Calling all filmmakers...

Remember those old Olive films we used to make? (A good majority of
"we", anyway.) Ozzy and I were reminiscing about the old Olive Fried
Movie (done in the same vein as "Kentucky Fried Movie" or even SNL)
and started wondering why we can't make another one. We even came up
with about a half dozen vignettes. When can we get together to film
them?

Some suggestions:

* A Klingon delicatessen - you eat what you're served OR ELSE!
* Attack of the Vampire Baby (possibly starring the youngest potential
Olive with his mommy and daddy's permission...)
* A Benny Hill-esque sketch (starring someone who may or may not
remind you of good ol' Benny...)
* A Jerry Springer-esque sketch (starring someone who may or may not
remind you of good ol' Jerry...)
* A Studio 7 episode (the ORIGINAL talk show called Studio 7, not that
fake stuff with so-called "real" people) guest starring Benny Hill,
Jerry Springer, John Lithgow, and Johnny "Bassett" the hard-luck
mobster...
* A commercial comparing Brand X with new and improved Brand X
(poison, soap, or other non-potable liquid), only the spokesperson
forgets which one is which and ends up drinking one before saying, "Ah
yes - the other one is new and improved."
* A commercial for kids' cereal but the kids on screen hate the taste
of it while an off-screen voice keeps whispering, "Come on, boys,
PLEASE just PRETEND to like it, they've paid you enough money..."

and more!

How about scheduling a day of filming, followed by a night of viewing
old Olive films one weekend every two or three months? We might even
finish by 2010!

Tentative first Olive filming/viewing night: October 30 at the Ozzy
Zoo?
