Let's get psyched: Desert Bus: The (frankly terrible) Movie

[Geoff_B]

Ooooh I see... in that case how about Tim as the spy?

[EnglishMQ]

I think the film needs to be set in America, with an American cast, though shot in Canada just cause.

[Ahlir]

Ooooh I see... in that case how about Tim as the spy?

But we have already decided Matt and Tim are the same person. How would that work?? It will start getting into strange mind games.

[Duckay]

Why not Morgan as the spy? Going on the logic of the last person you would ever reasonably suspect to be the spy.

[LogicSword]

Gibb HAS to be played by Bill Bailey.

[Fezzul]

Guys, guys, guys... I think we're avoiding the big issue here.

How much 3D do we shoot it in?

Cause I'm thinking lots.

And we should release the movie on 3DS, BEFORE we release it in cinemas!

[JackSlack]

3D costs money. I'm thinkin' straight to DVD.

[LogicSword]

DVDs cost money. I'm thinkin' straight to VHS.

[Duckay]

I'm torn; gratuitous 3D would be fantastic, but a direct to DVD release matches the low-budget idea.

[JackSlack]

Straight to DVD, using red and blue glasses 3D?

[MotorWaffle]

I'm thinking Tim should just be a Tyler Durden like hallucination of Matt's, or vice-versa. And I think that the better question is what SHOULDN'T be shot in 3D.
The bigger questin, as far as I can tell, is what to do about Gibb. I assume in keeping with the terrible nature of this movie he will be entirely be bad CGI.

[Geoff_B]

... or maybe a sock puppet with a hand up his bottom? in keeping with the low-budget nature and everything?

[Ahlir]

It's only logical

[Duckay]

Gibb?

(Edited for new link.)

[Geoff_B]

pic no worky

[Duckay]

I don't know what you're talking about. It looks fine.

(Cough. Edited. Fixed.)

[Metcarfre]

No, guys, you have it all wrong. Clearly Matt and Tim are separate characters... played by the same actor. Possibly not even established as twins or clones.

[Fezzul]

Shawn and Allen Ashmore for Tim and Matt

[Metcarfre]

First of all, Aaron Ashmore. Second of all, no. Same actor, both parts.

[EnglishMQ]

Or maybe two actors who randomly swap roles between scenes for no explained or consistent reason?

[LogicSword]

No, just one actor, but when they're playing one of them they wear a hat.

[the amativeness]

No, just one actor, but when they're playing one of them they wear a hat, and the other swears a lot.

[Duckay]

Matt and Tim are both played by Aaron Ashmore. You can tell he's Tim, because he's wearing a hat.

But for some reason, although their personalities are more or less right, Tim used to live with Graham, and Matt has Stockholm Syndrome.

[JackSlack]

OK. So, I think we should work to make two things.

1. Not a poster, but a DVD cover. Since we've established it's straight to DVD.
2. A review panning the film from the perspective of someone who knows nothing about LRR or Desert Bus. This is key. It needs to be bad on its own merits as well, and the review should possibly even praise a few absolutely freaking awful decisions.

Who wants to do what?

[Fezzul]

Wow, Ashmore fail... first time that's happened since 2001.

I want to operate the boom... except I'll never show up and I'll always demand overtime.
