It's Hot with Eddie Monster: A 21 Questions interview

The Comedy short It's Hot! has attracted a wide audience on Myspace and even won the Comedy award at the 2007 Casablanca FutureVision Film Festival. This short video is very comical and many of us can relate, whether you live in a warm climate like Texas or if you have experienced a heat wave or two. I took some time out to interview Eddie "Monster" Evans about the funny short.

What is the name of the movie that you worked on and what is it about?
Well the name of the film is ITS HOT. It is about a guy that is dealing with hot temps.

What is your role in the movie?
I play the role of the hot guy.

How did you get to play this role ?Well me and my partner/homeboy wrote the script for me.

What did you enjoy most about making this movie?
It was fun bringing your own ideas to life. In other words i liked everything about making it!! 4REAL!!

What was one of the funniest moments that occured on set while making the movie?
I think it would be the scene were i was waking up out of bed. We had to do that scene over and over. But it was funny having to wake up yelling over and over again.

What is your favorite scene in the movie?
Thats a hard one for me. So i will go with what i got the most laughs at from other people. Which was the fan scene that had one blade on it. LOL

Are there any Similarities between you and the character you play in this movie?
YES! We wrote the script from true events.

Have you been to any film festivals where this movie has screened?No.

What kind of food did you eat while on set?
To be honest, I do not remember.

Explain the typical work day while working on this movie.

What was your worst movie theater experience?
I think it would be when I got kicked out of the movies cause the people I was with, kept talking during the movie.

Should parents be allowed to bring young children to movie theaters?
I don't see why not. they are the kids parents.

If you could have chosen any character to play in a previously released Hollywood film, who would it be and why?
Let me see...SPIDER MAN/Peter Parker in SPIDER MAN 3. Cause he was able to be two different personalities in one film. SPIDER MAN and BLACK SPIDER MAN. Now that I make movies myself, i should just creat a two dementional characture on my own.

Have you done crew work or in any other areas of filmmaking? If so, what were they and on what movies?
Man I have done it all like grip, lighting, sound, camera, casting, and everything else. This is independent work!! I have on LIFES LITTLE GAPS, TIMMY, PRANK, BEYOND THE GLASS, PAPAS GONE MISSING, THE VENDING MACHINE, and some other ones but i just cant think of them at the moment. Sorry to the ones I missed.

Do you act in independent films for the money, for fame, because you are bored or for mere pleasure?
well I would like to make some money, I just havent yet. I dont need fame, but it could help me get to the money. I do get bored easy and it gives me something to do that is positive. I also love doing this. Is that a good answer?

Do you prefer Hollywood films, Independent films or a combination of the two?
A combination of both.

Do you have any other jobs aside from acting?
I have a 9 to 5. That pays the bills until I get alittle fame and then I get casted for a paying role. I have a warehouse job.

DelightfulDeliveries.com Recognized as Hot 100 Retail Website

It is worthwhile to use the best companies and retailers when buying holiday gifts. DelightfulDeliveries.com is an ideal destination for Gourmet Gifts to give family and friends. If you don't have any family or friends, I accept them as your favorite director or favorite blogger.

DelightfulDeliveries.com is favorable among many shoppers because of the reliability that is provided and that can be expected. This is great when it comes to holiday shopping, because I will be the first to tell you that bad companies get worse around the holidays. Just imagine if you ordered something and then received completely different merchandise or if you sent a gift to a relative and it went somewhere else. This is the drama that occurs every year and can be aggravating for shoppers. That is why it may be best to pick up items yourself. However, if you must have something delivered, it is best to go with a trustworthy company that provides great service.

DelightfulDeliveries.com did not become recognized by large news outlets such as Good Morning America and The Food Network for nothing. The website is organized well and easy to navigate through and find gift baskets and gourmet meals of your preference. I thought that DelightfulDeliveries.com only offered sweets like brownies, cookies, pies and cake, but they have even more items. I recently found out that seafood, ham, steak and more that can be ordered for delivery right to your front door (or another location of your choosing if you're sending a gift basket full of chocolates, cakes and other goods).

This place is affordable and will fit just about any budget. As I stated before, I accept gifts and would enjoy a gift from DelightfulDeliveries.com because their snacks look delicious. The gift baskets are put together well and display the inside items nicely. These baskets could also be given as holiday gifts to co-workers and employees. I remember giving classmates and teachers cards for the holidays. If you are in school or are a parent, this is a great opportunity to upgrade your gifts and send something from DelightfulDeliveries.com to a favorite teacher. You deserve the best as do your friends and relatives, so it would only be logical to choose this place for your gift basket, snack and gourmet food ordering needs. There is not need to only take my word for it, here is the news on the company being named among the best retail websites:

How to tell if you’re a TV addict Part 1

These 2 points are just a few indications that you are a TV addict. Find out if any of them resembles your behavior.

You only talk during commercials
People who do not care much about TV shows are not bothered when they are distracted from the television. There are other citizens who will not allow distractions when they are watching a TV show. This particular behavior demonstrates that you are a TV addict. I know people who will not answer the doorbell or telephone if their favorite TV show is on. While I do not consider myself to be someone that goes to this extreme, I have rushed conversations in order to catch every second of 24 episodes. No one can blame me, the Fox drama series with Kiefer Sutherland is very action packed.

You never forget the air dates
If you know exactly when and where Gilmore Girls or Big Love is coming on, that demonstrates TV addict behavior. The average citizen is not going to know what day and time 24 comes on. Most people flip through various television channels and watch anything that entertains them. If you do not believe me, walk outside and ask someone to tell you what day and time Big Love airs on TV. More than likely, the person will not know. If you are lucky, you may run into someone who happens to be a big fan of the show. In these cases, my recommended experiment does not apply.

A few more indications of "TV Addict" behavior will be listed in a future post.
