on movies, mocks, memes and mackinaws…

Spy Kids 3-D opens today. I’m a weenie, and IT’S IN 3D!!! Anyone want to go? I’ll of course be at Silky’s later if anyone is looking for me.

According to the Airborne Express website, my International Male order should show up today with one of my Jammy Jam outfits and a new tight shirt. (so sexy it hurts). Hopefully it will get here soon so I can wear it today.

Haven’t done the Friday Five in a while:

1. If your life were a movie, what would the title be?

Hmm, I guess it would all depend on what section of my life we are talking about. The whole thing? Just a certain time in my life? I guess I’d want something catchy. Maybe something like “Words and Weapons: The Chris Maverick Story” or maybe “Too Stupid to Die.” Oooh… I have it: “Chris Maverick vs. the World Crime League”

2. What songs would be on the soundtrack?

Definitely some Prince and some Morris Day and the Motherfucking Time. Like When Doves Cry and Jungle Love and maybe Computer Blue and Purple Rain. Actually, I might want the entire Purple Rain soundtrack, as well as Erotic City and Sometimes it Snows in April (for my death scene). There are some other tidbits that I could include, depending on my mood. Maybe Badboys for Life, Only the Good Die Young, Torn(hey, I’m listening to it right now), НАС НЕ ДОГОНЯТ, and Murder She Wrote. Some stuff by Teddy Pendergrass. I dunno, I can never make up mind on stuff like this. Ooh! I’d definitely need Iesha, I dunno how I’d work it in, but it would have to be there.

3. Would it be a live-action film or animated? Why?

Live action. Just because to make it animated would kind of inline me to be more fantastic. Maverick the me is real life. Maverick the superhero is animated.

4. Casting: who would play you, members of your family, friends, etc?

The problem with this is that actors I’d want to play me are already to old to play me. First that comes to mind is Billy Dee Williams, Terrence ‘T.C.’ Carson, Eriq La Salle or Glenn Plummer. Or maybe I’d just pick Affleck because he can play anything. And he was The Bomb in Phantoms.

Other characters… hmmm… Whoopi Goldberg as mamarayne, Hilary Swank as beststephi, Avery Brooks as jeremiahblatz and Joe Pesci as thwomp. My brother, Marcus can play himself. Those are off the top of my head. If anyone else wants to be cast. Just ask.

5. Describe the movie preview/trailer.

Its a dark and stormy night over a dark gothic looking building. Lightning crashes across the sky. The gate has letters that read “Arkham Asylum”. We hear maniacal laughter as we close in on the building. We pan through the dark hallways, laughter and thunder in the background, until we reach a certain cell. Inside the cell is a man in shadows, we close in on him to see him in a straight jacket. It’s Affleck! He’s laughing! He’s insane. Fade to Black. And the words “coiming 8.1.2004” appear on the screen in nice simple white letters.

So, only danitapgh has written me back confirming that she definitely wants to be on the rafting trip, so unless I hear from other people soon its going to be a very small trip. Ok, that really has nothing to do with a mackinaw, but I wanted the alliteration.
