I think I'll do another comic book flick

Bio & Blog

Making that Mariah Carey video got my creative juices flowin’, bros. And my man juices! …’Cuz Mariah Carey’s hot. And has boobs ‘n stuff. What was I talking about? Oh yeah, I wanna direct another comic book movie: Harbinger.

It’s awesome and totally original. You guys know I don’t like to do what’s been done before, either by myself or others, and am always striving to try to challenge myself with unique projects. Harbinger is no different. Harbinger is like X-Men, except way cooler. I pitched it as “X-Men meets X2 with a dash of X3,” the execs went wild. 

 

To be totally honest, I’m not really sure what it’s about. Something about superheroes and killin’ dudes and teenagers. Also, there’s a cheerleader in the group. I wonder if Hayden Panetierre’s busy…

Until then, I’m gonna get back to working on my new Hugh Hefner biopic, Playboy. I’ve got a lot of research to do with my dad’s stack of old Playboys from the 60’s and 70’s. I got a feeling I’ll be researching this one for a looong time. Catch ya on the flip side, bros.

David Lynch:

I once made a comic book film inspired by Archie. Jughead actually had a jug for a head, but the opening was vaginal looking. Halfway through, he devovled into an immovable jug with no head. I was worried the critics would think I was ripping off Beckett. The truth is, I may have been.

Christopher Hitchens:

God, I am so tired of this elitist academic pedantry (and yours too, Lynch). All this post-modernist, post-structuralist jargonizing and theorizing. Why don't you go back to your roots, Ratner -- make a documentary about licking flecks of cocaine out of the corners of airport bathrooms. That's the avant garde.
