We perform at 11pm with the super-awesome Hot Sauce!http://www.willhines.net/2008/07/22/hermanos-hines-esta-noche/ The Line- July 21, 2008 The Line, a web series which stars Bill Hader and Joe Lo Truglio (co-written by Hader and Simon Rich, directed by Seth Myers), but with supporting roles from the people you see above &8212; debuted today on crackle.com. it&8217;s about a bunch of nerds waiting in line for 11 days to see a sci-fi movie (&8221;FutureSpace&8221;). Will Hines and Gavin Speiller fans will have to wait until episode two to see us (beyond flashes of us in the pre-credits teaser) but you can see Gethard, Moynihan and..http://www.willhines.net/2008/07/21/the-line/ Stan Musial Was Never Thrown Out of a Game- July 21, 2008 Here&8217;s a short and cool essay about Stan Musial, the St. Louis Cardinal outfielder who is one of the best baseball players of all time and rarely talked about. He was also famously nice and generous. The opening story about how he was never once thrown out of a game is amazing all by itself. I found it through Rob Neyer&8217;s ESPN blog. I always want to believe that famous people &8212; actors, atheletes, authors &8212; are &8220;nice.&8221; I don&8217;t know why, but I do. And it&8217;s..http://www.willhines.net/2008/07/21/stan-musial-was-never-thrown-out-of-a-game/ Acci-douched- July 21, 2008 This happened a few months ago, but it&8217;s funny so I&8217;m posting about it now anyway. Tabitha works at Spring Street Natural, so I met her there after her shift one Saturday afternoon. We decided we wanted coffee, and Balthazar is right next door to her restaurant. Despite being a snobby place for paparazzi-hungry celebrities, Balthazar also has pretty cheap and good coffee available to go, so we got two cups. We were going to Terry Jinn&8217;s to watch Battlestar Galactica, and decided..http://www.willhines.net/2008/07/21/acci-douche/ The 10 Mental Illnessess Batman Clearly Has- July 21, 2008 The 10 Mental Illnessess Batman Clearly Has. Fear of clowns is number one. Via Journalistahttp://www.willhines.net/2008/07/21/the-10-mental-illnessess-batman-clearly-has/ Summarizing Watchmen. My apologies in advance.- July 18, 2008 I apologize: more comics talk. It&8217;s Dark Knight day, for Pete&8217;s sake! It&8217;s OUR DAY! Today we discuss how to summarize Watchmen. Watchmen is a revered graphic novel, but it&8217;s also a story so dense and complicated that it&8217;s hard to read, especially for those not already immersed in the superhero world. I&8217;ve tried to summarize it (unsolicited) many times before, and failed. But last night, after watching the Watchmen movie trailer (which looks AWESOME), I stumbled on..http://www.willhines.net/2008/07/18/summarizing-watchmen-my-apologies-in-advance/ 15 Seconds- July 18, 2008 Here&8217;s 15 Seconds, another UCB Comedy video I helped produce. Written by Chris Kelly. Directed by Mitch Magee. Shotedited by Todd Bieber. Originally done by 27 Kidneys at Maude Night. Check it out! This is one of my favorite sketches I&8217;ve ever seen at UCBT, because it surprised me even though I&8217;ve seen a million &8220;bomb defusing&8221; scenessketches before. We wanted to find a real warehouse to film in, but I couldn&8217;t locate one with a location fee of under $400 &8212;..http://www.willhines.net/2008/07/18/15-seconds/ Zot Kisses Jenny- July 17, 2008 The panel above is one of my favorites in all the comics I&8217;ve read. It&8217;s on the last page of Zot! issue 12 where Zot, a superhero from a alternate reality Earth where everything is perfect, kisses Jenny, a &8220;normal&8221; girl from our Earth. It was sweet, optimistic and refreshingly NORMAL. Why did Spider-Man so often turn away from Mary Jane Shouldn&8217;t the hero be happy to have a girlfriend, and just kiss her Zot and Jenny were in love and so they kissed each other. It...http://www.willhines.net/2008/07/17/zot-kisses-jenny/ Polchek Subs- July 14, 2008 Another video from UCBComedy-NY! Polchek subs! Written by Jesse Acini. Directed by Brandon Bassham.
