  1. I gotta find a way to stop telling messy stories 😅. That's the trend that I see with my evaluations. I think I need to give them an extra read-through and be more critical with my own work. I know it's Cayom but I gotta improve these stories, or make changes to the first draft every once in a while. Also, Tongue Tied at 19, now I'm hopping mad 🐸😂

    The next BOT Survivor experience is

    SURVIVOR

    MUSHROOM KINGDOM

     

    • Players are tasked with predicting the weekend box office to ensure safety for their tribe or for themselves.
    • If your tribe loses the weekend immunity challenge, you have to attend tribal council, where someone will be voted out of the game. Make sure that isn't you!
    • I am celebrating the impending release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie by setting my next BOT Survivor game in the Mario Universe. This means that Mario characters will be a guest-host for each episode, plus the tribe names are based on Mario characters, and all the items are Mario-themed.
    • I will write short little skits with your player characters that are loosely based on the films released during a round's weekend releases. Well, actually for this season, the film(s) of a given weekend will inform my decision as to where in the Mario Universe the episode's challenge will take place. And then the challenge itself is something I can base on the film released. I dunno.
    • The season's first episode is predicting for the Super Mario Bros. Movie weekend, and the season's final episode is predicting for the Barbie/Oppenheimer weekend. As fun as it is for Disney to release Haunted Mansion the weekend after, ending things on Haunted Mansion wouldn't be as explosively glamorous or glamorously explosive as it would be with a Gerwig/Nolan finale.
    • No "alternates," and no "fixed amount of players." You fill out the form, that means you're in the game——no ifs, no ands, no buts (unless you fill it out and then tell me ahead of time that you have to pull out). But beware because the more players in the game means the more crazy elimination twists I have to implement.
    • The Deadline to fill out the form below is Sunday, March 26th at 11:59 PM PST/2:59 PM EST.
    • Then the season will officially premiere on either April 3rd or April 4th, with the first weekend predictions due on April 6th.
    • Let me know if you have any questions about the game!

    Studio Groundswell has signed a multi-picture deal with Electronic Arts and will release new SSX films every December for the next four years, getting out one film a year like it’s a season of television. The schedule is as follows:

     

    SSX TRICKY in Y10

    SSX 3 in Y11

    SSX ON TOUR in Y12

    and lastly, SSX: DEADLY DESCENTS in Y13

     

    “We want a Fast & Furious about Snowboarding,” said an EA spokesperson.

     

    ”Not sure if we can make it happen, but you’re the one ordering these movies, so let’s see how it goes,” replied a Groundswell spokesperson.

     

    Groundswell is reportedly “very excited” about some of their casting choices…

    B.J. Novak (Vengeance) directs and stars in the next Wii movie, Wii Sports Resort: Vacation on Wuhu Island for Studio Groundswell. He plays a disgruntled office worker needing a vacation who takes his family to play sports on Wuhu Island. Heidi Gardner plays the mom, and Brad Pitt returns to the franchise to play a tour guide. The film replaces Thunderhead on the schedule, as the studio wants to put the Scythe franchise on pause for a bit.

    STUDIO GROUNDSWELL'S

    SCORE DESCRIPTIONS

     

    ****

     

    ALAKAZAM (Cristophe Beck)

    Spoiler

    Christophe Beck brings his inspiring family music jingles to Alakazam, lending the film its warm, inviting tone.

     

    "Paperman" from Disney's Short Film "Paperman"

    "I Remember Everything" from Free Guy

     

    AMONG US (Jon Brion)

    Spoiler

    Jon Brion, better-known for his work indie fare like Punch-Drunk LoveEternal Sunshine, and Lady Bird, netted the opportunity to score Among Us specifically because of his work on Laika's ParaNorman.

     

    "Moth Rock" from ParaNorman

     

    KIRBY AND THE KING'S CAPER (Lorne Balfe)

    Spoiler

    Lorne Balfe was selected to illicit the more regal, more bombastic side of music from the Kirby games. If you've played Kirby Air Ride for Gamecube, that'll give you an idea of the kind of musical score I wanted to go for. It's a traditionally maximalist, effervescent score that runs the gamut between orchestral music and full-blown marches. Balfe is no stranger to animated films, having scored The Penguins of MadagascarHome (2015), and Sir Thymes Time.

     

    "Antartica" from The Penguins of Madagascar

    "Beanstalk Park" from Kirby Air Ride

    "Checker Knights" from Kirby Air Ride

     

    MECHAMEN (John Powell)

    Spoiler

    Powell smashes together Bourne vibes with Neon Genesis Evangelion vibes to create a musical score that's both epic and ethereal at once. Lots of serious vibes that also contrasts with more hopeful tones. Uses all the instruments Powell can find; lots of brass, lots of power to suggest the power of the mechs.

     

    "The Bourne Identity Main Title" from The Bourne Identity

    "EVA-02" from Neon Genesis Evangelion

    "Interference of Others" from The End of Evangelion

    "The Passage of Emptiness" from The End of Evangelion

     

    THE MIRAGE (Daniel Hart)

    Spoiler

    Mostly twangy western style; lots of violin scratching. But there's a weight to it. A ghostliness to it. Like the music's stretching beyond our sense of time and into a suggestion of infinity.

     

    "Yellow Hammer" by Daniel Hart (but more foreboding)

    "Christ is Born Indeed" from The Green Knight

    "Thesaurus Tuus" from A Ghost Story
