DAN: Lot of surreal movies this year.

VINCE: Yup.

DAN: Brad?

BRAD: Yeah, I've heard about one in particular.

[LAUGHTER]

VINCE: Synecdoche, New York?

[LAUGHTER]

BRAD: No, Vince, actually I was thinking of my film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

[APPLAUSE]

VINCE: Oh...

DAN: Well, let's see who wins.

VINCE: Brad, will you do the honors.

BRAD: I'd be honored to.

[LAUGHTER]

BRAD: The Luis goes to...

[BRAD OPENS ENVELOPE]

BRAD: The Visioneers?



DAN: Yeah, unlike Synecdoche, New York and your film The Over-long Case of Benjamin Button, The Visioneers didn't get a big theatrical release this year, in fact I'm not even sure it has a distributor yet. But it is awesome and we do hope people get a chance to see it. And it's really important to promote independent film, true independent film, isn't that right, Brad?

[BRAD'S PUBLICIST STEPS IN FROM OUT OF FRAME]

PUBLICIST: We have to stop this now...

VINCE: What do you mean?

PUBLICIST: No. Off. Turn the camera off.

[PRE-RECORDED VIDEO ENDS]

ANNOUNCING: The First Annual Luis Awards!

So we've been thinking about it and we've decided that 2008 was a pretty good year for surreal movies... So maybe we, as surrealists, should reward them, therefore we introduce the first Annual Luis Awards, recognizing surrealism in film.



We're thinking of the following categories:

1. Most Surreal Film
2. Most Surreal Performance
3. Most Unintentionally Surreal Movie



However, we're really worried about missing maybe some of the smaller films that came out in '08, so if you can think of anything that would be appropriate please post it in the comments below.

We'll announce the nominees soon.

Dan

UPDATE: Fixed the 'Ben Button' trailer...
