I AM ON FIRREEEEEEE
Me and my friend in Oslo are considering fleeing to the Antarctic from this mofoing sticky awful icky heat. Then when winter returns up here we dump the penguins for the polarbears to which she went
"oh, but winters in Oslo are cool enough!"
to which I "yeah but polar bears are walking all over Oslo, everybody knows that!"
now, we're planning this on the big screen. Tank Girl meets Bionic Woman meets big bad bear.
me: "I have to make this into a movie"
her: "success! Tthe boldest ones brave the city with tanks to bring supplies. A post-apocalyptic tinge is in the air, half-eaten people strewn across the streets...behind every corner might be lurking a bloodthristy polar bear..."
her: "The Polar Bear Myth - No Longer A Myth, coming soon to a theatre near you"
me: "imagine...a society, where man and bear live together, side by side in harmony. The bear's natural inhabitat was destroyed by a gargantuan meteor, leaving only a small population of these nature's outcasts. Now they must fight their instinct, to hunt and kill their new allies, the noble humans."
I'm Tank Girl!
her: "what could I be, hmmm...."
me: "Bionic Woman? Aeon Flux?"
her: "I was thinking more like Ellen Ripley..."
me: "or how about we're...Bonnie and Dyke [my friend's gay]...or Thelma and Louise! Dibs on Louise!"
her: "real bears or CGI?"
me: "real ones of course! Two real women [the Swedish word "äkta" can mean two being married], elevenhundred real bears"
her: "and a bunch of extras! No problem making them act genuinely scared...masses of people fleeing in the streets with 1100 bears on their tails...oh yeah, this'll be really good"
me: "my chance for trying out as a sound designer..."
her: "soundtrack? Electro? Industrial? Jarre as a guest star?"
me: "you're a fucking genius. And music, electro-industrial, EBM, futurepop! Alice in Videoland's "Going Down" for instance."
her: "financing?"
me: "my uncle and stepdad, two big shot business men"
her: "but are there that many polar bears left? Clone polar bears? China and South Korea could do that..."
me: "or mechanical ones? From Japan"
her: "goood, good then we could have a note in the movie "no real bears were harmed making this movie!" And we donate a big sum to WWF to protect the polar bear. We're fucking guaranteed to win the Golden Bear at Berlin for this! And everything in Cannes..."
me: "and be the 4th movie to win 11 Oscars!"
...she obviously is the PR and practical management person here, knows what questions to ask and what we need, I'm responsible of the idealizing the artistic aspects, making and picking the sound and music, directing, writing the storyline....
YEAH!
and...I haven't laughed so hard in ages as I did during this conversation. I have the best friends in the world.
