I bet it's that whole "opening your own theatre" thing that's got to bump that up a bit.York99 wrote:Over 6 years.Asaf wrote:Justin, I am wondering what you have above me to get your score higher. How long have you been improvising again?
Mick, Sean Hill, Bernie Sahlins, Justin and Charna.

If you disrespect your character, or play it just for laughs, it will sell some gags, but it's all technique.

I don't know why, but every time I look through these questions, it depresses me. I guess becauase it hits home the following:
1)There's no such thing as a unique experience.
2)No matter how hard I try, I can't escape geekdom.

I think it's all the questions quantified in the quiz that capture expereiences that might seem to be unique and personal when one is doing them. Like rehearsing more than 10 times in a location you shouldn't, having an argument about improv on an improv forum, yadda yadda. They seem unique when you're in the middle of them, and then you see that they're fairly common expereiences in this little bubble we live in.mcnichol wrote:What do you mean by this one, Roy?Roy Janik wrote:1)There's no such thing as a unique experience.

The thing I'm most proud of isn't even on the quiz.
- inspired someone to start doing improv.
Fuck (most of) all the other dick-measuring, pissing contest bullshit.

Question #34
I have...
[ ] introduced several people to improv.
Doesn't this question count?

Have you:Roy Janik wrote:1)There's no such thing as a unique experience.
done a scene in which there was a race between a hot-rodder named "Truck" and his best friend, and Truck was forced to lose the race so that his father could shoot an arrow into Truck's adopted baby that turned out to be a Satan-child which was sold to him by his psychiatrist who moonlights as a black market baby seller?
I didn't see that question on the quiz, Roy. And I'd be willing to bet that you, me, and the four other degrees are the only people who ever experienced that.

Yeah, but I named a guy "Truck" in one of my improv scenes. It was in a Wooden Nickle rehearsal, though, not on stage. I like "Truck" as a nickname.DollarBill wrote:Roy Janik wrote:And I'd be willing to bet that you, me, and the four other degrees are the only people who ever experienced that.
What weird-obvious nicknames to you like? (for a char. that might be an incidental character in a James Cameron or Jerry Bruckheimer film)
