I don't have a lot of time to post today, but rather than leave you hanging, I thought I'd quickly share with you one of the things that's been on my mind recently.

They don't make movies like they used to, and I think that's a shame. Specifically, I'm talking about The Cannonball Run. Not long ago I recommended an ignorant friend rent this classic. He did and, as I predicted, was delighted. We were inspired to conversation, as friends sometimes are.

We agreed that the days of eschewing a script in favor of producing a movie by assembling a cast of stars and a lot of booze have passed, but that they should be revived. We further agreed that remaking The Cannonball Run would be a fine way to initiate that revival.

So he and I have been discussing the cast, and below is what we have so far.

Vince Vaughn in the Dean Martin role, and Chris Tucker in the Sammy Davis role. George Clooney in the Reynolds role opposite Jack Black in the Dom DeLuise role.

It's genius, I know. If you have thoughts, feel free to shove them up your ass or put them in the comments.
