Hey! They're making a movie based on a Kinkade "painting"!

[Tyrone Slothrop]

Awesome! Hollywood has so many great ideas, it's not surprising they've never bought one of my scripts!

1. What's it called?

"The Sucky Suck that Sucked Suckily"?

[Richardo]

2. "The Unbearable Lightness of Being Sucky McSucksalot..."

[Tyrone Slothrop]

3. "I'm Dreaming of a Trite Christmas"?

"The Asshole Who Ruined Christmas"?

"Visions of Shite"?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. Trite Xmas...Love it!

:rofl:

[Tyrone Slothrop]

13. I was partial to "Visions of Shite", myself

:rofl:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

4. "I Can't Belive People Pay Money For This Shit."

Preliminary title. May be changed per focus groups.

[Sequoia]

7. Depressing. Like a nuclear winter all the time.

[madinmaryland]

5. Matcom is producing it!!

[KamaAina]

6. Awesome! Ron Howard can direct, and they can shoot on location in Chicago!

Then we can sit back and watch Rabrrrrrr's head :nuke: !!

edit: soundtrack by Billy Joel, of course :evilgrin:

[GoneOffShore]

16. Don't go hating on Billy Joel!

Yanni maybe, but not Bill.

[KamaAina]

17. Take it up with Rabrrrrrr

the movie scenario was meant to be sort of "The Sum Of All Cultural Fears" to that stalwart Lounge lizard. Or at least I think it was, since he's always so shy about expressing his likes and dislikes. :P

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. Yes! And starring Fabio, Pamela Anderson, and Kirk Cameron

[GoneOffShore]

20. Can you throw David Hasselhof into the mix as well?

[Javaman]

8. This in a nut shell is why I left L.A.

the gross inanity of the "genius" producers finally comes to fruition.

only proves my point, "producers are the only still life on the planet that can kill creativity".

[supernova]

9. OMG! This is priceless!

Should this bold experiment into nontraditional source material pay off as handsomely as expected, the studio plans to quickly adapt the work of other massively popular and accesible artists, starting with a big-screen treatment of Bob Ross' Happy Little Tree, Fluffy Little Cloud, which could hit theaters as early as March of 2008.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

The sad thing is -- I might actually go see a biopic about Bob Ross

But Kinkade?

I think not.

[supernova]

15. I actually like Bob Ross

He seemed to have been a really nice man. And nothing chills me out more than watching his painting shows. At least he would be an interesting person to get to now, even if his paintings aren't very .... "deep."

Kinkaide, OTOH, is by all accounts an asshole.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

18. Oh, I do too

Which is why I'd be curious to see where he came from and how he created a long-running, meditative Zen painting program.

[Lisa]

22. biopic, heck -- they should make it a musical!

I think it would be more fun -- and way less creepy and sad -- than the proposed Kinkade feature.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. Is this going to help Kinkade pay off lawsuit debts?

And will it include these excerpts from his life story? http://blogs.ocweekly.com/blotter/painter-showers-oc-with-christian-love-and-urine/

[Tyrone Slothrop]

14. I can only hope that further lawsuits arise from this pic

B-)

[BarenakedLady]

12. Gawd

I need something sharp to poke my eyes out. :banghead:

[Lisa]

21. please let this be an early April Fool's Day joke!

Or at least, let them skip directly to the Bob Ross "Happy Little Tree" feature. That actually sounds good by comparison.
