50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

Scary!

  • Uncategorized

I’ve done a lot of interesting things in my life. I’ve seen a lot of interesting places. I’ve made out with Ashley Judd. But something was always missing . . .
On Wednesday night, that all changed.
You see, on Wednesday night, I got to ride in the Munster Koach. To a Big Hollywood Screening. With Leonard Stone, Marilyn Monroe, George Barris and Screech.
Don’t worry. I had to read that twice myself. Take a minute to let that sink in. go ahead, get up, rub your head, and try to get a mental picture. Maybe these will help.
The whole thing was put together by my friend Wally to promote a pilot he did called Uncle Davver’s Really Scary Movie Show.
See, for years, Wally has held these parties over at the Silent Movie Theatre on Fairfax, where he screens cool old movies and puts on a bit of a show for all his friends. (About two years ago, I was asked to play Santa Claus at his Xmas show . . . but I was the worst Santa ever. The only gift I brought was one jar of Sauerkraut, and everyone had to share it.)
Most of Wally’s friends are incredibly talented performers. Many of them are improvisers, so the screenings quickly turned into a mixture of MST3K and Rocky Horror, and people started showing up more to listen to the audience even more than to watch the films.
Because we live in Hollywood, this super-fun party was, of course, turned into a TV concept: Wally plays this character “Uncle Davver” (pronounced like a-cadaver) who gathers his friends together to watch really scary (and awful) movies, and hilarity ensues. It’s shot just like one of those campy old Saturday Afternoon Horrorfests that you’d see on UHF back in the early ’80s, complete with awful puns like “Drew SCARYmore” and “Boys and GHOULS.”
I hear there are some Uncle Davver bootlegs already floating around the ‘net . . . if you see one, grab it. It’s hilarious.

    Uncle Willie, stop bragging! We all know you went to booty town in “The Game” and we’re all jealous enough as it is. You don’t need to remind us, it’s like hanging a juicy steak just out of reach of a starving man. 😉

    Boy. Why can’t we get cool part-ays like that over here in the Cultural Wasteland known as Australia?
    I wanna be Wil Wheaton when I grow up. He gets to do such cool stuff.

    Hey! I drove by there on Wednesday night and was trying to figure out why the Munster Koach was parked out front. Thanks for the unexpected explanation!

    Ahhh! It’s the shirt!
    So if the pilot gets picked up, Unca Willy’s gonna get the occasional guest spot with Unca Davver, right?

    Damn, that does look like a lot of fun! I love silly 80’s horror flicks. Did ya get a chance to see Kill Bill yet? I have a feeling you’d like it.
    Anyway…I’ll have to search the internet high & low for a bootleg copy of one of these shows.

    You got to ride the Munster Koach!! You BASTARD!! You are so lucky. I say for the next celebrity Boxing Match: Dustin “Screech” Diamond Vs. Wil “Wesley” Wheaton!!! I’d bet on Wil. (Was the suck-up too obvious?)

    Dude Wil.
    You need to get a new “I’m going out and paint the town red” shirt.. Literally, not a RED shirt.

    I always wondered if Dustin Diamond ever suffered from the same demise as TVSWILWHEATON… You get a chance to talk with him at all Wil? Cuz it’d be cool if you guys started hanging out, worked on a buddy-cop movie together or something like that… Both as teenage tv stars who were never looked past their role, now badass cops who play their own version of bad-cop-bad-cop in an attempt to clean up the city.
    Better yet if Patrick Stewart plays the lead villain and his henchman is Mario Lopez. Mark-Paul Glossar can make a cameo appearance as an NYPD cop visiting a la Miami Vice/Beverly Hills Cop…..

    I smell a photoshop over at Fark in the near future!!
    Wil and Dustin–in the same photo–I almost peed my pants.

    Oh yeah… and somewhere between Rocky Horror and MST3K?
    So… uh…. Rocky Horror?

    Hey Will,
    It is great to see the comments back on. For some reason I am not pinging on my blogroll. that you have updated.

    That must have been a wicked awsome ride. Im so pissed that im not wil wheaton.

    Dustin Diamond seemed like a very nice guy who knows where he currently is in his life. He’s trying to put that whole “Screech” thing behind him (which I prolly didn’t help, but it was a nice effect, wasn’t it?), and he seems happy with his efforts.
    His manager, OTOH, was one of those “I won’t look at you when I talk to you, and when I shake your hand I’m going to pointedly look for a bigger name to talk to” guys. Whatever.

    hey wil! wow, that really does look like a load of fun! i always wondered what Dustin Diamond was up to nowadays, and by the way, i LOVE that idea of Ebb Omega’s…the movie sounds like a great idea….does anyone LOVE MST3K as much as me?!? and its not big over in the UK at all! i must teach these people the way of the MST guys! ha ha
    take it easy wil…
    love ya

    Wil, you are my hero!
    Looks like you had a great time at that party:D Damn … I wish we could all go to cool things like that.

    It would be awesome to hang out with you at a party, Wil. Especially awesome if Screech was around..

  24. Tony R says:

    Sounds like a cool gig.

  25. Bird says:
    18 October, 2003 at 6:50 pm

    Awesome blog, Wil.
    Screech is looking like quite the bruiser these days. I bet he could kick some ass if push came to shove. George Barris rules; and who is that chick? She’s hotter than a hemmorhoid.
    A cupie doll for a picture of you with Steve Urkel.

  26. delphine says:
    19 October, 2003 at 3:34 pm

    Oh, the shirt. That thing deserves its OWN resume.
    I’m surprised that Dustin doesn’t have a blog. All the geek^H^H^H^H cool kids are doing it.

  27. Rob says:

    Dustin Diamond’s actually playing bass in a pretty cool bad (from the samples I’ve heard) called Salty the Pocketknife. Ordered the CD just because.

  28. DZ says:

    Hey, Wil! Don’t listen to them! I LOVE the shirt! 🙂 Glad you had such a nice time!
