2001: a groovy odyssey, man
again, i’m taking some liberties with the original concept of the “business model of the hour, ” but since i never actually POSTED the concept, you’ll never know the difference…
today’s installment is a movie pitch.
some of you will remember wizard of oz, that wonderfully midwestern all-melanin-deficient story of a girls’ adventures in oz… and some years later (almost 40!), the wiz came to the silver screen to broaden our perspective on the wonderful story of monetary policy. (monetary policy? i thought it was about a scarecrow!)
now, between these two films, another film was produced. it was called 2001: a space odyssey
anyway, flash-forward to the 21st century. it’s time to put some soul into 2001.
i propose re-making 2001 with a new, cool cast. and i propose isaac hayes as hal and george clinton as dave bowman. i think the rest of the cast will fall into place naturally after that.
you know you’re dying to hear george say “open the pod bay doors, hal” and isaac say “i’m sorry dave, i’m afraid i can’t do that.”
so, all you big hollywood-types that are cruising my blog – get your funk out, and let’s greenlight this.
