WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE
The Fifthteenth of my Re-enactment series.
Presenting: a scene from one of the most controversial movies about Christianity ever made. Even before Clerks, Kevin Smith began writing this movie. At the time, the working title was "God." The entire film is Kevin Smith's attempt to get through a crisis of faith he was having. Every word uttered by every character, especially by Damon and Affleck in this scene, comes from questions that Smith asked himself regarding his faith.
In this scene, Bartlbey and Loki, two angels sent to Earth as punishment, have a conversation in a car garage. Bartlbey has an "epiphany," and he decides to try and defy God's will and, with the help of a loophole in Catholic dogma, try and get back into heaven. Loki, played by Damon, feels that something is wrong and points out that he sounds just like Lucifer.
I did a few things I haven't done before to make this video more like the original...
- Got my haircut in between characters
- Did nearly the entire video handheld
- Added a "Cathedral" echo to make it seem more like a parking garage
- Mirrored about 90% of the video to make it similar to the original setting
In switching hands in the end, I think I violated the 180 degree rule... but I think it worked out.
I'm a Christian myself, and even if you don't like the movie, you have to at least appreciate the genius dialogue of Kevin Smith. He raises so many questions regarding Christianity, and has created a great movie that's both good theologically and funny as hell.

This is a great scene; probably my favorite out of your choices, everyone.
Stay tuned in a few days for #4: V for Vendetta.")

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE.
The 25th of my Reenactment Series.
Holy clusterf$#&, you guys must have picked the hardest, longest scene in any movie, with the most characters. This is a personal record: 8 characters, about 8 minutes of dialogue, totalling up to 9 minutes and 30 seconds... this is the biggest one yet... I hope I lived up to your expectations. Also, this is where I put my Steve Buscemi impersonation to the test... I think its getting better, but I need to exaggerate it more... make it higher and more nasally.
To those film students who worship the ground Quentin Tarantino walks on, this scene, let alone this movie, needs no introduction.
In this scene from Reservoir Dogs, eight crooks, hours before a big diamond heist, sit around a table in a diner and bullshit about the important stuff: tipping, Madonna, and K-Billys Supersounds of the 70s Weekend.
I should have known the top two requests would be Tarantino, the master of dialogue that can be incredibly cool while simultaneously be about nothing at all. This scene is a good example.
Pulp Fiction is last... Im thinking it may actually BE the last. After Pulp Fiction, theres a good chance Ill never do another reenactment again... so, Ill make it a good one.")

If this wasnt requested, I would have never done this one. Why? Because everyone else already has.
Still, it was fun. And to those of you saying I had a bad attitude about doing this scene: I still did the best that I could; I wouldnt half-ass a scene for you. Sometimes, an actor doesnt necessarily enjoy the work he does. Bob Hoskins HATED doing Super Mario Bros., but it doesnt show in his performance, even if it was a shitty movie.
Special thanks to my four-year-old nephew for letting me borrow his lightsabers and Darth Vader mask.
More to come.")
