My Family
A conversation between my brother and I over IM (with little to no editing):
Me: they should have a channel
on cable
that's, like, Greenlight TV
where they produce crazy stuff
high end public access
I bet it'd make tons
Bro: As long as I can produce my "Mein Hitler, Mein Hero" movie, I'm in! It's about the great, great, great, great grandson of Hitler, who travels back in time to kill his Great Grandfather to alter the events of WWII, even though it means his undoing. Shia LaBeouf will play Adrian Hitlowski, Jude Law will be the voice of his travel cube, and Sean Penn will play the Third Reich.
We can't lose!
(That's the tag line by the way) "WE CAN'T LOSE!"
Me: Starring Brian Austin Greene as Hitler
and Jean-Claude Van Damme reprising his role as Max Walker
the Time Cop
Bro: YES!! And Russell Crowe can go method and play a church pew. Or the Star of David.
Me: Gary Oldman as Hitler's Twin
he's Gary Oldman, playing Gary Oldman....playing Hitler.
in the future
Bro: Sean Penn as Russell Crowe as Gary Oldman as Adolf Hitler.
Me: he plays Hitler in the stage play of "Mien Hitler, Mein Hero," in the future
until Hitler from the past invades his brain
Bro: And they have to send in Bruce Willis to fight the "Brain Hitler" from within. Innerspace style!
Me: but they can't beat him, so they show him the power of love by getting Eva Braun ('Gossip Girl's' Blake Lively) to convince him of the error of his ways
and Hitler goes back in time and kills himself
saving the world
Bro: and Hugh Jackman play the Luger that does the job. Only it's a musical metaphor, and Hugh sings about life as a Luger. Then when Hitler pulls the trigger, Hugh dances about the stage in tribute to the bullet's movement, before diving through a red curtain to end the scene.
Me: And then at the end, we cut to a CGI re-animated Paul Newman at the moment of his death. His eyes go wide, then glassy.
