Near Lurker:
Hmm.  Run-through.

-Marten's everyday life - cameos by Scott and Jimbo.
-Faye moves in.
-Dora and Coffee of Doom are introduced, Raven makes a cameo.  (No Sarah.)
-The dildo scene.  (Without the changing, so Dora needs a new excuse.)

-This night is where Jimbo changes careers.
-Amanda visits.
-Steve meets Ellen.

There.  Appropriate pacing, not too much lost in translation, and it clocks in at just under four hours.

Of course, the dialogue would have to be completely rewritten to flow better in real-time and to pin down the music jokes to whennever the film were released, as opposed to "the floating now."

JReynolds:
Just under four hours?

Sounds like they should do it like they did Lord of the Rings: make three movies at once & release them at yearly intervals. All we need is to get Peter Jackson or Guillermo del Toro to direct it (once whoever it is finishes The Hobbit & The Hobbit Sequel)

Unless after every joke you had that "ba-dum-bum-CHSS!" drum sound to indicate a joke just happened. then it would work.
But I would rather see a S*P movie just so see the reaction of the audience when they get slapped in the ass by an abortion joke the first five minutes in.

I moved this over here so you guys can chew on it. This is a response to a list Jeph made on the Ask Jeph thread:

--- Quote from: raoullefere on 20 Jun 2008, 18:31 ---Danny DeVito as Marten—Yes! DeVito can do harmless like nobody's business.
Mike Meyers as Faye—I dunno about this one; I really think Adam Sandler does angry better.
Eddie Murphy as Dora—No, no no. You mean Kevin Nealon.
Salma Hayek as Pintsize—I can take or leave this. I really picture Steven Colbert here. Or maybe Eddie Murphy if he's pissed about losing the Dora role.
Anthony Hopkins as Winslow—Again, a bit of a miscast. Steve Carell, man.
Tom Selleck as Hannelore—Oh, yeah! (Or maybe anyone who can do a good late-in-life Howard Hughes impression. Very similar characters except for the naked part. Maybe Hanners could develop a nudism fixation?)

And there we have it—the Womanless Wedding-style dream cast for Questionable Content: The Adventure Sputters. Clearly Jeph grew up in the same sort of twisted culture I did, wherein people actually thought a good Womanless Wedding was about as satisfying as entertainment could get.

--- End quote ---

I realize the title sucks; hell, the concept sucks. And yet…

Anyway, it's here in a better home so you folks can pick on it. At least my cast doesn't have Alley Sheedy in it. But it does have Nealon, so that's scant progress. On the other hand,  screw Colbert; Seth Green as Pintsize is pure genius.

Border Reiver:
Instead of any of the selections for Pintsize - I'd like to hear either Lorne Greene, or perhaps James Earl Jones - picture those deep tones coming out of the little terrorist.
