Freaks, Geeks and Cults of Personality
My friend had free tickets to see the Family Guy Live show at Town Hall Friday night. While not an original cult fan, I have had the pleasure of enjoying some episodes in their second run DVD life.
TV freaks and Seth Green in one room? I couldn't resist.
The entire voiceover cast, along with three producers/writers, were in attendance. (Exciting, but not necessarily worth the insane $55-$65 ticket price real people paid.) First on the agenda, the cast re-enacted a full-length episode live. Seeing creator Seth MacFarlane's lightning transition from dad Peter to baby Stewie to dog Brian was quite remarkable, a feat not appreciated while viewing the animated episodes.
The reading was followed by a musical act from MacFarlane and his TV wife Alex Borstein, a teaser for Sunday's premiere season episode, and my favorite...the audience Q&A.
Nothing highlights the audience freaks much like a Q&A. Here are three things I learned about the Family Guy cult:
1 - Family Guy's core audience consists of socially averse animation geeks and speech-impaired teen boys.
2 - Don't try to pitch a job while at the mic. MacFarlane will kill you!
3 - People who make it a point to continually watch and rewind scenes in hopes of winning a bet with their girlfriend that the producers edited out a few frames with Stewie have WAAAAYYY too much time on their hands.
*Bonus: I've confirmed that Seth Green IS the epitomal thespian representative of Generation X.
On an equally cultish note, I saw the much-anticipated The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy movie. About two months ago, I read the book for the first time. While not fanatical about it, I greatly enjoyed and respected Douglas Adams' wit, characterization and imagination.
The movie? Ehhh...I'm not sure it did the book justice. The cultish freaks are going to find fault with story changes and the addition of new, pointless characters (i.e. John Malkovich's Humma Kuvala). People not familiar with the book are likely to be befuddled by its seemingly mundane plot. Average fans like myself will have enjoyed a humorous movie, perhaps wishing Director Garth Jennings could've done a little more to make non-fans want to explore the book.
It always amazes me the amount of time, energy, and money fans will spend when they find a cult obsession. While I might razz on extreme fans of Family Guy and the Hitchhiker's Guide, it's a bit unfair. After all, who knows what I would do to bring my beloved Freaks & Geeks back on-air?! I guess I'm just as lame as any other cult freak.
