The big hit of the summer

[yendi]

You know what would be a great idea? A live-action movie featuring talking guinea pigs. With Nicholas Cage as one of the animals. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. And written by the husband and wife team who wrote the I Spy and Shaggy Dog remakes*, with a first-time director from the f/x side of things.

Thanks, Hollywood! I'm happy to know that the summer movie season, normally so boring, will have an exciting, Oscar-calibre movie to keep me entertained.

*Really, now, when the hell are we going to get a season of 24 with Jack going after folks like the Wibberleys and Friedberg/Seltzer?

One wonders how many bottles of JD & lines of coke it took to come up with that one.

But -- but -- but -- it's got Steve Buscemi and Loudon Wainwright III in it! I mean, sure, it looks bad if you go and cherry-pick vague unrelated elements, but it's got Buscemi and LW3, which means it has to be at least as awesome as the last two movies the pair of them were in, 28 Days and Big Fish! So there! *waves arms*

I didn't see you as the "talking with your arms" type...

Steve Buscemi and Loudon Wainwright III

Now I'm picturing them as a couple. (How wrong is my mind? I need to ask that before the men in white coats ask that...)

*boggle* Really? I talk with my hands flailing all the time, like the good Italian-American that I am. When I was in high school, my friends were all scared to death of me learning how to drive because they were worried I'd talk, and therefore start gesticulating the way I always do, and crash the car....

Maybe this is really a method of creating media for use in counter-terrorism? Sort of like playing Heavy Metal to detainees? That's the only explanation I can find...

Bruckheimer's been slacking on the WTF??! Factor (or WTFF) in his work since Kangaroo Jack. He's catching up. (Could be worse: He could be adapting John Ringo's books.* Oh, wait, he doesn't do book adaptations. Phew. We're safe.)

Really, now, when the hell are we going to get a season of 24 with Jack going after folks like the Wibberleys and Friedberg/Seltzer?

I smell hughcasey's next short!

* Whenever I go past the Rs in bookstores' SF shelves I now think "Oh John Ringo No!" Kind of preemptive. Aids my sanity.

As usual I blame Adam Sandler. That damn big eyed guinea in the commercials for Bedtime Stories gave someone a bad idea.

As soon as i saw the title, the first thought in my mind was "Why do they have Nicholas Cage playing Galactor? And why is he a hamster?"

Found your journal by typing in the name of my comic into a search engine, "featuring Talking Guinea Pigs." Goodbye sort-of original idea.
