Picture, if you will, an Alice in Wonderland/Wiz of Oz melange done in the cine-noir style of alien/blade runner pastiched with all the psychelic stylings of the love child of Cirque du Soleil and the 5th Element. Something like you'd read in Heavy Metal magazine but not anywhere (hopefully) as shitty as their animated films.

00:57 / 03.02.04

Who's your lead? Rutger Hauer or Eric Roberts?

00:59 / 03.02.04

Cool. I’m picturing that movie right now. Can I be the rebellious stoner who you think is going to survive to the end, but shockingly gets his brains eaten when he’s just about to kiss the heroine? Perhaps by a cyborg clown?

01:01 / 03.02.04

Its gonna be a female lead. I need someone who can go from that lost kicked puppy look to blazing psychopath out to right the wrongs inflicted on all she cared about. Any suggestions?

01:02 / 03.02.04

Trini Alvaredo.

01:06 / 03.02.04

BH, check your PMs!

Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

01:06 / 03.02.04

Oh, you know I'd want Parkey Posey to be the kick ass female lead. That way I could combine my two cinematic film obsessions.

I just saw the TV ad for House of the Dead and whoever made the commercial deserves to get an award of some kind. They made an incredibly shitty and unwatchable movie look like something you'd want to see. I saw it in the theater (because I knew it woudl stink) and was tempted to go out and get it before I saw it was an ad for House of the Dead. Those guys are GOOD.

01:11 / 03.02.04

I cant stand Parker Posey. I dont know why, just something about her irks me. I was thinking Erica de Ravin or Mia Kirschner. Why just stop at one person?? I can have the main character and the ones she turns from the side of evil.

01:11 / 03.02.04

Why don't they get the guys who edit the trailers to direct the films?
Yes, I'm well aware that is the same logic path as 'If black boxes are designed to survive plane crashes, why don't they make the plane out of the same substance as the black box?' But I'm tired and irascible. And I want to play 'Superstitious Villager 2' in Keggers' fillum.

01:13 / 03.02.04

Upgrade to the previous post: Replace 'guys' with 'people' and 'Superstitious Villager 2' with 'Skeptical Authority Figure 3'.

01:13 / 03.02.04

Yes...superstitious villager... I like that concept. Ofcourse, you realise, you will die in a most comic maner. Posibly involving a catapult.

01:17 / 03.02.04

OK, I return my brain to it's previous setting. Will you have an elaborate dance sequence?

01:18 / 03.02.04

Oh, I love getting PMs. It’s like passing notes around.

Oh bugger, I just noticed I missed a conversation about glue. I’ll belatedly assert that the best glue ever was Cow Gum. Which you can’t buy any more, supposedly because of some pernickety EU rules but I think it’s really because everyone and their auntie wants you to piss away all your cash on can after can after can of fucking spray-glue instead. The bastards.

Cow Gum was great. And yes, I’m saying that in the same tone of voice that normal people use when they’re talking about Bagpuss, or spangles.

And now, with those bafflingly Brit-centric references out of my system, back to the fun movie talk...

01:18 / 03.02.04

LOL! Funny you should mention that... I did have an idea for a zero-g bollywoodesque bellydance/capoeira number.

01:21 / 03.02.04

Was Cow Gum made of cows? Or was the creator just a big fan?
Cows don't need gum. They have the cud. Although of course that doesn't come in a variety of minty flavours.

01:22 / 03.02.04

It can.

01:22 / 03.02.04

Why don't they get the guys who edit the trailers to direct the films?

Armageddon, man. Well, almost. Although it’s more like 2 hours of end-to-end Budweiser and Gillette commercials.

Keggers! Folk music is *so* where it’s at this year. Do a Bollywood version of ‘The Landlord’s Daughter’ from The Wicker Man, and cover all the bases.

01:24 / 03.02.04

CRAP!! I've never seen the Wicker Man.

01:29 / 03.02.04

I love that scene! It's like a musical where one of the characters refuses to join in.
Well, to bed with me. Unfortunately Britt Ekland(or her bottom double) won't be grinding herself against the wall next door. But I'm sure I'll be filled with a sense of dread and unease when I go into town tomorrow. All is well.

01:33 / 03.02.04

G’night Biz. And Keggers, you now have a bona-fide classic on your ‘to watch’ list. How ever have you managed to avoid The Wicker Man so far?

Maybe Cow Gum was made of cows. I don’t know. That’d be a good enough reason to ban it I suppose, although it was damn fine glue and spray glue now controls society, despite also being made out of all sorts of unethical nasties (probably).

‘Came in a lovely soviet-style red and white tin, with ‘COW’ written on it in big letters. Didn’t list the ingredients. I’m only mentioning this now as material for your horror film, you know.

01:35 / 03.02.04

What are you expecting me to have the cows exact revenge???

Goodnight Biz!

01:41 / 03.02.04

No, it’s a government conspiracy/evil multinational, contaminating glue products (Glue! My God, children’s glue! That they’ll be using in schools on their Halloween projects! Oh the humanity!)

