News: Remember when I wrote that I plan to adapt J.D. Salinger's /The Catcher in The Rye/ into a movie and that I had a script ready? I wrote it January 2005. It is 119 pages. This would normally be the length of a regular motion picture, but one must keep in mind that I kept all of the times that Holden Rambles on and on for pages on end completely intact. This makes it miniseries length. I still would appreciate any information people would have requiring the whereabouts of Salinger besides that he lives in Concord, NH. As soon as I can Travel to New Hampshire, I will make sure he listens to my ideas, and giving him a point he will not argue with: If he either A) Does not let me argue my point, or B) Give his blessing to do The miniseries, I will not leave him alone until he does (I may have to work with the Concord Police with this one, lest he report me). My Script is a complete adaption of the book, as faithful as one could possibly imagine. It will be filmed in the actual locations whenever possible, (ie, since Penn Station is no longer as it was, I may need to pass Grant Central for it.) I also plan to cast actors who have little or no previous acting experience, since Salinger hates actors. Of course, in the step of convicing Salinger, I might also create a short film of "There are smiles", a short story mentioned in passing in Chapter 3 to show him.
Band name of the Day: Spider Hole. Shortly after the capture of Saddam Hussein, A local radio host I listen to named Steve Dahl mentioned the term used for his hideout, "Spider Hole" could make a good band name. I based this section on one of the sections of his show every Friday where he says the names of the most bizarre band names playing in Chicago this week.
Film Idea of the Day: Not a Film Idea per se, but a minseries idea. It is called /Ugizar/. It is about a Sidney Poitier-esque writer who takes a wrong turn and goes into a bizarre town where there is no escape for 666 days. It would be best described as David Lynch directing an episode of /The Prisoner/ written by Monty Python. It is mainly Character driven. Characters include a man who has converted his Hammond organ into a moving vehicle, and still have it be a functioning instrument, A sadistic man whose antics are very bizarre (i.e. chasing rabbits on a minibike until it has a heart attack, tying his wife to a chair and making her watch bizarre movies), a man who claims that Italy's film industry is proof that the World's existence is a lie (whom the writer has to live with for the time being), A Michael "Police Academy" Winslow wannabe, A secret society (The Brotherhood of a mohawk and Wheelchair) with a habit of coming to people's houses in the middle of the night dressed up as bees and whacking them on the backside with a fly swatter, A man with a constantly shocked expression (caused by a looking at a cow), and the mayor, who is a Devil wannabe. In the final episode, the Writer challenges the mayor's position and wins, which forces him to reveal that the town was just an illusion created so he could get women.
Review of the Day: /Imitation of life. /In 1947, an aspiring actress and her daughter meet up with an unemployed African American woman and her light-skinned daughter (who frequently passes for white in the course of the movie.) They move in with the actress, who suddenly gets a job. Flash forward 10 years: The Actress (played by lana Turner) is now a famous movie actress, and her Daughter (played by Sandra Dee) is hot for an older man who ultimately doesn't realize Dee's feelings and Goes for Turner, who is also oblivious. The Maid (Juanita Turner) and Her Daughter (Susan Kohner) are growing apart as Kohner's frequent attempts for Passing for white are thwarted by her mother. After they talk, Turner dies and is given a parade funeral in a hearse drawn by 4 Lippizaner Stallions. Kohner runs up to the hearse and apologizes like crazy.
Quote of the Day: "George Bush worships Mr. Peanut, whose name is the great God Goober."
