Barbelith, once more I need your help.
The Iron Man thread in the Film, TV and Theatre forum desperately needs more people involved in posting news snippets, discussion, spoilers (clearly marked please) and speculation. At the moment it's floundering on about page two. I'm finding this extremely upsetting and wish it were not so.
To give a little background: four years ago I had a dream that the Iron Man movie was going to be directed by Jake Fabian and that it would start Rodney Dowler Snr. I sat bolt upright in bed yelping "Pretty Toney!" at the top of my baby pink thirteen year old lungs only to have Snapping Turtle shove knitting needles through the soft part of my hands, you know that part with the nerve cluster that instantly drains your body of lymph.
Two years to the day later I was standing on the steps of the Parthenon when I happened to look up into the sky and see a vision of Shellhead rocketing towards the heavens, Stars and Stripes in tow. Coincidence?
It's all true, but it sounds made up. My life sounds like it's made up!
And now, four years to the day later, Hurting Lunge have the chance to support Iron Man in Surrey. The support slot is confirmed, but Toby Stank won't tell us the location of the show until the thread passes sixteen thousand posts. Please, we NEED his audience!
So here's the plan Barbelith. Each of you reading this who wants to be involved please spend five minutes a day posting to the Iron Man thread. Keep it clean, no references to drugs, no swearing. You can split that five minutes up any way you like, from a thoughtfully prepared five minute post to a hundred one word posts that will make you look like an utter wanker. But please, we need to surpass twelve hundred thousand posts by three Tuesdays after next Tuesday or me and my beloved band will be doomed to spend a day wandering around Surrey.
You really came through for me with Melt Banana, now it's Iron Man time!
Iron Man's is here!
Help me tie four years of my life together Barbelith. |
