"On my life I tried today, there's so much I felt I should say, but even if your heart would listen, I doubt I could explain," - 'If you don't, don't' - Jimmy Eat World

Ok, I'm gonna talk crap now. The subject is gonna be the movie of my life. Which naturally doesn't exist yet. But it might someday. Possibly. Because if Jim Morrison gets one then I see no reason why the rest of us shouldn't be clamouring for our own. On a related note at least two of my exes have been to see Jim Morrisson's grave. Why? From now on (and so not including anybody I may currently be affiliated with in any manner) I think I shall disregard any and all girls who have travelled to see Jim's place of rest. Or own any of his over-rated, organ filled crappy music. With the honourable exception of 'Break On Through'

The title: Blue All Over
This reflects both the jersies of Limerick FC and my occasional lapses into sadness and such. Thankfully these lapses are getting less and less frequent these days. Hurrah! However, given that the basic plot premise doesn't amount to much more than me wasting my life after college I may also dust off an old title of mine called 'Deadtime'.

The cast:
Dar Collopy: James Duval
Niall Noonan: Owen Wilson
Brian Collopy: Ethan Embry Mark from Empire Records
Bob Kiely: Zak Orth (another Loser veteran, Bob wanted Jack Black but this is far more appropriate we feel. We being me and Niall for anybody who cares).
Don Davern: Fred Savage
David Tobin: Thomas Sadoski (from Loser no less, kudos to Niall for helping me with that one)
Trevor Beacom: Joaquin Phoenix
Maria Noonan: Keira Knightley
Kitt Vercetti: Eliza Dushku
Cat Carty: Anna Chlumsky
Rob Murphy: Paulo Costanzo
Kalam, Saif & Tipu: The guy from Van Wilder and two other random Bollywood actors

I figure that covers the people who have occupied the most of my time in the last few months. Anybody who's been overlooked... well I've either forgotten you or deliberately overlooked you so... meh, my bad I suppose. Claire Danes will also star, as herself.

Basic Plot: Basically it's the story of one guy (me as it happens) trying to sort himself out after college. I have no idea how it's gonna end yet but as I'm thinking quite seriously of moving after Christmas that might not be a bad place to finish up. Other than that expect lots of football and music, plenty of bizarre conversations with Niall (just there as we serached the IMDB we were staggered by how well 'Runaway Bride' did in the US box office. Horribly, horribly well), not enough kissing (boo to Apple computers) and some sleeping and work to round things off. As you can imagine this ain't gonna be no big action flick, I'll probably just nick the best bits of 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind', 'Vanilla Sky' and 'Donnie Darko'.

The Soundtrack: This is gonna be a bit of a split thingy, about half of it will be reasonably bouncy emo/garage punk/metal type stuff and the other half a more sedate type of thing. As a selfish fucker I'm also going to include two of my own songs. The theme tune to the whole thing is gonna be 'Sometime to Return' by Soul Asylum.

  1. 'Sometime to Return' - Soul Asylum
  2. 'A Praise Chorus' - Jimmy Eat World
  3. 'No More Lies' - My Pet Giraffe
  4. 'Last Train Home' - lostprophets
  5. 'My Reminder' - The Beautiful Mistake
  6. 'When I Argue I See Shapes' - Idlewild
  7. 'Happiness Is All The Rage' - The Promise Ring
  8. 'So Much For The Afterglow' - Everclear
  9. 'Born For Me' - Paul Westerberg
  10. 'Places That Are Gone' - Tommy Keene
  11. 'Remember To Breath' - Dashboard Confessional
  12. 'No Promise Have I Made' - Husker Du
  13. 'Lavender Love' - My Pet Giraffe
  14. 'Mean To Me' - Crowded House
  15. 'Lovesong' - The Cure
  16. 'When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up' - Snow Patrol
  17. 'Just A Day' - Feeder
  18. 'Back Home' - Yellowcard

Alright, I'm about to wrap things up for the day but before I do here's a few quick, non-movie related thoughts.

  1. Don brought home a stray dog some night last week and slept with it on the kitchen floor. Good for him!
  2. I was supposed to be with Kitt today (though Niall is a worthy substitute in all ways but one) but because of the fuckers at Apple computers in Cork it's not happening. :-(
  3. I have no work for the next two days and I now have nothing to do with my time.
  4. I'm hungry so I must go eat.
  5. There's a song that comes on at work about hotels in California. It has nothing to do with The Eagles (thankfully) or even the lesser known song of the same name by Nerf Herder. If anybody has any idea what I'm talking about please tell me...

Laters...
