Letters to Hollywood.

Just Tell Him I Whispered Sweet Nothings Into Your Ear


After Clinton and the great depression caused by the United States of Europe (masterminded by the evil French), America was in rapid decline, borrowing money from Mexico and Colombia. The solution, as so often happened, came from Hollywood. Actor-director and film mogul Taran Tula became president. The nation's capitol was moved to tinsel town. The people had long ago lost their faith in politicians and religion but never in Hollywood. As in previous depressions, the movies always kept them going. Turning cinemas into Temples of Escapism from their misery was an easy and obvious step. And at the heart of every great American movie is the car chase and the gunfight. Taking the religion onto the streets, giving us the Death Race was the logical conclusion. People wanted to live Hollywood lives. Fantasy lives. (Tula) distilled from pictures the true soul of America. -Death Race 2020 #4

Dear Movies [a good friend of mine],
We didnt have this blog in April, but the 27th of that month was the 35 year anniversary of one of the best movies ever made; Death Race 2000. There are 8 issues of the comic book sequels and I want to see each one made by a succession of directors who are good at shooting car scenes but who are also the right kind of weird; Quentin Tarantino, Michael Bay, Rob Cohen, Paul Greengrass, Robert Rodriguez, James Cameron, Sam Raimi, and Spike Jonze. Check out the wikipedia page for descriptions of those stories.
Lets make this happen!

James
