I don't get it. I really don't get any of it. But I've been talking to Mel Brooks and Jack Nicholson, and we want to collaborate and produce & direct the movie version! (no, that GfS guy can't write the screenplay! He's much too organized))
   How could it fail with writers like these and our conceptual skills? We envision something like "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" done in the style of "Silent Movie", but with a setting like "Platoon". All... Most of the 'dialogue' would be held up (in view of the cameras) on cue cards, and characters would read the cards closest to them.

Now- off to sell this to MGM!

(Oh... need suggestions for actors!)
