Just remember, Biff, that I own David Cronenberg as one of my 50 Team Directors. So, while this pick is fair game, I also own Brundlefly. I want you to know this. You can't escape me.
Also, Cronenberg is coming out with a new body horror movie called Crimes of the Future with Viggo.

My screenwriter is directly responsible for five screenplays, three of which are the AWESOME "Double Indemnity," "The Blue Dahlia," and "Strangers on a Train." Those are amazing scripts, but his influence on Hollywood, and especially on Film Noir, is entirely immeasurably massive. He helped to invent hard-boiled crime fiction with his eight novels:
"The Big Sleep"
"Farewell, My Lovely"
"The High Window"
"The Lady in the Lake"
"The Little Sister"
"The Long Goodbye"
"Playback"
He was hugely influenced by [REDACTED], but he brought such a high level of literary integrity to his work that he arguably outshone his predecessor. When you think about the scripts he wrote, and the scripts that came out of his novels, it's hard to think of anyone better, especially when the options for this have been cannibalized by our director selections.
Team Screenwriter - Raymond Chandler

The Flaming Zeppelins already have screenwriter covered with our Team Director(s), the Coen Brothers, but we appreciate the chance to add more talent here.
Team Screenwriter: Charlie Kaufman
Who better to capture the surreal absurdity and general sense of dread of the F'ing Zeps than the man responsible for this scene:
I doubt any screenwriter has ever had more fun writing any another scene.
As you can see, Charlie has wrestled with life's biggest questions, such as what happens when a man enters his own portal, and what do you do when you're tasked to adapt an unadaptable book about orchids?
Answer: You write a script about writing the script for the unadaptable book, add in a fictional twin brother / alter ego, and then punch up the drama by inventing a Hollywood plot about the book's author having an adulterous affair with the subject of her book, replete with pornography, drug use, a car chase, attempted murder, and alligator ex machina.
He also wrote Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which is still one of the great films of this century so far. It's full of lots of great inventive writing, but this scene of a literally disintegrating final memory of a probably inherently doomed relationship is just haunting stuff.
Can't wait to see what he's able to come up with when we go to make the movie on the origins of our franchise.

All of you married motherf***ers have to do stuff today hahaha. Have fun in nature, and watch out for the snakes!
We start Mother's Day with Hawaiian motherf***er @Magua on the clock, Virginian motherf***er @Hurricane28 on deck, Pennsylvanian Amish motherf***er @Striiker on the lido deck, and Seattleite satellite motherf***er CanadianFlyer88 orbiting around the drain at the bottom of the order with two picks to pick.
Last night I watched another one from that motherf***er I mentioned yesterday, Ryoo Seung-wan, this one called "Escape From Mogadishu." It's from last year, so it is especially fresh. It's about the motherf***ers in the South Korean embassy and the motherf***ers in the North Korean embassy in the titular (phrasing) Somalian capital in 1990. I don't know if you have heard, but that place is a shithole - those motherf***ers are crazy, for one thing. Much more importantly, there are about a hundred trillion billion of the world's worst snakes, the motherf***ers, including the black mamba, that motherf***er. Right after I finished the movie I Googled "venomous snakes of Somalia" and read through the list. I always do this, but I have rarely seen worse results. It included at least three different species of spitting cobras, those motherf***ers. Ugh. I don't know how, but I escaped a night full of snake nightmares. I'm sure they will make up for it soon.
Anyway, the movie didn't show any snakes on screen. It was about the rebels attacking the government forces and damn near every other motherf***er in sight. The Koreans from both sides of their own border see Africa as a crucial battleground politically, the South Koreans because it held the key to acceptance into the United Nations (after terribly shitty behavior of their own for decades), and the North Koreans because they are commie motherf***ers, innit. They have to set aside their differences and work together to find a way to escape the country as the bullets fly and it burns to the ground. It is a really well-made film, as you'd expect from my man Seung-wan. There is a really exciting "car chase" (kind of) in the climax (phrasing), and throughout there is a very intensely palpable sense of danger. Pretty highly recommended.
Anyway, let's get through this holiday and get back to the motherf***ing normality of picking.

Just out of curiosity, even though I assume I know the answer... a remix of a song would not be considered a "cover", right?
