3. Will the movie start in prison - involving a long flashback?
Sean Penn did a prison movie I think. Was it Bad Boys?

Another DU poster mentioned this movie recently and PH plays one messed up creep.

32. His voice is a problem but
It'd be nice to see an openly gay actor play gay for a change.

Oh, right, Rove is married. Silly me! He's straight.

47. are you sure he's married? Or are you talking about Melman?
His voice would add to the role.

"Listen, it would be fabulous if this gay marriage thing just became a big whoopty doo before the election."

29. It's too bad they executed John Wayne Gacy. Give him a dye job and a few
extra pounds and voila--Rove.

It would be hard for him to reach Rovian heights of creepiness though.

Maybe he should be a bit larger... But i wouldn't mind seeing him starring as Rove, and then we could have him as Rove and Arnold going back to acting playing Bush in "Twins 2" or something like that, or Arnold as himself with someone else as Bush with the three of them monkey-like guys and make it "Triplets" with the "See All Evil, Hear All Evil, and Speak All Evil" motifs.

39. Christopher Walken -- in a fat suit?
Edited on Fri Jul-15-05 04:57 PM by Vitruvius
As an actor, he has just the right creepiness.

Failing that -- how about the guy who played Neelix in Star Trek? He did an excellent job of "creepy" in The Princess Bride -- and he kinda looks like Rove...


Too bad the great 1930s horror movie actors are no longer available -- Bela Lugosi might be just the ticket...

43. How dare you!
How dare you even suggest that the incredibly good-looking (I'm not kidding) Christopher Walken portray such a disgustingly piggish little man as Karl Rove.
(my friends and family make fun of my infamous adoration of Christopher Walken and Willem Dafoe. But to me, they're hotties.)

53. Rush 8ball.
Edited on Fri Jul-15-05 07:26 PM by Hubert Flottz
It will be an epic hippie docu-drama, about wildly perverted sex orgies, drugs, booze, and draft dodging.

KKKarl(Rush)starts out in act one wearing a Bowtie, Beads, Boots, Beatle Wig and Bell Bottom Jeans and driving a dented up, grey primered, V W bus, with bright colored murals air brushed all over it. He's speeding down the West Coast Highway in his bus playing chicken with the oncoming traffic for kicks, as he's hitting a huge hooka type water pipe, with 41 hoses hooked up to it and snorting crunchy jiff peanut butter, off of the fourteen inch blade of a huge Army surplus Bowie knife. His blonde stringy haired girlfried Ann, is sitting on the passenger side, rubbing his crotch area with her right tennis shoe and holding the big shiny knife for him, as he cops a buzz. Ann, who's all red eyed and stoned on the four Mexican Reds, that she dropped an hour ago, screams out at the top of her lungs, over the loud music, "HEY KKKARL HONEY...LET'S PULL OVER DOWN HERE...AND DO IT AGAIN."


You can tell by the look in KKKarl's blood shot eye, that he could just give a f*ck less, about his draft notice that came in the mail yesterday, because, he is thinking of nothing but the wild sex orgy, that he's headed for down the coast. The V W Bus is headed for Orange County to hook up with a large group of cub scouts and weeblos, who all think they're going to a birthday party over at Jeb's beach house.

The camera pulls back from the bus and you can see a panoramic view of the bus, the highway and the beautiful West Coast sun sinking low in the evening sky. The opening song in the film starts out sounding tinny and distorted, because at first it's playing on the radio in the bus, but then it gets louder and louder, as the camera pulls back. The catchy tune that's playing in the opening scene is Jefferson Starship's popular version of 'Born To Lose'. The camera fades to a shot of an old hippie lightshow, with lasers and stuff that looks like green bubbling KY jelly everywhere and then fades on out to black.

As the next scene gets under way you see Rush in the 'Magic Bus', pulling over to pick up a man wearing what looks like a mini skirt and a pair of go go boots and standing beside a Golden Charriot with a flat tire. The man by the road is hitching a ride and as the camera zooms in for a close-up, it's Charlton Hesston wearing a tie dyed roman toga, with a pair of cammo. colored gear jammer boots and carrying a chrome m-60 machine gun with pearl handles locked and loaded, with a full belt.

Charlie throws the m-60 up on top of the bus, to and a filthy, stinky, hippy that they call W, whose riding on top and wearing a greasy Texas National guard jacket and no pants at all. W shouts "FAR OUT MAN"... Lets Rock And Roll!" And then W jacks a shiny new 7.62 round into the chamber of the custom built M-60 and fires off 13 rounds at a fat pregnant frog sitting by the side of the road. The mamma frog does the hot lead hop, while W smirks and laughs like a mad man, and everyone in the bus yells out, "FAR OUT MAN, look at those bitchin' tracers."

Charlie Hesston gets in the back seat and as they pull out and head down the coast he introduces himself, to the funky burnt out freaks in the van. "Hi..My Name's Charlie Manson," he yells over the noise of the cranked up, tinny sounding, crazy, hopped up version, of the Beverly Hillbillies theme song, loaded with grungy fuzz and way too much wah-wah and echo.

The Camera pulls back again and as it does you see a striking panorama of tin can beach, lit up with the last flickering rays of the fast sinking sun, reflecting off of the spit shined chrome gadgetry, on a big row of shiny Harley choppers, shining brightly in the last tiny bit of west coast twilight. Scene fades to black, as the ass-kicking Bluegrass version of Purple Haze fades out with the camera...
