Nobody’s Perfect (blooper reel)

admin — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:36:42 +0000

Of course we don’t get everything right the first time … or the second … heck, we use a lot of videotape making these short videos. Here’s some of the stuff we cut out over the past few years in an effort to make us look less idiotic (didn’t work, but we had to try).
Rather than just make it a blooper reel, our editor tries to show you what Dragon*ConTV has learned from our mistakes. We should all be geniuses by now …

These outtakes are from videos shot in 2007 & 2008. Unlike our normal videos, this contains a few choice moments of profanity and one moment that will disturb any lover of American sports cars. Seriously, it’s worse than Cash for Clunkers.

Young Guns (DCTV2009)

Let me get this straight … Chekov’s barely old enough to drive, the new Doctor looks like he’s fresh out of college and Captain Kirk isn’t played by some old dude from the Priceline commercials? When did everybody get so … young?

Some guests at Dragon*Con are polite, classy and fun at parties. Then, there are the other guests … ew!

Writers (DCTV2009)

admin — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:44:27 +0000

Fans keep asking actors why they said certain lines, or what their character was thinking during some pivotal scene … forget the actor, ask the writer who created that scene! Writers need more fan love!

Twilight Werewolves (DCTV2009)

New Moon will be in theaters shortly, so get ready for the girls to go gaga over werewolves … but watch out for that imprinting. Animal control will have their hands full.

Syfy (DCTV2009)

admin — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:00:48 +0000

The change over from SciFi Channel to Syfy seems to have gone smoothly, but it still creeps us out. In fact, it made a few of us go a wee bit crazy …

Saturday Night Scifi (DCTV2009)

admin — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:12:17 +0000

We love to pick on SNL, but they do contain much that is awesome … like links to some great sci-fi films. Okay, a lot of bad sci-fi films too … but at least one good sci-fi film has ties back to Saturday Night Live.

With New Moon about come out, we have to make sure this Twilight bumper gets released in time for you to make fun of the poor puppies that are about to be slaughtered in this teen-drama … someone call the ASPCA!

Olmos the Inventor (DCTV2009)

admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 07:00:37 +0000

We really missed Edward James Olmos (”Eddy”) at Dragon*Con 2009, but he was off making “The Plan” for SyFy. At Dragon*Con 2008 he told us he basically invented SciFi (not SyFy), so we made this tribute to his inventive nature.

Note for Class (DCTV2009)

admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:53:25 +0000

Dragon*ConTV needs a sick note for missing a few days of posts in October (sorry). Looks like some people needed an excuse note for a few days after Dragon*Con … we tried to help, but I don’t think it turned out well.

They will make a movie out of anything these days, so we’ll make fun of those movies before they even get made … just so we don’t have to do it later.

Dragon*Con 2009 Masquerade Intro

admin — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 10:00:21 +0000

We at Dragon*ConTV love the Muppet Show … and we’ve wanted to do a Muppet-themed opener for years. Now we finally got around to it, complete with a filk version of the original theme song.

Mmm, the Masquerade it is, at Dragon*Con 2009! (laughs)

It’s time to put on costumes
It’s time to dress up right
It’s time to meet contestants at The Masquerade tonight.

It’s time to dress like Klingons
Or furry Jedi Knights
It’s time to raise the curtain on The Masquerade tonight.

Why do the humans come here
I guess we’ll never know
It’s like a kind of probing
To have to watch the show

And now let’s get things started
Why don’t you get things started
Time now to get things started
On the most sensational inspirational cost-u-tational Mas-que-rade-nal
This is what we call the Masquerade!

Lens Flare (DCTV2009)

Like Showering (DCTV2009)

admin — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 22:00:12 +0000

One constant issue at Dragon*Con is personal hygiene … it’s over 30,000 people in several confined spaces, so these sort of things are bound to happen. Of course, Dragon*ConTV has some helpful hints.

Lazy Fantasy (DCTV2009)

admin — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 18:00:23 +0000

People think fantasy gets no credit because Dragon*Con is considered a “sci-fi” convention. We at Dragon*ConTV love fantasy, and we use this video to demonstrate the difference between sci-fi and fantasy.

Hollywood Economy (DCTV2009)

Hollywood knows times are tough, because producers hear about it from their “people” … so it will eventually make it into sci-fi content.

What happens when Jonathan Coulton writes yet another bouncy happy song about something weird? Well, Dragon*ConTV turns it into an 80’s sitcom intro … that seems logical.
