Congrats man, that is really awesome. My favorite line was the "GMT?" line.
I loved that too. I'll totally claim the not ageing line, but the "GMT, what is that, like LOL?" Was all Rudd.

Were you there on the set? I thought it was interesting that Rudd was known more as Ant-Man than anything else, especially since his delivery in this was a million times better than anything in that movie.

Cool video, had the proper effect on me as well getting me interested in quantum physics.
No, I was not on set for Rudd. I knew he was going to add some jokes but I had no idea what they would be. I didn't know until a couple days before the debut what he had come up with (plus whatever they improved on set). I'm looking forward to finally finding out what happened on set tonight. I'll share what I can.
Thanks, man. Keep writing! I get the itch to participate in every new challenge, but I'm have this pressure to write more and more fully developed scripts at a faster and faster pace (to reach a Pro level of production) I just can't squeeze out the time. Those little projects were so fun though. I'll manage to get at least one in this year I hope.
Which piece did you get published?
That's great! I'm going to remember that one.
Just read it. I dig the vibe, the easy pace of it, like you're pretty comfortable in that world. Feels just just a small excerpt of the much longer story. Thinking of fully realizing it?

That's awesome! A fun video indeed. Really cool, congrats dood~!
Remember to thank GAF at your Academy Awards acceptance speech in a few years breh
I'll try to work in GAF in my next project (if anything ever pans out!). Any suggestions? Keanu, or Hawking, saying, "believe."?
A little behind the scenes tidbit. Alex Winter (Bill S. Preston Esq.) did not want to get in front of the camera, but during one of the takes - with the camera still rolling - Paul just kind of looked over to Alex and asked, "what's a line from Bill and Ted that would work well right now?" The obvious answer was Shut up, Ted. And, I guess, when Spiros and Paul heard Alex say that, they coaxed him into doing the cameo. Totally unscripted and on the spot.
To me the experience was like writing sheet music for a modest concert, and then getting U2, Metallica, Radiohead, and Yoyo Ma on stage performing and everyone delivering ridiculous impromptu solos.
By the way, a Kickstarter for the Quantum Chess game is going up today. I'll update with the link later. I've offered to help out by serving as a script doctor for a limited amount of funders as one of their tiers.
The kickstarter is up: PledgeQuantumChess.com
One of the coolest benefits to backing (imo) is that you'll be able to download the working pre-alpha build that was used to film the video/battle between Paul Rudd and Stephen Hawking.
My script doctoring service is not up yet as a reward tier but am told it will be up in the next (or a future) update.
And BONUS: I actually got a tag! Many thanks GAF overseers/the anonymous mod. It took me nearly 20 years but i've finally been earned my stripes. And all it took was getting Stephen Hawking to call Paul Rudd a nerd.
