi, Assistant Curator, Department of Film, along with his colleagues Steve Massa and Ben Model, have selected some "cruel and unusual" slapstick comedy shorts from the silent era that explore social, cultural, and political subjects in rude and shocking ways. PopRally has invited contemporary comedians to react with their own video creations. MoMA silent film accompanist Ben Model will be at the piano.
Comedian Max Silvestri will host this unique evening of historic shorts and comic creations by Nick Kroll, Joe Mande, Gabe & Jenny, ThunderAnt (Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein), You Look Nice Today, and more. A reception follows. Doors and bar open at 7:00; show starts promptly at 8:00.
Visit the PopRally Web site for further details on this event.
Pretty cool, huh?
I don't know where our video went on the internet so for now I present you with photographic evidence that Michel Gondry was at the event and therefore (unless he was asleep, in the bathroom, in the hallway on the phone, or closing his eyes while plugging his ears and going "lalalalala") saw a video that I made and possibly (complete speculation) chuckled at something I did.

Neat blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would
really make my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your design.

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I do think that you ought to write more on this issue, it may not be a taboo

To the next! Best wishes!!
