Sub Y’all

a sandwich shop that welcomes everybody

obsessed with quality over quantity or the need to produce tracks (breastcrawl), Thursday, 17 December 2020 16:17 (three years ago) link

Tubway, the nudist sandwich restaurant where the diners relax in Jacuzzis while food is brought to them.

(Sad footnote: Unfortunately the combination of warm lunchmeat, high heat, humidity, and naked people led this shop to be closed by health departments within days of opening.)

How about a dark reimagining of Worzel Gummidge?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000csng/worzel-gummidge-series-1-1-the-scarecrow-of-scatterbrook

Siblings Susan and John arrive at Scatterbrook Farm, home of the Braithwaites, to little fanfare. It's been a poor harvest and their hosts aren't thrilled to have two amateur farmhands around the place during such lean times. No-one on Scatterbrook Farm is more troubled by the late harvest than walking, talking scarecrow Worzel Gummidge. Worzel is strictly forbidden from talking to humans, but after mistaking John and Susan for fellow scarecrows, his game is up.

Worzel realises he will only save the day by going against some of his better instincts. He draws on the youthful exuberance of John and Susan, seeks the wisdom of his long-estranged Aunt Sally, and negotiates a testy deal with the frightful rooks and crows of Scatterbrook. With the help of the mystical Tree of Tree and his pet robin, Winter George, Worzel orchestrates a gathering of his fellow scarecrows on the night of the next harvest moon. Can he save the day?

Tim Allen already has the suit

kniphofia face (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 23 December 2020 03:06 (three years ago) link

tim allen would be good. mel gibson also for a little more controversy.

I just watched that Professor and The Madman (Oxford dictionary saga) on Netflix, it had a pretty good cast (Steve Coogan, Eddy Marsan, Sean Penn among others) and Mel Gibson's performance wiped the floor with all of them

unpopular opinion: Mel did okay as Hamlet

coup coup kajoo (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 23 December 2020 15:28 (three years ago) link

yeah, but hamlet is hardly as challenging or dynamic a role as santa

treeship., Wednesday, 23 December 2020 15:29 (three years ago) link

this is the big leagues we're talking about

treeship., Wednesday, 23 December 2020 15:29 (three years ago) link

santa can't be outwardly morose. he needs to convey all of that with just a touch of his nose.

kniphofia face (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 23 December 2020 15:35 (three years ago) link

need to say "ho, ho, ho" and mean "get thee to a nunnery"

kniphofia face (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 23 December 2020 15:37 (three years ago) link

well that is what the screenplay is all about, how santa's outward "jolliness" is really a defense mechanism and even, sometimes, a form of aggression. he is very often unfeeling and unresponsive: unwilling to adapt to a changing world or accept that his daughter has grown up.

i can't tell whether or not the above discussion is in reference to Mel Gibson's recent bad-Santa movie, stupidly titled "Fatman" and clearly SOMEone's terrible idea

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 23 December 2020 23:23 (three years ago) link

The discussion is about MAGA Claus

treeship., Thursday, 24 December 2020 01:34 (three years ago) link

wait is that a real thing or did you present it as a terrible idea??

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 24 December 2020 02:19 (three years ago) link

It’s a terrible idea I had for a movie. Came to me all at once.

Have an idea for an elaborate prank that would probably be hard to pull off involving creating a non-existent Caligula High School (maybe somewhere in Mississippi or West Texas or something) and then a campaign to rename Caligula High School, and then a counter-campaign to keep the name because we shouldn’t erase our history.

A modern day spinoff of Small Wonder, which follows Vicki's brother Jamie as an adult. Vicki is no more, having been dismantled years ago at the end of her useful life, and her name and memory never come up in the show, but the loss is subtly felt throughout.

a savory gingerbread house lacquered in ranch dressing, with jerky stick siding and ornamental cheese puff balls

instead of gingerbread it would be made of the same stuff as the rye chips in a bag of gardetto's
