The latest contest (click) is for some movie called Stay Alive, where the concept is "You die in the game, you die for real." It really doesn't even seem so fictious to me. It wouldn't surprise me one bit that if I keep dying before I make it to the next level of 25 to Life, I'm gonna keel over from screaming and throwing my Sunny D at the television.
Anyhoo, design the poster for the flick, get a whopping 10 DVDs and a signed poster to boot. Yawn. Isn't that what they pay graphic designers for? Soon it'll be "Come up with the concept for our Rush Hour 3 movie, and win two free rentals from Blockbuster and as many Goobers as you can shove in your mouth in 60 seconds!"
What's even more offensive than the fact that they're taking away jobs from people in the movie industry, to be honest, is that they never, ever pick my designs. The people who judge these things are more picky than those The New Yorker bastards. Well, those Stay Alive people won't be able to deny my creative genius on this one. Since I love you guys so much, I'll let you have a sneak peek at my entry right here.
But please, tempting as it may be, don't steal it and pass it off as your own. That just wouldn't be right, and I've been doing mouth stretching exercises of late so I can cram the maximum amount of Goobers in my gob.

If you're one of those Brokeback Mountain fans who obsessively collects all things BM related and you've got an extra $30,000 laying around the house, have I got news for you! Variety, The Children's Charity, is holding a charity auction on eBay (via)for the real shirts worn by Health & Jake during the "summer winter lovin'" part of the flick. You know, the two shirts, hanging as one in the closet (ahem) at the end of the movie? Now they can hang proudly in your own closet, with the original stains in 'em and everything. Don't worry, if you don't have an extra $30,000 laying around the house, I hear that you can live a pretty decent life with just one kidney. Personally, I plan to buy the shirts so I can wear 'em, maybe play some dress 'up, and put on a little play for my class. Here's a sneak preview of the dialogue, 'specially for you:
Jack: Man, oh man, do your beans suck.
Ennis: Not as much as your harmonica playing, bro!
Jack: Bite me. You know who I hate? Our boss.
Ennis: Me too. I'm tired of him giving us the stinkeye.
Jack: You know, he kind of looks like Cousin Eddie to me if you squint right.
Ennis: Who?
Jack: Cousin Eddie! Does the movie Vacation ring a bell?
Ennis: Dude, it's like, 1962.
Jack: Oops, my bad. Hey, I'm bored. Wanna stem the rose?
Ennis: I have no idea what that expression means.
Jack: You'll like it. Trust me on this.
Ennis: Would it make me queer? Cuz I ain't no queer.
Jack: Certainly not.
They proceed to engage in some rough, passionate rose stemming.
Randy Quaid: I knew it! On a totally unrelated note, do you boys have any Hamburger Helper?
Finis.
I'll have to show this to my buddy Max Fischer...I'm sure he'll deem it worthy enough to be performed by his players!

There are some movie scripts that people request the hell out of on a daily basis, and Brokeback Mountain is one of 'em. Every day, another heart gets broken when I let them know that alas, I do not have this screenplay yet. Or worse, the e-mail gets buried in spam, I never see it, and the person probably deems me a wanker and vows to punch me in the kidney when I'm not looking. This hasn't happened yet, but I'm especially cautious of any stranger who's in slugging proximity of this mighty sensitive organ.
Long story somewhat shorter, a fella who asked to be called Jack (brokebacklvr@yahoo.com) was kind enough to throw me a dialogue script of Brokeback. Basically, it's a transcription of all the words in the flick, and that's it. Bare bones to the hilt. Dialogue scripts are a mixed bag; some people love 'em, some think they're the Antichrist. I think of 'em as a Saltine cracker. I'd much rather have a Ritz, but if I'm hungry enough, it ain't half bad. And it's better than, y'know, starving.
This is why I'm not paid to make analogies.
Anyhoo, check out the dialogue version of the Brokeback Mountain Script.
And even better is the Warm Springs script (the real deal), courtesy of Babs. It just won the WGA award a few days ago, so you know it's good readin'.
And for those of you who say I never mention scripts on the blog, there you have it.
On a side note, I learned today that James Frey wrote the excruciating Jason Lee/David Schwimmer flick known as Kissing A Fool.
In my book, this is a much more heinous crime than the whole "liar, liar!" nonsense; why didn't Oprah nail him to the cross for this crime against humanity?

something new
sanaa needs a man
boy toy trumps race/class issues
girl gets her swirl on
when a stranger calls
meh - been there, done that
jamster ads are scarier
this rose ain't got jack
And that, as they say, is that. Might as well just stay home and rent Corpse Bride or Bubble.

Obviously, I'm not trying to re-invent the movie blog wheel here. I'm just never lacking in opinions about movies, pop culture, news, and other assorted hoohah. And my mailman has put a restraining order on me, so here's my place to vent.
