i would cast my movie
with community theater actors
a bunch of unknowns
but sincere
in their amateur status
(remember there is love there)
it would be messy and imperfect
just like life
i would want a different director
for each act
would that be three or five?
i don’t know yet
i might be persuaded to let in
a couple of Hollywood actors
but with bit roles
and so much makeup
they would be hardly recognizable
in their cameo status
i would want Harlan Ellison
and Sharon Olds to play themselves
and the guys from Barenaked Ladies
could all be samurai
that might have to be a dream sequence
or a flashback to a previous life
and I definitely want
Michael Giacchino to score it
maybe I should get to work
on the screenplay
