Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: JenEllen Date: 06 Jan 00 - 10:30 PM Okay, if Max gets a love scene with Meg, and I have to be trapped in a cell, I want Liam Neeson. "That's it Rob Roy darlin', WHO'S your Jedi Master!" |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: sophocleese Date: 06 Jan 00 - 10:34 PM Well I don't know what bit part I'd be playing, fence post or ceiling fan but I do know I want to share the scene with Harvey. Ahhh! |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Peter T. Date: 07 Jan 00 - 12:57 PM The Hollywood joke is that the starlet was so stupid she slept with the writer. I have no casting power, though I am willing to expand anyone's part for a consideration. The current music background is the theme from 8 1/2.... / yours, Peter T. (P.S. Lenny, nope, though I do publish a lot of academic goop.) |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Jeri Date: 07 Jan 00 - 01:05 PM OK, lemme get this straight...Max has got a love scene with Meg Ryan who will be playing Banjo Bonnie, and JenEllen's character will be trapped in a cell with Liam Neeson, who is playing...er, who cares. I would like to audition for the part of JenEllen. (Several times, I probably wouldn't get the part, but oh! the auditions!) Peter T - I absolutely love it! |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Micca Date: 07 Jan 00 - 01:20 PM I think us UK 'Catters (since we have not been picked up by the Fuzz. a tricky operation at the best of times) will have to start a Free the Mudcat 200 (or is it the Indianapolis 500) and agitate for the rights of 'possum blowers, Maybe a rally in Hyde Park and a march to the American Embassy in Grosvenor Square, it would then get some British actors cast in the Movie.Maybe Lanfair=Catherine Zeta Jones McGrath of Harlow= Richard Harris |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: annamill Date: 07 Jan 00 - 01:33 PM I want Pamela Lee Anderson to play annap! and Glenn to play Glenn.. He'd love it. HAHAHAHA! Peter. I love you more each day. Love, annap |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Dani Date: 07 Jan 00 - 02:10 PM Well DONE, Peter. I can SEE Mick leaning back over his shoulder with a big leering wink in the van scene. The script is rich with possibility. My dad's got a garage, let's put on a show! I saw a standup comedian the other night, can't remember his name, who said, "I wrote a screenplay, and the producer said it was OK, but I should rewrite it. F*** that, I'm just going to make a copy of it!" Dani |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: MMario Date: 07 Jan 00 - 02:18 PM Is this a documentary or a fantasy? If the former I am afraid I would need to be played by John Goodman, but if the latter then Liam Neesan can play me. MMario |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Lonesome EJ Date: 07 Jan 00 - 02:29 PM Peter... I would like to, well round out my character a bit more. I just don't seem him speaking so matter-of-factly about a place like the Tavern. A slight rewrite (with your permission) might go something like... enter LEJ stage right, wearing a tuxedo, his eyes care-worn but kind.
LEJ: I need a drink. A tall cool one that reminds me of her. Whaddaya think PT? |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Mbo Date: 07 Jan 00 - 03:01 PM Oooh...EJ, I like the Sam Spade theme--that would bd fun to do! Hmmm...who would play me? I think John Rhys-Davies would be cool, but he's a little too heavy and about 40 years too old... --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Peter T. Date: 07 Jan 00 - 03:19 PM Err, LEJ, it doesn't quite, you know, go with the overall thematic arc. It would work reasonably well in a 3 act play (in Act 2 we go back to Paris, we'll always have Paris), but in a one act play, you have to be ruthless about subplots. Just remember that in this version you do have more lines than catspaw, which certainly wouldn't be true in real life... yours, Peter T. |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: JenEllen Date: 07 Jan 00 - 05:52 PM No fear Jeri, I think there's enough of Liam to go 'round! ;) Just lead the poor devil from cell to cell... LeeJ, the Casa'Catta angle is a beaut. Laughing to your music in my head. At least it's no longer the bow-chick-a-bow-bow stuff in my head from being in the cell next to Max's Meg Ryan audition....Elle |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jan 00 - 06:33 PM Can I have a love scene with Sir Sean Connery please? Our chest hair could mingle, and afterwards, we'd eat the cake, providing it was chocolate cake of course.... LTS, drooling at the thought of Sean and Chocolate in the same breath....... shhllllluuuuuurrrrp!!!

