simon's post from a few days' ago has stayed with me, resonating around the gloopy corridors of my brain. he speaks for me too, and i will vote for him in the coming election.
and this about grease:
That bit at the end where they leave school and it is full of hope for their futures. And yet you know if you could roll forward twenty-odd years you would see that they had all become overweight no-hope wage-slavers. Sad. And dark.
it struck me, what a fantastic movie that would make. if you've got to make sequels, and yes, hollywood got to, then why not make one like this? i'd love to see olivia newton-john as a crack whore, turning tricks for crusts. and that bloke out of taxi, he could be an internet paedo. or something. if someone wants to write a treatment i'll give them 40% of the deal.
but then, some smart-arse is now going to tell me that they've done something similar before. there's something on the tip of my brain, actually, but i can't get to it.

no, i'm not thinking of that. i was thinking of grease with the same characters, thirty years' later, all miserable and fucked-up. unrelentingly dark. they'd find themselves in America of the 80s, wouldn't they.
