Taxi Driver and Matrix Inspired Performances

At the actors' studio some of the guys were going through their paces yesterday.  The De Niro, 'Taxi Driver' psycho look above was perfected first, followed by the Matrix's Neo's bullet-dodging antics to finish the session.

Learning By Example

Talking Trash

Talking trash is not just what the Castaway Characters are, it's what they want to be doing too. 
Keep your eyes open for new posts with this open mouth logo.

The Castaway Characters have decided to become more vocal about the problems of waste generation so they are going to include Talking Trash posts as a mouth-piece, with links to articles about refusing, reducing, reusing and recycling.  Here's the first article that explains where many of the Castaway Characters' relatives have disappeared to.  It's a terribly sad story so open the link only if you are feeling brave.

Castaway Cartoons

It's time to wake up, Sleepy-heads!

Yes, the wake-up call is a little bit late but should still be loud enough. The landfills are filling and there ain't much space left.  Turn your plastic rubbish into something useful / interesting / fun or don't accept plastic in the first place.

Castaway Characters' artist Sims Simpson aka 'B Bad' is launching a new eco-campaign.  This is one of his cartoon posters for the campaign.

Who is responsible?

Over the last few days Bagit - the new, recycled Bagit - has started to open up about his shocking and unprovoked attack that led to him being used, abused and eventually recycled.  Questions need to be asked, and answered, concerning this devastating situation.  Yes of course, unwanted, useless plastic waste should be turned into something of value through the recycling process, but Bagit - the old Bagit at least - was a highly accomplished, productive member of society.  As a writer and film director he was at his creative peak, with no signs of wear and tear.  We are starting to question who was to gain from this monstrous act that caused Bagit's meltdown.  We know that Bagit was doing research for his book, "Super-hero, Super-villain" and perhaps had discovered something during the process.  Bagit is in no fit state to explain anything at the moment, so the perpetrators of the crime have achieved their goal of silencing him, for now.  But, be warned evil-doers, as Bagit's molecules start to realign themselves and he gets his head screwed on properly again, those who were responsible will be stripped of all labels and scrubbed vigorously with a wire brush. Perhaps they will be tarred and feathered (resources and special permits have been applied for), or even just melted down and not remoulded, left as shapeless blobs of an unpleasant hue for the rest of their unnatural lives. 

Utah Bigfoot Sightings - A Hoax

Reports of recent Bigfoot sightings in Utah have some of us here at Castaway Characters tittering to ourselves in disbelief.  After watching  the video clip of 'the sighting' we knew for a fact that the whole thing was another, rather pathetic, prank.  We know for a fact that Bigfoot was nowhere near Utah when the video was supposedly shot.  He was right here at a party we were holding at the home of Castaway Characters with a whole host of other outcasts and freaks.  Despite those big feet, Bigfoot Bagtag can still do a mean Travolta impression (and I'm talking Saturday Night Fever, baby, not Pulp Fiction or Be Cool).
