My kids (8 year old twin girls) will be all over this like Cheney on a waterboarding video. Hip hop mule? Check. It seems to be aimed squarely at pre-tweens, hip enough to appreciate a blinged out mule yet naive enough to enjoy stories where good triumphs against very long odds.

Don't front on On Deadly Ground. Caine's performance in that flick is probably the closest thing we'll ever see to a live-action depiction of Mr. Burns from The Simpsons. The scene where he films the fake eco-commercial (in one take!) and then immediately melts down ("Goddamn it, these animals fucking stink!") is 24-karat comedy gold.

A few years ago a "friend" got me The Terror Within II on DVD as a joke gift due to me sharing my name with the director/writer/producer/star. I joked that if I ever wrote, produced, directed and starred in a film, I would make sure I got to score the hot chick at the end. Once I sat down to watch the film I realized that I had badly underestimated my namesake - he scores the hot chick within the first 10 minutes.
The Terror Within II also stars Andrew Steven's mother (Playboy Playmate of the Month January 1960) who spends quite a lot of the time topless. I do not want to imagine how one goes about directing your own mother in a topless scene.

For a movie to be financially profitable, it doesn't even need to get its budget back. Thanks to various tax incentives and deductions, a lot of the money spent on movies can be recouped. If it makes about the same as it's budget, it's considered a success (by the investors at least). The amazing thing about The Cool Mule is that it's not (as far as I know) based on an existing property, which seems a bit risky these days. This is why so many absolutely hideous comic book and video game movies get sequels. The original source material has enough draw to guarantee enough butts in the seats that it's not a completely wasted effort.
And yes, that screenplay pitch depository is the greatest thing of all time.

Title: The One That Got Away
Logline: Celestial love is torn apart in the heavenlies only to be rediscovered on planet earth. The ousted original dark angel relentlessly pursues his lost love moments before the apocalypse.
Synopsis:
What does the hidden angel do when everywhere she turns this mysterious figure appears? She gives him the run around in various manners including seeking shelter in an insane asylum, feigning an overdose and trying to make it as a stand up comic and actress. Meanwhile the original dark angel and his comrades, the dark angels, battle for the rights to his long lost love through the help of the light angels. Knowing there is no other way to bypass God's plan, they discover a loophole that will bring the two estranged lovers back together again. The title is a reference to the original dark angel stealing away his object of affection shortly before the apocalypse, or also known as the end of the world. The dialogue is full of wit and banter between the main characters and the angels, which is saturated with satire. This original screenplay has been compared to the work of Stanley Kubrick with its witty and unpredictable twists and turns.

I'm disappointed it wasn't titled The Fast and the Fourious. Or, Four Fast, Four Furious.
My choice would be More fast and furiouser.
