Three things:

(1) I just got an IM from a friend at Christopher Newport University (700+ miles away!) telling me to check it out. I said I already had.

(2) Hey...CCC guys, if you're reading this...put more crap up on your website NOW. This is great exposure for you guys!

(3) A suggestion, put up that awesome "Remote" movie from your last show, that was really funny and really sweet.

I gave it a big shoutout on my WECB show last night (with background music from the Bttf III sound track)... but not nearly as many people heard that as would have seen on some of these sites.

It is some great stuff.

It was featured on Yahoo.com's main video search page...complete with a link to the CCC site.

found an article with high praises for CCC and the infamous video at defamer.com. it's an "LA Gossip Rag" according to it's website. check it out and read the praise. well done!

Or you could read my original post better and check out the last line that says "It's spreading all over thanks to Boing-Boing."

You lose 1337 points times 3.14

CCC and the trailer have been namedropped in the greatest newspaper in the world!

From F07 of The Washington Post:
The satire target of the moment seems to be Oscar favorite "Brokeback Mountain."

Search for "brokeback to the future" on YouTube. There, you'll find a fake movie trailer that grabs (some would say "steals") scenes from the "Back to the Future" trilogy that, well-edited, imply that the characters played by Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox are gay lovers in the Old West.

For instance, the creators -- http://www.chocolatecakecity.com/ -- choose a scene where Fox's character fights off the romantic advances of a girl: "Have you ever, uh, been in a situation where you know you had to act a certain way but when you got there, you didn't know if you could go through with it?"

where can i find a link to this online?!?

Gillian, the article is at:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/04/AR2006020400167.html?nav=rss_technology

BUT! You have to register first.

Being friends with some of the CCC guys (mainly Dan and Pat) I actually had my folks snip it out for me and mail it over. I think that would be so friggin' cool to see the press quote "as seen in The Washington Post" on a CCC flyer.
