On Del Close's skull

[yendi]

The Chicago Tribune suggests that the skull at the Goodman theatre in Chicago might not really belong to Del Close. (Ganked from Neil Gaiman's blog)

Somewhere, Del's having one hell of a giggle over this.

Oh, and according to WIkipedia (which is never wrong), Harold Ramis wants to make a movie out of Guru, with Bill Murray as Del!

(Me, I'd also like to see an HBO miniseries of Wasteland.)

I wanna do a webcomic called Del Close's Skull where his skull walks the earth like Caine in Kung Fu and gets in adventures and shit.

Dude. That would rock.

(And there could be a crossover with the head in a bucket from the latter issues of Wagner and Grant's Outcasts).

The New Yorker profile of Harold Ramis from a couple of years ago makes it sound like Ramis and Murray had a huge falling out during the shooting of 'Groundhog Day,' and that they're still not getting along.

:-(

That said, if any cause could bring them together, Del would be it.

It's apparently still too early because I read "the Goodman theatre" as "the Goddamn theatre" and I wondered how Frank Miller was involved.

Miller actually started the "Are You Retarded?" Theatre, instead, for copyright reasons.

And it was so successful that he opened the "Are You Dense?" and the "Who The Hell Do You Think I Am?" movie theatres.

They show Sin City, RoboCop 2, and RoboCop 3 around the clock.

Hey, remember when everyone assumed that Robocops 2 and 3 were aberrations, and that Frank Miller was still, at his core, an immensely talented writer?

Who was his editor on Daredevil, Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One (arguably Miller's best work)? Denny O'Neil, wasn't it?

Denny would never have let Miller get away with DK2 or All-Star Batman & Robin.
