xtranormal.com

Ever heard of xtranormal.com?

It's been around a while, I guess. But I just found it, so this is newsworthy.

Basically, you pick out a scene and characters, plug in your dialogue, throw in a few limited gestures and hit render. It has a maximum of two characters at the moment, and the computer voices forced me to spell a lot of the script out phonetically, but it's still a really fun site.

Here is my first attempt.



Here's the script, in case those robots made any of it difficult to understand.

INT. KITCHEN - DAY

Two guys finish an argument about Aquaman.

GUY 1

Yeah, but Submariner was just a lame ripoff of Aquaman, and Aquaman was already the lamest superhero ever.

GUY 2

No way. Aquaman was awesome.

GUY 1

Yes way. Think about it. His superpowers were breathing underwater and talking to fish. The same powers bestowed upon every fish in the ocean.

GUY 2

There was more to him than that. He had super strength.

GUY 1

Yeah, so do I (beat) underwater.


The following scene was not created by me, but it's by far the funniest scene I have found on the site.

Love it! (Yes, way!)

And is it just me or do Pete & Barb resemble you and Jesse in every way?

I'll give you a hint: It's not just you.
