Chinq,

Isn't that just typical of life. You start with good intentions and everything just gets shot to hell in a handbag. So is the answer that you just never try. Dunno

the further question is how do you put the jenie back in the bottle. Or will she want to stay down on the farm after she sees pariee. dunno that one either.

Don't worry about your spelling. Just say your dyslexic and everyone will understand. Works like a charm for me everytime.

Now when are drinks being served?

Dr. Cat,

Hope you were flattered & not offended. Dr Kat did have the best of intentions. And the Jenie always wants to go back to the Georges V.

I am dyslexic, you should see the "before the spell check" version. But none of the dictionaries on my desk, nor the Tripod spell check have... many Yiddish words.

Order whatever you'd like, DNC specials start on Monday(what do you think most women think of when they hear DNC? I read COMA way before I ever saw a GYN.)

I know who I want to cast as the hero. He's the funniest man on broadcast TV right now(in my opinion bal bal bal). OMG!!! See, I wasn't lyin' about that dyslexia.

OK, in my opinion bla bla bla... I want Bernie Mac! Come-on, can't you hear him saying the "working title"? Or maybe, Bernie can be, the frame/storyteller/narrator of this cautionary tale.

Now, who would be a good straight man for Bernie? I hadn't gone the tongue-n-cheek route with the Chupacabra script. I'm gonna have to sleep on this.

Feel free to input, but unless we become collaborators/partners/teammates, don't ask me for a share of the fee. Not to be harsh, but there are those people...

Nighty-night,

A super team of Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller take on the political symbol from HELL..... Their side kick, no other than Parker Posey, supplies our heros with weapons and witty dialouge to keep them at their best! O and B (not the tampon, but Owen and Ben) take on the Centycore with gusto, but also trepidition knowing that their failure will mean doom to us all..........

Nessa,

The team of Wilson/Stiller need to let somebody have a turn. I do like Posey, hum... an arms dealer. And arms dealer with a casual smart wardrobe... I'm likin' it.

FYI- There is some serious synronicity goin' on these blogs. Could it be that we are all about the same age, similar experiences & education? OR... are these blogs somehow creating a link between all of us? Could I somehow incorporate this into the script?

Hej, Chinq!

Maybe there really is some syncronicity going on here, since MAD MAGAZINE was my ABSOLUTE favorite when I was a kid! I liked it better than SEVENTEEN, and all my friends thought I was a Total Dork (before Total Dorks even existed!).

I like your script ideas, and I don't blame you for not telling too much. You never know who's reading these blogs - your stuff might get stolen. I'm being careful what I tell. I had a boyfriend while living Sweden who wanted 20 pages a week of my "lifetime experiences." He told me he thought I had "narrative talent," and he was interested in what I had to say. So I obliged - I was stupid enough to be FLATTERED! - until I found out later that he was writing a book. I figure he got some damned nice ideas for free. Lucky for him, my Swedish isn't that advanced that I could read a novel from cover to cover (like I could ever prove the stuff was mine anyway). I was grossly disappointed that I was being so USED!
I.

See, to save the world from the Centycore, you need a duo of heroes, but you also need a way to stop the beast...
How about the original beast? Get the Gryphon created, and have a high-in-the-sky battle scene as the terrified and helples people of america look on! Oooh, imagery!
As for actors, Kevin Smith would say "Affleck", but he says that about everything. How about Thomas Jane? He was great in The Punisher and hysterical in The Sweetest Thing...
Keep up the work and good luck with the WGA.

AND PS, your Mr. Man is sooo lucky! As a comic fan-girl for the last ten years, I have YET to make it to the San Diego ComiCon. It's one of my dreams...

Q,

See, no matter what some celeb says, there are pluses to living in "L"(L.A.). 2 hours(+ or - traffic) to beautiful San Diego, less time than the Manhattan/Hamptons run on a Weekend.

Oh oh oh... thanks so much for the Godzilla battle homage. I was having trouble getting into the "campy/tongue&cheek" mode.

And in the recent tradition of Stiller & DeNiro, Sandler & Nicholson, how about Bernie Mac & Gene Hackman? It doesn't look like Gene has any projects in the pipeline. Do you think he'd be willing to put on that Popeye Doyle hat?

Hope you're feeling better.

chinq,
my favorite movie is an "A" list flick made to look like a "B" movie. Or better yet, just a "B" movie! Did I mention I'm a HUGE John Waters fan?
You want camp? I'll give ya camp!
Besides, if the Gryphon wins, I'd register with THAT party any day....

Q,

I hope Mr. Waters is rakin' in the dough with Hairspray: The Musical & the soon to be(why?)remade movie version.

MrMan got a postcard from Mr. Waters complementing him on a local documentary. That post card is a prized posession.

I wonder if John has anything in the pipeline? Bald-a-mer IS close to D.C...

Inga,

I'm tellin' ya, I think the computer is synchronizing our brains.

Between tales of your grandma, ex-boyfriends,(we aren't going to touch your other Ex)and your auto knowledge, your are close to ready to "GO OFF" bloggin'.

We'll talk.

Your instincts are right, this feels like a comic book or an animated feature or even a continuing flash animation series on the web or as you suggested on my blog, an episode of South Park. If you go the animated route, you gotta better chance of getting the celebrity voice talent you desire at bargain basement prices. That being said, fun idea. I think if it's a comic book or ongoing thing you don't need to figure out the ending yet, you would just have to fight off the Centycore every week. But if you're looking for a spectacular finish, I suggest once the Centycore and its offspring get to D.C., our dynamic heroes Ace & Gary (Wilson & Stiller) lure them into the White House for a battle royale, but trick them and blow up the entire lot along with the greatest symbol of freedom in our country and everyone lives happily ever after...until we reveal the Centycore mated with a human woman before his death and a new Centycore/Human hybrid is born who will one day grow up to avenge his father's death.

Tad,

Thanks for the crit. There's that whole issue of the RIGHTS to Ace & Gary, but otherwise, I'm lovin' the whole sequel setup.

Stop by for a drink anytime.
