Who be Derek Zoolander? He's extremely rock and roll.

Mine is Max from Where the Wild Things Are.



Or maybe it's the monsters. Hmmm.

Perfect choice, I was looking around imdb to find my new Messiah - the Dude would be perfect - can I also worship him or do I have to find my own?

If my Messiah's going to suffer for my sins, he may as well get a buzz out of it.

Vincent Gallo, believe it or not, is not a fictional character. No, seriously, he's a real dude.

POW!

This thread is great. I can't get enough of quoting Tenenbaums with people. And Bob and Moz in the same thread? Oh yes.

It makes me wonder how good the actual Matrix films could have been, if they weren't actually the Matrix at all... but instead we have:

Neo = Bill S. Preston (we don't want more Keanu, do we?)
Morpheus = The Dude
The King = Bob Pollard (I know there isn't a king as such in the matrix, but who cares? This is better. And Pollard should be a wise king. Who gets up and shows the young uns how it's done with his super high kicks! "That's my own move y'know.. it's not great but it's mine")

And side men, like Eli Cash and Morrissey, who bicker with each other on the "ship". ie, Eli says something (maybe about wildcats) and Morrissey roles his eyes and says "how droll" and gets constantly fed up with his futile existence.. battling against the machines. Or alternatively - battling Vincent Gallo, and his giant ego/cock (are they the same to him?). Morrissey may also be the love interest, we're not entirely sure, but he's probably not very happy about it. But he'll be able to make some cutting remarks and put everyone down, so that's ok.

Come on! Let's make it! Like that LOEG shit! How good would this be? I need your help with this, I've not really thought this through properly yet... these are only half-ideas. It may be late and I may be tired but personally I think this is an excellent idea.

The fucking JOYTRIX: Where they find out that behind it all it's all pretty much excellent really, and all have a good laugh at Vincent Gallo's face.

Suedehead, you left out Al Goldstein. Al could be the millionaire pornographer bankrolling them.

Oh he's there Qalyn, but he's on the down low. He can't let Vincent Gallo's secret spies find out what his goals are. He was the one who accidentally allowed for Vincent's penis to be enlarged to its now humongous (world threatening) state, which caused his super super super ego to expand creating a parallel dimension. Or some shit like that.

We can be vague about the specifics, that's ok. As long as we add in all sorts of stupid religious imagery, that will ensure people will still be discussing this work in years to come. Except for people like us, who will instantaneously know what everything means.

Also: I think for the "human" angle, we should see how the "war" affects the people in the real world. For this we can have the "gay angle" - Frodo and Sam, and Becky and Enid from Ghost World. They don't have much to do, Frodo and Sam have some homo erotic scenes concerned with "making shells" and "loading big guns" and "shooting off". While Becky and Enid just stand around being a bit dumb, and worrying about guys, cos, like, they're girls.

Also; there must be a peaceful resolution, but we can just tack that on the end and pretend that's how it was meant to be. Oh, but Vincent Gallo must die.

Yeah, just like Bill Hicks said! "Put 'em in the movies!"
Do you want Vincent Gallo to meet Chuck Norris?
