It stars ... me! I'm the manager of a rock band. I recruit four chimpanzees to play in the band. Each chimp has a very melodramatic back story. I do my best to teach them to play instruments. We go on tour, playing small rock clubs across the US of A. Backstage, I give the chimps lots of pep talks and raise false hopes that we're going to SXSW, and then we're gonna tour Europe and Japan. Also, there's lots of scenes of the boys flinging their monkey excrement at posters of Peter Tork, Michael Nesmith, Davey Jones, and the other guy. Because those dudes are not the REAL Monkeys. I am pitching the show to MTV and Animal Planet, and hoping to arrange an unprecedented deal where it gets shown on both networks. <blockquote><em>...not written by Dave B.</em></blockquote>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175160853572186316.post-66028870828783505812008-02-07T14:06:00.000-08:002008-02-07T14:10:48.491-08:00"The Twist"<p>Beehive hairdos, Chubby Checker, and the con of a lifetime! In this feature film set in 1960, two grifters try to fix the results of a dance contest at a summer resort in the Poconos. The double- and triple- crosses mount until finally it is revealed that the belligerent crook is really an undercover FBI agent, the naive girl from Iowa was in on it from the very beginning, and the conspiracy reaches all the way to the White House. Or, rather, it would have, had everything not actually taken place inside the deranged mind of the camp’s entertainment director.<blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">...not written by J.R.

The film follows the three most attractive, promiscuous, and spiritually bankrupt graduates of Rancho Pacifico High--and their sidekick Pudge--as summer ends and the temptations of college life lie just around the corner. After a particularly dissatisfying night of (offscreen) debauchery, the boys realize they have <em>just 48 hours </em>to find the perfect prayer group, sign an abstinence pledge, and reclaim their virginity before the fall semester begins. (Parental warning: some viewers may be offended by the character of Pudge, who utters several mild oaths, and is Jewish.)<blockquote><em>...not written by J.R.

As the series progresses, we see this woman slowly, very slowly transform from total breakdowns at witnessing harrowingly hang nailed children, to (hopefully, fingers crossed, by end of Season 1) steely reserve in the face of ganglion cysts. There will also be hot guys. And actual water-cooler talk. Both possibly occurring simultaneously within a scene - in every single episode. A kind of “House” meets the poor sods in “Intervention.”<br /><blockquote><em>...not written by Donna F.

McGee insists he just wants to live his life and doesn't need any special treatment, but his neighbors won't have any of it. They quickly give him a clever nickname, invite him to a seemingly infinite number of ribbon-cutting ceremonies for the town's new wheelchair ramps and constantly stop him on the street to remind him how courageous he is.