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: bbc Date: 07 Jan 00 - 07:16 PM For the sake of accuracy, it should probably be my son, David, who gets dragged away. He's taken many more (& better) pictures than I have. I'm probably just sitting in a corner somewhere, smiling supportively. I like it, Peter! bbc |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: alison Date: 08 Jan 00 - 12:29 AM Here's the cast list from the last time we thought about doing a Mudcat Movie I'm still willing to let my charactor have a fling with Sean Connery, no matter who he's playing...... hahahaha slainte alison |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: TerriM Date: 08 Jan 00 - 12:51 AM < sounds of doleful mouth organ wailing in background, large, sweaty nurse enters but speaks in voice like Kenneth Williams:> "Okay, you lot, stop messing about! You've corrupted all the other inmates, turned every conceivable item on the ward into a musical instrument and drunk all the rubbing alcohol.There's an infuriated mob outside the gate demanding your release, a letter here from several famous actors saying they want no part of it and the Governor's gone on sick leave for the duration.If I hear She Moved thru the Fair one more time I'm gonna scream and, quite frankly people, you're more trouble than you're worth. That's it.... OUT!"

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Escamillo Date: 08 Jan 00 - 02:22 AM Applauses to Peter T ! Bravo, Master. At this time (4:25 AM) the only one intrigued about my laughs is Giménez (our official dog) But please, don't make a movie, let's make AN OPERA! Un abrazo - Andrés |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: JenEllen Date: 08 Jan 00 - 02:29 AM Oh! Opera! We'll have to get some metallic spray paint for the coconut bras, and enough plastic Vikings helments to go around... |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Alice Date: 08 Jan 00 - 10:58 AM I agree with Andrés, this should be an opera. The Drama!!! The Humor!! The Tragedy!!! The Villian!! The Tenor!!! The Soproano... la, la, la, laaaaah... over the top... And alison, thanks for linking to the Mudcat Movie casting thread. I was thinking about it as I read all these messages. -alice |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: catspaw49 Date: 08 Jan 00 - 11:05 AM Actually Alice, Soproano sounds like something you might use to clean your shower, so in your case I find it appropriate.(:<)) Spaw |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Alice Date: 08 Jan 00 - 11:11 AM Yes, Spaw, maybe the annual (ano) cleaning of the shower as in your case? ;-) |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 08 Jan 00 - 10:31 PM As someday it may happen that a victim must be found, I've got a little list I've got a little list; of society offenders who might well be underground; and who never would be missed, who never would be missed. There's the pestilential nuisances who write to Kats that laugh, all jazz players who have flabby hands and irritating laughs. All poster's that are up to late and Offer's playing flat; All people who start blowing possums just to make them fart. and all third persons on spoiling gargoyles tete a tete's insist; they'd none of them be missed they'd none of them be missed.

There's the banjo serenader and the others of his race, and the piano organist,I've got him on the list. and the people who play bohdrans and get very very pissed. They never would be missed they never would be missed. Then the idiot's who play bagpipes with a most annoying drone in Mudcats homes, and each and every country but his own. And the lady from the Mudcats who sings just like a guy. And who doesnt think she'll sound bad so she's going to have a try. And that singular annomaly a lady shanty'ist I don't think she'll be missed, I know she'll not be missed. He's got her on the list, he's got her on the list and I don't think she'll be missed I'm sure she'll not be missed. And that very pious nuisance who's a sailor humourist, I know he'll not be missed I'm sure he'll not be missed, all funny posters danlbears lurking in the list there's none of them be missed there's none of them be missed. and appologetic posters of a most unusual kind. such as what did you call it, giggyist and others of their kind. it really does'nt matter who you put upon the list cause there's none of them be missed there's none of them be missed. Yours, Aye.

