    okay, but here are my official hollywood big shot notes:

    1) what hair will Nic Cage go with!?

    2) they contact the ailiens by breaking in to the closed down launch site and using the machine from Contact!

    3) they DO get word to the president that there's all these thingies flying at earth! and so he cowboys up and leads the F-15's HIMSELF! and they start shooting at the monoliths! BUT-- they run. out. of. missiles! and just as Randy Quaid is about to fly his airplane into the biggest monolith--

    4) Jeff Goldblum, a government advisor, and SCIENTIST- whos been against the attack from the start, and pacing around the radar room all this time, grabs the radio from Helmsley and shouts out stuff about how maybe they're here to help, because it's all about chaos theory...or whatever... so they break off the attack.

    5) when old Shia is putzing around, confessing his love for Nic Cage (this is the documentery part of the film, we'll use shakey cam, people like that!) and swearing to continue his father's work with communicating with extra terrestrials, BOOM! Optimus Prime explodes from the earth's core, where he's been burried for a million zillion years! and he decides to use the Spark of Imagineering to bring back Nic Cage-- in the form of MoCap Tom Hanks! who proceeds to address the camera and convince the audience that Santa does exist, through a fun little song and dance number. possibly involving a train, and some kidnapped children (also played by Hanks).

    BEST. MOVIE. EVER. #2012

    That sounds brilliant Graeme, but I do have one question; would any of that have made a lick of sense if I had seen "2012?" #2012

    Any movie where Cage dies is good enough for me. Any alternate reality where he was never an actor to begin with is even better. #2012

    @Im_your_Huckleberry: The sad part is, Cage used to be a really great actor. Raising Arizona, Wild at Heart, Honeymoon in Vegas, Red Rock West. Since then, there's been a lot more bad than good. I liked him in Matchstick Men, Adaptation and The Rock. But there's been a whole lot o' crap. #2012

    @Dr Emilio Lizardo: Good points. His earlier stuff was good, Moonstruck, Rumblefish, Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas. Hell, I even liked him in Peggy Sue Got Married. But, sometime along the way, he fell prey to the Marlon Brando syndrome and started mailing in his roles. You're right though. There has been a lot of crap. #2012

    what's amazing about this article is that you seem to have found the exact combination of elements that will trigger in me a Postal Worker Style Killing Spree(tm).
    well done.
