"My name in print....
Things are going to start happening to me now!" [news]

First, can you name the film the quote above comes from?
Answer below.

I got a couple calls from friends, telling me that the latest Disc Makers catalogue had a quote from me in there. Of course I had to check it out.

I downloaded the catalogue in electronic form (PDF); and sure enough, there on page 20 was a quote taken from what I had written to them after receiving the DVDs of The McPassion. So, I decided to have some fun with it, trying out some of my new Photoshop plug-ins from a company called Alien Skin.


Click the small image below to view a larger image and read my kiss-ass quote (they really did do a great job by the way, and I do recommend them) and to also see those Alien Skin plug-ins in action.

If anyone out there actually cares, I cut the section out using the lasso tool to make the rough edge. Then I used the Alien Skin "Crumple" set on a very low amount. Then I decided to try the Alien Skin "Burnt Edges." I set the burn color to about 50% grey and made it not too extreme. Then I selected just the edge and added a bit of a Gaussian blur. And as the final touch, I added the requisite drop shadow. Exciting, huh? Can you contain yourself?


A: The Jerk (Directed by Carl Reiner).
Navin R. Johnson (Steve Martin) utters that line when he sees his name in print –– in the phonebook. This immediately precedes the scene in which a crazed gunman starts shooting at him while he's working at the gas station.
