Leeroy’s Masterpiece
Posted by Eddy in Extras, TheLeetWorld, Videos on Feb.26, 2008.
We promised it when we released Episode 10, so here it is: the premier of Leeroy’s short film, “Conform”.
[Sarcasm] It is a heartfelt drama about… well, really, you’ll just have to watch it for yourselves. Leeroy’s a deep thinker, you see, and that kind of stuff just goes over my head.
Other quotes about the movie:
“NeEDS MOAR SeTS!11!”- Player
“A digimal triumph.”- Ellis
“I don’t know what the f— this movie is about.”- Chet
Try to enjoy. You won’t be able to if you’re not artsy enough. At least, that’s what Leeroy told us.[/Sarcasm] Also, expect some more extras by the end of the week.
FYI- This movie is a joke. It’s supposed to be bad.
Makes me wanna rewatch the entire series for the...” on

…uhh….
February 26th, 2008 on 11:37 pm
Leaves a tear to my eye.
February 26th, 2008 on 11:38 pm
Leeroy would be proud.
February 27th, 2008 on 12:16 am
You say that as if he’s dead…
February 27th, 2008 on 12:31 am
he’s too busy cybering and fending off haxxors to take notice
February 27th, 2008 on 12:35 am
Dude I know, right? That’s what my reaction was, too.
February 27th, 2008 on 12:53 am
Got it. Ellis is depressed because he can’t read the flashing “Conform”s. Thus, he kills himself.
February 27th, 2008 on 1:11 am
Doubtlessly, a profound masterpiece.
Deep… very deep…
February 27th, 2008 on 2:16 am
OMG! SO WEIRD! Is Ellis really dead? Will he be dead for next episode? lol I bet its just “Digimal” though.
February 27th, 2008 on 2:17 am
I think its just “Digimal”
February 27th, 2008 on 2:22 am
No it tells the story of todays society and how if you cont conform to the new standards (premarital sex, not eating healthy, etc.) you will die, emotionally or physically
February 27th, 2008 on 2:46 am
Yay, it ends with the preferred ending of student short films from everywhere ^-^
February 27th, 2008 on 6:09 am
That was just……heartwarming, I mean that made me shed a tear. :’ ( Very deep and has a very deep meaning to it just pay attention very closely and I know that this movie is a joke but it still has a very deep message even if you guys didn’t intend on it.

February 27th, 2008 on 6:01 pm

“I don’t know what the f— this movie is about.”- Chet
What Chet said.
February 27th, 2008 on 6:26 pm
This is pure genius!
February 27th, 2008 on 6:52 pm
I think I know what it’s about. I think it’s about conformity to the point of death, like how a sheep would throw itself off of a cliff like all the other sheep. Am I right?
February 27th, 2008 on 8:18 pm
I like Chets explaination better…
February 27th, 2008 on 10:25 pm
Kinda abstract , but I still love it.
This movie should win an Oscar.
February 27th, 2008 on 11:04 pm
“Ellis dont want to conform himself but the whole world want he to. So he killed himself.”- Ooler

February 27th, 2008 on 11:20 pm
Ellis thinking, then Leeroy say “Conform” to him and Ellis walk away and kill himself. That’s what I understand.
Seriously I don’t get it…XDD
Oh yeah, can forward where you guys got that music for Leeroy masterpiece.
February 27th, 2008 on 11:50 pm
i love that this has gotten such a huge reaction… clearly all of those weird ideas i’ve got stored up need to be written so that they can confuse everyone, much like this.
February 28th, 2008 on 2:03 am
Might be useful for you to say some of those ideas; might be useful for mankind one day.
February 28th, 2008 on 7:02 am
Not bad..:)
February 28th, 2008 on 10:38 am
true masterpiece…

