Dear Movies,

Can we please get an auteur to resurrect Michael Keaton's career? Where Jim Jarmusch at?!

Im The Guy Who Does His Job. You Must Be The Other Guy

Dear Movies,
Not sure if you watch that much TV but maybe youve noticed this little gem. His name is John Munch and he's a character played by Richard Belzer on MULTIPLE TV SHOWS! Thats right, Richard Belzer, no matter what drama, or on what network, always plays the same cop named John Munch. Not just in name but actually the same person from TV land. Munch is from Baltimore and was on Homicide: Life on the Street, but later retired and moved to New York and became a Sgt. on Law and Order. But hes also made cameos on Arrested Development, The Wire, and The X-Files.
Point is, I want to this happen more, with other actors and actresses. For instance, Mark Whalberg. He was great in Boogie Nights and I Heart Huckabees, but simply put, he killed it as Dignam in The Departed. So from now on, I want him to be that character is every other movie he plays. What do you think? "Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe go fuck yourself."


“I’m gonna go have a smoke right now. You want a smoke? You don’t smoke, do ya, right? What are ya, one of those fitness freaks, huh? Go fuck yourself.”

The Phantom Gourmet

Dear Movies,
Greenlight "The Haunted Entree" by James Beard. I will play myself. Its a redemption story about a hard working young man who works at a restaurant that has seen better days. The owner/head chef are close to foreclosing on the bistro when to make matters worse, he only has two employees and one of them suffers a tragic accident on the job and dies. Then this man comes back to haunt the place out of existence. But the ghost worker loves the female waitress that is still working there and she convinces him to help save the place instead. They rename the shop The Haunted Entree and tell everyone its haunted by the ghost of famous American chef James Beard but its actually just me bussing dishes invisibly now. But the people dont know that and the place becomes the hippest joint in town overnight. The End.
Terry O'Quinn will play the owner/head chef cause he needs to be in everything and Sydney Pottier will play the waitress cause I really want my CGI ghost to make out with her.

Order's up,
James

Private Screening

Dear Movies,
Sorry to hear no one else has been writing to you. Im not sure where everyone went. Did my friends die in a dream while still under sedation and are stuck in the limbo of their minds? Hope not. Im glad youre giving me all this attention, but Im willing to share. Oh well, I took myself on a movie date today. First time Id been to a movie alone in a while. I forgot how much I enjoy it. Especially with some movies where I dont want to talk to anyone for at least 30 min after I get out of the theater so I can gather my thoughts and just let the film sink in. In fact, I took the whole day to do that. Just sitting around reading online by myself with very little human interaction. It was a good day off. Now I sleep, perchance to dream?
