Special Unit - The Movie (In Process)

My favorite comedian besides Fluffy (Gabriel Iglesias) is Christopher Titus. If you remember, he briefly had a series on the Fox network (three seasons I think) as well as specials on Comedy Central, the latest now on DVD being Voice In My Head.

I mention this because he is trying to make a movie. The premise is a worn down cop who, because of the Americans With Disabilities Act, has to hire a crew of people who are differently abled.

This movie, made with his friends, some who he has known for years, is mostly being funded by Christopher himself, the rest he's trying to raise through the website FundAnything.com that, depending on how much you can contribute, gives you some really cool stuff.

Now this sounds great and I've seen a clip which was hilarious. No this does NOT make fun of people with disabilities, but it does portray a REAL picture of what differently abled people have to deal with. But Facebook, with its usual slanted view of what is acceptable and what is not (Make fun of the President? Sure, slander away. Have a movie with disabled people starring in it? BAN IT!) at first just removed his clip of what the movie would be about and then when Christopher continued and gave the address of the place for movie funding, they decided to remove that also. Now as of today, 10/13, they have let him keep the latest post he's made but that can change at any time. 

Note: I checked this on 5/17/14 and found the link gone once again so I got a new link to it so it's back on top of the page. If you see it disappear again please let me know.

Here is his pitch: 

I'M REPOSTING THIS SO I CAN ASK YOU TO SHARE IT. 

Hey,
We are making a movie. We need your help. The movie is called Special Unit and we are using the funniest comics out there, Josh Blue, Brad Williams, Michael Aronin. Oh yeah, the movie is Lethal Weapon meets the Special Olympics. My friends who are considered "Disabled" never get work on movies unless its a "special little hero" or in Brad's case, elf or magical sidekick to a wizard. I had this Idea because my friends are tired of not getting the shot they deserve and Hollywood is so PC the won't consider it. " What if we make someone mad?" "What if an advertiser pulls out?" So we are crowd funding it. 

Disabled people used to be hidden away in homes now this PC world is doing the same thing. " We have to protect them, we'll put them in movies where they can be treated a certain way." Bullshit. Besides being balls-out funny we want to change the way these guys are seen and dealt with. Watch the video and if I have ever made you laugh, if you listen to the podcast for free for almost three years now, kick in. 

If Josh Blue, Brad Williams or Michael Aronin has ever pulled a laugh from you, then go to fundanything.com kick in a 20 or a hundo. (you get cool shit if you do that) and be a part of one funny ass movie and help give these guys a shot.
Thanks - TITUS

Note: All funding campaigns have ended.

Special Unit update. We start shooting the last week in October, 2014. Everlast has signed on to do the music and the score. WHAT! Rewriting the script now. - Titus

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES - IN 3D!







Scar 3D (2007)

This movie has several things to make it distinctive. No it's not a good plot or effects. Despite the main character played by Angela Bettis (the new Carrie) and an OMG appearance by Christopher Titus (my favorite stand-up comedian of all time), it is the first US produced 3D full length feature film to be completed in HD 3D and the first-ever 3D Video on demand film released for 3D televisions. I know, I know - I almost wet myself too. Okay that's totally sarcastic - for one, who can afford 3D TV's? Who wants one? Oh goody, my show's on - get me my bad glasses would you honey? Oh, and don't forget the aspirin...

That being said (and I'm really sorry Christopher) this movie really sucked. It was so incredibly contrived and obvious that once again I took my horror movie worksheet (patent pending) and was able to pretty much lay out the movie within the first ten minutes. I only had to change a couple of things because this movie made no sense and I do.

Once upon a time there was a nasty serial killer named Bishop who was also the town's mortician so he had privy to all kinds of nasty instruments of torture. He loved to take two at a time, and play a game - he would torture one then the other to see who would crack first and beg him to kill the other so they could go free. Of course no one went free (DUH) 'cause he would have been caught, right? Joan and her best friend are the latest two but somehow Joan escapes and leaves town but the nightmares never stop...

Years later she's grown and comes back to town (NO DON'T COME BACK!!!) to go to her niece's graduation. Her brother (Christopher Titus) is a cop who is raising the girl by himself since his wife died. Before graduation can happen though, kids start disappearing and showing up with the same kind of torture marks Bishop always left. Trouble is, to get away Joan had killed Bishop.

But kids keep showing up dead. Joan is now having massive flashbacks (so we can get the story, duh) and we find out that she actually after only one cut told Bishop to kill her friend - he does. He goes off to finish an embalming of someone else when Joan gets free. She then plunges the embalming needle into him, killing him. Since then she's been plagued by guilt, nightmares, and of course the one scar on her face.

But who's killing the kids? She's convinced it's Bishop, the whole town (including her brother) think it's her - after all, people didn't start dying until she came back. I had the killer but not the motive - a loner who her niece was actually nice to has been doing the killing because he wanted revenge against the kids who shunned him - but why the niece? She had been nice but then again, he just liked killing. But there wasn't a backstory on him so I didn't know his motive, just that whenever they showed a group of kids he was kind of standing off to the side (watch those kids).

So a bunch of people die (including Christopher - nice blood spurt from the neck there fella) until it's found out - but not before her niece had to tell the kid to kill her best friend so she could go free. She asks Joan if the memories ever go away. I'm thinking the same thing about this damn movie.
