So I’m emailing my friend Rosemary, and she’s going out on a date with her neighbor in France who looks like Johnny Depp, and she’s all “Johnny Depp is hot,” and I’m all “Then you’ll want to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie,” and she’s all “No way, they’re not really making a movie out of the Disney ride,” and I’m all “Way,” and she’s all “That will suck even with Depp,” and I’m all “There’s never been a movie with a talking skeleton that sucked.” And now that I’ve written this down, I’m convinced that I totally won that argument.
There’s a few people who read this blog who are in or trying to get into the entertainment industry. Hear me now and believe me later: you can’t fail by greenlighting a movie with a talking skeleton.* I’m giving you gold here. No you shut up.
*No, that does not mean more movies with Lara Flynn Boyle.
