"Hello,my name is Brandon,and I'm from Medfield. I called you on Monday and you told me to send you an email.Well I'm a big fan of your You Tube page it is hilarious,and I think you are a talented writer/filmmaker. I can tell from the videos that you're a fan of Guns 'n Roses. I myself am a huge GNR fan. I've read the book "Slash" and have watched many interviews and also what I can find on Netflix of their concerts.They are my second favorite band next to Van Halen. I play guitar a lot and I love to play GNR riffs. My favorite is the entire Sweet Child O' Mine solo. I know you can play "When The Saints Go Marching In" (love that video) but is there anything else you can play? Do you play in Build A Machine (Dick Blow Head classic) or any other band. Give me a wed site if you do,because I'd like to support you. Finally I need some stickball man let's make it happen Walpole vs Medfield sounds good to me."

This is some of the best shit you've put up....give me more please." "this boy right here is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!.........A-MAZE-ING!!!" "cool site. you got talent bud." "Hi Matt I'm a film student from Ireland and I read your article "Haters Of Liberty". You're absolutely right about people liking to knock celebrities. I worked as an extra on a TV series being shot called The Tudors. Jonathan Ryes Meyers was starring in it and you wouldn't believe how much we made fun of him. For example, there is a story going around that he went out with Scarlett Johannsen and then broke up with her, so we were convinced he was a fucking idiot. I'd say that one probably sprung from jealousy more than anything else. Ordinary people feel inferior to good looking, successful celebrities like Meyers or Tom Cruise, so they like to knock them off their lofty positions. This is responsible for the success of celebrity magazines that show glamorous celebrities with cellulite or acne or whatever. I think the reason celebrities get so much of this abuse is that they're so vulnerable to it. I think that the people who watch the shows you are talking about and laugh at celebrities for doing something stupid should maybe ask why they want to see something like that. However there is one point you didn't make. I know it's an obvious one and it's got nothing to do with the main point you're making but the fact is that these shows are junk. The popularity of these shows-they're being made in Ireland and UK by the way-reflects that TV networks are short on ideas for shows and it also reflects how passive viewers are. People should start saying, "I'm not going to watch this, not because it's morally dubious but because it's junk. Life must have more to offer than this." I think people need to get it into their heads that watching bad TV is like eating junk food. And like with junk food, if people could stop watching it for a while, they couldn't go back. Do you know why? Because it's actually mind-numbingly boring and repetetive. The same way anyone who eats healthily couldn't eat at McDonald's. Like Cassavetes said, a lot of people stop living at the age of 21. When people watch junky TV without questioning it, they're not living, because they're obviously not thinking. Good luck Sean" "This is sick! I can't believe how funny you are! I barely got through this thing without pissing my pants from laughing at you. This is so sick and funny as hell! This is why I fanned your silly ass! Good work!" "Thanks for sending me the scripts. After months of reading crap, I was finally able to get to yours. I love the personality of them. It was quite refreshing! Your voice is one of the most original and exciting I've read so far. Keep it up!" "I thought your script "Pure Sextacy" was great. It was extremely funny and with the right actor I think this would be a riot. I love all the repetition and the way these thoughts keep echoing around in his head throughout his day (even in the most inappropriate places). A wonderful comedy script. I would be shocked if this doesn't get made soon. --Chris Messineo, Founder: Moviepoet.com" "I loved you slumber party vids, PLEASE make more, I can even suggest some B-movies" "Hey. The video for BAM (Push) is awesome, Burnsy. God must have told you to make it while you were playing with your doll. -Matt G"