February 28th, 2008 on 4:19 pm
Post adjusted for those of you who apparently lack any kind of sarcasm detector.
February 28th, 2008 on 8:48 pm
Umm someone give me a link I have to download it.
February 28th, 2008 on 9:22 pm
This is the type of film that needs to discussed while drinking coffee at Starbucks. It’s the only way one can truly analyze the social commentary of this indie masterpiece.
February 28th, 2008 on 10:29 pm
this movie is terrible, what the fuck are you guys thinking!!!!!!
ryan
(actually its really funny, you should show them the masterful works that this is inspired by)
ps its 9:10 in california
February 28th, 2008 on 11:16 pm
Watch this be a metaphor for Leeroy’s obsession with pie…
February 29th, 2008 on 12:02 am
i like it, i really do no kidding.
February 29th, 2008 on 3:30 pm
um…if you watch the episode below you see that he is still alive
February 29th, 2008 on 5:01 pm
Very much so a digimal triumph.
February 29th, 2008 on 11:38 pm
What the crap…
March 1st, 2008 on 4:08 pm
I don’t think that Leeroy has enough to do.
March 1st, 2008 on 9:40 pm
A perfect Piece of Mystical Fantastic… Hard to figure out Piece of Work!!!
It should be awarded Best Motion Picture of the Year!!!!
“And the Winner is… Conform! by Leeroy!
March 2nd, 2008 on 6:07 am
Can we not download this one, would be nice, I’ve got the collection!
March 2nd, 2008 on 2:56 pm
nice.
March 2nd, 2008 on 8:30 pm
*(I know its meant to be sarcastic and not mean anything, but I’m going to analyze it because I want to.)*
I think its generally meant to symbolize the constant struggle of a confused individual trying to find their place in a world controlled by mainstream trends.
The word “conform” in different languages is supposed to show that it isn’t any different, no matter where you are around the world.
Ellis is the outsider, and Leeroy’s only line “conform” is supposed to be the peer pressure on Ellis, Leeroy is in the mainstream fashion trying to get Ellis to be just like him.
The suicide at the end, I think symbolizes the degree of which these confused people’s actions go to. Many adolescents commit suicide because of stress, pressure, and stuff like that.
The shot of Ellis walking backwards, might be him trying to find what really fits him, instead of the big trend, or just a random action in his confusion and/or stupidity.
Very nice.

Why? WHY?!
March 3rd, 2008 on 8:39 am
I was wondering if there could be an mp4 ipod friendly version for all the shorts, because having them on the road and showing them to my friends would be awesome.
March 3rd, 2008 on 9:19 am
I think Elli cant conform himself to the place so then he kills himself.
March 3rd, 2008 on 1:03 pm
omg leeroy dont make ANYMORE movies player wouid have made a awesome one about drinking and dogs!
March 3rd, 2008 on 1:05 pm
PS:PLAYER IT DOES NEED MORE SETZ!!!
March 3rd, 2008 on 3:15 pm
Why what?
March 3rd, 2008 on 5:27 pm
Any person can look at this as art, and describe it if they had the mind to.
Otherwise, it’s what the authors intended.
A masterpiece.[/sarcasm]
March 4th, 2008 on 8:22 am
All I have to say is… Sharky, you get way too into it, and I am sooo not Leeroy.(inside joke, which is not funny at all.)
But yet I must analyze this myself.
Here is my first scenario: Ellis is wandering around, everywhere, going nowhere in particular, walking backwards and what not. And Leeroy tells him “Conform,” which means,”Dude, conform.” And so Ellis doesn’t and he gets hanged by Leeroy for not conforming. In this case Conform means conforming to laws and or rules and maybe even civilization. (A good reference to this is Coldplay’s Scientist music video, where the entire time the lead singer is doing everything backwards, yet singing normally.)
Second scenario: Ellis is wandering about trying to find a way to conform, and when Leeroy tells him “Conform” it was a flashback. Thus, Ellis cannot find himself to conform, so he gives up ultimately, by hanging himself.
And my third scenario: Ellis is having his life pass before him just before he decides to hang himself and he goes back to the reason why, because he cannot conform, as Leeroy my boy has told him. This is much like Sharky’s explanation, i.e. Ellis is a lost cause. (this scenario is just a mix up of second one, because anything goes, eh?)
I do have to criticize my good friend Sharky on this, I do believe that on any of these scenarios I have brought forth, the explanation for Ellis being hanged can be switched in and out, whether he was hung, or he hung himself.
The true reason that I believe this movie was put out is, because… Do you know how much time it took to make this movie? Ha, its only 15 different shots, its a bit random, but thats how its funny. The authors probably didn’t intend any secret meanings behind this movie, like **GASP** Ellis dying (as in, cut from the show), or anything major, its just a “Hey, the characters were making a movie… how about we finish it up?”
I might post more scenarios if you truly want to know the meaning of Ellis’s death.
March 4th, 2008 on 2:30 pm
yea, i dont understand but hey it was friggin funny (in a weird kind of way) roll on ep.11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 4th, 2008 on 8:30 pm
…
WTF?
March 5th, 2008 on 10:45 pm
hey that was a cool background theme, where can i get it?
March 5th, 2008 on 11:28 pm
Just use audacity to rip it.
March 7th, 2008 on 2:24 pm
what a piece of art
March 7th, 2008 on 5:19 pm
I R CONFUZ3D
March 27th, 2008 on 8:22 am
Got to check my sarcasm detector.
OMG! IT’S OVER NINETHOUSEEEEEEND!!
April 10th, 2008 on 3:46 pm
MMH….ok I will say it’s a sad movie because, Ellis looked like he died, Player wasn’t in here, and the movie is not better than me…although it’s better than Ahmad, he is a noob! Haxer! Hey Leeroy what game do you useally play and what is your username? Maybe I can meet you in there! Cool…huh man?
April 10th, 2008 on 6:52 pm
I think that is just a joke. The hanging in the end is probably a joke at indie films that suck.
April 18th, 2008 on 5:24 am
