Look Who Smells Now!

Back in the day, there was this rather awesome game called The Movies (which I’ve just noticed can be bought from Amazon for £1.99! A bargain). In The Movies, one ran a movie studio. Building sets, hiring actors, directors and so on. It was pretty fun.

Of course, me being me, I didn’t actually play the game for a good couple of years after it came out. That’s how I roll. But, my flatmate at the time Paul, being Paul, had it quite quickly. He wasn’t very good at the game. His actors were all pissed off alcoholics. The problem was Paul actually made proper (if anything Paul does can be described as proper) films. The game would provide you with scripts, or you could write your own. The game’s scripts were 2-3 scenes long. Paul’s were often about 15, 20 scenes long, which the actors despaired at.

On the other hand, because Paul took an interest in the scripts he wrote, his films were more interesting to real people. The Movies allowed you to upload your films to an online archive, but unfortunately that website has since been shutdown, so I cannot show you some of his masterpieces.

Well, except for one…

At the time that Paul was into The Movies, we were living in a flat in Glasgow with Tom and Andy. Andy happened to be in a relationship with a girl with a funny name. Being in a relationship, they often did some smooching. They can hardly be blamed for this, in fact I’ve been known to be guilty of smooching myself. However, for Tom, Paul and I, it grew a bit annoying. We’d watch a film, they’d smooch, then Oonagh would ask what was going on. One time, I poured a pint of water over them to get them to shut up.

Andy and Oonagh, or Oondy to their close friends, were the perfect choice for Paul to write a film about. He even went so far as to utilise Tom and I as voice talent, his only film to actually have voices. What follows is the completely true story of Oondy, starring

• Thomas Blackwood as Lewis Briggs as Andy
• Murray Barnes as Elizabeth Longridge as Oonagh
• Paul Ferguson as Stuart Whyte as Lizard McPopeye

Oh, and apologies for poor quality, and offset lip-synching and stuff. Paul might attempt to fix this in the near future, in which case I will replace this with a higher quality embed.
