: Seriously, if Kevin's reading this, I have a good idea that I'd like to share. It's called SPACE MONKEYS. I can't tell you what it's about, but I can say it involves monkeys, but in space of some kind. I have a logo of a monkey head (representing "monkeys") in front of a graphic of the planet saturn (representing "space"). I think Kevin is a master of taking dialog and absurd situations and making a kick ass flick, so it would be a match made in heaven.
: What do you guys think?
I dig monkeys, Hell I love em.(not that way...) I really want to see this graphic you speak of, but I'll respect sneaky non-disclosure tactics if you can't tell.
My first thought on the idea is, who are the villians? I like the idea of two groups of "space monkeys" one good, one bad, battling it out, space race style. The good ones have impecable hair and the bad ones all have piercings up the wazzoo. I can see two factions of Monkeys, fighting slap-stick, fixing the warp-drive, and getting loaded at crucial moments so vividly in my head right now. This idea made my day. However the thought of a race of aliens isn't so apealing to me. The silly masks in Star Trek are unecessary. The entire universe of aliens could be humanoid and still successful cause the writing was good. Note, I said "was" you geeks.
Second, the monkeys, are they actual monkeys, CGI or Roddy McDowell, Planet of the Apes, man is a decent suit? I'm all for real monkeys but the timing of reactions and body language, that my head has created a vision of, would be tough with the real deal. Although I just can't see it without knuckles dragging up the escape pod stairs. Damn my over active noodle.
Now, the ship. Shit, who cares. It could be a flying tube sock and still kick ass cause the hyjinks happen on the inside.
OK, That's it. You did ask after all.
back to work for me.
