Tales of brave [11:29 PM]: i mean, i have liked things they have put out since then, but not all the way through. even experimental i didn't like all the way through like i do the early albums. actually, that's true for dirty as well.

i have a story to tell you.

Tales of brave [11:29 PM]: it's called "The Pee That Would Not Come"

Clever AIM User [11:29 PM]: Does it star Tim Curry?

Clever AIM User [11:30 PM]: if not, it should.

Tales of brave [11:30 PM]: it's a story about a girl who goes to a clinic to pee in a cup for a pre-employment drug screen, starring tim curry as The Cup.

Tales of brave [11:31 PM]: suddenly, due to some sudden political activism on the part of Her Bladder (played by Freddie Prinz Jr), the pee stood up for the rights of normal citizens everywhere who, it believed, should have the common courtesy of privacy from their employers

Clever AIM User [11:32 PM]: Wow, sounds great. Oscar worthy. Didn't Elliot Smith do the score?

Tales of brave [11:33 PM]: No, the score was done by lou reed.

anyway, the pee, it would not come. The Girl, played by me, had to sit in the clinic for 2.5 hours while drinking water and reading about martha stewart in newsweek magazine (played by Rod Steiger).

Tales of brave [11:34 PM]: finally, at the last possible moment, everything got resolved.

but not after considerable stress and misery.

i can assure you.

Tales of brave [11:35 PM]: it's gotten optioned by miramax and should go into pre-production early 2003.

i'm pretty pumped.

Clever AIM User [11:36 PM]: Who's directing? Any offers yet?

Tales of brave [11:37 PM]: i'm hoping for jim varney, but may have to settle for fincher.

Clever AIM User [11:38 PM]: Do you think it'll go over well though? I mean, it's obviously Oscar worthy, but do you think the film's lack of immediacy might erm hurt its chances at the box office and perhaps even spook off movie-goers who might see it as too art house or avant-garde?

Tales of brave [11:40 PM]: could be, considering the amount of urine in the film. kind of like "Piss Christ," you know?

but i am looking to get Flo from Alice to play the surly nurse who Doesn't Have Time for this Shit.

Tales of brave [11:40 PM]: that should pull an audience

Tales of brave [11:40 PM]: besides, the amount of urine is really just suggested, until the final scene.

Tales of brave [11:41 PM]: when we get the big Reveal

Tales of brave [11:41 PM]: where we find out that though we thought it was The Bladder that was pulling the strings, it was really The Girl--see, they're actually the SAME PERSON

Tales of brave [11:41 PM]: man, that is going to blow people A-WAY!

Clever AIM User [11:42 PM]: Are there any meerkats being felched in the film or dry humping? You gotta have that these days...for the kids.

Tales of brave [11:43 PM]: well, The Girl does dry hump the porcelain sink, but i was saving that for the Deleted Scenes portion of the DVD.
