Monday Mutterings

The Bastion spent some time in a Northside office last night assisting (i.e. eating snacks near) a film crew shooting a short comedy film for Robert Buscemi's upcoming DVD. Comedy concert footage was shot for the DVD at Buscemi's smash hit Subterranean show a few months back, and five short comedy films will be interspersed with that footage to create what we expect to be a hugely entertaining comedy product.
Blerds video mastermind Jordan Vogt-Roberts brought some big shiny lights and a camera, and Buscemi's charming wife Sarah Hadley was also on hand to assist with ketchup and whipped cream smearing duties.

Don't Spit the Water performer Jenni ("Mildred Funderbunk") Lamb was there to absorb mock insults and perform a few befuddled pratfalls. Quite a stretch from her well-received play Memento Polonia, which she wrote and starred in. There was some confusion over of the true meaning of "Whopper" (chocolate covered malted milk balls or Burger King beef on a bun?) but one thing is for sure: funny was made.
