Elect Bernard Bygott ‘08

Oct 11th, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Video Vignettes

You’ve heard the lies from Leslie Fox. Maybe you’ve noticed that someone is named “Pates Baroni”? I thank you for indulging lesser minds, but the time has come for some unadulterated awesome. Vote Bernard Bygott Editor and Chief, or be associated with losers forvever . I trust no one wants to burden themselves with the prospect of such a profoundly barren existence… [continue]

No Excuses… Just Opera

Sep 19th, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Video Vignettes

Occasionally I write very involved lies to justify the content on this blogazine. This is not one of those times. Here’s the trailer I made for International Opera Theater’s production of Romeo e Giulietta (the English translation is extremely obscure). Composed by Emily Wong. Conducted by Simone Luti. Directed by Karen Saillant. Rumor is the opera will be coming to … [continue]



New Video Series: Learning to Love Yourself Featuring Dr. Fox

Sep 16th, 2008 | By Leslie Fox | Category: Video Vignettes

Are you tired, listless, and without direction? Do you suffer from addiction to credit cards, alcohol, and amphetamines? Have you left your children to be raised by the state and now they don’t respect you? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you should probably stay far away from Dr. Fox. Seriously, the man … [continue]



Nihilist Weekend Review: The Ineffable Fatness of Being

Aug 16th, 2008 | By Pates Baroni | Category: Video Vignettes

The message in this film is anything but Christian, so this can be fun for the whole family. The fork’s passivity in the face of life and his indifference to the quality of his own actions, up to and including murder via conductivity, are the inevitable culmination of Existential philosophy. For if it’s true that nothing matters, why … [continue]



Heroic Actors Save Internet From Video

Aug 13th, 2008 | By Leslie Fox | Category: Video Vignettes

Last weekend in a spasm of creativity I wrote the script for what would have been a short skit. My intention was to shoot it the next day staring myself and whoever else I could talk into acting in it with me. It was short, topical, and it sucked. I, of course, was the proud papa of … [continue]



Greatest Musician Ever Makes Crap Video

Aug 1st, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Video Vignettes

Well, it took an unusually long period of time, because YouTube has downgraded their audio settings to the point where some songs simply become white noise, but after testing the market and settling on Dailymotion, Receiving Me? is proud to present Paul Fidalgo and The Conflict of Interest in a very unofficial, unorthodox, and unsettling video which I’m certain will … [continue]



Petty Request

Jul 27th, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Video Vignettes

Sometimes it’s difficult running a magazine with a world-wide circulation of… some extremely large number. But when Tom Petty asks for a favor, even the busiest of folk drop what they’re doing, so we did too. Turns out that Petty was never all that pleased with the video he made for his super-hit, Mary Jane’s Last Dance. You know, … [continue]



Sly on Fox

Jul 24th, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Video Vignettes

After Receiving Me? and The Washington Post broke the story that Sylvester Stallone is running for the presidency, Sly sat down with Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday to be treated fairly. The following three-part clip is a Receiving Me? exclusive, straight from the Fox vaults and unedited by anyone… we promise.
