Initially, I thought it would be great to kind of adapt Filmdrunk into the broadcast world (i.e., your attitude/commentary in almost an Ebert & Roper setting). One of the main selling points being that you’d be free to praise or condemn whatever movies you like. I’ve run the idea by our Legal puds and while we’re (technically) allowed to give opinion, the studios we’re in bed with would no doubt be seriously pissed if we had you on the network telling everyone how big a piece of shit Fred Claus is going to be.

That’s right, folks.  I could be doing TV, but FilmDrunk is just too real, so I’ll just keep on keepin’ it real in my real-ass basement in my real-ass underpants with their real-ass ass stains.  Advantage: …uh, probably advantage MTV still, huh?
