First of all, go watch Sentient Fish Rape 4 (with special guest star and actual person JohnnyUtah!). Don't not watch it, because I will cry.

I'm going to be screening some TLG Media animations and possibly doing some stand-up at The Gas NSFW Video Showcase in Allston MA on Friday. If you live close to Boston and enjoy things that are awesome you should come. Besides, what else are you going to do on Friday? Shop more?

Is this a rhetorical question? If you're going to insult me I'd appreciate a bit of context. Something along the lines of "[Insert movie title] sucked, you faggot" or "I disagree with your opinion of [my opinion] because of [intelligent, well thought out counterpoint], you cocksucker." Is that so much to ask?

This sentence makes my head hurt. I don't want to be a grammar nazi but I think we can all agree that this would benefit greatly from some punctuation, capitalization, and proper spelling. It doesn't take that long.

Subject: about your movie

The flash piece is very nicely done and I will provide a link back on the page where I put your flash.

Permission to host any other flash pieces you may have would also be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

The answer is no, Paul. Stop asking.

Terrorists Leaving Guantanamo

Each year, TLG MEDIA pools together their resources, ideas, dreams and ingenuity, and each year we try to outdo ourselves from the last twelve months. 2008 was truly a landmark year creatively for the team - myself - Chris Brown and Niraj Shah. Each animation unleashed to the Portal was caringly crafted and expertly refined. It's always been our main focus to produce content based on the highest-caliber quality of our abilities.

Now, we are honored to present BEST OF TLG MEDIA 2008 AWARDS! Remember, these winners are the best of the best of what TLG had to offer in 2008.

-----------------------------

BEST ADAPTED/ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: Niraj Shah, "Space Alligator, Episode 1"

"Space Alligator, Episode 1" wins the first TLG Award of 2008. For its clockwork-like plucking of the proverbial heartstrings throughout, the film's climax proves greater upon each viewing the daring metaphor for youth at risk and gang violence. "Space Alligator, Episode 1" may always hold a place in the canon of cinema for teaching everyong that there's simply "no pooping in space."

-----------------------------

BEST ACTRESS: Poop, "Space Alligator, Episode 1"

Poop never fails to surprise viewers with the diverse and edgy roles she continues to take. She stunned with her dramatic portrayal of a woman facing a maniacal killer bent on killing the only family that hadn't yet been killed. Always a method actress, Poop brutally murdered her father to prepare for the part.

-----------------------------

BEST DIRECTOR: Niraj Shah, "Space Alligator, Episode 1"

Text of Niraj Shah's acceptance speech at the 2008 TLG Awards telecast:
"I DENY YOUR PITHY AWARDS. I GOT INTO THIS FOR THE ART, NOT MEANINGLESS QUANTIZATION. SHAME ON YOU, MR BUSH. SHAME ON YOU. (short pause) MR BUSH. (uncomfortably long pause) DON'T PLAY ME OFF. I HAVE THINGS TO SAY, GODDAMNIT. THAT'S IT. Uh, thanks."

-----------------------------

The following awards were presented while you weren't looking.

ACHIEVEMENT IN SOUND DESIGN - Niraj Shah, "Space Alligator, Episode 1"
ACHIEVEMENT IN DIGITAL EFFECTS - Chris Brown & Niraj Shah, "Space Alligator, Episode 1"
ACHIEVEMENT IN COSTUME DESIGN - Chris Brown & Niraj Shah, "Space Alligator, Episode 1"

-----------------------------

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD: Poop

At a spry eighty-three years young, Poop wins TLG Media's 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award. Some may remember her first acting role in the 1953 Sid Davis public service reel, "Toilets And You!", singing the Communist era glory of American Standard while blasting artillery shells at Stalin Brand Commodes. But it was her breakout lead in the 1970s disaster flick "Torment of the Sewer People" that gained her global fame and her first Best Actress Award. Poop became just as active behind the lens, producing films through the next thirty years of her career. Most became notable classics, such as "On Golden Pond of Shit", "Raging Bull Poo", "The Thin Brown Line", "An Officer And A Gentleman With A Poo Moustache", "Three Men And A Baby And A Poo", and "The Unshitables". Poop accepted the award along with her husband of fifty-four years, Turdface Shitfart.

-----------------------------

BEST ACTOR: Space Monkey, "Space Alligator, Episode 1"

Virtually since he died nearly a year ago, Space Monkey has been the name on everyone's lips for the Best Actor award. "Space Alligator, Episode 1" director Niraj Shah accepted the award for Space Monkey, who died Jan. 22 from an accidental overdose of prescription fun balloons. TLG nominations come out on the anniversary of Space Monkey's death. Many stars were left wiping their eyes after a clearly emotional Niraj Shah, who directed Space Monkey as the psychopathic Space Monkey in the year's biggest hit, accepted the best actor award on Space Monkey's behalf. "I accept this with an awful mixture of sadness and intense pride," said Shah, who added that Space Monkey's death at just 28 meant "a hole had been ripped in the future of cinema."

-----------------------------

BEST PICTURE: "Space Alligator, Episode 1"

TLG Media's most outstanding animated feature of 2008, winner of TLG's Best Picture category - without even a hint of sarcasm, the BEST ANIMATION we made during 2008 - there was honestly NO BETTER ANIMATION we produced this year than THIS - I present to you, "Space Alligator, Episode 1."