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Alice Date: 09 Jan 00 - 10:04 AM Catspaw, I'm checking in to make sure you are all right. The last time I teased you about cleaning the shower you wound up in the hospital. A case of Soproano is virtually on its way to you. Scrub in good health, friend! Meet you at the singalong in the Neil Young Center. -alice |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Liz the Squeak Date: 09 Jan 00 - 12:10 PM As the token fat lady, who can do her own Viking plaits, but is missing one half of the tin bra, you all have to wait until I sing, and as I've had a throat full of razor blades for about a month now, that could take time!!! Dave the Ancient Marinade, keep taking the tablets and see me in a week..... LTS |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Arnie Date: 09 Jan 00 - 01:03 PM Lordy! WOW! This thread absolutely proves beyond any doubt that folkies can really put new technology to good use. |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Liz the Squeak Date: 09 Jan 00 - 01:06 PM Ah yes, but for a lot of us, new technology includes electrickery, the infernal combustion engine and different shoes for left and right feet! LTS, luddite and traditionalist!! |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Dave ( the ancient mariner ) Date: 09 Jan 00 - 01:37 PM Sorry I was making very merry yesterday, and gave you a version of The MUDCAT MIKADO. I really enjoy Comic Opera and it is fairly common in the Royal Navy to have a SODS OPERA night where songs or a play are done by the sailors onboard for entertainment. I just cold not resist the temptation to Mudcatise this song. Peter T work on that Mudcat General it's got potential mate. I find it's hard working from an abused memory (rum and Bushmills), I must look up the words in future. Yours, (hung over and terribly sorry for the poor quality and editing)Aye. Dave A wandering Minstrel AYE a thing of shreds and patches Of ballads songs and snatches, and dreamy lullabies My repatoir is known through all the passions ranging and to your humors changing, I tune my Sarbo song I tune my Sarbo{sp?} song. But if you call for a song of the sea we'll heave the capstan round, with a yo heave ho the wind is free her anchors a'drip and her helms a'lee Hurrah for the homeward bound, Yo Ho Heave Ho Hurrah for the homeward bound. To lay aloft in a howling breeze may tickle a landsmans taste, but the happiest hour a sailor see's is when he's down at an inland town, with JenEllen on his knee's Yo Ho and his arm around her waist........Yours, Aye.Dave |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: JenEllen Date: 09 Jan 00 - 07:19 PM Spend one summer on a troller, and you are a legend in sailors songs, is that it Dave? HA! I could have used your spark on that boat, they couldn't sing for crap. Fond memories of sunburned parts...you can plant your arm around my waist and I'll tell you all about it. I've got some time to kill before I have to go get the vikings helmets....Elle |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: JenEllen Date: 09 Jan 00 - 07:50 PM Bloody Lurking Norsemen are no match for Irish Temper under full sail. I'd like to see them try something, I'm spoiling for a good rumble. ;) Just like anything else, you grab 'em by the horns, you get attention...Shouldn't have to come to that though, a flutter o' the eyelashes and the helmets are mine. Sea story? An entire summer in the Atlantic. From Woods Hole to Destin, Florida. Sun and cold, wind and rain, salt on my skin, and the worst sunburn I ever had in my life. Pale lassie neglected the sunscreen severely. My crewmates were college kids with no clue, spent most of the time hanging over the side feeding the fish what they had eaten for dinner. Cap'n Jake taught me "Stormy Weather" one night while playing cribbage. "She rolls away with a roar and a crack, but there ain't no bargemen up on her deck, Stormy Weather boys, Stormy Weather, When the wind blows, the barge will go...." Elle |

Gave up barging and took a farm did ye lass? smart woman. Same principal but wrong end m'dear it's grab em by the (private parts) (there may be kids and politically correct people reading this so I can't say Balls! Oh Shit!
