The Weather Brain
Nicely written good build up and convincing characters.
Dave you're a pretty decent actor.

Cheers, Soots. Still got a way to go before I'm happy with the acting side of things but I'm happy with the progress so far.
Glad you liked the sketch. Mathew Stott is responsible for the writing this time around.
Yes I noticed a violent threat he made against me with a Leopard.
Glad to be both amusing and a muse.
Maybe though a few more humanising tweaks with the weather brain make it a bit more mundane?
Maybe it's not very good with snow or Micheal Fish was fed to it for a wrong prediction?
A touch of the banal can show up the sureal.

Don't feel special now, I threaten everyone with a leopard, it's my standard initial threat.
Very good.
Purely because I'm intrigued, which voice is whose?

I play the manic Boss and Matthew plays my fearful protege. As in real life.
what masculine voices you both have.
Acting and writing not quite as good as 'The Shyamalan Excuse' (to my ears for whatever reason) but still good.
I threw a little paddy and deleted this post.

*adopts room shaking baritone* Thank you!

Certainly it's a more cartoonish performance. Cheers for listening.
Quote: WoodMeister @ April 21 2009, 11:39 AM BSTI disagree with Yacob, I think this is a better sketch than 'Excuse', which relies heavily on the plotlines from the films to work. 'Brain' is better because it's created entirely by you guys and does not rely on knowledge/material from someone else's films to work. I like 'excuse' too, but in my massively valuable opinion, 'Brain' is superior. I am impressed. Now you can sleep soundly in your beds, for 'woodmeister' hath been impressed by thee.
I prefer it for the same reason, even though I do like Shyamalan (I can say this because I wrote neither).
Are the wavs available to download on your website or even YTube? Podomatic throws my PC into wobblies.

Sadly, not right now. They're really just rehearsals at this stage so I'm reluctant to showcase them on my website. With all my other garbage.
Nice one Bend-it-like-Bussell. Good performances and writing.

Thanks, but the writing is all Matt's.
