Danger's confused. He was thinking of the actor that would have to play me on my online time. Hmmm.. who do we know that's 2 inches tall with blue skin and a big white hat? Wait, you're not going to do all my parts with little clay men are you?

I still don't know what's the movie about and we need an eyecatching title for it.
 
  • #67
It's an Altman film, so a story isn't really required (have you seen The Company?). How about for a title: "Certainly Unprincipled"?
 
  • #68
Yeah,I think it's a good title.

Bad news; something is terribly wrong. Last night on Hoax to Hoax AM, on the Art Dong show, some Hollywood insider was claiming this this whole PF movie thing is a cruel hoax perpetrated on physicists by a Bigfoot. Said the informant, "its just another case of ole Zooberoo..[then he broke down and cried for a moment]. It's the oldest trick in the book, and we all fell for it like a bunch of dumb apes!"

and who's playing the statutory ape?
I was going to say 'Michael Jackson' until I read the name more carefully. Now I guess it would have to be Clyde from 'Every Which Way But Loose'.
Couldn't we get a chimp instead? I've been told too many times that I look like Ben Afleck but I really wouldn't want to be played by him.

... if all us pfers get to go to the premier, it looks like we'll be meeting eh? perhaps that'd lead to a made for tv movie eh? or even a series! some pfers meet at the premier of a movie about their forum, then decide to movie in with each other, then kooky misadventures insue...
Oh m'gosh, another reality TV show? It would be about pfers who live together and fight over access to the computer, and when one member hogs the computer too much, the other members vote him out, and then... Okay, back to the sex and action. :-p

greg has to be the host though...how about that every day, everyone has to face a challange. then, whoever wins the challange gets 2 hours on the computer. if there's a cheater, we vote 'em out! and after each challange, the loser has to leave.