Fundamental rule, I thought, of horror films, is if you contaminate stuff with chemicals mayhem will ensue.

Although I also like the idea of cows exacting revenge...

01:44 / 03.02.04

What if you contaminate chemicals with good healthy stuff?

01:45 / 03.02.04

Mayhem will ensue. If it's a horror film.

01:49 / 03.02.04

The Olsen Twins in the lead roles. Its like the ultimate in kitzch(sp?)

02:05 / 03.02.04

Er, maybe. I suppose so. Tres kitsch.

haven’t got a clue who they are, dude.

02:18 / 03.02.04

Well they started off as a pair of twins playing a baby on "Full House" when they were still in diapers. They became multi-millionaires by the time they were 5 and since then have gone on to lainch a clothing line and do a whole bunch of films for kids "the Olsen Twins in Paris, The Olsen Twins Take Manhatten, The Olsen Twins Perform Lobotomies on Random Drunks"..you know how it goes...sigh.

21:29 / 03.02.04

Evening people!
Today I was described as a dog on heat. Today got me confused. Today screwed with my head. Bring on tomorrow. It will be better. Interview-type thing, then gym. We have only two catastophies in the making. I think.

I have a hot valentines date with my friend Craig, who once claimed I'd put him off his dinner when he saw a a small amount of boobage.

22:04 / 03.02.04

Evening ‘bop!

Yeah, bloody right, roll on tomorrow. I’ve had a terrible day. In fact it’s made me realise just how badly this year has started, everything’s gone wrong so far. And yet, last year was so good for me. I fear Valentine’s day might just be the end of me, this time.

Tomorrow I go out a try to hustle myself up a new job. Tonight, I feel sorry for myself. To this end I’ve purchased a bottle of the cheapest, nastiest rotgut I could find: generic ‘table wine’ at two pounds and seventy pee, and not even worth that. Yuk. Glug. Sob. Etc.

22:10 / 03.02.04

Evening Gingerbop. I thought of you this evening when Cirque de Soleil blew my mind and made me wish I could start all over again and do that with my life.
Anyway, why so confused? Why so on heat?
Is tomorrow's interview the newspaper one? What is it exactly? And did things get sorted with your busker friend? (I might not be a bona fide Lateshifter, but I pay attention).

22:16 / 03.02.04

Oh, and hello Bed Head. I missed you entrance (as it were).
Cheer up old boy. Can't be that bad can it? I mean £2.70 - that speaks of a self-loathing I find hard to believe.

22:30 / 03.02.04

Hi there SW, how are you?
Er, it’s all part of a fiendish drunk-logic self-motivating thing, honest. Nasty wine makes me want nice wine. To get nice wine I must get a new job, or I’ll be drinking nasty wine for the rest of my life. If I’m lucky, that is. Gazing into the abyss, and finding it tastes like second-hand vinegar. And then forcing myself to drink it all down. Gahh.

And no, things aren’t that bad, not really. I’ll sort everything out in the morning. Just a few more things to be sorted out, is all.

22:37 / 03.02.04

Well done smoothly weaving, that is bona-fide lateshifting attention paying!

Yes, its the newspaper one, its a "trainee sales person", I think for the adspace in the paper, and I dont know what the open day thing is- an interview, or genuinely just a look around.

As for my busker "friend", I got veryvery drunk last week, and texted him (*cringe* Im such a bitch) saying that it was just sex, it was just the once, and it wasnt happening again. He replied saying "ok good luck then". I felt guilty. He was so nice about it. Yet I was in town today, and refused to walk down the highstreet just incase he saw me.

Dog on heat- I started to like-like this guy. Who is gay. This is a reoccuring theme in my life which must end. Then I saw a guy I was seeing a while ago, who I stopped seeing because he got screwed up with drugs and stopped speaking to everyone and lost his job. Absolutely everything a girl doesnt need, but... GAH!

Next time, go and get some cheap vodka instead. Then you'll never want to drink again, turn straight-edge, get a straight-edge job and live a happy straght-edged life. Maybe.
But vinegar must be bad for you, in litre quantities.

So SW, it's your turn. Tell us all about your day and your life. Lateshift is a mush of livejournals for people who cant be bothered making one.

23:01 / 03.02.04

Ah, well my day was so uneventful I feel ashamed to talk about it. It invloved some distinctly half-arsed job hunting/research (ie. surfing the web with occasional reference to industry-related sites), but being rather distracted by the various comedy gems that have been littering Barbelith today. I'm really enjoying with the place at the moment (hence being here I suppose), but I'm sure that's jsut because I should be doing other things. It's like Sunday evenings before school when anything on TV seemed worth watching. Not that Barbelith isn't objectively super, I hasten to add. So there was that, and then an evening in the Albert Hall with my sister and respective partners, which was spectacular. I have had worse days.

Anyway, tomorrow demands more discipline, so I should be off to my bed. G'night both.

23:08 / 03.02.04

Night SW.

Do you think lateshifting makes us unemployable, or are we only lateshifting because of being unemployed? Sounds like a vicious circle to me.
