Might end up good. It might not. Just thought I'd share it, though.

The film is about the founding of facebook - so if the story behind it is quite interesting (I don't know whether it is, I haven't bothered to look) it could be fairly decent, comparable to the "Pirates of silicon valley" type of thing

The founding of Facebook? How on earth can that be a good film? I mean sure, it would be interesting but acouple of people getting bored and make a website might become exceedingly boring.

Well it will probably deal about how Facebook came about and the success of it and the following law suits because of it's origins.

Well Pirates of Silicon Valley was a great movie, and it was the same sort of thing, but about Microsoft and Apple... so if this is anything like that was, it might be worth a look.

Making a movie about a community website...how strange...

Well, I vote we make a TGC movie - I think we should cast Hugh Grant as Seppuku Arts, the main character, who manages to charm all of the women that catch sight of him. And perhaps if Vincent Price was still alive he could be our Benjamin. And Dolly Parton as Grandma for some absurd reason.

Haha, that's so ridiculous that I approve of it.

I'd definitely see that movie, however my head would probably explode from the randomness. I can only endure so much... one and a half hours of consecutive TGC randomness would be fatal.

Cool, then that means we get to explode Dolly Parton's head as a personification of that expression - finally I've been waiting for the excuse to do something like that.

Man - I'm so going to have to become a celebrity so I can call Dolly Parton and Hugh Grant for favours.

Hmm this idea for a TGC movie could go from a joke to something serious...might be a laugh.


Might be a worthy project. I smell ideas coming already.

I cast Matt Damon to play Jeku. Am I the only person who thinks he looks like him?

Liev Shreiber should play me, because (A) he's an under-credited actor who needs more roles, (B) he'd be playing me so it'd be a major role , and (C) He's the only famous actor who looks remotely like me, though I was once accosted by a Giovanni Ribisi fan in the Atlantic City Planet Hollywood. I wonder if my signature is legible?

No, you can clearly see Matt damon tilting himselfs a bit to the right, whilst Jeku the opposite way. They couldn't be more different.

Jake Damon, sounds to be likely.

So what...casting:

Seppuku - Hugh Grant
Grandma - Dolly Parton
Jeku - Matt Damon
Benjamin - Vincent Price (I know he's dead, but I have strong reason to believe that he actually was a vampire and that he's still undead)

For some reason we need Jackie Chan in there somewhere...Big Add, Dark Coder, Soapyfish, Rami?

Oh dear. In that case, Vincent Price is definitely a good enough actor to play Benjamin.

Just tell the actors it's for a charity (Student Beer fund charity) and they'll do it for free.

Well hopefully it'll be just as good, except I don't expect Facebook to compare to anything as huge as Microsoft and Apple. Still, you might be surprised. Aaron Sorkin is a pretty good screenwriter - A Few Good Men is one of my favourite films.

No but did you know, they made something similar to this, I think it was called Pirates of Silicon Valley or something. It was about Microsoft and Apple and stuff.

I demand that I be played by Adam West! No one else could possibly portray my personality accurately!
Also, I could do all the editing! I have Adobe premier pro CS3, and I am a multimedia student at the Pittsburgh Technical institute. I am going to take the Video/3D track, (as opposed to the web/interactive track) and I have access to all kinds of cool equipment at school.
FEAR ME, OR I WILL EDIT YOU INTO A FLYING TURTLE WITH AN AFRO!!!

Do you mean the 1960's Batman Adam West, or the contemporary Family Guy Adam West? Either way, I don't care to see you portrayed in spandex.

Hmm... A mixture of both would be best. Because I am very crazy-random like the FG version, but also epic and awesome like the ye olde Batman version.

I'd cast Steven Strait as seen in 10,000 BC as Seppuku due to the dreadlocks he had in the movie.

Benjamin... I'd cast a cat.

Grandma... I would cast the the grandma from courage the cowardly dog... or Hitler.

Jeku would be Matt Daemon, no questions there.

Roxas I'd cast some Asian kid with crazy blond hair as you.

Me. Eh. Not sure, someone make something up.


We should totally do this movie though. We should all make the master script together, then take out words where it would be really funny to, then divide it up amongst those who wish to participate. Then we each fill in our own random words in the places that words were removed, do something to act it out however we want, and then everyone can submit there videos and then someone could rearrange them and make a random movie! It would be amazing!

There we go, now I know where you are. Wait a minute? The only one behind the suspicious ant farm that I didn't think I have in my room is Adam West looking at penguin pr0n! So THAT'S who you are Grandma?
