The Greatest Story Ever Told?

After directing the Black Swan, which grossed $315 million worldwide, with a budget of about $12 million, Darren Aronofsky, is interested in making another movie.  And this time around, it's of gigantic proportions.

According to Deadline, he is pushing a script around that is currently being re-written by the guy who wrote Gladiator and The Last Samurai, John Rogan.  It is the story of Noah, and the Ark he built to save the world.  If you're not familiar with the story of Noah, you should definitely go back to church.  Just sayin'.  

Actually, it's the story of  a man who God called upon to build a boat big enough to hold 2 of each species of animal, and every human being who will take into account what Noah has to say - that God is going to cause a horrendous rainstorm, and they are all going to die. Of course, God knows there's no one in the world who will believe him, because at the time the whole world had gone to shit.  And sure enough, he destroyed the world by having it rain for 40 days and 40 nights.  What happened to all those bastards who didn't believe, even the mothers and children?  Well, they drowned.

Aronofsky's only issue is, the ark was a beast - it was huge.  He's asking for $130 million to make it.  Which you know will turn out to be $230 million by the time it's completed  Several studios have already had their eye on it; Now we wait, and see who caves in, or be damned in hell for eternity for not taking part.

No one has ever tried telling the story of Noah the way Aronofsky intends, so I'm kinda curious to see what transpires.  Growing up Christian, this was one of the stories that fascinated me the most.  Let's just hope we're around by the time their done building the Ark. :-)

Was Tonight's Episode of Glee Written by Our Friend, Guillermo?

Okay, let me hear it - I was right.  It was the damn stupid bird that died in the episode of Glee tonight.  Ugh. couldn't it have been Kurt?

I have no earthly idea, but I could have sworn our friend Guillermo wrote the script for tonight's episode, or at least the last five minutes of the show when the Judges are about to vote on a new champion.  I spent a good deal of time pausing our DVR just to get at this wonderful script.  Thanks Guillermo :-)

Of course, as I mentioned earlier, Kathy Griffin portrays a Twitterer and former Tea Party Candidate as Tammy Jean Albertson, Loretta Devine portrays a Nun and former exotic dancer as Sister Mary Constance and finally the return of the local celebrity, Rod Remington, a Gadabout.

I must say, I really love Loretta Devine, she was downright hilarious.

Until the video surfaces on You Tube, here is the funny script...

Tammy Jean Albertson - Before we start, I would like to say, "I am not a witch."  But, um, i think it's fair to ask, do we have written proof that these kids were born in the United States of America?

Sister Mary Constance - For a Nun, I'm pretty liberal... but I'm barely a Nun.  In fact I just joined because I needed a place to live.

Tammy Jean Albertson - Bless you.

Sister Mary Constance - The convent is the one place I knew I could stay off the pole.  But my question is this... That Dalton Academy is it a gay school, or is it just a school that appears gay?

Rod Remington walks into the room and chimes in with some nonsense about his hairdresser and the hairdresser's boyfriend who's also a hairdresser. LOL  He feels that "the gays" should be allowed to marry, and Sister Mary Constance continues...

Sister Mary Constance - I like the duet the boys from Dalton sang.

Tammy Jean Albertson - Oh boys, shouldn't do a duet; The last thing we need to do is send a message to children, that "gay is okay." It is not a legitimate lifestyle,and last time I checked it's not in the constitutition.

Rod Remington - What about that song about Jesus?

Tammy Jean Albertson - Well that should win.

Sister Mary Constance - uh, uh, uh, no, no, no, that is just cheap pandering, I didn't even like to be pandered to when I was a stripper.

Rod Remington - Those New Directions had it going on. Those songs were fresh.

Tammy Jean Albertson - Those songs were terrible I am sorry, But I'm a politician and when I lost my last election, and there will be a recount, I didn't go around singing about being a loser I twittered that Obama is a Terrorist.

Sister Mary Constance - Oh no, you didn't.

Tammy Jean Albertson - I had to it's a fact.
