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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: katlaughing Date: 07 Jan 00 - 01:13 PM So soph gets Harvey all to herself??!!!*bg* |
|
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: 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: Lenny Date: 06 Jan 00 - 10:54 PM Peter T. if your not a professional writer, you should be! Are you by any chance? Len Evans |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: thosp Date: 06 Jan 00 - 10:42 PM BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! AUTHOR! AUTHOR!!! (i've got tears rolling down) peace (Y) thosp |

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: 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: Susan A-R Date: 06 Jan 00 - 10:19 PM My oh my. That was a good 'un Peter. Thanks. Susan A-R |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: ddw Date: 06 Jan 00 - 10:13 PM I didn't get caught in the first raid, but I'd love to be there if they come around again. Think about it — no work, food, shelter and all those musicians around? That's not jail, that's heaven! Great job, Peter. david |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Max Date: 06 Jan 00 - 09:18 PM Its an M film. Anyway, any scene with Meg would do... |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Little Neophyte Date: 06 Jan 00 - 09:03 PM Max I think Peter is looking for a quality production directed with knowledge and experience. Kinky sounds like some kind of B film to me. |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 06 Jan 00 - 08:53 PM I've got an Italian Eko guitar - doesn't sound too good, but I'll look at it with renewed interest after Rick's revelation about Elke Sommer's revelation.
Could we use it in the film? I could bring it along for the auditions maybe? |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Max Date: 06 Jan 00 - 08:36 PM Banjo Bonnie: That sure is fine with me, especially if you're kinky. But then again, I guess it's only BASED on a true story. I gotta talk to the writer then...
Peter, can we talk? |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: momnopp Date: 06 Jan 00 - 08:14 PM FABULOUS!! I loved every line. My son kept asking what the heck I was laughing about. . . Cheers, JudyO |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: InOBU Date: 06 Jan 00 - 08:04 PM Being that we are all bughouse, we on the inside will bake a cake with all of us in it, to be sent to anyone on the outside... that is if there are any mudcatters on the outside... it is more fun in the cake! Larry |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: sophocleese Date: 06 Jan 00 - 07:54 PM TerriM, great idea with the saw except they'd likely play it instead of sawing with it. Then they'd put the cake crumbs in a tin and shake that. |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Little Neophyte Date: 06 Jan 00 - 07:12 PM Micca, I definately approve of my casting. Max, would you mind if I directed that scene? I would like to make sure it is authentic and all. BB |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 06 Jan 00 - 07:06 PM "No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned.....A man in jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company" Samuel Johnson 1759. Close the door on yer way out mates! the cable TV is great and we get steak tonight.No call outs and no work aloft, just leave me be I'll be allright here.Hell they can't even flog me in here. Yours, Aye. Dave |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: TerriM Date: 06 Jan 00 - 06:46 PM I could bake a cake with a file in it guys, for when you get bored or sung out and want to go home; of course, the cake is more likely to be of use sawing through the bars than the file; just for heaven sake don't forget NOT to eat it! |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Max Date: 06 Jan 00 - 06:42 PM Can my character have a love scene with Meg Ryan? Remeber, I insist on playing myself... unless one of the other characters gets a love scene with Meg Ryan, then I want to play them. |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: JenEllen Date: 06 Jan 00 - 06:39 PM Actually, it's the only thing they'll play on the flight to the Neil Young Center. They Clockwork Orange you into watching it...it's not pretty. |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: lamarca Date: 06 Jan 00 - 06:26 PM Mr. Timmerman's early 21st century (or late 20th century) opus, "Waiting for Mudcat" firmly established his theater credentials among the cognoscenti. The characterizations of Everyman and Everywoman as denizens of an archetypal virtual reality whose eschatological worth is not recognized by the haute bourgeouisie is delicately played out in short, terse segments of dialog. The instantaneous evaluation of psychorelational dysfunction in the denizens of this community by the increasingly distraught "Official" is reminiscent of early Cleese or Gilliam in its evocation of laughter through the juxtaposition of absurdist statements like "...but anyway, we offer all sorts of refreshments and entertainment, we have special theme nights, a jello wrestling pool, a velcro wall of death, the usual." and "Well, everyone to their taste., as if taste had anything to do with the aforementioned Tavern; or "Are you trying to tell me that you were watching Elke Sommer in the nude, and all you can remember is the guitar she was wearing????" and "Well, yes, of course.". All in all, a fine effort, sure to make the Millennium's Best list in the Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed...
Bravo, Peter! |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Mbo Date: 06 Jan 00 - 06:26 PM Might I start a thread creep, regarding who you want to play yourself in the classic movie "The Day They Came For Mudcat"? Or is that too BS-y? Just wondering...don't want to offend... --Mbo |

|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Willie-O Date: 06 Jan 00 - 04:09 PM I'd be rollin on the f***ing floor if I was a bit less dignified....where would they put all these miscreants...some long-dormant largish rural structure...I suggest the McDonalds Corners Agricultural Hall though additional security will be needed to keep out all the others that will constantly trying to break into the new Neil Young Detention Centre for the Delusionally UnEntrepeneurial....

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Micca Date: 06 Jan 00 - 01:33 PM Peter, Bravo and other extravagant praises, This is what I love here, You open a perfectly? normal? thread and find that i nearly wet meslf at the confuser keyboard as I read. But now the important question , when it is filmed by Hollywood who will they cast as the Mudcatters? any suggestions( living or dead) of who you would cast, remember there will not be anyone ordinary looking like us, but only "beautiful people" my first thoughts Aine= Meryl Streep (NOI) BanjoBonnie= Meg Ryan (definitely NOI) Katlaughing= Kathleen Turner(Tongue so far in cheek its coming out my ear) Rick Fielding= James Stewart |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 06 Jan 00 - 12:27 PM Two observations: 1. We'd all have the time of our lives. 2. Except for Gargoyle who'd be too crazy not to act sane when the butterfly nets came for him, and after a few days he'd miss the B.S. so much that he'd climb the wall to get in...only to be thrown out by the guards, who would recognize that anyone wanting to get in must be sane, since, afterall it was the very best place on earth...and Kat would organize a healing circle for him and even the guards and their union president would join in and all the good vibes (along with the good flugelhorns and kalimbas and ektars) would cure him and he, too, would live happily ever after (and be absolutely miserable when he thought about it). --seed |

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Mbo Date: 06 Jan 00 - 12:19 PM Oh my goodness, Peter, this is amazing! A great piece of literature! Hilarious! And I was in it! I can't wait for more! --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Bill D Date: 06 Jan 00 - 11:43 AM ....sounds like a great plot to me! First they drag us all away to the asylum, put us behind a BIG fence, and then the real party begins! In a short time the old saw about the inmates running the asylum will seem prescient,,,*giggle*...Max will offer to 'help' with the computer system, Mick will organize the guards, Alison will charm them, catspaw & I will befuddle them with philosophical obfuscations, etc., etc...(add your own delegated duties)...and soon WE will control who goes out with the nets!

Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: Max Date: 06 Jan 00 - 11:42 AM Love it, though I though my character could have had a bit more depth. Can I play myself when it hits the big screen? |
|
Subject: RE: THE DAY THEY CAME FOR MUDCAT From: catspaw49 Date: 06 Jan 00 - 11:41 AM My friend...I don't know what to say. Cleigh and I both are rolling in laughter. Beautiful job...and timely. Spaw |
