: : I posted this elsewhere on the board as a continuance of a post about my movie ideas, but it's been largely ignored there, so I thought I'd post it here to. I'd only do this after I had a few movies under my belt. My sicom idea, it's about the second coming of Christ. Jesus comes back to earth, and moves into a studio apartment in Chicago with a goth chick roomate and a wacky neighbor. I see Andy Dick as Jesus, Judy Greer as the goth chick and Jeremy Piven as the wacky neigbor. I would also have Dave Chapelle as a neighbor. For a guest starring role as god, I'd cast Ed O'Niel, of course. The ideas I've come up with so far? I've got a whole 14 so far. Here they are.
