Screw On Head

It's only Thursday but I'm dreaming of the upcoming 3 day Laborday weekend. My folks will be in town and I plan on crashing thier hotel to swim in the pool. They're staying in Santa Monica to attend a wedding, and i think it will be just the thing with how it's been getting hotter every day. Last night we watched the animation The Amazing Screw On Head. It's from a comic of this screw on head guy who was an aid to President Lincoln and fights a guy called Emperor Zombie in ye olden civil war days. It was good and super funny, but was described by Netflix at 40 minutes long, and really it was only 24 minutes long. We felt ripped off. The movie could easily be expanded too, the characters could be explored and there was room for tons of development of the story, but in the behind the scenes they explained they wanted it this way so it would move quickly and abruptly like comic book frames. I did not agree, I think they were making excuses. It was supposed to be a pilot for a TV series, but didn't get picked up wich explained how abrupt it was, but I think they should have just made a full on movie. Anyway it had voices of Molly Shannon, Paul Giamatti, Patton Oswalt and David Hyde Pierce.
