Free Bat Day

What has become of our very own ChainGangGuy in recent days? Friends, he has been a part of FREE BAT DAY.

This gets BIG PROPS from me because unlike virtually everything else uploaded to Youtube, half the file's size is not taken up by the credits.

Gerrit, if you're out there... well done, my friend. Well done.

Having watched it a couple times today, I can confirm that yes, it is the greatest thing in the history of video.

Gerrit plays the scientist. For those wondering.

It is like every horror movie boiled down to the bare basics and presented in 16mm. A sure cult classic in the years to come.

Gerrit was also in a video called "Adult Films and You." Also available through Youtube!

Gerrit, we have not forgotten you!

There was more of Gerrit in "Adult Films and You" but also less of him, in a sense. I nevertheless enjoyed it. Although Free Bat Day is the true gem of the collection.

And by collection, I guess I mean "all the videos that Youtube has collected."

Joe McFadden, who was involved in the production of Free Bat Day, is responding to comments on the Youtube thread, so perhaps we can convince him to come on over here and give us an exclusive. I just worry that I might not have enough good questions for him. I've got that one about "defining the magic" handy, but nothing else I can really run with.

So, it is true that Joe McFadden, presumed director of "Free Bat Day", is running an impromptu Q&A over at YouTube. This is just _________.

Judging from that last sentence, it looks like omission is possible.

Perhaps you should withhold your questions until after the 48 Hour Film Project in mid-June. ____ would be a fine idea.

(My prediction for the blank is "goddamn" so I will capitalize that going forward.)

Yeah, I'll do that. And then I am going on a GOD DAMN interview hunt. I am going to interview everyone involved in these GOD DAMN things through e-mail. Then upload my GOD DAMN results to this website in order for everyone to read and enjoy, GOD DAMN YOU.
