Working Title: Turtles, Turtles Everywhere!
Release Date: June 26, 2011

Sally May Jenkins (Jane Fonda) and Billy Joe Jenkins (Beau Bridges) are quirky Louisiana turtle farmers (and part-time grandparents!) who love only one thing more than spending time with their eccentric farm family in a colorful Cajun setting: raising and caring for thousands of turtles! But when their funky swamp life is threatened by evil Yankee developer Troy Burnheart (Bradley Cooper), can the Jenkins clan manage to rally the community to save the turtle farm, or will Burnheart and his cronies succeed in draining the swamp to build a shopping mall?

JAGGER DOES AMERICA

this would sort of be like a 'no reservations' style weekly tv series chronicling l0u1s jagg3r's first tour of america -- he would do 'things' and go to 'places' but the crux of the show & the hook that would keep viewers coming back would be his own writing & narration in classic jaggerian prose -- also there would be cooking interludes, like we would find him a kitchen and he would do like two or three quick dishes, recipes posted on our website

love it

needs a sidekick

that wd be me

awes

aw nakh I thought you was gonna volunteer

pledge £10 to an ilx0r paypal fund for plane tix + digicam

as godard said, all you need to make a film is a girl and a gun a max and a jag

no sidekick for lj

:(

btw nakh when are you and I gonna bro down over a tumbler of something lethal and a grand sporting occasion

hmmnph if i ever get freebies to a cricket match again i'll let u know but i imagine the irlj experience is probably too intense for delicate souls like yrs truly

haha

am generally pretty low-maintenance + coyly affable IRL and not terrifying (ppl are free to dispute this btw) - think on it dude, you seem A+ sound

i feel like coy is a thing you cannot call yourself. like, other people can observe that you're coy but if you call yourself coy it makes me wonder.

not coy--"coyly affable"

"affable, in a coy manner"

i thought about that and i am not sure what it means frankly, but still

it was a sort of deliberate oxymoron? idk. you're right.

LJ: COYLY AFFABLE S01E01 script

LJ sits crosslegged in front of the fly-ridden corpse of a coyote, clutching antique winchester rifle and staring unblinkingly into the camera for some 10 seconds w/ blood stripes under his eyes

INTERTITLE; THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF DEATH IN THE MIND OF SOMEONE LIVING

LJ: THIS is my story, and all thee who bear witness to it shall know my glory, for terra incognito is but an enticement to my kind [etc]

:D x1000000

inspired by reading this piece goole linked on the Giffords shooting thread: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/print/2011/01/is-jared-loughner-a-white-house-case/69348/

"White House Case" is the term of art used by psychiatrists since the at least the 1960s to describe a distinct subset of the mentally ill who become psychotically preoccupied with the inhabitants of the White House or other government offices.

The White House Case (dark comedy)

Over the years, the psych ward at St. Elizabeth's Hospital's in Washington DC has collected a rag-tag bunch of patients, all committed for exhibiting a peculiar (though not violent) obsession with various US presidents. A group of 5 such patients have over the years formed a close fraternal bond while spending their years in the ward together, each having been committed for their unhealthy obsession with a different late-20th century US president.

One night, they catch wind that some staff at St. Elizabeth's are actually being using their employment as a cover for their membership in a clandestine rogue terrorist group planning on assassinating the current US president. As the only people in the world capable of stopping this plot, they must band together to break out of St. Elizabeth's, warn the authorities of this plot, convince anyone they can that they're not crazy, and save the president's life.

I see this being Eddie Murphy's "comeback" performance as the Regan-obsessed patient.

love it

lets start preproduction next month
