Last year after months of research and negotiations, while doing the dirty deed with National Lampoon (with or without rubber gloves), Palmstar acquired National Lampoon. \u00a0Currently their team is in the process of rebranding National Lampoon with the intent of getting the company back to the high quality comedy status of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Animal House<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vacation<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> era.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, the creative team is diligently searching for producers and comedy writers to bring on board to get back to the basics and make comedies for now and future generations to enjoy. \u00a0They know that comedy writing is the most difficult genre to write and to make the entire audience laugh throughout the movie is not easy. What one person dies laughing at another may think is the dumbest thing ever. \u00a0Additionally you need a structurally sound entertaining story and a subplot which many times is a romantic relationship. Like the heartwarming love story in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Animal House<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when Shelly Dubinsky comforting Eric Stratton after he lost his so called engaged to be engaged fiance Fawn Liebowitz. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They also want to discover comedy actors as National Lampoon did with Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Harold Ramis and many more. \u00a0Talent like them can be often be found at sketch comedy and improv venues like Saturday Night Live and Second City, so maybe National Lampoon scouts will be in the audience of those venues in the upcoming months. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you were about to give up on National Lampoon, consider what Clark W. Griswold would think. \u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think you\u2019re all all f__ked in the head. \u00a0We\u2019re a few weeks from finding out the new developments from National Lampoon and you want to bail out! Well, I\u2019ll tell you something! This is no longer a vacation. \u00a0It\u2019s a quest! It\u2019s a quest for fun movies! I\u2019m going to have fun and you\u2019re going to have fun, too. We\u2019re all going to have so much f__king fun, we\u2019ll need plastic surgery to remove our goddamn smiles! You&#8217;re gonna be whistling zippitty do-dah out of your a__holes. \u00a0I gotta be crazy. I\u2019m on a pilgrimage for new comedies.
