Raptor
14-Aug-2013
Raptor is coming! A musical odyssey starring Robert Malone, who wins NoBudge actor of the year for his 3 films, films which have taken the seriousness of our site down 1,000%. This one, our first musical, is miraculously even goofier than "Fresh Starts for Stale People" and "The Confabulators", saying alot. Of course, Malone is Raptor, the volatile front man of Sound Dungeon who quits the band and hits the streets to become a solo superstar. His destiny hits a snag when his agent drops him for a new talent, a tall, fancy-dan musician named Dracula. Raptor clocks in with a genius running time of 41 minutes and a solid belief in the power of unmixed sound. It's simple: turn up the volume when Raptor whispers, down when Raptor screams. Interactive! Meta elements abound, early on, Malone opines, "let's get on with the narrative, " and moments later, a secretary breaks into song until her boss demands she stop singing because she's "only in this film for 5 minutes." Anyway, assuming immaturity, the film is funny, and the songs are catchy, and Malone means business. Raptor has arrived.
