I've been making some preliminary observations on Silverado (my subject of study for the next several months). I've been playing around with multiple ways of information gathering. On one hand, wallflowering has the whole subterfuge thing going for it. On the other hand, by being active in conversation and activity, I can try to direct things towards what I want to know. I was initially a little concerned about finding opportunities for observation, but I've realized that we're all in Zoellner all the time anyway. The opportunities are there if you get out there and seize them.
Looking forward to seeing how the task of gender-bending is handled. It's a relatively easy feat for a man to play a woman (and vice versa) for comedic effect. Lower the voice, hunch the shoulders, and now a woman can play a man for a brief comedy bit. Raise the voice and channel Blanche DuBois and a man can do the same. It's more difficult to seriously capture the differences between the genders and the way they move and talk. Something to watch for...
I had an epiphany about Youtube. I wish there was a way to not see the title before the clip, because the title often undercuts the punch line (example) I remember one of the reasons Dick in a Box was so funny is because they played it dead straight until the first reveal of the punch line. On the other hand, you know what's coming when you watch Jizz in my Pants (yes, I've been brushing up on my Andy Samberg)
