_Mike’s Murder_, the movie for Joe Jackson’s soundtrack. ---

Re: “Rochelle, Rochelle”. First the movie, which came out on video, and then the play. ---

Also back in 1991 I saw Tommy Chong at a comedy club, and he said, “me an’ Cheech are makin’ another move!”, but it’s probably just as well that never happened. And I’m sure by now most of us are glad Ralph Bakshi never finished his version of _Lord of the Rings_. ---

As bad as Bakshi’s _LotR_ was, the Rankin/Bass production of _Return of the King_ was far, far worse. And it’s **still** the only production of _RotK_ available! ---

Call me the ultimate consumer, but I wouldn’t object to seeing a **Feelie** ala _Brave New World_. People making love on a bearskin rug? Yes please! ---

In the Computer game \*\* The Longest Journey \*\*, at one point, the main character goes in to a movie theater where another character is watching (alone) a movie called \*Victory Hotel \* that apparently doesn’t actually exist. You only hear bits of the dialouge, but it sounded interesting and I’d have liked to have actually seen the film. ---

**Hansard’s Guide to Refreshing Sleep**. Dickens spoke highly of the books, and had v. 1-19 on his shelf. I await the movie. **The History of the World Part II** by Mel Brooks. Part I kinda sucked, but the previews for part II at the end of Part I (including “Hitler on ice” and “jews in space”) looked kinda fun. ---

Neil Gaiman’s **Sandman** [Script here](http://www.wordplayer.com/archives/SANDMAN.cover.html) as written by Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio. > [@](#): > > In 1992, the pair co-wrote the Disney animated feature ALADDIN, starring Robin Williams. Their live action credits include: LITTLE MONSTERS, starring Fred Savage; SMALL SOLDIERS, starring Kirsten Dunst; and THE MASK OF ZORRO, starring Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas. By the way, the Wordplay site from which this is taken contains 45 columns of How to Write a Screenplay direct from the above pros. Highly recommended ---

Lucas used that as cover while shooting parts of _Empire_, IIRC. Ya know, at the risk of slashdotting us again, I’d think that it’d be pretty cool to start a _Return of the Jedi_ as done by David Lynch thread. ---

Correct **Vorae** and **Tuckerfan**. It was the cover for the Tatooine desert scenes they filmed in Yuma from **Return of the Jedi**. ---

What are you talking about here? Jittlov made a short in 1979 called _The Wizard of Speed and Time_. He then made a full-length movie in 1989 also called _The Wizard of Speed and Time_ (in which the plot is a fictionalized version of how he made the short). Why do you think there’s going to be something else?
