[29 July 11] Stan Larson?

[Freemage]

Wouldn't Assistant Producer be exactly the right title? Producers being the people who provide the means for the film to be made. Aggie's Producer, Director, and Editor.

Re grenades, I thought Aggie didn't care that much about Stan.

Yeah, but Penny seems to care a lot, and so asking that directly in front of her pretty much guarantees that the other convo is coming to a full stop, at least until some fuming happens.

[Alice Macher]

Lisa is probably working herself into a tizzy for nothing. Stan getting a title costs no one anything, and Aggie isn't that petty.

Granted, she probably will be giving Lisa all kinds of hell for her taste in men, but that's deserved, too.

I don't think it's Aggie Lisa's scared of. Penny hates Stan. She could well go ballistic over this. (And Lisa has borne the brunt of Penny's temper before, during the closing Macbeth performance, where she was similarly scared out of her skin.)

[Kamino Neko]

And poor Aggie stuck in the middle.

Who will she choose? Girlfriend? Best friend? Try to mediate between them and suffer the wrath of both?

Except I doubt Lisa is going to follow-up up the credit request with "ALSO: I've kinda been secretly boinking him for awhile now? Not relevant, just thought you'd want to know."

Well it's not like they know LiStan (Stansa?) are banging. Why would anybody blow up over this? They'd probably be slightly annoyed they have to put Stan's name on the work, but really, I don't know why this is shit-fit worthy.

*joins Tamar is reciting Kaddish.* Hey, if we get 8 more in here, this'll be legit.

I don't even understand WHY Stan would want his name on the work. As Penny pointed out, this video is damaging if you ever want to work for any one of the companies highlighted there (or its subsidiaries). And Stan WANTS to be a corporate whore.

It would actually be kind of funny if Stan had no idea what the project really entailed and was just pushing for credit in his usual smarmy yuppie ambition way, only to later have it bite him in the ass.

[Arky]

I guess if it's over 3 minutes long, there's more to Aggie's voiceover than the single bit we heard and maybe just maybe it isn't as cringeworthy as it seemed.

Or maybe it's 3:34 of cringe.

Or maybe she doesn't use the entire song.

OH LISA.

I wonder if Penny's one-time kiss with Stan will bubble to mind and cause her trouble right about now.

Thing is, why would Lisa be getting so apprehensive and scared right now, unless she were about to reveal precisely that she and Stan are FWBs? I'm 99% sure that's what this is about.

The question is, what would be Lisa's reason for doing so at this point? I see two possibilities: one, as some have already suggested, she's going to sacrificially divert Penny's and Aggie's attention away from an argument over the film itself. Or two, because she feels she can no longer keep her thing with Stan, or shouldn't have to keep her thing with Stan, a secret from her close friends.

Or she may just not want to lie if the conversation turns to, "Why are you talking to him? Why are you hanging out with him behind our backs?"

Right, but it was she who just brought up his name in the first place. I'm wondering if she isn't maybe dissembling about Stan wanting an "assistant producer" credit on this...demo, and was basically seeking a way of seguing into the topic, rather than blurting out "I'M BOINKING STAN" immediately. But on that point I admit I may be reaching.

College application padding, would be my guess. And seriously, you really think that Nike (for example) will care about some obscure hobby-film that someone made in high school?

[maritza]

It's not entirely impossible she could get hired with a demo like that. I guess she could be hired by a small company that caters to anti-mega-corporation feelings.

Just like there's companies that emphasize their "green" values, or sell organic products, or like to cater to nostalgia etc.

I don't see Aggie selling anything to yuppies. But her guerilla approach might work with selling things to the angry youth.

It's... hipster D:

Anyway, what was shown on the reel wasn't too promising. 500 hand-painted logos, that's a lot. But ultimately, not really that interesting.

Eh, the companies won't really care. And this is Stan we're talking about. If anyone ever brought up the content of that film he would say, "Oh MAN, yeah, those girls were crazy. I lent them my camera, and that's what came out? Man, talk about your early education into needing to control a director!" And then they'd all laugh and have another beer.
