Random Film Rambling

[omorka]

I have previously mentioned that I want to someday see a film about a multi-generational extended family of mad scientists, starring all of the "Bug-Eyed Boys" - Steve Buscemi, Christopher Lloyd, Brad Dourif, Elijah Wood, Tobey Maguire. (Originally, I had Don Knotts as the cranky, ancient patriarch of the family, but alas, he is no longer available for the role. Maybe we could age up John Lithgow instead.)

It is now clear to me that their cross-town rivals must be the Shark-Grinned Businessmen clan. Their ancient patriarch is Jack Nicholson; their mature, glad-handling frontman, Tim Curry; their slightly younger Man of Action, Hugo Weaving.

How about the aging golden boys who kill the box office just by their presence in a film? Dennis Quaid, Ben Affleck, Bruce Willis, Jeff Bridges? And sadly, despite my affection for him, David Duchovny in any non-Xfiles role?

Heehee. So true, although the latter two are capable of better, and I'm not sure THEY are the reason so many of their films failed.

This sounds pretty damn awesome (and I must state my support for including John Lithgow).

BWAHAHAHA!

I... I almost want to run that as a game now.

Once I saw "Sin City" I'm afraid I have to place Elijah Wood in the shark-grinned gang. His evil grimace from that film still haunts me.
